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 -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 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 - 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!
Baby Daddy Wanted - This book is about Vee (Veronica), the cute baker at Brewed Awakenings. She's decided that she wants to have a baby but doesn't want to wait to find true love so she posts an ad. Unfortunately, she posts it in the quiet town's FB page for all to see. Before she knows it, everyone's talking about her post.
But then there's Moose (Murphy Masterson). He's always been enamored with Veronica but for some reason, he gets all tongue tied around her. To make it worse, Vee, likes him but she seems to say the wrong things around him and even though they see each other almost every day, nothing happens.
But then Moose decides to send a note to Vee under his company's name (a company that no one seems to know about) - Cabin Fortress. They hit it off!
But now Vee is torn between wanting to get to know Cabin Fortress more and wanting Moose.
The first half of the book is about these two dancing around each other while the second half is them really getting to know each other and deciding to take this to the next level.
Another really sweet story from Crescent Cove!
Rockstar Baby - I really enjoyed this fun read about Rory and Ivy. Rory is passing through on his way to work with Kellan on his latest song when he gets stuck in a snowstorm and meets Ivy. While Rory comes across as this brooding Irishman, Ivy is this fun loving "fairy" as he calls her. She works three different jobs and has a dream of owning an ice cream truck. After meeting Rory at the diner, Ivy heads back to his room at the B&B. Of course, she has to drop and make snow angels in the ground first. After an amazing night and day together, Rory heads back to California and his life without Ivy. He didn't even bother to get her phone number even though she never left his thoughts. Kellan is ready to work with Rory again, and Rory can't wait to go back and see Ivy. This time he brings her along to meet his "friends", these famous singers. While Rory is totally smitten with Ivy, he wasn't ready for this and isn't quite sure how to handle it so he runs off to Ireland to see his family. But as all moms do, she immediately knows that he's having girl troubles and sends him on his way. Little does he know but Ivy has a big surprise for him even though she's pretty much given up on him. This was such a fun read! I love this Crescent Cove series!
However I really can't wait for August and Kinleigh!
Daddy in Disguise - Macy is the owner of Brewed Awakenings. The best coffee shop in town. She creates special blends for her customers that keep them coming back for more. Macy is quite sassy and you can't help but love her. She also has an obsession with all things Halloween.
Macy and Gideon have been dancing around each other with nothing brewing, until now. But surprise! Gideon has an ex and an 8 year old daughter! Macy's not a fan of kids and we don't know why. But Dani (Gideon's daughter) posts pictures of him online which make him the hottest dad around and women flock to come meet him. How can he fend them off, by fake dating Macy but the ex appears.
You can't help but route for Macy and Gideon and Dani is hysterical. Of course, their path isn't smooth sailing but you definitely want to go on this ride. I love Gideon and Macy (and Dani too!)

Get ready to FALL in love with a series!!! If you haven't read Taryn Quinn's Crescent Cove series you are in luck! The first 7 books are all in one book!!!
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.
Claim My Baby:
LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!
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.
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
Swoon alert!!!
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!!
Baby Daddy Wanted:
Such a fun read!!!
Baby Daddy Wanted is my new favorite story out of Crescent Cove!! Veronica is the quirky pastry chef with rainbow tipped hair and she wants a baby. She done waiting for Mr. Right. So what's a girl to do? Place an ad of course! Of course that doesn't go as planned but it does get shy Murphy out of his shell and talking to Veronica. I absolutely loved the banter between these characters, Taryn Quinn was right on the money with these two!
Rockstar Baby:
Every once in awhile a book comes along that completely blows me away. Rockstar Baby is one of those books. I have always enjoyed Taryn Quinn's books, so I expected an enjoyable read.....I got way more than that. I got a major book hangover and I'm left with so many feels.
Rory is a "rockstar" of sorts. He's more of producer of rock songs, who blows into Crescent Cove during a snow storm. That's where he encounters Ivy. They just fit so well together, right from the start. Their witty banter, their chemistry, they just fit. But Rory, he lives across the country in L.A. and Ivy, she'd never leave her home town, she has dreams.
Gah! This storyline is just written so brilliantly and packed with so many feels. Bonus......Ian Kagan(IYKYK)!!
Daddy in Disguise:
I just finished Daddy in Disguise and I am feeling so many feels right now!!
Macey and Gideon have been circling around each other for a couple of years now. Her full of snark and him doing what he can to bring out it. It was their foreplay really. Since the start of this series I have been dying to know her story. To find out why she seemed so cold one minute but really has a heart of gold and would do anything for the ones she cares about. Gideon, he is just so swoony and really seems to know what makes her tick. Gah!!! I loved watching them get their HEA!! Along the way I laughed and I got a bit teary eyed, especially at the end....they were all happy tears.
Bonus!!! A bonus screen with Macy and Gideon from Daddy in Disguise!!!

Absolutely love the stories in this box set.
Have My Baby - Ally and Seth are life long friends who have hidden their feelings from each other for so long that when they finally get their head out of their asses and act on those feelings hot steamy scenes become the reality.
This is a sweet romance with heartwarming moments that will have you feeling Ally's pain. You'll Laurie and her sweet ways. She'll make you laugh. As will Sage, Ally's friend. I even like Oliver, Seth's twin though at times he was a bit of a grump.
Claim My Baby - This is a great story that follows Seth's twin brother - Oliver and Ally's BFF - Sage. Oliver and Sage are frenemies, always sniping at each other.
When Sage goes to Vegas alone Ally asks Oliver to go with her and keep an eye on her so she stays out of trouble.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas and this is true with Oliver and Sage.
This is a story that the reader will want to finish to see how Sage deals with letting Oliver in when those who she loves have always let her down. And watching Oliver find out that love isn't as bad as he thinks it is from his won parent's relationship.
I think what I liked the most was that who Oliver and Sage really are is not seen by those closest to them - Ally and Seth. Neither is willing to give these two the opportunity to be themselves.
It was fun watching Oliver and Sage go backwards in their relationship - have sex and a surprise - then get to know each other.
Can these two find their HEA when those around them aren't willing to let them be them?
Get Valentine's Day read.
Who's the Daddy - Kelsey and Dare both have some baggage but when they come together all is right with the world. These two characters are rather true to life. Kelsey with her down to earth innocence and Dare with his blue collar single life style.
These two could be your friends.
Pit Stop Baby - Gage and Rylee are two character that have chemistry that pops off the page. But what I think I love most about them is how easy it was to relate to them. Both have siblings who seem to have it all together and they are the ones who not "fit in a mold."
Rylee has had some problems and she is trying to get her life together but everyone just sees that she hasn't held a job for long and her confidence took a hit when her previous boyfriends made her feel bad because of her sleepwalking. She is stronger than she thinks.
Gage has succeeded in his career but now realizes he wants something else. He just doesn't know what.
When they find out about the baby both are committed to the baby but doubts from others creep in.
Baby Daddy Wanted - Veronica with her brightly colored hair easily talks to everyone, but she is desperately looking for someone to love her. Thus the baby ad.
Murphy is a hulking man who is shy around most people. And the beautiful baker has him tongue tied.
These two characters are so likable and relatable to the reader. You can feel their attraction to each other and how neither thinks the other sees them.
When fate, or a misplaced ad, brings them together, nothing can stop the chemistry.
Rockstar Baby - Roy just needed the right woman to open his heart and let him live again. He has so much to offer to Ivy and his friends he is just to fearful of what he could loose.
Ivy is a great female character. She is strong and confident and wasn't afraid to go after what she wanted. When she gets pregnant she finds her strength.
You'll hope that these two get together and that Rory learns to open up to both Ivy and his friends.
Daddy in Disguise - Macy has formed a wall around her heart after her last heartbreak. She's surprised that Gideon starts her blood pumping and makes her want to forget her past.
Gideon has his own secrets and is trying to just be a good man. His daughter is his priority, but Macy is his obsession.
What happens when Macy, very anti kid, finds out the man she wants has a daughter?
As these two stop dancing around each other they may find they fit together perfectly.
The story flows well and the hard nose Macy is shown to have a soft goey center.
Gideon is a man who knows who he wants.
Dani, his daughter, is a sweet addition.
Of course this being Crescent Cove a baby must be involved.
I loved every single one of these Crescent Cove stories. They'll become your friends.
Have My Baby - Ally and Seth are life long friends who have hidden their feelings from each other for so long that when they finally get their head out of their asses and act on those feelings hot steamy scenes become the reality.
This is a sweet romance with heartwarming moments that will have you feeling Ally's pain. You'll Laurie and her sweet ways. She'll make you laugh. As will Sage, Ally's friend. I even like Oliver, Seth's twin though at times he was a bit of a grump.
Claim My Baby - This is a great story that follows Seth's twin brother - Oliver and Ally's BFF - Sage. Oliver and Sage are frenemies, always sniping at each other.
When Sage goes to Vegas alone Ally asks Oliver to go with her and keep an eye on her so she stays out of trouble.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas and this is true with Oliver and Sage.
This is a story that the reader will want to finish to see how Sage deals with letting Oliver in when those who she loves have always let her down. And watching Oliver find out that love isn't as bad as he thinks it is from his won parent's relationship.
I think what I liked the most was that who Oliver and Sage really are is not seen by those closest to them - Ally and Seth. Neither is willing to give these two the opportunity to be themselves.
It was fun watching Oliver and Sage go backwards in their relationship - have sex and a surprise - then get to know each other.
Can these two find their HEA when those around them aren't willing to let them be them?
Get Valentine's Day read.
Who's the Daddy - Kelsey and Dare both have some baggage but when they come together all is right with the world. These two characters are rather true to life. Kelsey with her down to earth innocence and Dare with his blue collar single life style.
These two could be your friends.
Pit Stop Baby - Gage and Rylee are two character that have chemistry that pops off the page. But what I think I love most about them is how easy it was to relate to them. Both have siblings who seem to have it all together and they are the ones who not "fit in a mold."
Rylee has had some problems and she is trying to get her life together but everyone just sees that she hasn't held a job for long and her confidence took a hit when her previous boyfriends made her feel bad because of her sleepwalking. She is stronger than she thinks.
Gage has succeeded in his career but now realizes he wants something else. He just doesn't know what.
When they find out about the baby both are committed to the baby but doubts from others creep in.
Baby Daddy Wanted - Veronica with her brightly colored hair easily talks to everyone, but she is desperately looking for someone to love her. Thus the baby ad.
Murphy is a hulking man who is shy around most people. And the beautiful baker has him tongue tied.
These two characters are so likable and relatable to the reader. You can feel their attraction to each other and how neither thinks the other sees them.
When fate, or a misplaced ad, brings them together, nothing can stop the chemistry.
Rockstar Baby - Roy just needed the right woman to open his heart and let him live again. He has so much to offer to Ivy and his friends he is just to fearful of what he could loose.
Ivy is a great female character. She is strong and confident and wasn't afraid to go after what she wanted. When she gets pregnant she finds her strength.
You'll hope that these two get together and that Rory learns to open up to both Ivy and his friends.
Daddy in Disguise - Macy has formed a wall around her heart after her last heartbreak. She's surprised that Gideon starts her blood pumping and makes her want to forget her past.
Gideon has his own secrets and is trying to just be a good man. His daughter is his priority, but Macy is his obsession.
What happens when Macy, very anti kid, finds out the man she wants has a daughter?
As these two stop dancing around each other they may find they fit together perfectly.
The story flows well and the hard nose Macy is shown to have a soft goey center.
Gideon is a man who knows who he wants.
Dani, his daughter, is a sweet addition.
Of course this being Crescent Cove a baby must be involved.
I loved every single one of these Crescent Cove stories. They'll become your friends.

1.Have My Baby:
Seth, also known as “hook-up Seth,” was best friend with Ally since teens.
Seth has one little girl and one divorce down when his daughter asked for a baby brother or sister. Seth begins to think about Ally, his best friend. He even said, “This bad--s chick was my best friend…who just happened to have a pair of t--s. “Hook up Seth decides to ask Ally “Will you have my baby?”. “He’s just a friend coming with a simple request.”: From that request (and Seth is not talking artificial insemination) discover a love that had always been there. How Seth’s request to Ally turns into reality must be read. This story hooked me into the series.
2.Claim My Baby:
Their hookup happened on a trip to Las Vegas. Oliver is Seth’s much more uptight identical twin who is also a real estate agent. Sage works at the diner as a waitress, and she is Ally’s bestie. Sage won an all-inclusive Las Vegas trip which Ally talks Oliver into going along to keep an eye on Sage, who says, “her cob-webbed lady garden is in sad shape and needs some action”. They are two people that that constantly antagonize each other at every turn, yet find not just a passion but fall in. love. Believe me, the action in Vegas is hot! The hot tub scene is smoldering!
3.Who’s the Daddy?
Dare, an auto mechanic who is helping his parents’ pizza delivery business has an instant attraction with Kelsey, a primary teacher. Their hookup was a result of a Pizza delivery that began with flirting that ended with mutual consent benefits. Kelsey was Alison's Dare’s son’s Wes’ teacher which created more reasons to encounter each other. This book is sooo good I had to put in my audiobook and listen to it again.
4. Pitstop Baby:
Rylee is Kelsey’s little sister and a florist. They found each other at Rylee’s flower shop when Gage, a discontent Race Car Driver, comes in to buy flowers for his mom. They hooked up the night before Dare’s wedding, without either knowing the other’s relationship to the bride and groom. Dare is brother to the groom and Rylee is the bride’s little sister.
Gage says, “A woman who didn’t want strings and no do-overs. I had been should had been a perfect way to spend the night. And it had been. The problem was it had left me wanting more.” You will have to read to see how his wanting more plays out when he sees Rylee again on his next visit.
5. Baby Daddy Wanted:
Veronica is a coffee shop baker for Brewed Awakenings, while Moose works in construction as well as being a computer program developer in his spare time. Veronica or V placed newspaper wanted ads for “Baby Daddy Wanted” in the real town want ads instead of the “single seeks…” want ads.
“BABY DADDY WANTED
Single, personable woman seeking a man for procreation. I wouldn’t mind if he looked like Chis Pratt, but that’s not required. No further interaction with the child is necessary
unless desired by the father-to-be. The child will be created the old-fashioned way, assuming both parties agree. Contact V at goodtothelasdrop.”
Now, all the town knows what V wants. An online email romance turns real as the screening of the candidates takes place.
6. Rockstar Baby
Rory, who is also Irish is in town to help Kellan, a Rockstar married to a local girl, with a new album. The hook-up takes place after Rory meets Ivy when she takes his order at the Diner. They decide to continue their evening together in his room back at the Hummingbird Inn where the magic happened. When Rory returns to help Kellan again and seeks out Ivy, he discovers their magic created something extra. Such a fun book, a favorite of mine.
7.Daddy in Disguise:
John Gideon, single dad, and construction owner, and Macy, the owner of Brewed Awakening were attracted to one another. But who makes the first move to get their hook-up to take place? Macy contracted Gideon to build her horror-themed restaurant which brings them into constant contact. Mmmm so the shenanigans begin by throwing in Gideons ’movie star ex-wife, his daughter posting a shirtless picture of her dad in a date want ad that causes women to flock to Crescent Cove, and lastly, throw in with a few kisses between Gideon and Macy before the whole town. Uh- hah, lots of fun. All the above books are a must-read. To have them all in one place is wonderful.
Seth, also known as “hook-up Seth,” was best friend with Ally since teens.
Seth has one little girl and one divorce down when his daughter asked for a baby brother or sister. Seth begins to think about Ally, his best friend.

* * * * * * * * * * *
HAVE MY BABY is a fun friends-to-lovers, single dad, virgin story told in alternating first-person perspective. Four stars!
Seth Hamilton and Alison Lawrence have been best friends for years, and Ally’s been in love with Seth for nearly that long. But she’s kept her eyes strictly on their long-standing friendship, and cherishes the time she spends with Seth and his cutie-pie almost-four year old daughter. The one who wants a baby sister...
So Seth, who absolutely, definitely does not want another relationship, asks Ally, the only woman he trusts, if she’d consider making a baby with him. As you do.
An entertaining tale as these two figure out what everyone around them can clearly see—they’re meant for each other, and not just for making babies. Although that too...
What a fun intro to Crescent Cove!
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Four and a half stars for CLAIM MY BABY, the second in the Crescent Cove series . It’s a delicious frenemies to lovers, virgin heroine, straight laced hero (who is a reputed man whore) story told in alternating first person perspective.
Sage Evans and Oliver Hamilton have always gotten along about as well as cats in a bag. Which is to say, pretty much not at all. Sarcastic quips rule the day, and when her very pregnant BFF Ally can’t go with her to Vegas for a weekend away, Ally enlists her BiL Oliver to help keep a protective eye on Sage for her.
It’s a hoot watching these two find common ground and act on the sizzling attraction sparking between them. No one is more surprised than they are when what happens in Vegas doesn’t want to stay in Vegas!
An all together delightful read!
* * * * * * * * * *

Kelsey Ford is a new teacher in town, and is shocked and dismayed that her one attempt to cut loose and walk on the wild side results in a positive pregnancy test. Dare Kramer is a mechanic and former race-car driver who is utterly entranced by Kelsey. He hasn’t made time for socializing in eons, what with having a six-year-old son, but one time with Kelsey and he’s hooked.
A charming path to these two’s HEA.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Four and a half stars for PIT STOP: BABY! It's the fourth in Taryn Quinn’s Crescent Cove series. Something’s in the water, because it’s an epidemic of baby making in town with the super hot guys and cute/quirky/funny women falling into bed and then falling into parenthood.
Rylee Ford has always seen herself as the flaky younger sister. So it comes as absolutely no surprise when of course the amazing one night stand turns out to be none other than her new brother-in-law. And she, yep, turns out to be joining the ranks of the knocked up...
Despite being a very successful race-car driver, Gage’s family still thinks of him as the can’t commit younger brother. When he falls for the spitfire who told him one and done, he’s got to find a way to make everyone understand he’s in it for the long haul.
Entertaining and page turning fantasy in the best ways, with heartwarming characters and laugh out loud dialogue, Taryn and Cari do it again! Can’t wait for more Crescent Cove shenanigans!

This is a romantic comedy collection set in the cozy lakeside small town of Crescent Cove in Upper NY: Book 1, HAVE MY BABY: About 3/4ths of the way through I realized I had read this long ago as a solo story. Seth and Laurie have been best friends all through and beyond high school. She has spent the last 10 years caring for her declining health mom who recently passed away. He got tricked into marriage via pregnancy then divorced. Now his little girl wants a sibling, So Seth asks Laurie to have his baby. He has a contract for it that promises her a college education she has wanted in exchange for a sibling his daughter wants. Yeah, right, not. So, how does this horrible idea turn out into a HEA. That’s the story. Book 2, CLAIM MY BABY: In book 1 Sage was Laurie’s best friend, so we start the book already knowing a lot about her. Sage won a radio game weekend in Vegas that she kept putting off. When she finally goes, friend Ally from book 1 surprised her by sending her bro-in-law – straight laced Oliver – as her chaperone. He is Sage’s frenemy. You guessed it, Vegas hookup and pregnant. This is another story with crazy hot sex and lots of laughter. Book 3, WHO’S THE DADDY?: Kelsey is introduced in Book 2 as the new Catholic school teacher who is over-eager to have friends and thrilled to be chosen as Ally & Sage’s new ‘bestie’. Single dad Dare delivered a pizza to Kelsey and ended up staying for an especially spicy dessert. Then he found out she was his son’s teacher. Oops, she’s having his baby or is it the pity sex she had just before moving to town? Book 4, PIT STOP: BABY!: Next, we have the story of Dare’s Race car brother and Kelsey’s sister. They didn’t realize their impetuous hookup was with their siblings. No big surprise, must be something in the town’s water, they are adding an unexpected new family member. Book 5, BABY DADDY WANTED: I didn’t intend to make a post for a baby daddy wanted on my small town’s Facebook page—nor did I expect that my secret crush, big, brawny Murphy (called Moose), would want to help me. More lots of sex. More insta-pregnants. In this one the guy who can’t put 2 words together in her presence has to learn to claim her. Lovely set up for him to do that. Book 6, ROCKSTAR BABY: Rory is a well-known music producer… well apparently not known in the Cove. He gets snowed in overnight in the Cove as he can’t get to his meeting with famous singer/writer in Turnbull so is turned back to the Cove and Sage’s B&B (remember her in book 2). He meets Ivy as the sole person running the café in the major storm, and they have the most incredible night of their lives. But, he was previously burned so it is one-night-only. Cove water hits again and the next time he returns, Ivy is pregnant. This story brings in the whole new group of music people. Book 7, DADDY IN DISGUISE: Ah ha! I was hoping Kinleigh and August would be next, but, no, next is Macy (owner of the awesome coffee/brew place) She doesn’t know her contractor for her expansion to a Halloween theme restaurant is a single dad. Gideon and Macy have been dancing around each other for months. Turns out she has a secret past, too. All the stories have insta preggers. Might be a good series to show 20somethings that safe sex isn’t always all that safe. I was impressed that the sex scenes were fresh and custom in each of the books. They can also be skimmed if you are reading the books too fast and need a sex break.

A box set of the first 7 books in the Crescent Cove series? Count me in! This series is always good not only for hot, sexy times but good laughs as well!
Book 1 is Have My Baby. I loved this book from start to finish. Ally is snarky, sweet, loving and just generally a great character! 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. I loved it! I was so glad they figured out in the end what everyone else knew from the beginning!
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!
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. A great read that will make you laugh with some extremely hot parts in there too! And that epilogue! OMG!
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!
Book 5 is Baby Daddy Wanted. Vee definitely has issues because of how her mother is and always has been. But she tries not to let them stand in her way and drag her down. Murphy is a man after my heart! He is so shy and doesn't understand his own appeal due to how he was treated throughout middle and high school. And having people still calling him Moose doesn't help. And they are absolutely perfect for each other!
Book 6 is Rockstar Baby. If you haven't read the Rock Revenge Trilogy by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliot, I would read that series first just so you have an introduction to Rory. However, you can absolutely read this book as a stand alone and not be confused. I was so excited when it was announced that Rory was going to get his own book, because after seeing him in the Rock Revenge book, I really wanted to know more about him! Rory has issues, but even with the issues that he has, he is this sweet, caring, and loving man underneath. And I absolutely loved him! Ivy is snarky and fun and will do anything for someone she cares about. And them together? Absolute fireworks!
Book 7 is Daddy In Disguise. I have been very impatiently waiting for Macy's story and in no way did this disappoint! I have always loved her character and wanted to know more about her. Macy has always had this heart of gold and this story just showed it off even more. Gideon is this stand up single dad who will do anything for the daughter he has raised since birth. Putting them together was the perfect way to bring their story together. They absolutely compliment each other and then you throw in this cute little girl who is basically mini Macy? Loved every single second of it!!
I love that these are now in a box set! Now when I want to re-read, I can just grab this and binge them all at once!

Have my Baby
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
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
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
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.
Baby Daddy Wanted
Oh lord! What a way to stir up the Village :)
Veronica posted on social media - the wrong one and it brings so much to the coffee shop and to her life.
Moose is a hard working extremely quiet carpenter and game designer who has it bad for Vee and he’s too shy to do anything about it.
Such a fun read!
Rockstar Baby
Sigh, they never fail to impress! Taryn and Cari continue to bring on the most sexy, humourous stories.
It's Ivy's turn. She is one busy lady! So many jobs, to go after her dream. Work keeps her out of trouble until one stormy night a little piece of heaven walks in the diner.
Rory cannot believe the snow. City boy meets countryside in a snow storm. He can't find his way to his destination so seeks shelter in the Cove.
They seem so mismatched and yet they feel right together.
Lots of good laughs and a few tears, but such a great read.
Daddy in Disguise
Woot! I just loved getting to read Macy and Guideon's story.
They dance around each other for so long it's great they finally get together. I loved Dani. She is such a sweet kid. It's so fun to see the storm that brews when Dani gets it out on the social that Daddy's looking for someone!
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
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
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
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.
Baby Daddy Wanted
Oh lord! What a way to stir up the Village :)
Veronica posted on social media - the wrong one and it brings so much to the coffee shop and to her life.
Moose is a hard working extremely quiet carpenter and game designer who has it bad for Vee and he’s too shy to do anything about it.
Such a fun read!
Rockstar Baby
Sigh, they never fail to impress! Taryn and Cari continue to bring on the most sexy, humourous stories.
It's Ivy's turn. She is one busy lady! So many jobs, to go after her dream. Work keeps her out of trouble until one stormy night a little piece of heaven walks in the diner.
Rory cannot believe the snow. City boy meets countryside in a snow storm. He can't find his way to his destination so seeks shelter in the Cove.

Amazon
I love all these couples and their adorable babies!
Book 1 - Have My Baby
Have My Baby is sweet and delicious and Laurie has got to be the cutest, most precocious, independent little 4-year-old, EVER!! Seth is a sweet, gorgeous guy and it was entertaining watching him fall and not realize it. Ally, my God, that poor woman. She had been taking care of her mom for so long, and Seth, and Laurie, and had never taken the time to care for herself, so it was nice to see Seth get his head out of the clouds and take care of Ally for once. Their chemistry is hot for sure, but more importantly, because they're best friends, they've got that emotional intimacy that's so necessary in any relationship. Kudos to Taryn for this wonderfully sexy and emotional friends-to-lovers story!
Book 2 - Claim My Baby
Oliver and Sage have a fairly contentious relationship. Ever since they met, when their brother and best friend fell for each other, they've bantered wittily back and forth and have met dislike with dislike. Perhaps all that dislike was masking something else, though? Something like a serious attraction that happens to switch on for the two while they're vacationing in Vegas. Sage is there taking the vacation she won from a radio station and Ally was supposed to have gone with her, but what with her being all preggie and such now, Sage has to go by herself, which she is fine with. But Ally and Seth are worried about Sage being in Vegas by herself so they convince Oliver to tag along to watch over her. Watch over her he does...and lands himself in her arms after she begs him to give her the time of her life. But when what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas, instead ends up as two pink lines on a pregnancy test, how will Oliver react? Oliver, the man who has a history of non-commitment and has no desire for kids and marriage?
Well, in Oliver's case, he reacts like the awesome guy he actually is. Which is something I admit to being surprised about, because, quite frankly, he wasn't my favorite person in Have My Baby. Here in Claim My Baby, though, he's pretty awesome, and sweet, and so hot and he outshines everyone, even his twin, Seth, and Ally, and even Sage. He even turns out to be quite romantic (leaving Sage notes written inside origami has to be one of the sweetest, most romantic things, EVER!) and seeing him fall in love with Sage had me swooning. He's my favorite part of Have My Baby, but I did like everything else about it too. It's sweet, it's yummy , and it's downright adorable. I am so looking forward to more from this series!
Book 3 - Who's the Daddy
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.
Kelsey is the sweet teacher who's friends with Ally and Sage from Have My Baby and Claim My Baby respectively. Dare is the hot single-dad mechanic who's friends with Seth and Oliver also from Have My Baby and Claim My Baby. I love Seth and Oliver, but honestly, Dare sets the bar even higher. He's so much more than I had been expecting, and when he and Kelsey first see each other in the start of Who's the Daddy, I was already rooting them on because they are, quite simply, adorable and hot together and the flames were already sparking from that very first interaction.
As they somehow wind their way into a relationship, I was kind of cringing, imagining all the horrible ways it could go wrong. But, I shouldn't have worried, because these two have got their acts together. They're adults, and they act like it, thankfully. No overblown angst and ott drama here. Just fun morphing into heartfelt, sweet love.
These authors never let me down with their brand of edgy, spicy and somehow sweet romances, and Dare and Kelsey have climbed their way to the top. They have sneaked their way into my heart's #1 spot for their men and women, right next to Nick and Mal and Ally and Piper.
Book 4 - Pit Stop: Baby!
I loved Pit Stop: Baby!! I thought I adored the Hamilton twins and Dare, but honestly, they've got nothing on Gage. Gage is the sweetest, most delicious hero in this world, by far! He's so determined to stick by Rylee, and I loved seeing him fall for her, and not fight it. Rylee fought it, though, boy did she. But she was adorable in her own way, and absolutely perfect for Gage. These two authors have definitely upped the ante on the series - I can't wait to see if Vee's story is as spicy and sweet as Pit Stop: Baby!
Book 5 - Baby Daddy Wanted
I LOVED Baby Daddy Wanted!! Mostly because of Murphy. He's so unlike most bbfs these days. He's absolutely adorable and sweet and gorgeous in his understated, shy way. He's not at all arrogant and definitely not a player. I think he's the real star here, and made the story for me. He and Vee make a sweet couple, and their chemistry is electric! I've been loving this series with all the men and the women who love them, but this one just might be my favorite, all because of Murphy, he of the big, delicious body and huge, sweet heart.
Book 6 - Rockstar Baby
I love all the authors' rockstars, and Rory and Ivy are no exception. Their story is funny, seriously yummy, and a little heart-tugging. Rory had a lot of demons, and inflicted a lot of hurt on Ivy because of those demons. There were times I wanted to yell at him then turn around and hug him right after. And Ivy? That woman is amazing - sweet and compassionate with a huge heart, and so strong and independent. She is what all heroines should be! I've been loving this Crescent Cove series, and now that it's been crossed over with some of my favorite rockstars, I'm ecstatic!! Can't wait for more baby daddies, more rockstars, and more love from two of my favorite authors.
Book 7 - Daddy in Disguise
I have long been waiting Macy's story, and it more than lived up to my expectations. She's perhaps the most interesting, toughest character to reside in Crescent Cove. She's everything good a heroine should be - feisty and sassy, tough and independent, and hiding a huge heart. And the man she fell for, Gideon, is more than perfect for her, he's her equal and about the only one (plus one) who could bring out Macy's softer side, the only one(s) to bring her to her knees. I loved their story and finally getting to know Macy and what made her the tough but beautiful woman she is.

I've read and reviewed all of these stories separately. These are excerpts from those reviews...
Here's the TL;DR: These stores may be read standalone, but it's much better to read them together :) They are fun, quick reads in that the stories move along, and you don't have to think too hard about the characters -- chances are you already know them in your real life. Highly recommended!!
Have My Baby is a sexy, friends-to-lovers story. The characters are easy to relate to, even you haven't been propositioned by your best friend. The dialog between them is fun and real, and the sex scenes are trademark "TQ HAWT". A fast, super-enjoyable read.
Claim My Baby is Oliver’s story. He’s labeled a playboy and is a little socially awkward, and has a “frenemy” relationship with his sister-in-law’s best friend, Sage. When Sage learns she’s pregnant, she tells Oliver he doesn’t have to be part of the baby’s life. Oliver has other plans. This was a fun, fast, sexy and lighthearted read. I completely enjoyed this story.
Who's the Daddy - Kelsey is new to town, having just taken a permanent position teaching in a Catholic school. Dare is the "pizza guy" who delivers way more than a hot pie :) When a bit of flirty banter turns into the first of many romantic (raunchy, hot, smexy) interludes...whew! When Kelsey finds herself pregnant, she has to wonder -- is Dare the daddy or the ex she had one last fling with in a moment of weakness before her move? If you know Taryn and Cari, you know the answer to that!
Pit Stop: Baby! Rylee and Gage hooked up dramatically albeit anonymously several months ago, but found out each others' identity at their siblings' wedding! They had gone their separate ways, but now their spheres are intersecting again. And Rylee is preggers. And Gage is the daddy. These two are super sweet together, and I love that they both want the child from the get-go, no matter what else may be going on in their lives. Rylee and Gage are a sweet couple, and I loved reading about them.
Baby Daddy Wanted - Start with an embarrassing personal ad, written by a well-known woman (Veronica) in a small town, but accidentally posted in the town's FB page. Add in a whole lot of innuendo-laden comments from nearly every male in town, but none from that one sweet, shy, delicious guy (Murphy) who Veronica wouldn't mind hearing them from... and you have another winner from Taryn Quinn.
Rockstar Baby - What do you do when you're trapped in a snowstorm? Seek out a port in which to be safe. Rory finds that in Crescent Cove. He also finds Ivy. And ma-a-a-a-an ,the chemistry is instant and SCORCHING. This is a sweet, funny story with lots of laughs and lots of steam -- another winner from Taryn Quinn!
Daddy in Disguise - I thought this was a great story. We've been waiting for Macy's HEA for a while, and Gideon delivers in spades! This book has everything we've come to love in a Taryn Quinn story -- characters you can envision meeting on the street, story lines that tug at the heart strings, and HEAT....wow HEAT.

Read
August 14, 2021I previously read these stories individually.
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 the stories of this series interweaving.
Baby Daddy Wanted: This book is a slow burn romance. Basically, falling for someone online after putting out a request for a sperm donor—without really knowing who he is. They both want each other in everyday life, but seem incapable of expressing it. Very sweet and it gets very hot.
Rockstar Baby: Rory is essentially a loner, barely even talking to his family while burying himself in work. Ivy is just a small town girl with the big dream of having an ice cream truck with her creations. They are adorable together. We get quite a bit of Ian and Zoe in this story in addition to some Kellan and Maggie. I love Ian and Rory. Rory absolutely needed someone like Ian: “I never said you were my best friend.” “No, but you can’t stop me from making you mine.” And he did. Rory’s changes are due a lot to both Ivy and Ian with some of his family thrown in. Wonderful story and I so look forward to August and Kinleigh.
Daddy in Disguise: This has some friends to lovers and a semi-secret kid. Macy and Gideon have been circling each other for a while and now things come to a head—when she finds out he has a daughter. A bit of up and down and a lot of feeling inadequate. Nicely told story.

Here’s the scoop on Crescent cove!
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, it 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!
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
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’s tough and strong. While she’s having some problems finding her true calling in life, she’s not afraid to keep trying. She will stand on her own two feet during this pregnancy, no mater 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!
Baby Daddy Wanted
Take one spitfire baker, add a shy mountain of a computer programmer, mix them together and you might just get a baby. Well, maybe?
Veronica longs for a family of her own and is tired of waiting. She starts a commotion by advertising for a baby daddy. While she narrows down her online options, her crush finally makes a move to let her know he is actually paying attention. What follows is a cute and romantic story about Veronica and Murphy as they adorably fumble their way into love.
I loved this couple (and not just because I’m a baker too)! They were both sweet and hot. While Murphy could be a tongue tied, mild mannered moose of a man at times, he could also be an alpha when it was called for. These two had great chemistry and it was enjoyable spending time with them!
Rockstar Baby
Rory and Ivy make a truly combustible couple. I love books that jump right into the good stuff, there’s plenty of time to flesh out feelings later. These two knocked it out of the park from the very beginning. While their meet-cute did lead to some sweet and intimate moments, they seemed to forge a deeper relationship each time they met up.
Rory’s got a lot of talent. He plays instruments, writes songs and produces music for all the top stars. He’s a city boy through and through. But Rory is reserved. He left Ireland for a better life with more opportunities, but abandoned his family in the process. Having your heart broken by a cheating ex-girlfriend and ex-best friend has also contributed to his reserved attitude towards women and his difficulty making friends. It will take someone with really extraordinary qualities to melt the ice around Rory’s heart.
Ivy is as small town as it gets, and she likes it that way. She’s strong, motivated to go after her dream of owning an ice cream truck and tough enough to take care of herself. She’s also sweet, caring and passionate. It’s no wonder Rory couldn’t resist her.
I loved seeing this couple work through issues like big city vs. small town, loner vs. friendly, kid averse vs. pregnant? While early sparks made great big flames, the real question is will the fire keep burning when reality sets in for this couple.
Daddy in Disguise
Gideon is the book boyfriend you’ve been waiting for! Tall, hardworking, a great dad and the abs! He’s got everything. Except a partner to share life. Luckily for him, he has an eight year old daughter whose about to fix that problem.
Macy Devereaux. Coffeemaker extraordinaire, Halloween mega enthusiast, cranky and snide loner. But there’s more to Macy than what you see from the outside. I have been waiting forever to see who finally brings Macy to her knees and exposes her soft, gooey center. You know she wasn’t born that cynical. But the reason that made her that way will definitely surprise you.
These two seriously burned up the pages with their sexual chemistry. But they were also amazingly tender and sweet at the same time. As a couple, they have it all, including a strong willed 8 year old and an old flame that just doesn’t want to die.

Taryn Quinn craft fun, sexy, heartfelt romances and Crystal Cove is one of my all time favourite series. I am not usually a fan of the pregnancy/baby trope, but the baby storylines are woven seamlessly into the romances, and the relationship journeys take centre stage. Each tale is engaging, and each couple adorable and sighworthy, and there is very little serious angst or melodrama. From the first book I fell in love with the family relationships and extended found family connections in this small quirky community. Having the whole collection in a single package is handy because once you meet the residents of Crystal Cove, you won't want to leave. Highly recommend.

Dive into the quaint lake town community of Crescent Cove. Taryn and Quinn have bundled seven amazingly enjoyable books together. I loved reading all of them. The authors have created characters and storylines which pull you into their believable world. Is there something in the Cove's water resulting in all the beautiful babies? Or perhaps a little sprinkling of magic? Get cozy and read an awesome bundle of books filled with all the feels and suprises we love.

This is a collection of the first seven books in the Crescent Cove Series. Crescent Cove may be a fictional town – you will fall in serious like with all of characters, and you will soon be wishing that the town was a real place so that you could move there too! You’ll identify with their insecurities and cheer for them when they fall in love. I’ve enjoyed reading every single book in this series. Definitely recommend this romance collection.

Heat and Sweetness in Full Measure!
Sweet baby Jesus! Seven books, and every one of them gets a 5-Star rating. There is deflowering, and sweet coition a-plenty, sparky humour, loving relationships and minimal angst.
It's all just so damned HOT! The girls are gorgeous and the well-hung men are sweet and rough (all of them).
Definitely going into my read-again digital library, and I'm really keen to read Taryn Quin's other books. I think I'm in for a treat every time.

Great Series!!
How brave are you? The people who live in Crescent Cove think that there has to be something in the water because so many couples are turning up pregnant. Each of their stories are full of love, humor and has you rooting for the couples. So if you are looking for some feel good books this box set is for you.

This is a great collection of stories that I have enjoyed from start to finish. All of these stories take place in a single community of Crescent Cove but can be read as stand alone stories. Each story is unique in themselves but have the common denominator if being some hot reads and a few surprises. Overall, these were great reads that I would recommend to others.

I can't say enough about Crescent Cove, maybe that I wish it was a actual town. You can't help but love everyone that lives there. It's so welcoming and fun that I would really like to visit. So take a trip and visit through these stories of finding the one, sexy times, shenanigans, festivals, parties, pregnancies and so much more!!! You won't be disappointed!

This Crescent Cove bundle is everything. If you haven't read any of this before, now is the perfect time to jump in. This series is so much fun, easy reads, and of course has plenty to offer for everyone. Crescent Cove is a small town like no other and I love going back to visit every time I pick up one of these books.

This bundle is an amazing feel good series. There are many wonderful, sexy dads to fall in love with in this series. The women in the series are also equally lovable and funny. Pair up the, well developed characters with engaging storylines to get expertly woven into beautifully romance novels.

OMG!!!
This series of books had been amazing. I cried...hard! I laughed....loudly! I had so many emotions happening during this series I didn't know what was happening.
I will definitely be going further into the series to find out what happens. I will say I'm happy I don't live in the Cove though. Soooo many babies. 😂
