Scoring with My Baby Daddy

by Livvy Stone

I got knocked up in a coat closet. Now we're in a marriage of convenience.
And there's nothing convenient about keeping my hands off my baby daddy.

I was shocked when I “met" Sean Ice.
Hockey god. Bad boy heir to the Ice Ranch & Resort.
And the stranger that left me heartbroken four years ago.

At six-plus feet of hard muscle, he's pure temptation in worn jeans.
All I can think of is him pinning me to the nearest wall.

Sean is shocked too. When he meets our son.
His Catholic faith drives him to do right by us, so we need to marry.

I've done everything for my kid—now I'll do this too.

For Sean, this marriage is his shot at redemption.
His chance to be the father and husband he never thought he could be.

But for me? Putting my heart—and my son’s—on the line could destroy me forever.

DNF - book starts with H stumbling out of ow's bed after a drunken stupor. next page is him meeting h and finding out about his son.

his immediate response is "I come from a Catholic family, Aubrey. Out-of-wedlock babies... they're not just frowned upon; they're a no-go. My family, they've got expectations, traditions." "Will you marry me, Aubrey?" he asks, the question hanging between us in the quiet air.

umm... him jumping from ow's bed into h's sounds gross to me so dnf it is 🫡

This was my first virtual narration, and my last! I’ll make sure never to hear one again—not even for free. The narration had no emotion, kept mispronouncing words, lost context repeatedly, and didn’t pause, escalate, or de-escalate at any appropriate times. Things like saying “give me the four hundred eleven” instead of “give me the four-one-one” were just the tip of the iceberg, and all over the entirety of this. The story itself wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t great. There were too many tropes thrown in, and none were fleshed out completely. Some were thrown in and never revisited, giving us no closure with them at all. It’s unfortunate, because from the blurb, it had so much potential, and could’ve been great.

avoid at all cost

This book is exactly what you think it is. But I didn’t enjoy the journey. I wouldn’t recommend it. I wanted to quit at 30% but figured it had to get better, it didn’t.

I don’t know who decided a playboy, party boy ex NHL turned minor league player should suddenly care about his catholic upbringing when he learns about a woman he didn’t care enough to look for after a robbery gone wrong shows up with his kid, but don’t worry they HAVE to get married so the kid isn’t a b@st@rd?! … that’s not what “marriage of convenience” means… that’s not what any of this means.

It had the concept that it could’ve been good but it wasn’t. He’s lame, there’s little to no redeeming qualities of him. She cares about her son and questions this man’s involvement, but don’t worry she decides to marry him immediately upon the suggestion of it… why?!

There’s maybe OW/OM drama, but it’s not fully developed or thought out or necessary. His brother, Jake and sister, Emma seem to be the best characters of the book and perhaps there will be a series and they’ll get to shine more, or they’ll be terrible if we saw them more, who knows.

This books tries to do so many things and it doesn’t do anything well. Like now there’s PTSD, there’s drug abuse, evil cousins, but no one is explaining why the cousins are in a bad way! There’s the neighbor that likes Jack. There’s so much secrecy and miscommunication even though it’s wholly unnecessary. Like why are we suddenly talking about therapy at 82%?! You should be wrapping everything up! They’ll agree to something and then the next pov they’ve changed their minds?! The story sometimes acts like the audience knows things that we don’t… who are these random names Audrey just knows? Though she isn’t from this town? How does she know this history that we’ve never seen her take the time to learn? SUDDENLY WERE BACK TO THE PLOT TO ELIMINATE THE ICES?! Why do we need a sudden accident?! Why isn’t Sean responsible?! Why is Audrey so wishy washy? Why does this book suck?! Why is it holding me hostage?! 85% and Jack is waxing poetic about this dang ranch, and honestly I don’t believe that anyone besides Emma cares about this ranch… so something fell through the cracks. And we randomly circle back to God? Like … this story clearly lost its way in the telling. “I need to fix this” is Sean’s motto and also should’ve been Stone’s and her editor, cause what the heck.

"Yeah," I finally whisper, the word a fragile thread of resolve. "I've got a lot to fix." Aubrey reaches out, her hand finding mine, squeezing gently. "We've got time, Sean. We'll figure this out. Together." AND YET AUBREY IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT LEAVING!!

Another time jump?! Three?! Only one was beneficial. Why not keep all the interesting stuff for the epilogue at the end *eye roll* like we didn’t see Sean come to terms with having to give up hockey, suddenly he’s just ok with his podcast??? “Aubrey’s dramatic flair” at no point in this book do we see that.

I should’ve DNF’d but instead I skimmed to the end in case it got interesting, it never did. But this book deserves to be forgotten amongst over one to two star reads instead of immortalized as a DNF.

Livvy Stone is definitely taking more risks with her writing and I am here for it! She is still writing hockey romances, but she is getting bolder in the spiciness, writing stronger FMCs, and making sure the men have to work to earn their women. I love that she is giving us a new series, focusing on the Ice Family and we get a great introduction to them in this book.

Aubrey meets a guy named Shane at a party and literally almost crushes his family jewels. They hit it off and end up hooking up in the coat closet. They exchange numbers to continue to get to know each other, but a mugging gone wrong, cuts their communication off. When she finds out she is pregnant she does everything she can to find Shane, but no one seems to know who this man is. We jump ahead and find Aubrey is part of a marketing duo who thrive in their business. They have been hired to help a man market his AirBnB upstate, so Aubrey goes with her son. She is shocked to find Shane at the ranch though!

Sean (in a loud club name was misheard as Shane) is shocked to see Aubrey standing in his father’s kitchen with a child who looks just like him. He had no clue he had a child and is taken aback that Aubrey never told him. When it becomes clear, that due to the mishearing of his name, they were unable to connect, Sean begs her for a chance to make this right. She agrees to get to know him, but they will not share with her three year old that Sean is his father. Now all Sean needs to do is prove he is up for this challenge and the man that Aubrey has gotten to know through the media is not who he really is at all.

I loved reading about Aubrey, Sean, and the whole Ice family. I loved how quickly she connected with his father and sister, being an ally for his sister in a world full of men. I truly can’t wait to see more of her. I love how Livvy takes her writing seriously, but the storylines as a whole are not taken too seriously. She loves to make her readers laugh, her characters massively flawed, and the redemption that must take place in the story worth reading. I enjoyed watching these two grow and develop as the book progressed. It was a great first book to this series and I am excited for the next one.

As always, review any author notes before reading.

Aubrey meets a guy named Shane at a party and after having a good conversation and dancing they decide to have a quick moment in a coat closet. As one does after meeting someone they had an instant connection with. At the end of the night they exchange numbers and plan a date. On the way to the date disaster strikes Shane.

Shane who is actually Sean we find out (miscommunication of name) is a hockey player and deals with some addiction issues due to an injury. He has to get his life sorted or he’ll be dropped from the team as she’s a media nightmare after a little tell all comes out.

Aubrey’s friend and boss sends her to a job with her 3 year son to meet with a potential client and while there she sees Sean again. Sean needs help fixing his image and due to him having a son he never knew about he makes a decision to marry Aubrey. She doesn’t really offer any objections just that they hold off on telling their son he’s his father (which understandable). Throughout the book they work on communication, respecting each other, learning the other person and how to be a family through a tough time. Aubrey and Luke help Sean battle his addiction and see that life isn’t all about hockey it’s about family and life.

While the book captures you from the very beginning it felt very rushed to me. Things moved too fast with the main characters and it just felt off to me. Sean has major character development and Aubrey is an always sees the bright side of things type of person. I love jokey romance books but I wish there was more hockey and less of the same repetitive monologue. The characters sounded very similar and I had to go back and make sure who I was readings POV a few times. Would I recommend this book to anyone? Absolutely! It was a good book to introduce me to the author!

At the end of the night they exchange numbers and plan a date. On the way to the date disaster strikes Sean. Aubrey believes he ghosted her, not knowing about what really happened.

Sean almost had his ice hockey career ended by that injury but he's now playing with a minor league and working his way back. When another date does a kiss and tell, he realizes needs to change his reputation. At his family ranch he sees the woman he's not been able to forget for three years with a child who looks remarkably like him. He doesn't think there's any option other than marriage.

Loving Sean Ice

Aubrey and Sean's story is fun and romantic. Full of drama, humor, secrets, confessions, twists, a sweet toddler, romance with spice and great chemistry between the main characters. This is an ice hockey romance you won't want to put down once you start reading as you can't help falling in love with the characters despite their flaws.

When Aubrey meets a guy named Shane at a party they have a great connection but after planning n meeting again the next day, and multiple texts, he ghosts her. Two years later she goes to help a ranch promote their B&B, only to discover the son of the owner is none other than the man she thought she'd never find.

Sean almost had his ice hockey career ended by an injury but he's now playing with a minor league and working his way back. When another date does a kiss and tell he realises needs to change his reputation. At his family ranch he sees the woman he's not been able to forget for two years with a child who looks remarkably like him and he doesn't think there's any option other than marriage. But she now knows his reputation and is worried her son might be hurt. Can he convince her to give him a chance?

With an ex in denial, a neighbouring land owner causing problems and a shoulder that won't stop hurting things aren't going to be easy for him to find a HEA with the woman he just wants to have a family with.

Scoring with my Baby Daddy is a cute and steamy read. I think the author does well with the storyline. The struggle with addiction was written realistically and on point. It’s something you rarely hear about it real life but more than likely happens more than we’d think.

I loved the characters in this story! Little Luke was adorable. I love how strong Aubrey was in this story. She wanted to let him in and trust him but was still a little wary and wanted to wait on telling Luke that Sean was his dad. The thing I was not expecting but thought was cute was Sean’s proposal and wanting to make sure that Luke wasn’t just a child made out of wedlock. Most of the time the guys are running the opposite direction when they find out they have a child and he dove right in with two feet.

The steamy scenes were well written and I loved the fact that the majority of the story was at the Ice family ranch where they were surrounded by a tight knit family.

If you love a good hockey romance with steamy scenes and the secret baby trope then this story is 100% for you. I also loved the addition of the additional chapter. It really rounded out the story.

[Grinning Cat · Rating 3 out of 5]

I’m on the fence with this one. It’s hard for me to decide how many stars to give it, but ultimately I settled on three.
I liked the beginning. It started off really strong. I found the shoulder injury and the pain pill issues really thought provoking and a good addition to the plot.
I thought the ending was disjointed. I thought that a good portion of the story dragged. And Aubrey’s issues with being afraid Sean would leave got old. I cannot believe that they didn’t tell Luke that Sean was his father for two years, despite Sean being a part of his daily life. And I can’t believe that most people never guessed, considering how much Luke looks like Sean (I keep wanting to call Sean “Darth” because of the Luke thing, but Sean is way nicer than Darth.) Don’t get me wrong; I understand that she had some issues with trusting Sean, but she let Sean into Luke’s daily life, so she must have trusted him with her most important person.
I think that there are the seeds of a good book here, but that it needs more work.

When a coat closet hook up leads to a real connection they do flirty texts and plan for a second date. But when he doesn’t show up to the second date and then ghosts her, Aubrey just tries to move on until she finds out she’s pregnant. Asking everyone at the party no one knows her baby daddy so she goes on with her life until 3 years later she runs into him when she’s working on a marketing campaign for his family. Turns out he had a valid excuse for ghosting but can they make it work as an instant family or will the pressure and their past be too much?

This was not what I was expecting in a secret baby hockey romance. I think of it more like a second chance one considering she tried to find him but couldn’t and then the second she does she tells him it’s his kid so it’s not really a secret baby. The spice was good, their relationship kind of makes me mad though he never really apologizes he just keeps saying it won’t happen again and then it does so it’s not really the healthiest relationship. Make sure to check the TW on this one there are a lot: drugs, PTSD, violence, car accidents, etc.

[Toni · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a cute love story with some serious undertones of battling addiction.
Aubrey, our FMC, has been forced to become a single mom due to a miscommunication after a spur of the moment coat closet hook up. The start of the book really got me! Who doesn't love a closet rendezvous?!?
I really liked Aubrey and her always positive outlook throughout the book when it came to Sean, our MMC. Sean is honestly a hot mess, but he really is trying to better himself for both Aubrey and their son, Luke. It just takes him a while to get there. I found myself shaking my head at his drama more than once and hoping that Aubrey would forgive him once his latest issue came to light.
I enjoyed the epilogue and love how a certain addition left part of the story open for more books regarding the Ice siblings, especially since Sean has some very interesting siblings. I think this would be a great family to explore featuring a different member for each book.
I was given a free version of this book in exchange for my honest review.

[Darlene Palmer · Rating 5 out of 5]

The prologue of this book captures your attention.
As soon as Sean and Aubrey are introduced, you know you want to know more.
An instant attraction and chemistry peaks the readers interest.
What was a collision course of pleasure soon becomes dead air..
Two years pass and the best surprise of Audrey's life transpires.
A new business proposition brings Aubrey to the Ice Ranch where she once again connects with Sean Ice.
Catholic values brings a marriage proposal to the forefront because what started out as two people becomes three.
The author has given the reader a treasure with this book. It speaks of a selfless love for a child that is put first, and a love that at times is blurry but makes itself known.
A strong family connection makes the bumps and grinds easier to navigate , paving the way to the family relationship that is so wanted.
This story was well written and I'm happy to see an additional chapter was added to extend the story.
Thirteen months later brings a lot of changes that will leave your heart warm.

3.5* - Rounded up to 4...

This has quite a heavy main topic that may be triggering to some, so please check contact warnings.

That said, Sean and Aubrey's is an intense roller coaster ride. There was a lot to deal with between the characters, and I'm glad that they found their HEA in the end. I enjoyed Luke and Emma's characters, and also Annie. I'm looking forward to learning more about the various Ice Family members through the series.

Sean had some intense issues with communication, and I found this difficult to read while Aubrey was really trying to work with him. But this is in line with the issues he was dealing with. And Yasmine is a problem just waiting to explode on page.

I felt that the story didn't really flow very well, and this made it a bit difficult for me to really get lost in the story. However, it was still an enjoyable read.

Hot dang and then-some, he is all heat and trousers as my mum used to say. ..boy is he handsome… Anyway I’m here to share my findings instead of hockey players hot bods like nectar from the gods . A couple meet there’s lots of heat . She stumbles on his member he does well to remember the instant attraction at his feet. “Nice to officially meet you, Aubrey. Though, let's aim for less dramatic encounters in the future, yeah?”“Sounds good.” Then he’s glancing over at the bar. “And how about a drink while you recover from the trauma of nearly headbutting me in “the family jewels?”she emits a laugh at her gaff “Sounds even better.” Well there’s been worse introductions and it’s plain to see . These two have some chemistry. His fingers do their skilful dance when they’re all hooked up for a dalliance. It’s all well and good and he got some good wood ,and in the closet they both maybe ..no not on the fence , literally. No it doesn’t make sense but I suppose they were all tense , in need of release . I’m sure I actually I heard her shout please?.. oh no that was me sheesh! Where was I already? Oh yeah a tsunami of desire they ride the crest of a wave. “You keep teasing me, and you might lose those balls.”He laughs. “Sorry, just trying to savor the sight of the sexiest goddamn woman I’ve seen in my life sitting in front of me with her legs spread.” Well this is nice and all but they best be on their way ,pick this back up another day yeah? Yeah well that all went a bit pear shaped and all because he got shot did our Sean Ice to end his NHL career and left him wallowing in spirits and beer not nice . He ain’t exactly having a ball , remembering his Audrey ,he could have had it all…Jack Ice his dad , a devout catholic takes him to church sets him to work since he’s back home for the week to help out . Aubrey is running her shared marketing business with her friend Savannah from her home office when in pops her son Luke the cutie pie. He don’t,look much like a dinosaur,though he did try. Even had the roar . It’s his dad he looks like more but where is he? Well you see you’d make a better job of looking if who you sought was called Shane but sorry dear his name’s Sean . So back to Aub who isn’t exactly forlorn or nothing just missing something… she’s at Ice Ranch with her son , taking some well earned fresh air. She’s met by Emma Ice who shows her a few things awaiting her father to finish whatever he is doing. Well next thing she knows she’s face to face with a bloke called Sean but she knows him as Shane her baby’s dad oh boy is he gonna be mad. So they found each other, Sean is Emma’s brother. What more can I say…. Well I could say that this book was mighty fine and I certainly had a good time between the sheets ,I mean covers …argh same difference I mean the book , ooh there I go again because that rhymes with… yes we know how it goes. So here they are suppose the obvious question is Luke. Although you’ve only got to take one look to see ,he’s the spitting image , look see for yourself. Well among the heat that was a real treat there’s some other issues dealt , it’s the same way this fine author always goes , head on collision with expert precision and timing and sensitivity to boot. And look at little Luke . Ain’t he CUTE! Well sos his dad goes without saying . I wouldn’t mind him giving me a good sleighing well it is nearly Christmas and he’s a winner , winner Christmas dinner fall mad for. Do yourself a favour girl I implore. Fantastic book Livvy Stone you certainly wrote this well , every minute was swell. Divine and sweet. Everything packed up nice and neat. A pure unadulterated pleasurable storyline .

SCORING WITH MY BABY DADDY by Livvy Stone is the first book in the Ice Chronicles Hockey series and I’m looking forward to reading more. This is Aubrey and Sean’s story and is told by them in alternating chapters.

There’s a secret baby and what’s supposed to be a marriage of convenience along with family, friends, hockey, injuries, work, animals and ranch life. There’s also a lot of loving, some steamy moments, romance and love. The prologue set the stage but was a little confusing and complicated of who Shane is until I got more into the story. There are multiple stories being told with many likable characters and some I was less than fond of.

The story was sometimes choppy but held my interest throughout. There’s closure with the story continuing six months later and the double epilogues. There’s also some hints of who might be together in future books. I can’t wait to see what Ms.Stone pens next and who will be front and center.

Sean, Aubrey, and Luke! This story pulls at the heartstrings. It talks about the difficulties of relationships especially when one of the main characters is dealing with addiction due to an injury. Aubrey has a big heart and her willingness to help Sean through his toughest times was commendable and loving. I did not however, like the fact that she made Luke call Sean Uncle until the end of the story. I get that she was trying to protect him, but I hurt for Sean because he yearned for Luke to call him daddy. Sean's family was super supportive and extremely compassionate and very loving. I am so glad everything turned out for all in the end. The HEA was perfect! Livvy did a great job writing this hockey sprots romance with a wonderful athlete who surpassed the stigma of the bad athlete! It is so good to see that there are good athletic men out there!!

Scoring with My Baby Daddy is the first story in the Ice Chronicles Hockey Series. When I first read the overview for this book, I knew that I had to read this book to see what was going to happen between the main characters. I absolutely adored getting to know both Aubrey and Sean as well as witnessing their fabulous love unfolding throughout the book. I couldn’t get enough of Aubrey and Sean’s amazing story. Scoring with My Baby Daddy to be charming, suspenseful and a definite page-turner. I do love that Aubrey and Sean have a happy ending to their story. Author Livvy Stone has done a marvelous job with the way she created this remarkable sports romance. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone to read. I’m looking forward to reading more amazing romance books by this author.

3.5*. Aubrey is a single mom from a brief episode with a man who she thinks ghosted her. When she takes a marketing assignment to work with Ice Ranch she is shocked to find her one night stand and baby daddy lives on the ranch. Sean can’t believe the woman he never forgot is in his house and is even more shocked to find out he is a father. Now he just has to convince Aubrey to give him a chance. This book deals with some tough issues. I had a hard time feeling these two and found the book dragged on. The back and forth between them often seemed immature and frustrated me. This was not one of my favourite books by this author. I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

A solid 3.5 stars!
I really liked the storyline of this book, and it started out very strong, pulling me in to keep turning the pages. I'm a sucker for a hockey romance, but I craved a little more of the physical hockey aspect and a little less of all the references to hockey instead (like 'louder than a playoff game in overtime' or 'quicker than a puck on ice'). Besides all those allusions, I liked how easily the writing flowed and a lot of time was spent to really dig into each character. The steamy scenes were also written excellently!
My rating system:
5=will read again
4=recommend to everyone
3=recommend to anyone liking that particular writing style/trope
2=do not recommend

Couldn't put it down!!

Think this is one of my favorite Livvy Stone's books. If I had one criticism it would be the MFC seemed to always has some issue and seemed to hold it over the MMC. However as mentioned it was minor thing that bugged me. Overall, Shane/Sean was an amazing MMC because he showed he might stumble or have to deal with the cards he's delt but in the end he steps up and is actually an amazing, thoughtful MMC and the perfect book boyfriend we all hope to meet. Otherwise, if the readers loose the HEA dreams what's the point! Wonderful, amazing job Livvy Stone with Scoring with My Baby Daddy!! Can't wait for the next books coming up in this series, can't wait!!!!!

Aubrey’s big decision.
Sean and Aubrey meet at a wedding. Plans are made to meet the following day, but tragedy happens. Years later they meet again through her work, their attraction still there. This time however things are very different, he is not the same man she first met, that led to her pregnancy. Sean’s in denial about an injury, and Aubrey is scared to commit, with good reason.
I enjoyed this book, though at times it felt like she was his mother. This did not distract too much. Aubrey was strong and determined, though I think using her son at times, to keep Sean at arms length, for her hearts sake.
It’s a good length book, though both the main characters repeated their thoughts a little too much, knocking a star off.

[Mindy Lopez · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is Book 1 in the Ice Chronicles Hockey Series by this author. It is a second chance romance between Aubrey and Sean who had a one night stand four years ago. These two flawed but likeable souls and the unique plot make for an intriguing read. What starts out as a marriage of convenience turns into something more. Once they reconnect, it is a bumpy ride with drama and steam, sexual tension and chemistry, forgiveness and redemption, family dynamic, twists and turns, plus appealing secondary characters to keep the reader interested. A page turner.

OMG 😱 this was a great and emotional moment. It was a steamy page turner and the suspense was insane. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t even put it down. Sean and Aubrey had a one night of passion. They hey couldn’t fight temptation anymore the chemistry and physical attraction were captivating and romance in this moment. That night will change their life forever with shocking surprise and unexpected consequences that is going to be mind blowing. I definitely recommend this book and you won’t be disappointed.

Sean and Aubrey meet one night and sparks fly. Their one night together changes Aubrey’s life. Fast forward several years and Aubrey and Sean run into each other again. The chemistry is still there and Sean wants to do the right thing. He proposes marriage to Aubrey. The road to their HEA is met with struggles they must overcome- some personal demons to overcome as well as interfering exes.

Add this to your TBR if you are into sports romance, hockey romances, secret baby, marriage of convenience, one night stands, or small town romance.

This. This is the writing from the author that I have been waiting for and wanting for months! Fantastic story, great ending and so much more!

Strong characters with a superb story line that flows – one of those that makes you stay up late reading! I know that I caught myself doing that more than once!

Aubrey and Sean were the perfect couple – both flawed and willing to fight for what they want and not back down. Admitting mistakes is sometimes difficult but with the right motivation, it can be done. Little Luke was that motivation for both of them. And they earned the HEA!

Very awesome read. Livvy has really outdone herself with this beautiful story. Sean and Aubrey's story is heartwarming and so full of love and commitment. Aubrey stands by Sean through all his troubles and is a better man with her in his life. She has a strong personality that helps Sean to realize he needs to step up. And it all started in a coat closet 😉💜 . And it seems that he's not the only one that enjoys the coat closet. Wink wink. Hoping there is a following book about the next coat closet brother. LoL
