Fay is angry with herself and leaves right away. Three months go by and Sawyer still is thinking about Fay and wants to see her again. Fay is pregnant and wants to keep it from Sawyer, only her doctor works in the same hospital. Fay wants to keep hating Sawyer, but their paths keep passing. I liked this story. I really liked Fay, i liked she didn't fall all over Sawyer and i did think he was a jerk. Sawyer seemed to grow up a little and he took a look at his behavior. I thin Fay and Sawyer were great together and i think Fay was good for Sawyer's ego.
Daddy Ivy League- This is the second chance romance between Margo and Isaac. Margo was a loner in college, but she had a huge crush on Isaac and wishes he noticed her. One night at a party, Margo saw Isaac and made a scene and ran off. Twelve years later, Margo was a political reporter who was stationed in South Africa until she was caught having an affair with the politician she was supposed to be covering. Margo returned home and managed to keep her job at the Boston Herald, but was demoted and was now supposed to report on unimportant issues. Margo was supposed to do a story about the popular professors at Harvard. Isaac is now a professor and is known as a playboy. When he sees Margo, he is interested in her and when she tells him about the interview, he thinks it will give him a chance with her.

Isaac was determined and wanted to find a way to be with her. Isaac found himself thinking about Margo and thinking about a relationship and settling down, when she disappears. I liked this book, i really liked Isaac. i think he finally matured and realized being in a relationship was not a bad thing. Margo had to do what she thought would be best for her happiness.
Daddy C.E.O.- This is the second chance romance between Piper and Cliff. They dated when they were finishing high school until Cliff broke up with Piper without an explanation.

He wanted to see the chef to complain and Piper came out and was shocked to see Cliff. Cliff wanted to talk to Piper and catch up, but she wouldn't talk to him. Cliff returned to the restaurant and continued to try and talk to Piper until she agreed to see him. Cliff knew he couldn't tell Piper the real reason he broke up with her and knew she wouldn't come back to him until he did. Piper still had feelings for Cliff and was confused how to handle them. When Piper gave into her desires with Cliff, she made it harder to break free of him and get over her broken heart. Cliff wanted her back and tried everything to win her over. I liked this story. I think Cliff really loved Piper and he wanted to be with her. I think if things had been different then, they would have still been together and been happy.
Daddy Player- This is the story of Beth and Vince. They met in Miami and had a one night stand. Vince was a pro football player and the last of his friends that was single.

When they continued to see each other for work, they both still wanted the other. When it got to be too much for Beth, she returned to New York leaving Vince wondering why. I liked this book. I liked Vince and he really wanted to find the happiness his friends found. Beth was hurt in the past and she was scared, but i think she really cared for Vince.
This was a really good box set and i liked reading them together.
Below is a review of Book 2 of this 4-book collection to give you a sample of the wonderful books you can expect to find here!
*** Reviewing DADDY IVY LEAGUE *** Because Margo Clarke’s parents always insisted that grades mattered most and boys would ruin her life, she didn’t have much experience and was too shy to speak to any guys in college! However, like every other female around her, this did not stop her from longing for the popular Isaac Parnell. He was smart, read all kinds of classics, had an amazing vocabulary, and was very confident. So being curious about how he acted in a social setting, Margo decided to attend her first dorm party where she knew he would be. When he finally arrived, he was swamped with cheerleader-type females hanging all over him. Margo just stood quietly in the corner, drinking punch and feeling sick. Finally she could not take anymore and loudly screamed ‘shut up’ over and over until everyone was staring. Isaac walked over to her and asked if she meant him – and she bolted past him and ran out the door. She never spoke to him again.
Professor Isaac Parnell woke up to the alarm, still hungover and due to class in 20 minutes! His latest girlfriend did everything in her power to make him stay, insisting his students could get along without him. He kept trying to get her to leave, but she pointed out that as of last week’s graduation, she wasn’t his student anymore so they were okay together. Seeing he was serious, she was getting angry. Apparently sleeping with his ex-students was a bad habit he needed to correct! She could start rumors or ruin his reputation as a well-known Harvard Professor! His career could be on the line!
Margo was walking back inside the Boston Herald after being asked to return from her two years in South Africa on assignment. She had been the Boston Herald’s official political correspondent for South Africa and adjoining African countries. But she had messed up. She had enjoyed a relationship with a high-profile politician, which put her in the middle of a scandal. She never intended it to last – it was just for fun -- but she got caught before they broke it off. Her Editor said he would offer her a job, but now it would be in Boston under his watchful gaze. She would be doing “fluff” pieces and boring celebrity events. But if she left, no other paper would hire her. She would have to just ride this one out.
Isaac was finishing his last class of the day when the door in the back opened and closed. A redhead entered and moved along the back to find a seat. She didn’t look like a student, but he wasn’t good with remembering faces. However, she was confident and self-assured, older than the typical student. When class ended and the students swarmed him with questions and invitations for a drink, he noticed the redhead still seated in the back and grinning at him. When the students left, she walked up to him. He was attracted to her and tried some mild flirting, which she deflected. She asked instead to interview him for her article. He wanted to see her again and have more time with her, so he suggested coffee the next day. She finally told him that she had attended the same college as he had, and it was understandable that he would have forgotten her.
Margo was late getting to the café, not wanting to be here writing a human interest story on popular Harvard professors. She was glad he didn’t remember her. He made her feel like that shy, nerdy girl again. But when he started to talk, he told her what he remembered – all of it. Why was he flirting with her now after all those years, she wondered? And he couldn’t figure out why his charm was having absolutely no effect on her! Rather than give up, he invited her to his home where he would make dinner for them, and he could try even harder to attract her. Is he really interested, or just trying to keep his charismatic reputation intact? Could they be heading for an even more problematic situation?
This was an interesting story line. I was cheering for Margo to keep things professional with Isaac and not repeat her career-damaging mistake. I also noted that Isaac hadn’t evolved much further than his female heart-throb college persona, and needed a lesson in humility. But it struck me that the author reminded us how meeting up with someone who meant so much can thrust us back into how we felt back then. That can be so true, and I knew it would be difficult for Margo to resist as her dream edged closer to a possibility now. Grab your copy and see how this turns out for each of them. Both have much to lose… but maybe even more to win? And you have 3 more excellent books still to read in this collection! Enjoy!
========== Daddy Heart M.D. 4 stars ========== This book is all heart
Fay, a producer for a talk show, meets Sawyer, a cardiologist, when he comes on the show. As the story progresses sparks fly and their choices lead to regrets.

I received a free copy of the book from the author via Booksprout. I had the opportunity to review or not.
Daddy Player: When Beth Thomas went to Miami for a weekend with her 2 best friends, she never thought she would have a one night stand with NFL quarterback and known player, Vince Woods. She was even more surprised when 2 weeks later he boss told her she was going to be his new social media campaign manager. Vince hasn't been able to get Beth off his mind since that one unforgettable night. When his agent told him they hired someone to work on his social media campaign he was not happy until he learned it was Beth. This is a well written book that I enjoyed reading. The characters great chemistry and very likable.
Daddy CEO: What a good read. I was hooked from the start and couldn't put it down. It is a 2nd chance romance with likable characters and good story line. I loved it.
Daddy Ivy League: Margo was a total nerd. All through her childhood and high school her parents told her boys were no good. She a avoided them to the point that when she was in college she didn't know how to interact and got all tongue tied when a boy was around. She was in love with Isaac Parnell along with every other girl. Her one chance to talk to him she ran away. 12 years later, she has changed and come into her own. She is beautiful and confident. Working as a journalist for a popular magazine company over seas as an official correspondent to South Africa's Prime Minister she made a huge mistake and got caught sleeping with him. Sent home in disgrace she was demoted to doing small articles at home. She is sent to Harvard to interview some professors, Isaac being the main focus. This is a quick read that I enjoyed reading.

These Private School bad boys will leave you hunkering for more
DADDY HEART M.D
For a doctor I was so disappointed with Sawyer for not doing his due diligence as you would think a man in his position would never throw caution to the wind like that.
I like Faye keeping strong with her very intense views and trying to fight her feelings.
The conversation between Sawyer and Isaac in the pub was hilarious “If I was getting the jitters from a woman, how long before he got them too?” Seriously who thinks like that?
DADDY IVY LEAGUE
An interesting read of love from afar, college hormones and how professionalism can be tested in the most bizarre ways.
I guess we have all experienced in our lifetime the one that got away, lucky for Margo at the lowest point in her career she finds herself back in his life. This goes to show that if it was meant to be it will be.
DADDY CEO
One thing that I liked about this one is that it teaches you a lesson, you will never hear anything good about yourself when you eavesdrop, and Cliff learnt it the hard way, but kudos to him for keeping it all to himself and not try to bring a rift in the family.
Second chance love never seems to get old and in this case you will be routing for Piper to come to her senses and give Cliff the benefit of doubt.
DADDY PLAYER
The final lad in the clique finally succumbs to true love.
Was great to read about Vince’s story as he was the enigma, I loved Beth’s character and appreciated her conviction to try and lead an independent life rather than having to settle for rejection. Was impressed with the level at which Vince showed us his vulnerability.

I have previously reviewed copies of this book. I thoroughly enjoyed each story I've read.
Daddy player This is a wonderful story, it's well-written and quick to read. Vince had an immediate pull and connection to Beth from the first time he sees her, can he show her he's not the player he is made out to be and can he push through Beth's walls to have a future with her.
Daddy CEO This is a well-written and quick to read, has likable characters that have never gotten over each other even though they parted ten years ago on bad terms. Now they have reunited and still have to deal with their past breakup as well as new dramas in their midst.
Daddy Heart I really enjoyed this fast paced quick read, with wonderful likable characters and a sweet plot. This story pulled me in. *light spoiler* Dr Sawyer Barnhart is a womanizing man whore and production assistant Fay is not impressed with the man at all. So when he meets the sexy little firecracker who doesn't fall immediately for his charm he's rattled. But after their passionate night Fay leaves regretting her impulsiveness to fall into bed with the charismatic doctor. Now, finding out he left her with a sweet present and finding out he isn't what she thought. Fay can't help but fall for her sexy baby daddy.
This four book set by Holly Jaymes about four men and four women who search for "the one" person to have in their life certainly hits all the buttons for romance readers: love at first sight, hot sex at first meeting, hot sex at meetings after, love again. Of course, each couple have to go through all the trials and tribulations of finding, keeping, and accepting each other and each other's personal baggage. And, of course, they all have to have juicy and hot and vividly described sexual escapades while practicing unprotected sex. The resulting surprise: *Spoiler alert* all the women are pregnant and the men have to find out and step up to the fact they are daddies, but of course we already knew that from the titles of the books. This is a voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Booksprout.
This box-set drew me in after the first pages and kept me entertained all the way through.
Emotionally charged stories that kept me flipping the pages until the end. The characters are written with such realism, they're so believable and significant you feel everything the characters feel (love, heartache and lust). Each plotline has some twists and is unique. The connection of the books consists in the 4 friends Sawyer, Isaac, Cliff and Vince, btw they knew how to treat the women of their hearts right. 😉
So, go ahead, grab this book, grab a cup of coffee and let the story give You a relaxed reading time.

Fay and Sawyers story. Sweet, relatively fast moving, romance. It was fine. The only part that bothered me, was, the characters kept ‘crossing their eyebrows’. Not sure how. I’ve never seen anyone do it, never heard of it. But, everybody and their dog, in this story, were crossing their eyebrows, left and right. That part cracked me up. I’m sure that was not what the writer would have me remember, but, here we are. After all the eyebrow crossing, I had no interest in reading the other stories in this set.
Four drool-worthy men. One a heart surgeon, one a University professor, one a CEO and one a pro-football player. Four cocky attitudes. Four strong, hot women . All caught by surprise by the "love bug" and babies! Some seriously steamy scenes. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes sexy, romantic scenes and a happily ever after.

Same basic premise for all the romances where only the names have changed. Immature women getting "angry" over the dumbest stuff then falling into bed and getting pregnant. Lots of background and description on insignificant details as far as decor or scenery where better organization and more detail about the heroine or heroes would have made this a much better read.
A great box set of romance reads about hot womanising alpha men and the women who bring them to their knees the books are gripping from the beginning to the end , all are well written with good storylines and great likeable characters , there's drama , twists and some hot scenes , this box set is a must read

I had previously read and reviewed all of the books in this series. They were all good but I believe that Daddy player was the best maybe because it was the last and it brought all of the characters from the previous books together and gave updates on their marriage, babies, and lives. I just love books with an HEA, babies, and families. You won't go wrong with this boxed set.
I really had fun reading this box set!!! These books was all written very well and storyline flowed with ease!! I was hooked and captivated with every book!! Can’t wait to see what this author has coming out next!!! Great box set!!!

Holly Haynes has written books with strong women and men characters. Each book has couple who have some individual issues that they must deal with in order to be together. They are distinct personalities and the men are great friends. Each man finds a woman who enhances their lives. As the title states children are pivotal in these HEA's. Enjoy!!
I absolutely loved reading this ! The storyline and characters are written so good that I was reading it every time I turned around. I love accidental daddy romances and this is one of my 5 top favorites .

The box had real fears that we all experience when going into new relationships. Past baggage makes it hard for us to move on to new relationships. These stories were written tastefully about adult relationships.
I can't even fairly rate this set, as I was 30 percent into book one and had to DNF. The writing was below subpar with multiple grammatical, structural and spelling errors that I eventually could not overlook.
These group of books are some very heartwarming and believable stories a definite must read to anybody looking for something to warm your heart and make you feel good.
I enjoyed reading Accidentally Daddy, the box set, where four friends from childhood, find their one and only, and become daddy. Great book by Holly Jaymes.
