Have My Baby
What a fun, sweet, romantic, best friends since 10th grade and always there to support each other to lovers in a very unconventional way! Seth thought he had the answers to what he wanted and how to address it, but oh how he learned. Seth, Laurie, his daughter and Ally will melt your heart. Their road to a family had me laughing, crying and swooning for a fairytale. Not only did I love them but also his brother, Unca Ollie and Ally's best friend, Sage.
Claim My Baby
This book was so fun, sweet but oh so sexy! I couldn’t wait for Oliver and Sage to get together and read their story. Having his twin married to her best friend had their paths crossing a lot. Their bickering had me laughing out loud but knew once they realized what was there, things would get hot! What starts as a favor to his sister-in-law ends up changing his life forever. Sage’s winning trip to Vegas took Oliver on an adventure with lots of different firsts for them both. I love these two and how each grew from the other into one hot loving couple!
Who's The Daddy
I was dying to read Dare and Kelsey’s story. Dare is a single dad and mechanic. Kelsey is a good girl starting over and the new teacher at the Catholic School in town. After moving in, a pizza delivery, a few hook-ups, a parent/teacher conference and the “flu”, Kelsey’s fresh start is moving very quickly. Dare steps up to the plate when Kelsey found out her “flu” is a baby. I loved these two. Their chemistry is so sweet, hot and explosive!
Pit Stop: Baby!
I think Gage is my favorite!!! From Rylee and Gage’s first encounter, to the surprise they learn the next day, then another surprise - I couldn’t put this book down. Soon Gage is trying to figure out his next move and heads home to visit. While getting flowers to surprise his mom, he runs into Rylee, the one woman he can’t seem to forget. Rylee had me laughing out loud. Between the things she does and the things that happen to her,I fell in love with her. Gage is determined to have another chance with Rylee and soon learns there will be someone else they need to consider in their relationship. He’s sweet, protective, loving and caring. Rylee and Gage are adorable together. Their chemistry is off the charts.

An excellent box set of one of the best series around. I read these 4 stories when they originally came out and loved all of them.

Have My Baby: 5 stars
Awww my heart can't stop from swooning all over the place! Have My Baby has to be one of the sweetest, cutest friends-to-lovers romance I've read in a long time. And sexy, too!

Claim My Baby: 5 stars
Claim My Baby is the second in the Dirty DILFs series and it's pretty great. This time it's Oliver's turn to be brought to his knees by a special woman. And that woman happens to be Sage, Ally's (from Have My Baby) best friend.

Who's the Daddy: 5 stars
I knew I was going to like Dare and Kelsey's story after meeting them in the previous books of the Dirty DILFs series, but I didn't anticipate just how much I'd fall in love with them.

Pit Stop: Baby!: 5 stars
Who knew a hot one night stand would end up leading to so much?! Certainly not Gage and Rylee when they indulged after a fun bet on a game of darts. But when they meet up later, Rylee's not exactly feeling the hot guy she hooked up with before knowing he was her brother in law's brother (Dare from Who's the Daddy). Yikes...

A collection of drool!!! This is an awesome way to read Taryn Quinn...you'll be loving Crescent Cove by the time you are done - and there are more than just this sweet packet of 4 so enjoy!

Have my Baby (1st Book)
Loved this one, but then it's really hard not to. A sexy single dad with an adorable little girl along with his best friend since high school.

Ally is Seth’s go to for everything. She's been there for him since Laurie was born and has filled the role of her mom without the "strings" and he's totally blind to what is right in front of him.

When Seth presents Ally with a contract the fun just begins!

Another emotion-filled read by Taryn Quinn. I'm so excited there will be more - I can't wait to read about Sage.

Claim my Baby (2nd Book)
Sigh, I think I love Oliver.

He's so methodical and organized, a real planner! I love the snark between him and Sage. Of all the luck...can you just imagine the first time you are with a fellow the condom breaks!

Sage has won a trip to Vegas and Allie cant go...too preggers. So, Oliver steps up to make sure she doesn't get into trouble. Snark and lust fly between them. Interesting dynamic!

Another really stellar read by Taryn Quinn.

Who's the Daddy (3rd Book)
When Kelsey moves to Crescent Cove to start fresh, she is not expecting to run into a sexy mechanic who helps out at his folk's pizza joint who delivers more than a pizza.

Dare is working when and where he can to make ends meet for him and his son. He is a fulltime mechanic and pulls lots of overtime.

Kelsey and Dare are heat between the sheets! Gets interesting when they find out she's the teacher of Dare's son. Even moreso when they find out she's pregnant.

Hot, sexy and funny - cute couple for sure.

Just when you think you've read it all, TQ comes up with more stellar reads!

Pit Stop Baby! (4th Book)
Rylee is stunning. She can't hold down a job, she's smart, has incredible ideas, and is all over the one and done.

Gage is a gorgeous race car driver who has decided he wants a break. His one night with Rylee isn't enough for him and he's having a rough go at convincing her he's here for the long run.

No surprise Taryn Quinn has pulled another fantastic read out of the hat! Looking at a great DILF series that has humour, gorgeous men and spunky women for us.

Have My Baby
Great start to a new Dirty DILFs series! Seth is a wealthy single dad of a precious 4 year old little girl, Laurie. Laurie has decided that she needs a baby brother or sister to play with and Seth wants to give her that. Unfortunately after the divorce, he's not interested in finding a new mom but wants to find someone who can help him have a baby. Enter Ally. He's best friend since forever. She's a waitress and has been with Seth through all his ups and downs. Naturally, Seth thinks of her when he tries to think of someone who could help him have a baby. So he asks her if she'll help him have the baby. He even offers to pay for her to go to college as she's always wanted to do. Ally can't believe that he's asked her to have a baby, give it up and move on. Ally's been in love with Seth since they've met however, he's never really seen her in that way. But since he's asked her to have a baby with him, he starts seeing her in a new light. This is such a sweet, friends to lovers story filled with lots of laughter and steamy scenes.

Claim My Baby
We first met Sage and Oliver in the first Dirty DILFs book (although you do not have to have read that book in order to enjoy this one).

Sage is best friends with Alison who is married to Seth. Seth is Oliver's twin. Sage is a virgin and quite funny. Oliver hasn't met a woman he hasn't bedded. But seriously, Oliver says the women know what to expect. While Sage is quite witty and Oliver and she have a fun love-hate relationship, Sage has never been on a plane or taken a solo trip or basically taken a vacation, however she wins a trip to Las Vegas. She's so excited to go and plans on taking Alison, but Alison is pregnant and close to her due date and postponing the trip isn't possible as she's already done that. So she tries to find random people to go on the trip with her so she can lose her "V" card but is coming up empty. No worries, she'll go by herself. Alison isn't happy and convinces Oliver to go on the trip and "babysit" Sage. While Sage is annoyed to see Oliver on the plane sitting next to her, she quickly becomes wrapped up in his arms as her anxiety and possible "turbulence" kick in.
Sparks are flying and before you know it, they're in bed, condom breaks and truthfully Oliver acts like a complete jerk for a few minutes until he recovers. Of course, Sage is pregnant and she lets Oliver off the hook except Oliver doesn't want to be let off the hook. What ensues is Oliver proving he can be there for Sage. Can Sage trust him and let him in even when she finds out why he was really in Las Vegas? Does Oliver really want more? Watching their feelings really grow for each other was so sweet. These authors have a way of making you really feel what their characters are going through and that you could easily be a part of their friend group. Such a heartwarming HOT read!

Who's the Daddy?
This is the third book in the Dirty DILFs series. This is a fun, lighthearted sexy series by two of my favorite authors.

Kelsey is looking for a new start. She recently slept with her ex after his grandmother's funeral only to be dumped again via text the next morning. But she gets a teaching job at a catholic school and gets a new apartment in a new town so things are turning around for her or so she hopes.
Enter, Dare. He's helping his parents out delivering pizzas for their restaurant when he appears at her door with a pizza with extra sausage ;) Before you know it, they're getting busy and she's getting more sausage than she expected. Of course, it's not smooth sailing after this because Dare has a son who's now in Kelsey's class (but she doesn't realize it until parent teacher conferences).

Dare and Kelsey hook up again and before you know it, she's pregnant but she's not sure if her ex or Dare is the father of the baby. These two were both bumbling in the relationship arena but so much fun to watch. Who's the daddy? Does Dare really want her or only because she's pregnant? What if the baby isn't his? Read to find out more about this crazy but fun loving duo.

Pit Stop Baby
I think this one was my favorite one of the series so far (and I've enjoyed them all)! Gage is a race car driver that comes home for his brother's wedding but hooks up with the hot and kooky Rylee. The next day at the wedding they find out that their siblings are the ones getting married. That's what happens when you don't want names and it's for one night only!
A few months pass and Gage is back in town and still wildly attracted to Rylee. Only Rylee seems to be dealing with many issues. One of which is this crazy sleepwalking. She does bizarre things when she sleep walks and is afraid of spending the night with Gage.
I love how calm and patient Gage is with Rylee. And I adore Rylee and Macy's kooky styles.
You have to read about this wonderful characters and whether or not Gage will stay in town and win over Rylee!

Have my Baby
Unapologetically romantic, funny and sexy, I loved this gorgeous friends to lovers story. From the title and blurb I wasn't expecting all the feels from this book but it delivered them in spades.

The friendships between all the characters was great fun and Ally's best friend was a hoot. I've even got a soft spot for Seth's twin brother, who mostly comes across as grumpy. There's definitely more to him than meets the eye. Seth's daughter Laurie was delightful, a little sweetheart, and her innocent remarks had me in fits. Feisty and determined, I thought her character was written perfectly.

Having hidden their feelings from each other for so long, once they give in to their desires, things move quickly between Seth and Ally and I loved the hot and erotic moments that these authors write so well. As well as fun and laughter, there are definitely some poignant moments, which hit me in the heart. Wonderfully written, I felt the pain of Ally's loss and those instances had me tearing up and sniffing into my tissues.

Seth's declaration of love was so sweet and the Epilogue gave us a gorgeous conclusion to this fun romance.

Claim my Baby
Claim my Baby is Oliver and Sage’s story. When reading Have my Baby, I felt that there was more to Oliver than his gruff playboy exterior would suggest. He is confident but extremely buttoned up, and restrained. Stiff, (no pun intended), due to a lack of affection as a child when growing up, he comes across as socially awkward at times. He and Sage have an odd relationship in the beginning. Sage says what she likes and often acts slightly inappropriately, with hilarious consequences. Seth’s take charge attitude and his problem solving solutions don’t go down well with her and their bickering often leads to sexually charged, flirty encounters.

Claim my Baby is a funny, light hearted story, which turns out to be a journey of self discovery for both Oliver and Sage. I enjoyed their snarky banter and the way we get to see Oliver’s softer side when he starts to loosen up. I loved this sweet, sexy story.

Who’s the Daddy
The innuendos and flirty banter come thick and fast in this latest book in the Crescent Cove series. Having previously met through mutual friends, mechanic and single dad Dare and school teacher Kelsey waste no time in becoming reacquainted when Dare invites himself in to share the pizza he’s just delivered to Kelsey’s new apartment. Kelsey may be a good girl with a kind heart but she’s not backwards at coming forwards and soon the pizza is forgotten in favor of something much more tasty!

Who’s the Daddy is witty and fun and oh so hot. Dare is a little pushy at times but it’s impossible not to love this hard working family man. Friendships play a hugely important role in this book and in fact in this series of books as a whole and I love the camaraderie and banter between all the characters.

Pit Stop Baby
I think Gage is my favorite ‘Dad’ in this series so far. He’s loving, caring and supportive, not to mention gorgeous! The chemistry between him and Rylee is hot and things move quickly between them. Having said that, I enjoyed the fact that they acknowledged there was still much about each other that they didn’t know. It was instant attraction, not instant love. I wasn’t sure what Gage had done to make his brother so disrespectful to him and it was a little annoying that no one believed him when he said he was going to stick around. In my eyes, he was nothing but sensitive and understanding. I loved the supporting characters too, especially mysterious café owner Macy and I really hope we get to see more of her in the future.

Pit Stop Baby is a lovely lighthearted read, with a lot of heat and a little angst.

This is a box set of the first 4 book in the Crescent Cove series and these books are a must read!

Book 1 is Have My Baby. I loved this book from start to finish. I was hooked from the moment I started reading and couldn't put it down until I finished it. It was that good. Ally is snarky, sweet, loving and just generally a great character! Her other best friend cracked me up from the get go (and I honestly can't wait to read a book about her!!) and the way she always has her back is just awesome! Seth is just a sweet man. He was born to money but he doesn't act like a lot of people who have that kind of money do. His childhood wasn't great, his mother left and his father was never truly there the way a parent should be. He is close to his brother, although he doesn't realize a few things about his brother (and I hopeful Oliver will have a book too). Seth loves his daughter more than anything and you can tell that just by the interactions between them. Laurie, omg Laurie, this little girl is so adorably cute! Even with her mother not being in the picture, she is so well adjusted and just generally happy that you couldn't help but to love her. And then to throw all these characters together into a book? I loved it! I was so glad they figured out in the end what everyone else knew from the beginning! This was another book that was well written with such great characters that i fell in love with it! Can't wait for the next one!!

Book 2 is Claim My Baby. I loved this book. The first book was a winner for me but this one by far blew it out of the water. I love the snarky way these two argue throughout it. A lot of the things they would say to each other just completely cracked me up! And then when they are figuring out exactly how they feel about each other and what they want in their lives? Loved it! They are perfect and I absolutely loved it all! Now I just need a book about Kelsey! Because she may have been a small side character in this book but boy did she make me laugh!! And we need to know what's going on with the Hamilton's dad!! Great read!

Book 3 is Who's The Daddy. I loved this book!! I didn't think this would be better than the last but I was completely wrong. Dare is HOT! And on top of that he is a stand up guy who loves his family and his son. Kelsey loves being a teacher but she wants more than that in her life and is hoping with her move that she will find that. Neither expected the other but they were exactly what they needed. And I loved every second of it. Once I started I couldn't put it down and ended up reading the whole thing all at once! A great read that will make you laugh with some extremely hot parts in there too! And that epilogue! OMG! I wasn't expecting that at all, and now I want that book too!!

Book 4 is Pit Stop: Baby. I absolutely loved this one! Now see I liked the other ones and the last one was my favorite of the series but this blew it out of the water in my opinion! There is a specific part of the book that made me laugh so hard I was crying! And all I will say is to remember book, because I don't want to ruin it! That whole scene with Rylee and what was going through her mind and what she says will crack you up! Rylee and Gage both made me laugh but they also make you believe that you can get the things you need, if you just work for them. And the way they end up working things out at the end? It was an awesome thing! Now I really need a story about Macey!! And with the introduction of another new character, we need hers too!!

These books are definitely well worth a read and I love that there is a box set for the first 4 now, makes it so much easier when doing a reread!

Have My Baby
This was a great friends to lovers read that I enjoyed from the start. Seth and Alli were a great couple once they worked through their fears of ruining their relationship as friends, issues with their pasts and came to the realization that they have loved each other for a long time. The pair had great chemistry together and I really enjoyed their interactions with Seth's daughter Laurie. The plot of their story moved along well and I didn't feel that it either dragged or was rushed while it not only kept me interested but hooked at the same time. I also liked how it was not the typical woman wanting the baby plot but the man - nice twist!

Claim My Baby
I had no idea that Oliver was capable of the things he was until I read this book! I enjoyed watching the pair discover their feelings for each other despite the events that happened between the pair. I also enjoyed watching the transformation of Oliver as he discovered that he didn't like the life that he thought that he enjoyed. I liked watching the changes in him as well as the little things about him that one would not have thought he would do like origami - who would have thought that the man would do origami and then leave notes in them for her? The banter with the frenemy vibe between Sage and Oliver was fun. I also enjoyed the return of Ally and Seth from the first book as a way to catch up with them. Also, it was nice to have Seth to show the differences between identical twins as well. The plot of the this book moved along well and kept me interested from the start and flowed well.

Who's The Daddy
This was a great read that if life in general didn't get in the way, I would have had done in one sitting!! Dare and Kelsey were a well written couple that had amazing chemistry together. Their story moved really quickly but it worked for the characters. Despite all of the pressures that Dare was experiencing in life, he never shied away from Kelsey or Wes. I liked the return of the characters from the previous books in the series, making the books both standalone and interconnected.

Pit Stop Baby
This was a great read that I had finished in a day and was sad when it ended because I wanted a little but more of Gage and Rylee. This was a great addition to this series that can be read as a standalone and I liked that even though it can be read as a standalone, the characters from the other books made appearances even if they were brief. Gage and Rylee were a great couple that had amazing chemistry together. I felt bad for Gage at first as most people doubted his ability to stay and be there for Rylee but was thrilled with the ways that he proved to everyone other wise. Rylee at first made me a bit crazy with her self esteem issues as well as her issues with her past mainly being her sleep disorder but grew to like her more as she took a stand for herself and found her confidence. Together, this couple was amazing once they found their footing especially as they were getting to know each other better. I felt that his book flew by and I was sad to see it end however, I can't wait to see where this series is going to go next.

Have My Baby
I really enjoyed Seth and Ally. This was one of those books where you find yourself trying to talk to the characters in the book. "Wake up, happiness is right in front of you!"

Ally has been in love with Seth since the beginning. She's waited patiently for him to notice her for the woman she has become. She wasn't ready, however, to be asked by her hot best friend to borrow her womb for nine or so months. Naturally she's hesitant, even though the arrangement will give her what she's always wanted, Seth. Well, he would give her his body if not his heart.

With some major steam egging her on, Ally goes down the half a loaf is better than none route. While the duo steam up the pages, it's not until these two realize their hearts were really involved the whole time that we finally get to feel their full passion!

Claim My Baby

I love Oliver! If you enjoyed Have My Baby, the first book in the series, I think you are going to like this one even more!

Oliver has been pulling Sage’s pigtails since they met as teenagers, but apparently they were the only ones who didn’t realize what was going on. As self proclaimed “frenemies” they were the least like couple to get together (insert sarcasm here). Although Seth and Ally seemed somewhat surprised by the pair hooking up, come on, what did they think was going to happen!

I really enjoyed this book because the characters seemed so real. They weren’t the likeliest of couples, but that’s what made them work. They had the ability to bend an adapt to each other’s differences because at the end of the day, they were just in love. That being said, they really did steam up the pages together!

Through amazing adventures and life altering situations, Oliver and Sage had to come to terms with who they were as individuals and who they wanted to be as a couple. I, for one, enjoyed watching them take the journey.

Pit Stop: Baby

Yes, you want to read this book!

Were you wondering if you should invest your time and energy reading the latest Taryn Quinn offering? The answer is most definitely yes. Kylee and Gage are hot together and their story has the right balance of sexy and angst to fulfill just about any romantics heart.

I really loved these two! Gage is unexpectedly kind and protective. He wants a real shot with Rylee before he even knows there’s about to be a baby involved. When he does find out about the baby, I love how he steps up to the plate for both of them, not just out of obligation, but for a longing for something deeper in life.

Kylee is a perfectly, imperfect match for Gage. She tough and strong. While she’s having some problems finding her true calling in life, she not afraid to keep trying. She will stand on her own two feet during this pregnancy, no meter what happens. Luckily she is not stubborn enough to refuse help from Gage in the end.

These two had a shaky, though sexy beginning. It’s good to know that baby won’t slow either of them down!

All my favorite Crescent Cove books, all in one collection!!

Have My Baby
Amazing friends to lovers story!!

Have My Baby is not what I expected, it was so much more!! Seth is a single dad, who doesn't really trust women after being burned, and he wants another baby. Enter Ally, his best friend since high school, who has been in love with him all these years, not that he ever knew this. Who better to ask to have your baby, right? I absolutely loved Set and Ally. They were truly always there for each other and the banter between them had me laughing. They also have this really amazing chemistry and gave us some really steamy sexy times. Another thing I liked about this book was the secondary characters, Laurie, Sage and Oliver. Sage is Ally's bestie and she doesn't hold anything back. Oliver is Seth's twin is absolutely hysterical.....I sense some chemistry between these two. And Laurie is Seth's absolutely adorable daughter. Taryn Quinn really out did themselves with this book, this is one of the best written friends to lovers stories I have read. It has so many feels and stuck with me for days after I finished it.

Claim My Baby
This book was everything I hoped it would be and more!!! When we met Oliver and Sage in Have My Baby, I so hoped they would have a story and boy do they! They are two people that constantly bicker back and forth but you can just tell there is something between them. Sage has won a weekend trip to Vegas and her bestie Ally, convinces Oliver to accompany her, to make sure she doesn't get into any trouble. What could possibly go wrong? Taryn Quinn has this amazing way of weaving a story together. There were parts where I was literally laughing out loud and moments where a teared up. This book is part of the Dirty DILF series so you know there was some hot and steamy sexy times. One-click this book now! It is a standalone so it's ok if you haven't read book 1(but you should, because it's so good)

Who's the Daddy
Hands down, Who's the Daddy is my favorite Dirty DILF!!! Kelsey , the socially awkward teacher, is hysterical and the perfect match to Dare's growly self. I loved the instant connection that they felt for each other. This book is just perfect.... a little bit of angst, a whole lot of laughs and hot AF sexy times!

Pit Stop: Baby!
After reading the blurb for Pit Stop: Baby! I couldn't wait to read it. Omg it is EVERYTHING!! Gage is so beyond swoony and Rylee, she kinda broke my heart a little bit. She's just so unsure of herself. Gage is her perfect match, I absolutely loved the road to their HEA!!

contemporary-romance favorites found-family-of-the-heart

The Crescent Cove series has some of my favourite small town steamy romances that I read annually, and getting the first four stories in this compilation is a great deal. The themes that run through the series are: good friends, sigh-worthy romance, seriously steamy sexy times, as well as humour, laughter and found and extended family. Each of the stories gets a 5 Star rating from me. Once you read these, you will run to buy the rest of this charming romantic series.

Book 1, HAVE MY BABY: There was some emotional drama, but not so much that it annoyed me. The setup of the depth of their friendship had me caring for the characters immediately. This is one of my favourite 'Secret Crush' 'Friends to Lovers' stories, with a side dish of serious steam heat. Their first time has some lovely, lovely moments...

Book 2, CLAIM MY BABY: Have My Baby introduced the snarky relationship between twin brother Oliver and wise-cracking best friend Sage. Oliver is sexy and a dirty talker, but also proves to be caring and tender as he makes Sage's first sexual encounters fun and steamy that helps affirm for her that she is attractive and responsive. (Wish that everyone's first time could involve such a caring and skilled partner). Lots of sigh-worthy moments and you really feel this couple deserve their HEA.

Book 3, WHO’s THE DADDY?: My favourite parts of the book were some of the moments with Dare and his young son Weston. You come to understand that although Dare is a little rough around the edges and pushy at times, he will also be a devoted mate and loving and protective father to the surprise baby he and Kelsey have made. It was fun to visit with the main characters from Books 1 and 2 in the series, and see how they were coping with their surprise babies, and it was lovely to see how easily they embraced Dare and Kelsey into their extended family.

Book 4: PIT STOP: BABY!: I really enjoyed this story that was low on angst and drama. It was charming, adorable, sexy and romantic – just what I needed to read to lighten my week. Adored Gage's loving acceptance and adaptability for Rylee's personal challenges - so lovely. Some hilarious moments with characters from previous stories in this series, who showed both the challenges of being a parent, but also that closeness and sexy times didn’t stop when they became parents. This one was on my 2018 Favourites List.

Have my Baby: Really enjoyed this book, it was funny, romantic with a little antsy thrown in. The depth of the characters built quickly, before I knew it I couldn’t put the book down! Ally and Seth have been friends since they were little, one always wanted more, while the other was happy just being friends. Oh my god, Seth’s adorable little girl is hoot. When Seth decided he wanted to have another child but doesn’t want a wife. He decides his best friend and him can help each other….its a win/win. What happens when he presents his best friend with his win/win contract is where it gets good.
Claim my Baby: Another great book to continue the series. Really found the characters engaging and hilarious. Sage with her no filters thoughts had me laughing out loud quite a few times through this book. Oliver is the surprise, at first glance image he comes across as complete business oriented and not looking for anything remotely like a serious relationship, the insight to how caring and romantic he really is, really grab me and I couldn’t wait to read what he was going to do or say next. . The relationship building process in this book is definitely backwards.
Who’s the daddy: I really enjoyed reading this romcom. It will for sure having you laughing and swooning frequently. Kelsey is a teacher and has a job she really enjoys, trying to get a fresh start. Kelsey with her awkwardness and ramblings, made her just so adorable and likeable. Many times it felt like I was right there hanging out with friends.
Dare is a single dad, has little to no free time. He is a man of little words and is always doing what he feels is the right thing. He reminded me so much of my husband. I totally recommend this book, you won’t be disappointed.

Pit Stop:Baby: Out of all the DILF’s so far, have to say this one is my favorite. An amazing quirky funny and of course steamy story. This story had me laughing one minute and swooning the next. This book ended to soon, I really could use more of Gage and Rylee.

This is a nice collection of standalones in and around Crescent Cove, where the water is sure to get the heroine preggers. These are fun, quick romantic reads. Here's my review from Who's the Daddy.

I read a lot of romance, and most of the time I want some really good conflict to spice up the story and keep a quick pace. But sometimes I'm looking for something for something with just a smidge of conflict and a real sweet story. Who's the Daddy hits that sweetness right in the bullseye.

Kelsey is looking for a fresh start after breaking it off with her boyfriend. Taking off to a new town and a new job, Kelsey is excited to start her new life with some new friends. She's even up for some no-strings sex with the incredibly hot pizza delivery guy.

Dare is a single father with lots of responsibilities, including a first grader named Wes who he loves dearly. He's also super hot in that growly sort of way. The attraction he feels for Kelsey grows especially after another night of headboard banging sex.

When Kelsey suddenly develops a "flu", it's so adorable that it's Dare that figures it out, although he acts like a "pushy barbarian" as Kelsey calls him. I loved this part of the book. She's in total avoidance and for Dare it seems like everything just falls into place. Everything from this point on is sort of a whirlwind and I loved that about it.

So, super hot guy, totally adorable girl, super cute first-grader... what more could you ask for? Oh, there is a little bit of an issue since Kelsey slept with her ex right around the same time. This provides a touch of conflict, but Dare's reaction to this complication is just so wonderful. Is there nothing quite so lovely as a man who is devoted to family?

I devoured this book in a couple of nights. It's sweet and sexy and really just so much fun. If you are looking for something light and steamy, with a nice touch of humor and a good secondary cast of characters, this just might be a good choice.

Have My Baby: They've been friends for a long time and now he's viewing her in a different light, asking her to give him another child. She has been in love with him from day one at 15 years old and had to hide it for all these years. Being best friends with him is hard, but they need each other that way. Watching him as he hooks up with other women, gets married and has a baby with another woman. Until he asks her to get pregnant. That changes everything she ever though about him. This is a really good friends to lovers story, and shows them grow and learn more about each other in a very short span of time. And when they get together---hot hot hot!

Claim My Baby: From frenemies to lovers in the course of a weekend. This book is interesting to watch happen. I loved the first book of the series and this is an amazing follow up. We get more of Ally and Seth since she is Sage's best friend and he is Oliver's twin. Oliver and Sage could not be more different just looking at them, but they have more in common as things progress. They are both lost in their own ways. People don't see him for who he is at all, including his own brother. She apparently has no clue how to get a guy and keep him and wants the fairy tale until her libido tells her it's time to get some needs taken care of. I liked watching them figure it out.

Pit Stop: Baby: Poor Gage can’t seem to get anyone to believe he is going to stick around, especially Rylee—the one night stand he wants to be more. Throw in her issues and hormones and there is a recipe for trouble. I like to stories of this series interweaving.

Great way to start this wonderful series.

Have my baby
I absolutely loved this quick awesome read by Taryn Quinn. Ally is a great character that never told her best friend how much she loved her best friend and helped him raise his little girl. Seth wants another child and asks Ally to be the coparent since they are such great friends. What could go wrong. Taryn Quinn has one it again and has written a book that you don't wAnt to put down.

Claim my baby
This was an absolutely awesome read and second part of the series. Oliver and Sage are so funny and great together. Having them in Vegas then back home was great. Taryn Quinn never disappointed in this story and of course also having ally and Seth and of course Laurie from the first boom in this series was so great. I can’t wait for the next edition if the dirty DILF’s.

Who’s the daddy
I loved this book, Dare and Kelsey were a breathe of fresh air. They started off as just a quick hook up but ended as so much more. Taryn Quinn again wrote a book I could not put down. They kept all of the characters from other books but you didn’t have to read them to know what was going on but I recommend you do because this is a great series and can’t wait for the next installment.

Pit stop baby
I loved Rylee and Gages story. These two are so fun and when they start to learn about each other it’s great. Macy also is so great in the this story. I could not put this book down. I cannot wait for the next installment in this series from Taryn Quinn.

I loved all four of these books. Here are my reviews for two of the four, so you can see for yourself. Whenever Taryn Quinn has a new book, I always read it ASAP.

Have My Baby

This was a great book! Seth was a single Dad. He did not need a woman in his life but he wanted another child. Not wanting any strings, he asks his best friend Ally to be the mother. What could be better? Ally has been best friends with Seth forever. Could she give him the child he wants without asking for more from him? What if she has secretly been in love with him? I enjoyed this lighthearted story of two people seeing each other in a whole new light and finding their HEA. Add in a very cute daughter and you have a story I could not put down.

Claim My Baby

We met Oliver and Sage in Have My Baby, the fantastic story about Seth and Ally. Now Oliver and Sage have their own book which I thought was so romantic and very clever. Oliver is the twin brother to Seth, and Sage is the best friend to Ally. Oliver and Sage are not friends but when asked Oliver surprises Sage and accompanies her to Vegas as a favor to keep her safe. While there their story develops. As they spend time together romance develops but can it live past Vegas? Once they get home they both must decide where to go with their relationship. Add in a baby and the story gets even more interesting. I just love the writing style of Taryn Quinn. It is filled with plenty of drama but is also lighthearted that makes it great.

Loving this series!

Have My Baby - What a great read! I really enjoyed Seth and Ally. I loved watching them finally give into their feelings and Seth fall for Ally. I did get tired of Ally always running but then again I understood it as well because she didn't know where Seth stood. I loved Laurie as well and watching them become a family! I can't wait for Sage and Oliver's story!

Claim My Baby - I absolutely loved Oliver and Sage! Oliver is definitely the hotter twin between him and Seth if you ask me. I loved how he romanced Sage and the little things he made and gave her. He was such a sweetie and then would turn in on in the bedroom. Great book!

Who's the Daddy - I enjoyed this book - especially Dare. Man he was HOT! I loved how him and Kelsey couldn't stay away from each other. I loved how he stepped up. Kelsey was sweet to start with but she got a little annoying in a few times to me with how "quickly" she was having baby brain and being crazy. It doesn't happen that fast but I kept on because of Dare.

Pit Stop: Baby - I really enjoyed this book. I loved Gage from the get go. Rylee grew on me. I love them together and love how he was there from the beginning and ahead of her on the feelings on all. Great couple! OI also enjoyed how Gage and Dare finally started talking and getting along. I really wanted to slap Dare and Kelsey when they were giving them so much headache on things especially after all they had done without giving Gage a chance.

Have My Baby:
Have My Baby is the first book in the Cresant Cove Series. Seth and Ally's story is a sweet, sexy and funny friends to lovers story. I loved this angsty sweet love story.

Claim My Baby:
Claim My Baby is the second book in the Cresant Cove Series. It's full of comedic banter between Oliver and Sage. Until their trip to Vegas they considered each other as frenemies were they reevaluate that status. Loved this book it has humor and angst.

Who's The Daddy:
Who's the Daddy is the third book in the Cesant Cove serires. I loved Dare and Kelsey's story. They were just supposed to have no strings attached hook ups but life throws them a monkey wrench. Dare is any single dad trying to make ends meet and Kelsey is a elementary school teacher. Great book it keeps you wanting to know more about the characters and we get to revisit Ally and Sage.

Pit Stop Baby:
Pit Stop: Baby is the fourth book in the Cesant Cove Series. Gage and Rylee will melt your hearts and make you swoon. Rylee is off on her own trying to figure out how to do the adulting thing. Gage is done with racing and ready for the next stadge in life. When they meet it was supposed to be one night no name exchange. This is a great funny romance that makes you melt for Gage and root for Rylee.

Christmas has come early! If you haven't had a chance to read about the dad's in the Crescent Cove Series here is the best way to get 4 of them right away!

You will be blown away by Taryn Quinn's humor, seriously the dialogue between each of these characters is laugh out loud funny and it seriously keeps you wanting to read more. You will die when you read how sexy the love scenes are, they add to the passion and mystique of this little town of Crescent Cove with the magical pregnancy water. The females are STRONG, INTELLIGENT, FIERCE AND BEST FRIEND STATUS WORTHY. You will want to befriend these women and join them in their quest for a happily ever after. The men.....ohhhemmmgeeeee....the men are scrumptiously deliciously handsome and so freaking amazing for loving their women the way they do.

I can not praise this duo that is Taryn Quinn enough because they are fabulous. The world that they create in Crescent Cove is on that every single person should read ASAP.

Pick it up, you'll love it just like I did.

It's like there's something in the water in Crescent Cove, NY! I mean, legit, it's baby central, but it's the getting to Babyville that's the most fun. The lovely ladies that write as Taryn Quinn know how to write the heck out of this trope, and I can't get enough.

There is not one unlikeable character in all of this town, for the most part, and whether it's friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, brother's best friend that's now a lover, what have you, these characters and their stories are sweet, sexy, and absolutely steamy as all get out. SANTA BABY is the gift that keeps giving, and you definitely don't want to miss out. Grab it for yourself, or ask Santa to drop it special delivery into your stocking, but whatever you do, make sure that you get a copy, and enjoy.

banter best-of-romcom cast

This is books 1-4 of the cresent cove series. The stories are so well wooven they leave you yearning for more.
Have my baby
This books is about best friends who have been in love with each other but never acted on it each believing that the other was not interested until Seth propositioned Ally to have his baby. What follows is an emotional love story that is so well woven.
Claim my baby
The story of Sage and Oliver is sweet, sexy and funny. Their unending banter, their sex life and their love is so real.
Who's the daddy
What a read. I have laughed, cried, been sad and even fallen in love with the charaters. Kels and Dare are just magical. so real and well developed. I loved this story so much.
Great read!
Pit Stop Baby
Gage and Rylee's story. A one night stand and hen they find out that they are about to become family when their siblings marry and ooh there is a surprises baby. so magical. The stuff of dreams.
A series that no one should miss.

This is an amazing, must-read series. Taryn Quinn has created a quaint fictional town bustling with a loveable, quirky, relatable cast of characters who will quickly burrow their way into your heart.

The series kicks off with Seth & Ally in a friends to lovers’ rom-com. Each new book spotlights a different couple who find love, a baby, and their own HEA. The storylines are unique to every couple, but also prominently feature previous characters and introduce new ones who may get their own story in the future. I particularly love the glimpse into the current lives of the couples who already found their HEAs in earlier books, especially my favorites of which I have many.

This is a fun, often sweet, always snarky and oh-so-steamy series that shouldn’t be missed. But fair warning: bring your own water unless you’re ready to risk a precious lil bundle arriving in 9 months. The water in Crescent Cove seems to be magical.

3 1/2 Stars
Each of these books were great on their own or read together but what lost stars for me is that this has NOTHING to do with Christmas! I kept waiting for some reason why these were sold as a Christmas bundle and it wasn’t there. If I had found each book on its own I probably would have rated it higher or even just as a baby daddy set but to name this Santa Baby and try to use the Christmas angle just ticked me off. I started reading this a week before Christmas because I was ready for that special Christmas magic romance and I got nothing!
As far as the books go, I preferred the first two over the second two and the third more than the fourth. The last one was disappointing in that we hardly saw the first 3 couples and that’s what keeps me reading in a series. I probably would’ve enjoyed them more if I hadn’t gone into it expecting something that wasn’t there. I’m not sure yet if I want to carry on even though I’m slightly interested in Vee and Moose.

I have all these books, purchased separately. imagine how much I'd have saved buying them all at once like this! it's a gateway drug into their other series, Lost in Oblivion and it's worth getting addicted to. you meet people you'd either love to hang out with, slap upside the head or drool overall at the same time. and you get four (count 'em! FOUR!) books in one volume. the characters are well developed, enjoyable, and fun to read about. I can highly recommend them but beware, you'll want to read their other books (and I can even recommend their Oblivion series even more!!!!) once you get a taste of their writing it's like a box of great chocolate, you cannot stop at one. you'll want to gobble them down. this is the perfect buy for a Veterans day read or over the Thanksgiving day weekend.

Taryn Quinn, the dynamic duo, have put together an astounding collection for the holidays. You will love the characters of Crescent Cove as they become your book families. The first four books in the series are included.
Have My Baby - Seth and Ally's best friends to lovers journey.
Claim My Baby - Oliver and Sage frenamies to lovers while together on a trip to Vegas.
Who's The Daddy - Dave and Kelsey, teacher meets mechanic delivering her a pizza.
Pit Stop Baby - Gage and Rylee, former race car driver hooks up with Rylee at her sister's wedding.
Each story has great characters, introducing the reader to what goes on in the lives of Crescent Cove residents in cluding all the babies. The stories are romantic, funny, steamy, well written that I highly recommend.

The residents of Crescent Cove are so much fun to get to know.
Have My Baby, If you're looking for a single dad romance you'll want to meet Seth. This romance delivers with hot sexy scenes, fun, and humor!
Who's the Daddy, When Kelsey and Dare get close the sparks will ignite. Between this couple, you get a sexy, romantic, and somewhat naughty story to read.
Pit Stop Baby, Gage, and Rylee are made to be together. Rylee will have you laughing at times, and Gage will have you swooning at others.
In Claim My Baby you get to meet Oliver and Sage. You won't want to miss their Vegas adventure.
All four are really good stories.
