Another sweet and steamy read by FD! Kiss Me Baby is such a cute book. Zack is a billionaire and a single dad. Food blogger Amelia visits his hotel for a bachelorette party and sparks fly. Zack was dreamy and Amelia is quirky. Totally safe: virgin heroine, celibate hero. Cute epilogue with two kids and pregnant heroine. <3
We finally get a little substance to these stories, here we have a single parent dad with a teen daughter who meets his woman as she fulfills a dare and kisses him. From there it was the typical possessive H/sweet h and sexy times that's the norm with this series. With just the little extra to the plot I actually enjoyed this one quite a bit
Insta Virgin h Single parent non manwhore H H 37/ h 25(if I remember correctly) Quick read
Great story. Loved how Zack was crazy for Amelia. He's been waiting for her his whole life. One little slip up and he was a single father at 20. His daughters mother has not been in the picture since she was born. I never once felt the h was second best nor was he pining away for the ex. -virgin h, celibate H -dual POV -no cheating or abuse -no OP drama Can't wait for Saints story. He's gonna fall hard and fast just as the others have.
Never take a dare in vegas.. you might get a piercing or take a dumb selfie tattoo.. but Ameila dare by her drunk cousin/bride was well not to bad..pick a guy and kiss him... simple and fun well, make sure he isnt a billionaire. Or maybe a billonare who is ALPHA as fuck lol.
Zack had the most magical kiss of his life now he is watching the woman walk away not on his watch. its time he find his happy ever after he paid his dues working and making sure his adult daughter happy and taken care of now its his turn. When he finds her in his club he is going to show her they are mean to be. Dirty talking and some dirty treats in his office he is wifying his woman up before she can go back home.

A little mystery in this addition! Amelia kisses Zack on a dare. The race is on after that! I loved that Zack had a grown daughter,this added a bit more substance to the story. I hope she gets her story! Insta love at its best.
Another winner from this duo of authors. It's a lovely novella about billionaire Zach, owner of a hotel in Vegas, and maid of honor Amelia who is dared to kiss a stranger on the street. Instant flames!
It's fun and passionate as they get to know each other in flesh and soul. I liked that he has a teen daughter who also features in several scenes.
A couple of misunderstandings made the dialogues perkier. I loved the first baby scene and the fantastic epilogue where there was an intense development about a future couple. Very entertaining, and comes packed with possessiveness and forever love.
I am very happy with every couple in this hotel setting. Keep'em coming 😊
Another steamy sweet romance quickie! Loved how sweet, innocent and shy the heroine was and how alpha, obsessed and crazy OTT the hero was. He was caught the second the heroine laid her lips on his!
Safe. Heros past is mentioned in that he had a kid when he was younger but he’s been focused on raising his daughter and taking care of his business and sliming around with randoms hasn’t been his style, so he’s been celibate. Heroine is a virgin and belongs only to her hero. No others, no cheating or abuse of any kind. Lots of baby making!!! HEA with epilogue years out.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 4.25 Adorable!!! When I heard this was a single dad romance I expected a younger child, but was not disappointed by Delia. She was kind of used as a plot device, but it worked.
I have high expectations with a Fiona Davenport book and was a little disappointed by the lack of her smuttiest tropes, but I definitely enjoyed this book more than the last book in the Vegas, Baby series.
Amelia was a sweet heroine, who also happened to be a wonderful maid of honor for her cousin, Maria. She was 25 and a virgin (something I find to be a little unlikely and why I prefer a younger virgin heroine).
Zack was a great hero who instantly fell for his heroine. He was a wonderful father to his 17 year old daughter and a young one at 37.
I found that the bride along with the rest of the bridal party were quite annoying. The book may have been better if less focus was put on them. They were in some limbo where they were too rude and annoying to like, but had a few nice moments where you couldn’t exactly hate them. I would have liked it to be more straight forward.
Overall, I would totally recommend, but I am waiting (im)patiently for the Love series to come back as I much prefer it.
Is this some new genre I haven't heard of before? Very short. Absolutely, totally insane insta-love. Not lust, LOVE! I mean they meet the other day, and are seriously talking love, marriage and kids! Then add in that he's celibate and she is a virgin.
They just keep getting better and better and I think this one is my favorite. Hotel owner totally smitten by a maid of honor in Vegas for the weekend. He will go to any length to find out who she is and make her his.
This was such a fun, cute one! I think I might've liked it the best of the whole series, and it made a perfect series ender. Excited for the MMA series they clearly introduced here to be next!
Older possessive cavemen obsessed in claiming and breeding their woman make me so freaking HOT! 🔥🥵🔥 This book was fun, cute, seriously hot, sweet, exciting.
I was privileged enough to receive an advanced reader copy of this book from the author for a voluntary and honest review. A great story that was hard to put down. Extremely entertaining, captivating, emotional and very interesting sexy read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong characters. Can't wait for Saint & Angelique!
Kiss Me, Baby (Vegas, Baby, #8) by Fiona Davenport ⭐⭐⭐⭐
HERO - Zack Parker. Billionaire and co-owner of the Artemis Hotel & Casino. Dark hair that’s overdue for a cut, some facial scruff, and dark eyes.
HEROINE - Amelia Flores. Food blogger. Long, curly back hair, brown eyes, and tan skin.
OVERALL THOUGHTS - I really liked this one, which is relieving since the series seemed to be going downhill with the last few entries. I do have one big gripe, however. First, though, the positives.
Both Zack and Amelia were fairly well-developed characters. Zack’s been mentioned in many of the previous entries, while Amelia is completely new since she’s only visiting Vegas for her cousin’s bachelorette party. Amelia is quite a few years younger than Zack, but since she’s in her mid-20’s, the age gap isn’t really focused on. Instead, Zack being a single parent becomes the main source of “conflict” - in quotations because there’s not really any conflict.
It was nice to see the Artemis get at least some attention since it’s always treated like the lesser of the two hotel-and-casinos, the other being the Lennox. In fact, even Amelia and her crew are staying at the Lennox, and not the Artemis. I’m really curious to know what the differences are between the two, and why the Lennox seems to get all the love, but now that books for both the owners of the Artemis have come and gone without that subject being touched, I guess I’ll just be left to forever wonder. That’s not my big gripe, though. No, that would be the timeline and the quality of updates we get about previous characters.
When FD started this series, I don’t know how many books they originally planned to write. Either way, it ended up nine books long and spanning a timeline of several years. However, the quality of details varied over the course of the series. In the beginning, the first two couples were only allotted one epilogue taking place mere months later. Starting with book three, FD started giving readers peaks into couples lives many years down the road. The problem with that, is that details about the first two couples are very murky over the course of the series. They’re around, but we don’t get much update to their families other than quick mentions of “kids” or someone being pregnant, never going into more details than that. How many kids do they have now? How far along is the pregnancy? Is it her first, second…?
The other area where details varied is regarding the timeline. Sometimes FD was very specific about when books were taking place. One year later, 15 months later, etc. Other times...not so much. The first three books, for example, are very murky on the timeline. They seem to take place within five months or so of each other, but with the arrival of this book, I’m even less sure about that than I was before. This is because in book two, which featured Zack’s brother Becket, Becket specifically stated his niece was only 10.
Here, though, in a book I’d previously determined was only about 4-5 years after book two, give or take a few months, Delia is 17 when she should only be about 14-15. From book four onward, the timeline is pretty clear cut so that means the first three books may have spanned more time than they hinted at - two to three years more, give or take a few months. Or, it could mean that FD made a mistake, or that Delia being 17 just suited the plot better, timeline be damned. What I’m getting at, though, is that when authors write long series like these, especially if they span years, I really wish they’d be more careful (and more specific) about timeline, so that I don’t have to jump through hoops to figure out how much time has passed only to realize that I’m either wrong, or that the authors made a mistake, throwing the whole thing off anyway.
As far as cameos, all of the previous lead characters are at the very least mentioned, but only a few show up on page:
--Drew Lennox from It’s Vegas, Baby, who, it’s suggested, now has four children with his wife Autumn.
--Knox and Addilyn Dawson from Baby Blues, though we don’t get any updates on their family.
--Special mention: remember the young, immature hostess, Kimberly, that appeared in Becket and Lia’s (Bet, Me, Baby) story? Well, she’s mentioned again here, except she’s matured over the years and is now one of the best waitresses there, with Zack saying she’s on her way to being promoted to manager. I was pleasantly surprised by the callback and that FD chose to have the character grow.
I have to say, I’m a little shocked Becket and Lia didn’t feature in this story since they’re, you know, his family. With the suggestion in this book that Drew and Autumn now have four kids, Becket and Lia are officially the couple whose family life we know least about, which I find really weird since Becket is Zack’s own brother.
Alright, time to wrap up this super long review (and rant). Despite the peripheral issue I have with the timeline of this series and quality of updates we get about previous couples, I did really enjoy this specific book. The issue with Delia’s age just so happened to cause this book review to be the one where I finally vented about the other stuff.
Amelia’s in town for her cousin, Maria’s hen party and is dared to kiss a stranger. She kisses a billionaire hotel magnate.
Love at first sight...super short novella. She’s dared to kiss a stranger, which she does, until he takes control of the kiss. He then sets out to discover her identity and manipulates her into celebrating at his property rather than the one reserved for the party.
He takes her home since his seventeen year old daughter is out and rids her of her innocence.
“Dad!” Delia’s voice suddenly shattered the moment, and I groaned at the interruption, burying my head in Amelia’s neck. “This shit is not funny, Amelia. I’m dying here ” “In the kitchen, sweetie.” “Yeah, I’m not coming in there. I know exactly what’s going on in that kitchen. I just wanted to let you know that I’m going to Kim’s to study for our finals. So...carry on.”
“Um, Zack?” “Yeah, beautiful?” “Did you just ask me to marry you during sex?” “You bet your pretty little a** I did.” Suddenly, Amelia pulled away and sat up, dodging me when I growled and reached for her.
You did a great job. Congratulations, Mommy and Daddy.” I smiled up at the nurse who’d assisted me through my labor and delivery. “Thank you.” “Are you ready for visitors? Or should I tell them to wait a little longer and give you some alone time with the baby?” “Please let Delia know she can come back, she’s waited a long time to meet this little one.”
“You should’ve given me a brother instead if you wanted to even out the numbers.” “Hello, Julia. I’m your big sister, Delia. I love you so much, precious girl.” “Hey, sweetie.” Her eyes filled with tears, and she sniffled. “She’s so perfect. I could do with another one just like her. Maybe you guys could get right on that as soon as the doctor says it’s okay.” I figured she was just teasing us and laughed, but I missed the considering look on Zack’s face. When I found out I was pregnant again, he totally threw his oldest daughter under the bus and blamed her for giving him the idea.
Delia comes to rue the day she asks for siblings as she gets them in spades.
Kiss Me, Baby, Book 8 of the Vegas, Baby series, was about 25-year-old Amelia Flores, a food blogger, and 37-year-old Zach Parker, one of the co-owners (with his brother Becke) of The Artemis Hotel and Casino. Amelia was in Vegas as the maid of honor at the bachelorette party she was hosting for her cousin. The ladies were playing Truth or Dare while walking back to their hotel for the next event they had lined up for the night. When Maria dared her cousin to kiss a stranger, she wasn't expecting Amelia to actually do it. However, Amelia looked up and saw the most gorgeous man she'd ever laid eyes on and determined to follow through. As he was heading home from work, Zach wasn't expecting to meet the woman of his dreams, let alone have her walk up to him and kiss him in front of everyone on the street. After giving her a second kiss, she left with her friends and he headed home, determined to learn all he could about the beautiful stranger he planned to marry. This was a micro-short but sweet novella that had just the right amount of angst and drama, with the added touch of some humor to keep the reader's attention. There wasn't the normal emotional rollercoaster ride, and there wasn't much of a push/pull between the two main characters. Even the MMC's daughter was easygoing when it came to her dad finally finding love. All of the characters, main and secondary, were fully developed and mature, with enough room for any growth that was needed. This story even had some of the heroes and heroines from previous (and upcoming) books make an appearance. While there was the usual grammatical error here and there throughout the story, it wasn't enough to detract from the flow of the book. So, I gave it a four-star rating. I would have given it five stars, but I would have liked for it to be a bit longer with more details of the characters.
The Yeah, Baby Series is one of my favorites. This writing duo knows how to get the reader involved in their world and want to learn more about all the characters. I love that each book has characters from the other books showing up in them and that they are interconnected.
Zack is half owner of The Artemis Casino which is right next door to The Lennox. He is a single father who had raised his daughter and taken care of his business. He hasn’t even looked twice at a woman, choosing to focus on the things most important to him. That all changes when a stranger catches his eye and walks up to him and kisses him on the street.
Amelia is in Vegas for her cousin’s bachelorette party. It isn’t her kind of scene but as the maid of honor, it is her responsibility to book and participate in the weekend. Little did she know one dare would change the course of her life forever.
This is a short read but it is very well written and will draw you into the plot and the characters themselves. I am so excited for the next book in this series after the lead in to it.
Would you kiss a stranger on a dare?? That's exactly what Amelia did while hanging out with some girls for a bachelorette party in Vegas. Zack, the co-owner of the casino, is standing at the entrance when a beautiful woman kisses him. With that one kiss, he knew she was his. But what Amelia doesn't know is that Zack is a single father of a 17 year old. And she just thinks that he is a manager. What will happen when she finds out the truth? Can she accept that he has a teenage daughter? Or the fact that he's a billionaire? Please!!!! This Fiona Davenport.....you know that it's hot and heavy and sweet and loving! Loved this!!! I can't wait to read Saint's story.
- she is a virgin - doesn't say how long he is celibate but its hints about 17 years - no om/ow drama - 2 wonderful epilogues
First things first; I love the cover of this book! Kiss me, baby is eight in the Vegas baby series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters loveable and the storyline enjoyable. Amelia is in Vegas for her cousin’s bachelorette. When she is dared to kiss a stranger, she ends up kissing Zack. Zack Parker is a single father to a teenage daughter, a businessman and a billionaire. He isn’t looking for love but soon changes his mind when he meets Amelia. The chemistry between Amelia and Zack is clear to see and I liked them as a couple. They made a cute pair. I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story. The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for the next book in this series. I need it now!
Fiona Davenport has been releasing some really good stories lately and Kiss Me, Baby does not disappoint. We are back in Las Vegas, only this time all the action takes place at The Artemis. Coincidence and Truth or Dare lead to a fateful meeting (and kiss!) between The Artemis billionaire owner, Zack, and Amelia, who is in town for her cousin's bachelorette party. What follows is for what the Fiona Davenport duo is best known - well-written instalove, whirlwind courtship, and hot sexytimes with celibate heroes and virgin heroines. I loved the epilogue and the teaser for the next couple in the series.
Amelia Flores is in Vegas for one thing, her cousin's bachelorette party. She is the maid of honor and she is determined that her cousin have the best weekend ever. The thing is, though, that she is not much of a party girl. So, when the girls dare her to kiss a man she is reluctant, until she sees the most handsome man ever.
Zach Parker was not expecting to experience the best kiss ever. The single father knows that he has finally met the woman of his dreams. And he is not going to let her leave after the weekend is over.
As always, writing duo Fiona Davenport deliver a wonderful insta-love story. This one sure to lived up to their reputation! I cannot wait for Delia's story!
*I received Kiss Me, Baby as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
KISS ME BABY by Fiona Davenport. For a quick, fun read, this is your story! I adored the Hero - Zack. He is a rich, single dad not looking for love but unexpectedly finds it. Amelia is a bit on the shy side, preferring not to be in the limelight. But she cannot get out of a dare by her cousin and so the love story of Zack and Amelia begins. Zack's daughter Delia is a doll too. The author manages a few minor misunderstandings between our lovely couple and I liked how Zack handled them. Overall, this was a fun, uplifting read that I truly enjoyed. (received ARC for honest review)
I have loved every single book in this series and I look forward to the next! I am a firm believer in love at first sight as that is the way it was for my husband and myself.

Life is to short already, why waste it? So read this series ASAP, and if you haven't already, find the love of your life and enjoy the ride. Mature eyes only due to hot 🔥 loving!!!!
