Blog Tour/Review ♥ One Baby Daddy by Meghan Quinn ♥

"What are you doing now that your team is out of the running for the Stanley Cup?"

Forget.

I need to forget. I need an escape.

Only one person isn't falling for my reputation as the NHL's Golden Boy; she captured my attention the minute she called me out for snooping through my best friend's house. She didn't want to hear my reason--she only wanted to playfully give me a hard time.

Adalyn is bold, sassy--and the perfect escape.

She's everywhere. In town and in my dreams, and suddenly I need to spend every waking moment with her.

And I do, making this summer the best off-season I've ever had.

But in the midst of getting lost in Adalyn, what I don't expect is to get her pregnant.

And what I definitely don't expect is having to fight for her affection.

A Review by Wendy

 3.5 All For Hayden Stars
* * * 1/2

We met Hayden in Three Blind Dates. From the first moment, he was special and I knew Meghan Quinn would write a doozy of a book for him. This was a man who had class, determination and old school charm. 

Well, those old school ways get tested time and time again when you are flying down the ice working to capture the Stanley Cup. Hayden gets smacked one too many times by another player and ends up throwing down and fighting him on the ice. This causes him going to the penalty box and the time off the ice was not the greatest for the team. They do not advance to the next level and the season is over. To add insult to injury, a smart ass reporter won't leave Hayden alone causing words to be exchanged on camera. A truly lousy way to end the season.

Instead of going back to his empty Philadelphia apartment or to his family's home... not wanting to hear his dad lecture him, he decides to go to Binghamton where he did college. There his best friend Racer has always been there for him. He makes his arrangements and gets on the road.

Racer promised a gathering and when Hayden arrives he looks for his old friends...Racer laughs and says he meant he would have his friends over...Hayden laughs and settles in by going to the kitchen for a beer. There he crosses paths with a woman named Adalyn. She is quick witted and he likes that she isn't treating him special like all the women he sees on the hockey circuit. They seem to have a couple of moments and then Racer steps in and tells the both of them they are off limits ... no mixing...

Hayden is curious... and watches to see if this Adalyn is attached to Racer... and no, it is more like a looking out for her thing. It seems Adalyn not too long ago got her heart a bit smashed ... and Racer was the one whose shoulder she cried on. He just doesn't want her hurt again.

Hayden gets it but this Adalyn is not like anyone he has met... she is sarcastic and can be blunt but funny. He wishes he got her number that night and tries to figure out how to find her.

Adalyn is now starting her career as a nurse. She loves taking care of people but it also can be very hard emotionally. She is finding her way.

She is also finding her way when it comes to relationships..as she hasn't had one. She has had hook ups but nothing that would last. Studying for all of the complex nursing classes will leave no time for anything. She has made friends who are important to her but real romantic relationships, no.

Hayden knows he is only going to be in town for a few weeks but he is drawn to Adalyn. He searches for her and once he finds her it is game on... in his wanting to get to know her better. He senses there might be something special about this girl and he wants to lay a foundation.

As we read this story, we are there as Hayden actually does modern day courting... he is just the best and the feel of these two learning about each other is Everything. There were moments between these two which just made you read with a silly grin on your face.

Then things, like life, took a detour and turn.

But Hayden was not going to let this woman slip away from him. She was it for him and we see all the ways he goes about showing his devotion to her.

I am a huge Meghan Quinn fan and this series has been a winner for me...however, the main winner in this book was Hayden. Adalyn had shown promise in the first half however, as the story continued,  her sparkle faded.

I will say Hayden is worth the price of admission. You will love him.

Excerpt

“Would you mind zipping up the back of my dress?” She walks toward me, her flowery scent floating in my direction, spiking my yearning into overdrive.

“Uh, yeah . . . sure.”

She turns around, and looks over her shoulder. The back of her dress is completely open, the zipper undone to just above the curve of her beautifully round ass.

Shit, all that smooth, tan skin, covered by nothing but the velvety fabric of the dress. Is she wearing underwear? She’s not wearing a bra and I see no panty line.

Clearing my throat, I ask, “Are you wearing underwear, Adalyn?”

From over her shoulder, she smiles shyly. “Yes, it’s small though.”

Of course it is. Why wouldn’t it be?

Not being able to stop myself, I take a second to float my fingertips up her spine. From the initial touch, her back arches and a small gasp releases from her lips, but before I can think about stopping, she melts into my touch. Stepping closer, I place my hand on the back of her hip, my thumb pressing into her ass while the other hand explores the bare expanse of her back. Her head falls to my shoulder. Her lips part, and when I snake to the front of her dress, her breath hitches.

Eyes closed, I take in ragged breaths, my fingers inching closer and closer to her front, my cock painfully hard.

It’s been so goddamn long—and being with Adalyn has only spurred on my need—but I want to make sure we’re in a good place before we commit to anything. I want to make sure she’s ready emotionally because the minute I bury myself deep inside her, I know there will be no turning back. She will be mine forever.

But maybe for now, I can just have a little touch . . .

My cock pressed against her butt, she expertly grinds her backside into me, her hands moving to my neck, pulling my head down to hers. I kiss the side of her neck, using the hand that’s gripping her hips to guide her with her grinding in just the right place.

Fuck, that feels good.

I grunt, the sound vibrating over her sleek neck. My hand on her stomach, she arches wanting more of my touch, silently asking me to move north.

And I fucking comply. Inch by slow inch, I guide my hand to just below her breasts. When I halt my pursuit, a displeased groan escapes her.

“Hayden, please.”

I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to find the willpower. Her fingernails dig into my scalp, spurring me on as she turns her head and finds my lips.

She kisses me.

Hot.

Wet.

Needy.

Her lips gliding across mine, her tongue diving into my mouth, her moans are vocal and sexy. Her delicious ass, pressing, grinding, undulating against my rock-hard cock makes me want to do so much more, makes me want to taste so much more.

Moving my hand higher, my fingertips graze the bottom of her breast. Soft. Round. Smooth. I caress her right below her nipple, never touching, just teasing . . . tempting.






Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!
