This is my honest and voluntary review of this ARC.
A cocky, arrogant, manwhore football player.....sums up Brady Thomas to the fullest. Brady has the nerve to be stunned when his now former agent shows up, tells him that his contract he just signed is null and void because of last nights little shenanigan involving a member of royalty. Too much booze and partying, and definitely too many women, he can't remember their names or faces from one moment to the next. The next words coming out of his now former agents mouth is who Brady has been traded to, and the new contract with the moral clause that is valid for one year. Negotiations will be made after that time. Brady is angry and worse yet begging for this to be fixed, and the realization that this is happening all because he just wants to have fun.
A young girl who watched her sister die after giving birth to Liam, taking care of Liam as his mother and raising him, twenty-four year old Isabella (known as Izzie) has never lived for herself. She now has a job as the San Antonio football's team dietician. The job of a life time for her. She is so excited until that bubble was burst within the first day on the job. HE would be joining the team. Izzie promised her sister never to tell the father of his son Liam, and Izzie has kept that promise. Run of bad luck has her seeking his assistance, and secrets have ways of being found out.
Not even trying to care, Brady makes his debut in San Antonio on the wrong foot. The coach and the manager set him straight from the start. They are not interested in his excuses or the lifestyle he wants to live. So to set that ball into motion, Brady is told to go see Izzie for his diet plan, then going over rules and regulations, guidelines, his contract, and everything else that is now on his shoulders as this team's quarterback. Izzie is nervous when he enters her office, but little by little she is able to calm herself down, to get her job done and done right. Brady tries and tries to get on her good side. There is a clause in his current contract that this is off-limits, but he tries anyways....after all this is Brady Thomas.
A termite infestation at her house sends Liam and Izzie looking for a place to stay while the exterminator gets to work. The hotels that are affordable are way less than reputable, the only option is to take Brady up on his offer to stay at his place. It is only supposed to be a week, how bad can this really be. While that week passes, Izzie and Liam and Brady form a tight bond....a bond that is prohibited with the contract. So it is done without anyone knowing. A miscommunication on the part of the exterminator reveals the time Izzie and Liam staying with Brady has increased by a few weeks. As the days they are staying in the house together, a family is being formed.
It takes an old Sports magazine for Izzie to realize all of her hopes and thoughts about Brady and the family are never going to happen. But before her dreams are completely dashed, she has given up her V-card to Brady. It wasn't supposed to happen, the time together, the feelings forming - from either of them. But it happened. One reporter spots the insta-family going into Liam's school together and poses some interesting questions, not only to the readers and fans, but to Brady. Questions asked, the truth revealed, anger and a blow out happens. Liam ad Izzie are leaving, emotions on high. Brady is still upset, but things start replaying in his head. Izzie isn't using him like all the others, she never asked for anything from him. In fact she gave him everything without expecting a thing in return. She supported him and trusted him when no one else did. The truth, yes it hurt to find out he missed so much time with Liam, but there is still time to correct that and really follow his heart.
A phone call, a surprise winning of Super Bowl tickets, then gifts show up during each quarter, and the the surprise after the win Brady helps lead his team to are all a part of a well played plan. One more question is asked of Izzie from Brady, only this time without hurt feelings and with everyone watching and hearing what he asks. It is a turn in the direction of more happiness, more surprises and a very happy ending.

Brady is a big shot football star but because of all the media scandals he has its gotten him traded. He is now thin ice because with this new team he has a very tight morality clause so he has to change his ways. Izzie is the team nutritionist and has a history with Brady that even he is unaware of. When Brady sees Izzie for the first time he knows he has to have her yet he has been warned by everyone including the coach that she is off limits. He can't get her out of his mind especially since she seems so familiar to him. When Izzie learns that her home is infested with termites she has to relocate herself and her nephew Liam for almost a month while its being taken care of she panics. Brady comes in to see her and offers her a solution to her problem for them to live with him. When they all start living together things quickly change between them and neither knows what to do. Will they get caught and lose their jobs? What will Brady do when he learns Izzie's secret?
This was an amazing story once I started I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between Brady and Izzie is electrifyingly hot. This is an entertaining and well written story. I would recommend this to anyone that loves to lose themselves in a great story.

A sweet, passion-filled sports romance- this heart-squeezing tale revolves around Brady the playboy out of control quarterback and Izzie the nutritionist and taker on of all things big and small. When Brady abruptly moves to a new town, and a new team, he finds himself with a new set of rules including the brand new nutritionist Isabella ( Izzie .) Not being able to fraternize with the staff, he cannot help but be drawn to the woman who doesn't want anything to do with him. Circumstances put them in close quarters; when the bond they've formed is too much for it just to be friends- will the secrets she has kept hidden break that bond? Or will he show her that he is a changed man? Emotionally charged with a side of frustration! Thats my feelings throughout! Gah! The back and forth, watching the " fumbles" when there were perfect openings to get things off their chests UGH! HAHA, I loved every minute of it- even if was close to high BP stage! Witty with, some hot times, this one was a hard book to put down!
The story's details and information (or lack thereof) about the characters were confusing, mostly due to huge gaps in the details provided. For example, Brady tells Izzy and reporters he "grew up as an orphan with four brothers and sisters," yet not a one of them are in his current life. Did they all die? Disavow one another? Split apart as children? All we know is one minute he leaves "Lucy, the love of his life" for the NFL, but no further mention is made about his siblings who he'd been raising. Another confusing fact - Izzy goes from not knowing how she won s Super Bowl extravaganza package to stating how happy she was that Brady had gone through so much trouble for Liam so he'd get to see his dad play in the Super Bowl. Finally, throughout the book, I was waiting for the title to make sense, but Mothers Day is mentioned AT THE END OF THE STORY! Very strange book that seemed to have many well done scenes between Izzie, Brady and Liam. All that would be needed are the missing deets! One and a half stars.
A Daddy for Mother's Day: A Secret Baby Romance By:Natalie Knight is Brady & Izzie's story. Brady is a star quarterback and after yet another scandal, gets traded and ends up back in his hometown. Izzie is taking care of her nephew after her sister died and is the new dietitian for the same team that Brady was traded to. Izzie’s nephew happens to be Brady’s son, one that he isn’t even aware of. Izzie doesn’t have plans to get involved with the man who hurt her sister. Oh but the chemistry between Brady and Izzie is immediate. The sparks fly, and the reader is quickly drawn into the lives of the H/h story. I loved the sassy character of Izzie and the proud character of Brady. I loved watching them come together with Izzie’s nephew/Brady’s son and become a family even though the start was so rough.
My Rating: 4.5 stars ***** “I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."
The duo of Natalie and Daphne have once again written an entertaining and captivating story. Isabelle who is raising Liam, her sister's son has just landed her dream job as nutritionist for the NFL. As Isabelle's sister was dying, Isabelle promised her she would not reveal the identity of Liam's father. Brady the talented, arrogant, playboy, quarterback has been traded to the team Isabelle works for. He doesn't know the secret Isabelle is keeping from him. Upon meeting the chemistry between Brady and Isabelle is explosive and undeniable. Despite her feelings Isabelle has no intentions of having a relationship with Brady but he is still intent on pursuing her. “A Daddy for Mother's Day” is a pleasure to read with its drama, surprises, electrifying passion, twists and turns, and romance. This book is worth your time. A must read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Isabella "Izzie" Williams and Brady Thomas. Brady knows years back he met the woman that was meant for him. However things got in the way and he walked away from his woman and his son. Now he is back and he will do anything he has to, to win her back. Izzie isn't that same girl he left behind. She had fought for what she now has and she won't let him take that away. However one look and she knows that their is a chance that she could fall for his charms again. Can they have a HEA this time or will the sins of the past be just to much to overcome?
This is an amazing story. It has it's ups and downs that I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin it for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
No this was an emotional one from Natalie Knight and Daphne Dawn. Not so much in your face sex and uproariously funny scenes but more the gradual falling in love with hurdles and fear. There are some really big secrets in this book that are just a ticking time bomb. And when the timer goes off, things get a little hairy for a bit. I loved the connection and passion that could be felt through the pages amd the HEA was beautiful!! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book. Hero, Brady = 5/5 Heroine, Izzie = 5/5 Chemistry = 5/5 Sex = 5/5 Plot = 5/5 Mystery = 3/5 Action = 1/5 Darkness = 2/5 Humor = 3/5 POV = dual Would I recommend this book = yes Would I re-read this book = yes Would I read future books by this author = yes
Loved this twist on the secret baby romance! Izzie has had a crush on Brady since she was young. He is the smoking ex NFL star ex-boyfriend of her sister who passed away after the birth of her son. Izzie is trying to keep her new job and her life with Liam going. Brady hasn't seen his sister in years, and is shocked to learn of her death. He is attracted to Izzie at work, but doesn't want to mess with his morality clause. They are attracted to teach other, but Izzie is afraid Brady will want to take him away, but will she let him in? What happens when the attraction that has laid dormant for years comes back full force? What you get is a fast paced, emotional tale full loss, pain, passion and love. Just click it now!!
I usually love Daphne Dawn and Natalie Knight's stories but this just did not work for me. The supposed hero, Brady, was a womanising whore and didn't care about anyone but himself and he needs to grow up. Liam is a lovely young boy and Izzie is to be congratulated for bringing him up without any help and on their own since she was 16 years old. I didn't see any romance between Brady and Izzie as she just seemed to be something that had been refused to him and so he sought after it as he was so immature. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. As I love Daphne and Natalie's stories normally, I will be looking forward to their next story.
The story was okay. the relationship between Izzy and Brady could have been really interesting but the author's writing was a bit weak. She drops a lot of threads there are some parts of the book and which Brady seems to know that Liam is her nephew then later in the book he shocked when he finds out that it's your nephew there is also a line where he cause her doctor which she is not a doctor's not old enough to have gone to enough school to be a doctor so these are not necessarily huge pieces but it just speaks to the sloppiness of the story which made it not as enjoyable as it could have been. I think the author has a lot of potential and hopefully experience will improve what are decent writing skills.
Just crazy that I loved this book. Not that I did not think I would not like it, but usually not my type of romance book. But this was very well written, and I literally sat and read it in almost a day. The beautiful and strong Izzie has been raising her nephew as her son since her big sister died two weeks after his birth. Izzie was only 16, and had already lost their parents. A promise to her sister to never tell the father is harder to keep when 8 years later Izzie gets her dream job as a nutritionist for a major league football team that none other than Brady is the star player. He did not know her sister was pregnant when he left to follow his dreams. Izzie sees him every day and Brady is taken with her like no other. Wonderful story with the perfect HEA
Brady is a star quarterback and after yet another scandal he is traded and ends up back in his hometown. Izzie is taking care of her nephew after her sister died and is now the new dietitian for the same team as Brady. Izzie’s nephew just happens to be Brady’s son and no matter how much he wants her, so has no plans getting involved with the man who hurt her sister. When sparks fly between Brady and Izzie will she be able to keep the promises she made to her sister and what will happen if Brady finds out Liam is his. Fast-paced emotional read with loads of drama and suspense. I found the story entertaining and liked the characters. A Good Read.
Brady was a star quarterback now he's back in town and Izzie is working for the team he plays for as a dietitian she is also raising her young nephew whom is the son Brady never knew about. Izzie knows she should not go for Brady not the way he hurt her sister so she wants to continue to keep the secret of his son away from him. But Brady is persistent and he wants her and nothing will keep him away. Will these three get their HEA there are so many secrets and some misunderstandings. I voluntarily received an arc copy through Booksprout for my honest review.
Likeable characters that are well described. I like it is written in dual POV, which gives the reader both the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. That makes the story even more emotional and captivating. The twists and turns are unexpected.
Characters develop nicely through the story. Great chemistry and passion. A story about opening up and learning to accept what fate throws at you. Taking other people into your heart and show your feelings. Secrets, feelings, love, romance and twists makes this story an enjoyable read.
This is sweet, sexy, romantic and captivating. Brady is cocky, charming, kind and entertaining. Izzie is strong, independent, loyal and stubborn. After raising the son Brady knows nothing about for 8 years, Izzie ends up moving in with him temporarily. While she falls for him, and fights her sisters last wish, Brady falls the child he doesn't know is his. It's a sweetly heartbreaking story with a very exciting and satisfying outcome. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Booksprout. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
I really liked the story line but sometimes it would get a bit confusing. For example. When it was Brady's point of view he would be thinking about how Izzie's nephew was such a great kid & a few chapters later he finds out that Liam isn't really Izzie's son that he was her nephew like he was surprised by this info when he was just thinking it a few chapters earlier. There was multiple mistakes like that in the book that were a bit confusing. But I did enjoy the book & was able to just overlook the mistakes.
Hard working Izzie. I applaud her for her strength, her dedicated and her unconditional love for Liam. Brady, oh Brady. He is a cocky hot mess and needed to be brought down a few pegs.
She fights tooth and nail and he just won't back down. Things got a little weird towards the end, I had to reread a few parts cause they didn't match up. I enjoyed this book most definitely.

I haven’t read much by these two authors so I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book. Boy was I happily surprised!
This book was amazing! I loved every second of reading it and didn’t want to put it down. Brady and Izzie have a complicated history to say the least, although Brady is unaware of it.
I don’t want to give anything else away so you’ll just have to read it for yourself. Can’t wait to read more from these two authors.
