Game Day Baby
A steamy new full-length standalone novel by Amazon bestselling authors C.M. Seabrook and Frankie Love!
I had it all planned out.
I'd find a girl, marry her, get the white picket fence and make a family.
But then a baby is dropped off at my doorstep.
My baby.
Turns out I'm more than an NFL quarterback -- I'm a father.
And my daughter's mother is missing. Or she ran away.
No one knows, not even her sister Aria Ryan.
Aria carries a gentle grace that doesn't match her story.
She has every reason to run -- her sister has made her life a living hell.
But Aria is different. And I want her to stay.
A baby changes everything and this game I'm playing isn't won on the field.
It's dirty, it's dangerous, and I'm in it to win it.
Game Change Baby features Tatum Madden, from the Princeton Charming books!
This time he isn't letting the girl of his dreams get away. He's fighting for more than touch down -- he's fighting for his daughter's life.

Predictable romance with two sweet characters who have a minefield to get through for their happy.
I read this to make up my own mind given those making assumptions on the male character *without reading it* that are so wrong, I can't even. 🙄

Cute little sports romance with unexpected events and egotistical characters willing to do anything for money. It's a bit of a rollercoaster ride! There's plenty of passion, spice, and heartfelt moments, mixed with betrayal, family drama, and the downsides of fame. It's not actually part of the "Princeton Charming" series, but Tatum is, and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing his story 🫶.

In the interest of full disclosure there are parts of this book that are definitely not safe, there is a few parts that could be triggers but not graphic. This was a longer book than normal from the duo but it was definitely gripping and highly engrossing read in my opinion.
Tatum is a NFL superstar for the Chargers but after a torn ligament is left benched for the time being while he recovers, returning from a physical therapy session and turning down a night on the town he is face to face with a blast from his past and she has a gift from him in the form of Rose, whom he believes is his daughter right away but the girl in front of him is none other than Aria Ryan retired actress and child star who is a shadow of her former self and a one night stand he had a year ago. But when she demands money he knows that there is no way that he can let her leave with their baby and vows to look after her and wait for her return. Suddenly left holding the baby he had known nothing about and it becoming clear no mother who has no intention of returning he sets out to find her only when he finds the real Aria Ryan he is in for more shocks than he is ready to handle but the woman in front of him is one that he wants to know better but will circumstances let him find out the truth and will Aria see him for who he really is and could be?
Aria Ryan one half of the Ryan Twins who once rode the high of stardom walked away from a life that she never wanted and opened her dance school but after years of covering for her twin Ashley and paying of her debts and using her name. Nothing could prepare her for the shock when she discovers that she has abandoned her child and gone missing. But as usual Aria is left paying the price for a life she has no part of having and now she has a NFL superstar accusing her of abandoning a child that’s not hers. After she finally explains who she really is and meets her niece she knows that there is nothing that she will not do to keep precious Rose safe from the life her twin is leading but can she save Ashley or is it really too late and could her and Tatum really be destined for their own HEA or is everything an illusion?
There is so much that happens in this book, mistaken identity, broken friendships and real love and I really did love the journey Tatum, Aria and Rose took together and I will admit to feeling very emotional at times. Could not put this book down and I really really hope that Cleo and Ellis get their own book too. Highly recommended read.

not-for-me
September 22, 2019The H had a ons with the h's twin sister which resulted on a baby girl... now idk if the H is the father of said baby but he and h's twin did have sex, so it is still a no for me.
Definitely not for me. And it would be worse if the h's sister suddenly appears to create drama. Nope, not risking brain cells over this.

This book is kind of hard to rate. The first 70% it was a 4 - 4.5 star read and I liked where it was going. Then that last 30% just got a little bit over kill. It was good but just felt like the author's tried to shove ever plot twist they could think of in and it really didn't need it. The story already had the perfect amount of drama and each of those individual happenings would have been enough on their own. Instead we got like 5 things all clumped in.
But even in saying that I did enjoy it. I liked the writing and the characters. And I really appreciate the fact it was free since I had already decided that was what I wanted to read on Goodreads finding it free on Amazon was the cherry on top.
I also have to call out all the haters who aren't reading it because of this, that, or the other reason. You're idiots! You are literally judging a book you haven't read because of what you think is in it. Spoiler alert: you're wrong. And I highly encourage everyone to read what they want and don't read what you don't want but don't put down a reason for not reading a book when you don't even know if that happens. Like 4 reviews on here that made me doubt reading this story were all wrong.
Safety warning: this book is actually safe. There is a mention of rape but it isn't on the page and it's not a focus.

This was a great story. I love a sports romance. Tatum and Aria were a great couple. Tatum finds out that he has a baby and goes on the hunt for her mother and finds her twin sister. They have to work together to help raise his daughter. They will go through some ups and downs because of who he is and who she was. There will be a certain part of this story that will not be a real big surprise but I still really enjoyed this book. You will thoroughly enjoy this book and it is a quick, fun and sexy read.

November 8, 2022Free today 8 November 2022 / but so many questions cos double dipping into the twin pond isn’t my thing, but I’m curious 👀
Is he really the father?
Did he accept the drug addict ow’s word that he’s the father or did he do a paternity test before going all “my daughter my daughter rah rah yada yada I’m a sucker”?
Didn't they use condoms?
Is he an OM from a previous book?
If yes, is he still pining after her in that book?
Does this ow cause lotsa drama?
Is this a strong h despite being so trampled upon by her family?

It wasn’t awful. I’ve been back to back 2 star reads lately so honestly I’m just glad to have something bearable lol.
The book started out well with potential but then it kind of went to shit half way through when they decided to add more drama. One piece of the drama made zero sense too. That baby was born with aria as the mother she’s on the birth certificate, she will match its dna. They should have pressed kidnapping charges and gotten the baby back not entertained her 5 million dollar extortion lmao
Also there were quite a few typos

I really liked this reading.
I sincerely expected a sex scene everywhere and I was surprised to find their right dose and a plot full of so much pain and betrayal that it was nice to see that in the end they succeeded.
This story tells us about the broken blood ties, about the family that you can find in friends and also about betrayal, but above all about unconditional love that can always be where you least expect it.

Wow
Once I started reading I could not put the book down. There were so many twists ans turns in the book. The way they took a young lady broken and crumbled by fame and a pro football player and have then come together in Unexpected circumstances is amazing.
I will say the way that Drew acted with Tatum at the park, I instantly knew he was involved with the kidnapping. I never liked the man throughout the entire book. I did really enjoy Knox, Ellis and Cleo. Those people are amazing and true friends to Tatum and Aria. They stayed by their sides through all the chaos.
The book was beautifully written, but in the last quarter of the book, there were a ton of grammatical errors, wrong uses of words, and no proof reading. I did have to read over a couple sentences a few times to figure out what was being said. Other than that. It was an excellent book.

This was an enjoyable read.
I liked the characters and how the story played out.
Yeah a couple of points might have been predictable or easy guesses but they didn't take anything away from the story

This one started out good. I was into it, both of them were super cute and sweet. Loved their bond and relationship with each other and with baby Rose. But then too much kept being thrown at them from all angles and it just got to be too much. Everything was then rushed to be resolved. Didn't work for me but it was a quick and easy read.

This is not your usual romantic tale. Yes it features a beautiful, gutsy heroine and a handsome, buff hero who can melt your heart, but it also touches on some touchy subjects (like drug addiction) that may be triggers for some readers. This story is captivating right from the first page to the last, with bold, believable characters and a unique storyline with a few unexpected twists and turns. Tatum, the handsome pro football hero, is stunned when a woman from a previous one night stand shows up on his doorstep, strung out on drugs and with a young infant by her side. After being told the adorable infant is his daughter, Rose,Tatum refuses to let the strung out mother leave with her. When she fails to return for Rose, Tatum takes matters in his own hands and sets out to protect and care for the young infant now in his custody, and begins his search for her mother. The search leads him to Aria, the baby momma’s twin sister, who is stunned by his arrival and his revelations about her wild, estranged sister’s recent antics. Her twin had assumed her identity and racked up a pile of debts not the least of which is a hospital bill related to the birth of her niece. Both Aria and Tatum agree that they must do what they can to keep Rose safe from public scrutiny and her druggie mother. As they join forces to care for little Rose, their fiery attraction combusts and leads to passionate intimacies and emotional complications. When the media finds about about little Rose, Aria and her twin’s celebrity past and downfall come to light as well. The resulting media circus, her conniving relatives, and interfering friends all put pressure on their budding relationship. Can they really raise Rose together and forge a lasting bond between them? Tatum really hopes they can make things work permanently...he is totally besotted with young Rose and her beautiful aunt. Aria dreams of being part of a family with Rose and Tatum, but past experience has taught her that happiness doesn’t last in her life. Her twin and mother usually make sure of that. Read this engaging, sometimes heartwrenching book to discover how Tatum and Aria’s story concludes.

Tatum, from the Princeton Charming books, finally found his woman now he has to make sure to hold on to her.
This was a sports romance that had a little( a lot) of everything. Tatum is living his dream now playing for the Chargers when his world is rocked by a One night stand he doesn't even remember sleeping with and yet she's on his doorstep with his baby. After she flees without the baby Tatum automatically steps up like a Man and Daddy's that baby, he gets a lead to her whereabouts and runs into Aria who is Ashley's identical twin sister. (Ashley drugged-out momma). She too is a decent human being steps up to take care of her niece. So much time together these two have an instant connection and sparks fly. Tatum can't have his HEA so easy oh no this ladies really put the poor dude throw the ringer with drama, and suspense and lies. It just gets crazy.
I loved Tatum loved him in the previous series and he is a really fantastic caring character that makes all the ladies go goo. Aria I liked she really gained self-confidence and grew into herself. I did think it was a bit much with everything, but I enjoyed going along on the ride.

Game Day Baby was so much more that I expected! The title may indicate a light romance but this was anything but. It took me by surprise in the best possible way! Tatum is a good guy, almost too good to be true. Playing in the NFL isn't fulfilling anymore, he wants something meaningful, something more. After losing his best friend Charlie to her husband, he figures love isn't in the cards for him. When a one night stand shows up on his doorstep with a baby, nothing will ever be the same. I don't want to give too much away because I went in blind and it sucked me in completely. The circumstances lead to something real but the world keeps trying to pull it apart. I was so into this story, I didn't do anything except read. I had to know how they could possibly get a happy ending that I wanted them to have so badly. Romantic and a little tragic, these two people are so strong and still open to life's possibilities after all the crap they have been through. I loved every moment of their story!
September 20, 2019
It's not an original premise but these authors do a good job with this story. I love the characters.
Aria is so brave!! I don't understand the back story of Tatum totally....why was he a mess? Why does Knox and him put up with Drew?
I needed more backstory because Tatum had loving parents and he's such a good guy when we meet him. It doesn't jibe with party with Drew.
Well, anyway...I cringed a few times on how dumb Tatum was in terms of legal matters and his headaches.....wow. Not sure the headaches had to be in the story but it did add a dimension to the characters career challenges.
This is closer to a four...I just couldn't see five million to a drug addict.....

Wow, what a fantastic book. I devoured this book, couldn’t stop reading until I finished it. Tatum is shocked, he’s left with a baby. Is Rose his daughter? Loved the chemistry between Tatum and Aria, can they be a family? So much happens, loved being on edge too. I even cried towards the end. Aria hates being in the limelight and I loved how she speaks out about what happened to her and her sister. It’s a very heartfelt story. I loved both epilogues, we definitely get a very happy ever after.
September 15, 2019
Finally we get Tatum's story. I loved him in Charlie's books and I was so happy to dive into the book. Filled with loads of drama, suspense and emotional overload this was once again a great collaboration between C.M. Seabrook and Frankie Love. Between the twin dynamics of Aria and Ashley and the baby drama with Rose, Tatum only knows one thing - once that little girl got a hold of his heart NOTHING was going to stop him from being a great daddy. I just hope the rest of the team now get their own storyline.
September 30, 2019
I LOVED this story. It's hot. It's steamy. It's heartbreaking. It's sweet. It's steamy - did I already say that? Well, it is. It's a fantastic read with a good balance of baby drama.
After being handed a crappy situation, Tatum finds his silver lining. But...like real life, nothing is quite as it seems. There is a ton of red-hot fun to slice through the crazy that keeps popping up.

What a sweet and emotional read! Aria & Tatum's story has some twists & turns that are quite unexpected, but I love how they work things out. Both characters are strong, loving, and have huge hearts. And I really enjoyed their HEA epilogues!! : )

good read
Enjoyable read that had many facets to it. Lots of twists and turns that eventually pull you into a good read. My only criticism would be the lack of retribution for the mother and a bit more payback about drew. That said good read.

felt like I was reading a shitty Wattpad book
April 24, 2020
This is the first book by a new author(s) I’ve read in a while and to be honest I didn’t have high hopes for it but I found myself surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
Tatum Madden is our hero. He’s the quarterback for a pro football team but he’s currently on the injured list. His wild partying days are past and now he’s looking forward to finding ‘the one’ and settling down and starting a family. He comes from a good and loving family so he’s pretty grounded. So other than the injury as well as reoccurring headaches, things are looking good. That is until an old one night stand shows up and ends up leaving a young baby girl before she disappears claiming he’s the baby daddy. He hunts her down, outraged that a mother would just leave a baby with basically a stranger. He finds her only to discover Aria Ryan, the twin of the mother and that they have both been hoodwinked. Ashley has stolen Aria’s identity and made life hell for Aria. Now Aria and Tatum work together to look after the baby and try and track down the evil twin.
This book has a bit of a fairy tale feel to it – in a good way. Tatum is the perfect hero. He’s handsome, successful, wealthy, and just wanting to find love. Aria is the poor princess with an evil sister princess. They are both childhood television stars but life after that has not been good. Ashley is a drug addict who has continually sabotaged Aria. Tatum swoops in to save Aria.
The book isn’t perfect but I enjoyed it enough to see what else this team has written and when I asked myself the question, ‘would I read this book again?’ the answer was very possibly. So it gets a thumb up from me.

It needs editing. I don’t know why I had to read about Tatum calling the real estate agent three times before he got the house. Each time it seems like he would have put an offer in, but apparently doesn’t since it’s “for sale” each time. WTH was he calling the agent for if not to put in an offer!?
Then the story itself seemed to be so ridiculously drama filled. It was just too much and the romance part and chemistry between Tatum and Aria was not clicking for me. It all seemed forced.
There are some major issues that aren’t properly covered or it’s pushed aside and concluded with more ridiculousness.
- Cheating (Drew) - not concluded
- Rape - supposedly Aria does a tell-all interview and writes a bestselling memoir🙄 and the rapist gets some type of sentence, but years and years after the fact
- Drug use - partial conclusion but not a happy one
- Prostitution - not discussed other than a mention
- Brain trauma from football - luckily he has millions so no worries there🙄
- Loan shark/Drug dealer threats - I guess concluded but no real follow up on this unless the random name Ashley mentioned towards the end was the same dude
- Kidnapping and extortion - concluded but also just too unbelievable
It’s just so ridiculous. Even the kidnapping scene alone, how did that even happen?! It makes no sense that Tatum wouldn’t have seen someone come up to take Rose out of the stroller when he was right there.
There’s an HEA. Definitely won’t be reading more by these authors though.
Then the story itself seemed to be so ridiculously drama filled. It was just too much and the romance part and chemistry between Tatum and Aria was not clicking for me. It all seemed forced.
There are some major issues that aren’t properly covered or it’s pushed aside and concluded with more ridiculousness.
- Cheating (Drew) - not concluded
- Rape - supposedly Aria does a tell-all interview and writes a bestselling memoir🙄 and the rapist gets some type of sentence, but years and years after the fact
- Drug use - partial conclusion but not a happy one
- Prostitution - not discussed other than a mention
- Brain trauma from football - luckily he has millions so no worries there🙄
- Loan shark/Drug dealer threats - I guess concluded but no real follow up on this unless the random name Ashley mentioned towards the end was the same dude
