Stealing Forever: Deluxe Edition

Bridge Point Bears Baseball #1

by A.R. Rose

From author A.R. Rose comes complete standalone baseball romance for the readers who live for single dad/nanny, age gaps, and sports.

My daughter’s new nanny is the curveball I never saw coming.

My whole life’s been spent in stadiums—watching, playing, coaching. Baseball isn’t just what I do, it’s who I am, and I’m damn good at it.

What I’m not good at? Raising my three-year-old daughter alone. So when a coworker tells me he knows the perfect nanny, I don’t hesitate hiring her.

Hailey Shea is everything I didn’t know I beautiful, intelligent, and incredible with my daughter.

She’s also eleven years younger than me and now on my payroll. My instincts tell me to keep my distance, but the more time I spend with her, the less control I seem to have.

Our late night conversations, lingering glances, and secret touches have me rethinking everything I thought I knew, and reevaluating what I want.

But falling in love isn’t a part of the game plan this season, and if I mess this up, I’m not the only one whose heart will be broken.

My daughter has already watched one woman she loves walk out of her life, and I don’t know if either of us could survive losing another.

Is Hailey destined to be my second strike? Or is she the home run I didn’t realize I was waiting for?

If you’re looking for a sweet and spicy romance with a pinch of chaos and a lot of heart, Stealing Forever is it. Hailey and Declan’s story had me laughing, swooning, and totally invested. From awkward moments that had me giggling out loud to flirty banter and smutty read alouds (yes, really), this book delivers on all fronts. 🥵📚

I adored Hailey’s romance book obsession (relatable) and watching her bond with Sailor felt natural and so heartwarming. Declan is the perfect mix of grumpy and guarded, but watching him fall was so satisfying. This is a strong start to a new series and I already can’t wait for more!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tropes:
👧🏻Single dad

A.R. ROSE KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK AGAIN!!!! ⚾ 🧢❤️‍🔥
When Declan needs a new nanny because of his highly unpredictable schedule as the new coach for the Bridge Point Bears baseball team, he hires Hailey. Hailey is currently studying for her master's in education online so an unpredictable schedule is no problem for her.
She quickly fits the role of nanny to 3 yr old Sailor, who loves her immediately.
As much as Declan doesn't want to admit it, he sees something in Hailey he hasn't seen in practically anyone in a very long time.
After sharing ONE BED (ahhh!!) they stop fighting feelings for each other and find themselves in new territory. Hailey navigates her feelings of not wanting to disappoint not only herself, but Sailor as well. Declan realizing that he is only in his own way of finding happiness.
This story had me blushing and kicking my feet. I mean he makes he read her smut books OUT LOUD to him!! 🤤🤤🤤
Declan is exactly who you want to call DADDY! 💃💃💃💃

I am such a sucker for single dad romances, so when I saw the notification that AR Rose was writing one plus it being a sports romance I was instantly sold.
I was a bit thrown off initially with the bit of a time jump right after Hailey is hired as the nanny only because I was worried it would feel like we would be missing a lot of the build up, but once I kept reading it no longer bothered me. There was still plenty of tension between Hailey and Declan. I personally loved how the author featured some of their story Only One Night (I had previous read and loved that one too) so the scene were it gets read aloud..ooof. Overall I really enjoyed this one and I cannot wait to continue the series!

Declan is desperate for a nanny for his 3 year old daughter Sailor when he is connected with Hailey. And she is the perfect fit for their little family. Hailey jumped right into the nanny jig and was the female influence that Sailor needed in her life.

Declan is new to being a head coach and add juggling single fatherhood, this man was stressed. But Hailey took that stress away and so much more.

Declan and Hailey really were great together! I loved how their feelings were almost immediate and they didn’t let anything get in their way. And the mouth on his man 🥵

I also really enjoyed all the public displays of affection vs going viral between these two. That was another fun aspect!

I love a single dad romance, throw in some baseball and you have me hooked!!

Declan hired Hailey as his nanny in times of desperation but when she shows up for her interview he knows he is in trouble. She is everything he wants in a woman and she is amazing with his daughter Sailor to top it off. But once they start to get closer, Declan’s past comes to shake things up.

Declan is the definition of a hot dad. Coach of a baseball team, he tries to give all to his job and his daughter. He really puts his focus on Sailor and when Hailey enters their family it’s like the final piece to his puzzle. He is so growly and protective, all the things you want in your MMC. I also love that he didn’t let Hailey get in her own head and he really fought for their relationship.

Hailey was such a ray of sunshine. She was so amazing with Sailor and really held down the fort for Declan but in more of a role than a nanny. She really took them on as her family. She did have self doubt and I was glad Declan was there to help her navigate that.

Loved meeting the team, you can really see some of the stories starting to unfold and I’m excited to continue the series!!

This is a beautiful story! Definely one of my tops reads so far this year! The chemistry these two have is off the charts! Also the background of both MCs is indepth and complete, you have no choice but to love both of them. Sailor is just the cherry in top! But not only that the sister's relationship is top notch as well as Declan and his guy friends. I loved this from start to finish. I just might be in a book slump after this!

This was too cute but also had depth and maturity. Who doesn't love a single dad X nanny?! It gets me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Especially when the FMC is clearly just as in love with the kiddo.

There was a wonderful found family, and I am looking forward to everyone else's story as well.

[VoraciousReader · Rating 2 out of 5]

1. I didn’t like that the book completely skipped over Hailey first meeting Declan and Sailor and the first THREE MONTHS of her working for them.
2. Why on earth would Declan so easily allow Sailor’s mother back in her life and go so far as to put her up in a hotel and invite her to sit in the VIP box at his games, especially when he knew that she was using him and their daughter to get publicity for her “acting career”???

THE ROMANTIC BOSNIAN BLOG REVIEW
4.5 ☆ ARC from Author THANK YOU!

New to me author!! I am so glad I was able to read this in ARC form but now I NEED more of the series please!

We have the MMC a head coach and 11 year senior the MFC who happens to need a job and ends up as a nanny for the hot single dad. She bonds with the 3 year old immediately, who wouldn't she is the sweetest little one. Now these two fight it they do, but the line get blurred and I don't know what but there was so shame or scared to be together JUST because she was the nanny, I found that refreshing and LOVED it! This was a easy one sitting read for me, sweet, romantic, fun, engaging and very spicy! Just wait until the MMC figures out the MFC loved the praise 😌

I am very excited for more in the series!!

Another Home Run book for AR
I loved everything about this book!!! Whats not to love with a hot single dad in need of a nanny, falls for her rigut away but afraid to make a move and loose such an incredible roll model for his daughter, their first kiss going viral, overcoming all their fears just to have his daughter mother who abandoned them walk back into their lives and threaten everything…. Yes, I would say this one has a whole host of reasons to not miss this one.
You will fall in love with Declan, who is raising the cutest three-year-old all on his own. When his nanny suddenly quits because his work hours are so crazy he is left to go back to finding someone that not only will be good with his daughter but able to be flexible with his schedule. Suddenly, he is referred to Hailey, who is finishing her masters in education. Perfect fit until they both start developing feelings for one another. Declan fights, making the first move and losing not only his nanny but a woman both he and his three-year-old have fallen for. Hailey struggles with her feelings for her boss and making the first move.is so not like her. Combined with the fact she has fallen just as hard for his daughter, she has her pushing her attraction to the side. One hotel mix-up has these two thrown together in close quarters and finally taking a risk both are so afraid of. But when the coaches team wins their first game, Declan throws all caution to the wind and not only kisses Hailey for the first time in public, but in such a swoon worthy moment it is captured on camera and quickly goes viral. When these two finally drop all their insecurities and throw cation into the wind, it is just when something or someone appears again and can threaten everything. You just have to grab your own copy to see if the coach and the nanny can weather the storm of hurricane Addison and make this new romance work? Or will the coach lose the only woman him and his daughter have both fallen for

Rating: 3.5 ⭐

This was a good book and a good start to a new series. I enjoyed the characters and the plot moved along well. Personally, I found the pacing to be just a bit fast for my taste. I would have liked a bit more of a slow burn, but that’s just my personal preference. I also found that we didn’t see a lot of Sailor and since it was a single dad romance, I would have preferred there be a little more of her in the story. While I think that Hailey had growth in this story, I wish she could have had a little bit more since I know she had self-esteem issues, so it would have been nice to see her overcome those more on her own and not entirely because of Declan. There were a few times in this story that the plot felt a bit disjointed because of time jumps. One second we’re seeing one day and then the next chapter starts out telling us “a few days later” but we never saw anything that may have happened in those few days that would lead to the characters feeling or acting certain ways. I also was a bit disappointed when, at one point, Declan said he was going to go talk to his friends about his feelings for Hailey, and there was another time jump to the next day and to Hailey’s POV, so we never got to see him talking things through with his friends. I would have liked to see that, especially since a pretty big moment in Hailey and Declan’s relationship happened almost immediately after, so it would have been nice to see Declan’s thought process. All in all, this wasn’t a bad book, there were just a few instances that didn’t hit right for me personally. If you enjoy a single dad/nanny baseball romance with a one bed moment and an age gap to top it all off, this is the perfect book for you!


Thank you to AR Rose for providing me with an ARC

Hello, new book boyfriend! Declan and Hailey are the cutest! And we can’t forget about little Sailor!

I loved the instant relationship Hailey built with Declan’s daughter, Sailor. And Declan found himself instantly infatuated with her but denied his feelings because she’s his nanny, and 11 years younger than him. It was so much fun seeing his resolve break around her, leading them to a viral video once he gives into his temptation!

Declan had me swooning over ALL THE PRAISE he gave Hailey! A.R. Rose did not disappoint with the praise kink. Daddy Declan’s mouth had me melting 🫠 and when they found themselves stuck in a hotel room with only one bed (screaming!!) and Hailey’s reading smut before bed, cue the cold shower needed!
The tension in this scene was just 🥵🥵

“𝓡𝓮𝓪𝓭,” 𝓘 𝓻𝓪𝓼𝓹. “𝓟𝓲𝓬𝓽𝓾𝓻𝓮 𝓾𝓼 𝓪𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓶𝓪𝓲𝓷 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓼.”

But I was absolutely swept off my feet with the reassurance he gave Hailey after his ex decides to come back into his life wanting to be a family again. Talk about a man showing for up for his women. Declan was head over heels in love with her, and I’m head over heels in love with Declan!

I desperately need more and can’t wait to see the other couples in the rest of this series!

Absolutely adorable slow burn with all kinds of delicious tension and a super swoony single dad who completely runs off with your heart because the man knows how to say all the right words and make certain every single person with the internet knows he means them. It’s viral moments, attraction they can’t fight, all the right kinds of awkward almost kisses, one super cute little girl that holds them both back because nothing is worth wrecking her little world, a seriously smoking hot bed time story, and one perfect fuck it moment when he knows she’s it and he will have her, permanently and forever, and oh my gosh is it perfect.
This is just such a cute read. It’s almost hilarious how hard Hailey and Declan fight it, for a lot of good reasons, but there is nothing that can stop an attraction like theirs or how much more it really is before they’ve even thought about crossing that line. I love how important it is to both of them that Sailor is the priority, it actually makes that moment when they decide to jump in that much more fabulous because you know they’re sure that it’s way more than just chemistry. Just a charming read that you sink right into with main characters that are easily loveable and a single dad nanny plot that is sexy, swoony, and makes your heart soar. It’s a great start to a new series and the side characters that get introduced are great and definitely have you invested in seeing where the series goes, this group of ball players are funny, loyal, and pretty much guarantee some great upcoming stories.

A.R. Rose! I love this book so much ! Stealing Forever? Forever stealing my heart . Swoon . These two though seriously,well look at them . Don’t they look cute with that character work of heart and all?…Anyway back to my review now that I’ve done gushing…A baseball romance that steals all the bases of love . It’s so fine and dreamily delicious it made me avaricious. I mean come on Declan is a hon rearing his three year old little girl on his own ,but something’s gotta give and he’s balled over by a suggestion. His coworker says they know the perfect nanny and he’s sold . Nanny Shea, Hailey is everything and more and his daughter does adore her . She is good at her job and beautiful to boot even cute but she’s employed by Declan so it’s hands off which he finds a bit rough ,tough even when you consider that she’s eleven years his junior…Oo’er ….They get on really well with late night conversations and all and Declan ,he wants it all but how can he spoil what his daughter has for a bite of her ass? This is so fine and dreamily! In fact it’s divine reading . I had a good time and the writing is sublime, just what I was needing . To find out that there’s more in the Bridge Point Bears Baseball series certainly does please and teases my sense because this book fed all my senses and more . I did so adore . The writing is compelling as all heck with flowing storytelling and characters relatable and cute. For this book’s characters there’s no substitute when these are portrayed so well A.R.Rose with heart and humour and heart from the start.

Declan was happy being head coach for The Bears. His life maybe hectic between baseball and caring for his three year old daughter, as a single dad it wasn't easy. When his nanny decides she's had enough of his bad time keeping and walks away he knows he needs better help. When a friends recommends a woman who's studying a young child teaching diploma he takes a chance employing her. Hailey enjoyed doing her diploma online instead of attending university everyday, it gave her a chance to earn money as well as learning at the same time. Now getting a job as a nanny for a gorgeous little girl called Sailor was just perfect, except her dad was also so damn handsome in a moody older man way. Can she keep her attraction to herself. Where was Sailors mom. Will Declan be interested in a curvy woman like her. Would she be interested in the age difference between them. Can he blur the lines without risking her leaving. This is a sweet but steamy story with both characters worried about the consequences of crossing lines that can't be undone. But sometimes unless you take a risk you may lose the best thing. Will a face from the past risk any chance of romance. I've never read this author before but will be reading the next in this series when available.

Hailey & Declan's story is adorable!
I devoured this book in a hurry! Single dad Declan seems to be in a bind when his nanny quits suddenly & is in need of a replacement ASAP! Tough as he's the Bears head coach & has a chaotic schedule. By chance (or good luck) during a meeting with management, Hailey is recommended as she is currently finishing her degree in early child education. A quick phone call leads to a meeting the following day & she's hired to care for his 3 year old daughter. Months pass, and Declan struggles with his attraction to his daughter's nanny as the season ramps up as do Hailey's feelings for Declan. Thanks to a mistake on the hotel's part, we find the two forced to share a bed the night before the season opener! More events follow these two, causing viral videos & the unexpected return of Declan's ex, claiming to wanting to be a mother after talking out on them years ago! Tension runs high & insecurities threaten what Declan wants not only for himself but for his daughter as well. With a grand gesture at their 1st home game, Declan hits a home run, keeping the family he's found with Hailey! Loved the reference to another book that added some heat to a bathroom convo 😉 Loved it and definitely recommend any & everyone read it!

[Stephanie Ditmore · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow! I loved Declan and Hailey. When Declan needed a nanny quick, Hailey came highly recommended. What neither of them expected was the pull between them teetering on the edge of do we or don’t we? Declan’s little girl Sailor took to Hailey and they hit it off, it really wasn’t a job because she truly adored Sailor. With the crazy schedule of the baseball team, trying to juggle family life has been hard, but now with Hailey there everything seems seamless, the talks, the laughing, the blushing and oh the word appreciation she had no idea she craved,, especially when he told her she was a good girl. My word to have a man like that, I don’t think I’d be able to make it through the day without a little PDA. Sailor’s mother decided early on that her career was more important than her child and when she shows up out of the blue wanting back in,, there is no way Declan will let that happen, he will not let her come between him and the woman he loves. She was everything he didn’t know he needed. This story was amazing and I can’t wait for the next book. No spoilers here, this is a definite must read for the summer of 2025!

[Keri · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stealing Forever is one of the funniest, steamiest, and sweetest sports-centered rom-coms I've ever read. This heartwarming story features an admirably caring, hardworking, and loyal single dad and head coach (Declan); his adorable little girl (Sailor); a beautiful, emotionally intelligent, and kindhearted young woman and nanny (Hailey); several realistically awkward, embarrassing, and less-than-ideal situations; hilarious double entendres; witty banter; sizzling chemistry; intimate moments; a little bit of angst and drama; and lots of baseball references (Go Bears!).

While I do wish the book were a little longer because it's almost an instalove romance and I prefer torturous slow burn stories that take many books to tell, Stealing Forever is still a cute, fun, mostly lighthearted, and well-written romance with lovable, relatable characters and an entertaining plot that leads to a well-deserved HEA. I look forward to reading the second book in this series and learning more about not only the secondary characters but also the mystery A.R. Rose left us with near the end of this one.

[Erin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an absolutely adorable, sweet and spicy romance that had me in its grips right from the start and I could not put it down for one moment.

Hailey and Declan instantly had me falling hopelessly in love with their adorableness. They both had me giggling over their inner dialogue, the laughs they shared and all of the crazy awkward moments. I was also swooning over Declan’s sweetness with Hailey and his ability to instantly recognize the things that she likes and make sure she’s taken care of no matter what.

The connection between these two was instant. You could feel the sparks flying even when they both tried to hard to deny it – for a bit. But the sexual tension and the desire to give in was absolutely electrifying and I couldn’t wait for that first moment where they succumbed to the temptation of one another. SO HOT!

The banter was perfect, the smut was sizzling hot and the storyline was just so relatable and natural that I felt like I was watching these two fall in love in real time. Definitely a story that kept me kicking my feet with the giggles over how amazing it was.

I loved it and can’t wait for more of this new series.

The tropes list instantly had me adding this to my TBR so when I got my hands on this early I squealed! LITERALLY SUCH A GOOD READ!

The Nanny X Baseball Coach/Single Dad was unbelievable, I was totally drooling over this dynamic! #addittothelist hahahah

I love how there was an instant connection and it wasn’t a slow burn romance because the fast pace in the writing really elevates the dramatic twists and keeps you on the edge of your seat. There was the obvious “I don’t wanna be a homewrecker” vibe from Hailey towards the end of this read but that quickly gets fixed when hero Declan swoops in with dreamy eyes and hypnotizing words.

Sailor’s character was such a fun addition to this, I know this is an obvious Nanny read but having her character included so often was so adorable and lowkey gave me baby fever…iykyk lol

Also that “Favorites” groupchat is something I dream of being included on, pleaseeeee A.R Rose😅💞✨

Y’all… this book? Top read of the year. Period. 🔥💖

Declan is the literal definition of a swoony single dad—coaching, parenting, and making me fall in love with him in every chapter. And Sailor?? The cutest three-year-old on the planet. She totally steals the show.

Enter Hailey, the new nanny finishing her master’s in education, who fits into their lives like she was always meant to be there. Cue the slow-burn tension that had me screaming “KISS HER, DECLAN!” every other page. And when it finally happens? Oh, you mean the viral, public, heart-stopping kiss of my dreams? Yeah… I’m still unwell. 😭💋

This book gave me:
👨‍👧 Single dad swoons for DAYS
💌 Forbidden nanny romance energy
🏨 Forced proximity hotel mix-up (my weakness)
💔 Emotional drama & a little chaos (thanks, Hurricane Addison)
🔥 Chemistry so good you’ll need to fan yourself

From the first page to the last, I was kicking my feet, laughing, and clutching my heart. The sisterhood, the guy friends, the team energy—it’s all so warm and full of life. And that ending? Pure serotonin.

Basically, if you love emotional, flirty, family-centered romances that leave you a little wrecked (in the best way), this book is your next obsession. I’m officially in my book slump era because NOTHING will top this right now. 🖤

Is there a Genre that A.R can’t do? I swear she never missed with her books, THEY ARE ALL SO GOOD!! Also, Who doesn’t love a hot single dad and nanny romance?? I know I ATE this up!!

Declan is the single dad to the sweetest little girl Sailor and watching how much he loved his little girl was soo precious!!
Hailey is the new nanny and Sailor and her have a bond that was so cute and strong from the beginning!


Declan tried fighting his attraction to Hailey but when he finally gave in even a little bit was it HOTTTT!! I loved how A.R incorporated spicy books into the story!! (you will have to read to find out what I’m talking about! Trust me you won’t want to miss it 🥵)


This story was so well written it flowed so good and Declan and Hailey’s story was adorable! And watching how Declan always made his feeling for Hailey known no matter what or who was watching!! (SWOON)

Declan, the coach for the Bears and a single dad just had his nanny quit on him. Hailey is recommended to him and he ends up hiring her. The issue? Hailey is exactly Declan’s type but he has to put his attraction aside for the benefit of his three year old daughter, Sailor. Hailey is just as attracted to Declan but when she saw a picture of Addison, Sailor’s mom she came to assume that he would never be attracted to someone like her. Addison is petite and a brunette and Hailey is a curvy red head. Their chemistry is palpable. She’s so easily flustered by him and he finds himself thinking of her often. This books has it all.

If you are thinking about picking up a baseball romance, you need to run and grab this one right now. It made me laugh, it made me snort, it made me side eye my kindle like I could glare at a character from the book. And that’s all without the spicy scenes 🥵 I absolutely adored everything about this book. I honestly love that this series started off with the coach of the baseball team, and I’m already trying to pair some of the players up in my mind with characters that were introduced. I’m all in on this series, and can’t wait to read the next one when it comes out!

Declan didn’t count on his nanny quitting before the season even started, but he knew becoming head coach of a baseball team would be difficult as a single dad. When he brought his daughter to a meeting with the team executives the next day, he didn’t expect one of them to have a lead on a new nanny for him. But she is perfect. Too perfect. She not only ticks all the boxes he needs for a nanny, but ones he has for a partner too. But he can control himself. He’s not going to become a stereotype. Besides, she’s way too young for him.

Single dad Declan a head coach of the Bridge Point Bears baseball team and his adorable is 3 year old daughter Sailor is the cutest. He has yet another nanny quit on him because of his hours and his boss helps with a replacement. His new tenant Hailey. She has a twin named Hartley and their conversations together are epic! Couldn’t stop laughing at the back and forth.
You could literally feel the tension between Declan and Hailey reading this book. After the team BBQ we get Hailey and Hartley again. I can’t this is fantastic “Well, it started with dropping a couple of forks and ended with five stitches.”
Like WOW just this blurb alone would make me read this book. It’s was absolutely fantastic. Hoping for a Hartley book next!! Thank you to A.R. Rose for releasing this book. Absolutely loved it.

I don’t know how AR Rose always does it… but I start a book of hers and I’m immediately sucked in. Do I like baseball? Not particularly. Is this potentially going to be one of my favorite series even though only one book is out? Absolutely! Declan is a dream and Hailey is his perfect fiery match. He’s a single dad to the sweetest 3 year old, desperate for a reliable nanny. Hailey takes on the nanny position and immediately falls in love with taking care of Sailor. The two try to fight their feelings, and it’s definitely fun to watch it unfold. Also, Declan’s “accidental” friends are great and I’m hoping we see more of Hailey’s twin.

I love the way AR Rose intertwines characters from other books/series without you really having to read the others for it to make sense. I can’t wait for the rest of these books already!

[Kate · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story had a good balance of romance, character growth and steam. Hailey is helping her ill mother and struggling financially. She has a degree, chooses to work as a nanny and loves the children in her care. Hailey may not have all the answers to life or love, but she is open to trying to figure stuff out. Declan is a baseball star, and the single dad of a cute little girl. The last thing he wants in his life or his daughter’s life is the instability of a new relationship – particularly with the cheerful, competent nanny who brings happiness and glitter into his home. I loved the well-written dual points of view in this story, and how the characters get through various obstacles. This was an enjoyable romantic story with a nicely satisfying HEA. Recommended!
