**A Sports Pregnancy Romance**

One night can change everything...


Losing the Big “V” was nothing Emily regretted; it was long overdue and this guy had it all. If only she remembered to get his name….

If only she remembered that one time is all it takes...

No going back though, first she needs to find out who he is, after that she can figure out how he wants to fit into her life.

Meanwhile, Aiden Beckett can’t get his last score out of his head. The last girl got to him in a way that all the others hadn’t. It’s starting to affect his game…

If only he would’ve broken his rule and given her his number...

But she must know who he is….Right? Doesn’t everyone?

28 year old virgin Emily sleeps with manwhore hockey player Aiden, sneaking out whilst he's sleeping. Fast forward 2 months and she finds out she's pregant.

Aiden was a disgusting piece of shit manwhore. After sleeping with her the first time, he's pining for her and trying to find but shagging everyone with a pulse at the time. When he does meet her again and he find out she's pregnant, he shags her too, but of course he doesn't stop banging every woman he sees though. Then next minute, he's bought a house and has been in love with her for a while. WTF?!?!

Emily is somehow a 28 year old virgin who has had lots of boyfriends apparently. I don't understand why authors these days make all their heroines virgins and their heroes disgusting manwhores. That is not attractive or romantic!!

Of course she asks him if he's banging everyone he sees and he says yes but she's still okay to sleep with him. If that's acceptable to her then she deserves a douche bag like him. Pretty sure the next book would be their divorce due to his serial cheating.

How about a strong woman who has a healtjy normal sex life and doesn't allow herself to be cheated on and treated like crap for once! That would be something I would read! Women like this are terrible role models for readers, making out it's okay to let men treat us like crap.

The "hero" was skeevy. He has a one night stand and really likes the girl but doesn't get her name so he moves on by continuing to have lots of one nighters, okay understandable, I guess. She tracks him down to tell him she's pregnant. He's surprised and anxious but kinda happy. They start dating to see where it goes for them relationship wise, but he keeps sleeping around also, and she accepts it. Gross. The he decides yes, he loves her and has been in love with her all along. HEA, right, I doubt it, I can almost guarantee that he won't stop sleeping around and she'll accept it right up till he knocks up another woman.

I'm sorry but no! She's a pushover and he's an egotistical a**! Trying for a relationship while he still sleeps around? She doesn't want to push him and accepts it, while still sleeping with him? 🤔I get, that she's dreaming of a hea and white picket fence... That doesn't mean, she has to take everything, until he comes around.
And boy, does he come around. With a house and the confession, that he loved her for a while now. 🙄
If, by sleeping around, is showing his love, I don't want to know, what he does, when the loves gone...

Not my kind of relationship ❤️🏒💙

I don’t really enjoy reading books where one of the MC are with other people once they get together. Aiden admits he’s in love with Emily while sleeping around? How do you ever trust a man like that. Emily gave Aiden too much grace.

Despite the circumstances, he was not a man I liked, and she did not earn my respect. Many grammatical errors as well. I like this trope, but did not enjoy this book.

Good short read. Story of a virgin losing her virginity on a one stand. Sparks fly at a fundraiser between Emily and Aiden, but don't get each others name. Can they find each other? Will they realize its love? The only part is I didn't like is when he said he was still having sex with other girls, and Emily accepted that part of him.

Surprise baby romance

Emily has her first one night stand that doesn't end after that night. She gets a surprise six weeks later. Aiden is a playboy hockey player. The book is light on the sports action and focuses more on the romance. I enjoyed their story and would read more from this author.

Great story!

I loved the change in Aiden almost immediately. The love displayed even though I felt he was fighting it. Emily was just amazing. If I had one wish - it would be for a longer book exploring all the thoughts that brought Aiden to the realization of his love for Emily. Great read!!!!

This book has a good storyline with a nice flow which makes it an easy read. The characters were interesting, entertaining, very enjoyable and easy to relate to plus very likable. They had good chemistry which made the story believable. This is a quick fun read.

Disappointed

This story had so much potential but because of the shortness of the book, it left me disappointed.
I wish I had known it was part of a three part book, I probably wouldn't have started it.
I was really wishing the author had written a full story.

De ja vu

When I started reading this book I had a really strong feeling of de ja vu. The story line was so familiar that I knew what was going to happen before reading the next passage. The characters were familiar as well. With that being said, I did enjoy reading this book.

Just ok.

I was ok with the story for the most part. It was cute though a little frustrating. The female main character was a little too accepting. The male main character took too long to put his head on right.

Monotonous

Oh wow this book was over at 30% though. Didn't carry on to see what followed as the first 30% was boring enough.

Super awesome !!! I loved this book to bits could not put it down from the 1st page to the last, definitely a must read, for a moment there I forgot I was reading a romance more like a suspense romance novel haha I wanted to just climb into the book and smack Aiden on his head to catch a wake-up damn man are you blind, ignorant or just plain dumb, can't you see Emily is hopelessly in love with you, and she does want you in her life permanently, get a move on or you gonna loose her man. Thank you Robin Edwards for yet another suspenseful nail-biting romance that captures the reader like a good book should, go on all and get your copy right away, Next please soon I hope ?? For those of you that want to buy on Amazon please note that this book has been renamed on Amazon to Penalized by Robin Edwards.

I received this book free as an ARC for my honest review.
Emily loses her v-card on a one night stand, and a few weeks later she finds out she is pregnant. Aiden is a pro-hockey player, a billionaire in his own right and a player. He can’t get Emily out of his head. He is wanting to track her down. Emily decides to try to find her one night stand to tell him he is going to be a father. When she tracks him down, he is excited to see her but has doubts he will be a good father. She does want a relationship with him but not because of the baby. Can he Aiden change his player ways? Can Emily and Aiden have their happy ever after?
