Babymoon

by Abby Knox

Island pilot Austin meets a lot of interesting people. But he's never met anyone quite like Sierra. When he learns this is her one final vacation before taking on the responsibilities of mommy-hood, he finds himself wishing for daddy-hood for the first time in his life. He's never considered settling down, but when he looks into her eyes, he can't imagine not starting a family.

Sierra has wanted a baby her entire life, but life has not yet provided a partner to make that happen. In advance of taking matters into her own hands with the help of fertility doctors, she leaves town for one last wild adventure with her best friend. When the rugged island pilot hears about Sierra's plans, he makes her an outrageous offer. It's absolutely ridiculous to even consider such a thing ... or is it?

Babymoon de Abby Knox Serie


Argumento:

El piloto isleño Austin conoce a mucha gente interesante. Pero nunca ha conocido a nadie como Sierra. Cuando se entera de que estas son sus últimas vacaciones antes de asumir las responsabilidades de la maternidad, se encuentra deseando ser papá por primera vez en su vida. Nunca se ha planteado sentar cabeza, pero cuando la mira a los ojos, no puede imaginar no formar una familia.

Sierra lleva toda la vida deseando tener un bebé, pero la vida aún no le ha proporcionado una pareja para hacerlo realidad. Antes de tomar cartas en el asunto con la ayuda de los médicos especialistas en fertilidad, deja la ciudad para vivir una última aventura salvaje con su mejor amiga. Cuando el rudo piloto de la isla se entera de los planes de Sierra, le hace una oferta
escandalosa. Es absolutamente ridículo siquiera considerar algo así... ¿o no?







Mí humilde opinión:

La verdad no pensé que seria una historia tan aburrida. Esperaba arena, playa, un lindo y divertido romance con bebé pero quedé decepcionada al final.

No me gustaban tanto Sienna y Burke, como pareja no sentí la química entre ellos y el momento en que se enamoraron fue poco creíble.

Al principio creí que con su primer encuentro vendría lo bueno pero él se la pasó negando que ella le atraía, de horrorizarse al pensar en sentar cabeza a querer embarazar a Sienna en un parpadeo. La verdad que estaba sorprendida con sus escenas, la de la palmera fue todo menos sexy.

No alcanzo a entender tantas buenas críticas de este libro la verdad. No me gustó para nada. Ni siquiera para leer el siguiente libro de la serie.

I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.
Sierra is sick of waiting for her life to start, she has no interest in the family business or finding a man that her parents approve of, the one thing that she does know is that she wants to be a mum and sooner rather than later. So when her friend narrowly escapes marrying the wrong man she ends up going on the honeymoon. This will be the last blow out she has because on her return home she plans on becoming a mum in the non-traditional way. She had no idea that her plans were about to be changed and just maybe the sexy pilot she has been drooling after might feel the same about her. Is this a fling or the real thing?

Austin had no plans to settle down but recently his life is feeling empty little did he realise that he had just been treading water until Sierra arrived on the island. Listening to her plans about becoming aa mum he knows he wants to be the one that makes that desire and dream come true over and over again but she isn’t looking for love or even a baby daddy and he wants way more than a fling can he convince her that they belong together or will he lose his heart and the woman who was meant for him?

This was a fast fun flirty read where you couldn’t not love all the characters in the book, and I for one am hoping that Jax’s book is put sooner rather than later. Enjoyable light read with characters that will make you laugh and wish for a happy ending just like theirs. 4* Read

Who's The Daddy 😂

Abby is the ultimate marketing guru. She gets me every time with her covers, they are stunning. Then I read the blurb and she hooks me line and sinker. She follows it up with a perfectly executed book for a mom on the go who has a limited amount of time to enjoy a book.

This was a super cute, beachy, tropical romance.

As you can guess by the title of my review there is a certain phrase used in this book that stopped me in my tracks and had me laughing hysterically. I hope you find it and enjoy it as well when you read.

Now I'm off to continue this series as there were some characters introduced in this book that I definitely need their story.

4.5 Stars ⭐️

InstaLove romances are my kryptonite. Add in fun in the sun and baby making shenanigans and I.AM.THERE. BabyMoon by Abby Knox is a deliciously sexy and very sweet, read in one sitting, beach romance.

Sierra is on a mission. Have a baby by her thirtieth birthday. She is all in. Austin is living his best life. Piloting people to and from the island until meeting her he has no plans to settle down. The obvious attraction between the two is melt your kindle hot and watching them give in to it and plan a life together filled with baby making nookie, was super sexy.

BabyMoon gets the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval. TBR and Enjoy!

Babymoon, by Abby Knox, is a unique and adorable romance which I hope is the start of a new series. It's full of laughter, friendship and love that completely hooked me from the start.

Sierra, the heroine, is on her Babymoon; which is her vacation before being artificially inseminated against her parents' wishes. She's funny, smart, kind and feisty. I loved her interactions with her friend, Jax, and I'm hoping we get Jax's book soon; their friendship is awesome. Austin, the hero, is the pilot who flies them to the island. He's immediately attracted to Sierra and stays on at the resort for his vacation. Austin is an older alpha male who isn't afraid to share his emotions. I loved how they got to know each other and their interactions. Their romance is adorable.

This is a safe read with no OW/OM drama and no cheating. There is some explicit language and some sex. It's a quick read that's filled with fun and emotion. I loved it and definitely recommend it. It's a complete standalone that hints at Jax's story which I can't wait to read.

I received an ARC from Booksprout in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Austin and Sierra's Story . . .

Sierra Kennedy has always wanted to be a mom more than anything. She made a promise to herself that if she reaches the age of 30 and has no one to share her life and create a family, she will seek artificial insemination. So she and her best friend, Jax Pierce, go off on a girls’ vacation before she heads to the clinic.

Austin is the pilot who transports them to their island destination. When he hears that this is her last vacation before she puts her plan into effect to become a mom, he suddenly wants to be the one to be the daddy of her child. He had never wanted to settle down before, but something about Sierra makes him feel ready to spend his life with her. Will she accept his “offer” to achieve her dream of motherhood? Can he convince her he wants to be a part of her life forever?

Sierra is on vacation with her bestie Jax who just ran out on her arranged marriage. Sierra has decided it’s her “baby moon” because as soon as she gets home she’s going to get artificially inseminated. Their pilot Austin over hears the ladies talking about Sierra’s plans. Austin has never been one for hookups, he wants a relationship and thinking about what he overheard on the plane has him questioning if he could be the man for Sierra.

This short is very enjoyable. Stories where women know exactly what they want are always fun to read and Sierra is that woman. Babymoon is an insta love romance with 18+ steaminess, no cliffhanger and HEA

This is book number 1 of the Paradise Passions series and focuses on Austin and Sierra. Sierra and her friend Jax are on a vacation to get away from life and make important life decisions. Sierra has always wanted a baby and is planning on going through with a artificial insemination in order to finally get her baby. Austin is the pilot in charge of getting Sierra and Jax where they need to go for the resort. Austin immediately falls for Sierra but fights his feelings to the point where Sierra I'd confused where she stands with him. I love that when Austin let's her in on what he thinks and feels he is all in with his declarations. This was a excellent story and a great start to the series!

Sierra wants to have a baby before she turns thirty so she has planned to go through with artificial insemination. She's on a girl's trip with a friend when she meets Austin. Austin is their pilot and has heard everything they were talking about. At first Austin isn't willing to admit his attraction for Sierra but when they keep running into each other he can't stop himself. They have an instant connection and soon neither wants to be apart. Will Austin be able to convince her to stay with him?

This is a great story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

I really liked this short story. It was entertaining and enjoyable as well as jealousy-inducing (totally want a vacation there too!). The characters were interesting and likable. Jax and Sierra had a great friendship. They each did things that they wouldn't normally do but together they had the support to try. Austin knew that he wanted to keep Sierra as soon as he saw her. Sierra was planning on starting her family but wasn't planning on starting a relationship. Sierra and Austin cleared the air between them and things took off between them. I loved their happy ever after. I recommend reading this book.

First things first; I love the cover of this book!
Babymoon is the first book in the ‘’paradise passions’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. About to turn thirty, Sierra decides to have a baby on her own. Whilst on a honeymoon turned pre baby moon, she meets Austin. Austin wants Sierra but how long can he resist her for?
The chemistry between Austin and Sierra is clear to see and I liked them together.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read.

Sierra and her friend Jax are going on a “babymoon”. Well, actually, it was supposed to be Jax’s honeymoon but she called off the wedding and now the two friends are going to have one last hurrah before Sierra has a baby. She has always wanted to have children but made a promise to herself that if she had not found the right guy by the time she turned 30 that she would go it on her own. After all, she is a strong, independent woman! But what happens is she finds the right guy in the most unexpected place?

Sierra goes to an island with her friend for a quick vacation before she gets artificially inseminated. A deal she made with herself if she was not pregnant or married by 30. Austin is the pilot that flies tourists from one island to another and they hook up. After learning what she has planned, he has a few suggestions. Now to just convince her that she needs more than one night. The characters are heartwarming and fun, with great chemistry and intense feelings. The storyline was entertaining and had plenty of sizzle. Loved the locale and the passion they had. Great ending.

Sierra has always wanted to have a baby and, as she doesn’t have a partner, she decided to use a fertility clinic.
Austin is a pilot who takes people to and from a well-known resort island. He couldn’t help listening to what Sierra has told her friend during the flight to the island. He doesn’t know why, but he can accept the idea of Sierra with another man.
Although I liked the last epilogue, I think that it would have been better to place it on the next book in the series.
All in all, I enjoyed the book. Three stars and a half.

Sierra is almost thirty and wants a baby, but there is not a man in life. She goes on vacation with her best friend before going to a fertility doctor and fulfilling her dream to become a mom. Austin is the pilot that flies them to the resort island, hears their conversation and realizes he wants to be a daddy. Sierra ties him in knots and makes intelligent conversation not so easy.

This story is filled with chemistry between the characters which all leads to some steamy scenes.

Sierra, the female lead, hasn’t successfully met the man of her dreams but she wants a baby and she’s going the artificial insemination route AFTER this last hoorah. Austin, the male lead, hasn’t met the woman he wants to stay with until now and he offers Sierra whatever she wants for as long as she wants it, hoping for forever.

This short story is dual POV, well written, and a sweet and steamy instaromance with lovely secondary characters and an emphasis on found family.

I thought that this was a funny yet sweet and steamy book. I really liked Sierra and Austin together. The connection and the chemistry between these two were great. I really liked that Sierra had no problem going after what she really wanted in life no matter what anyone else thought about it or her. Austin was funny with being tongue tied around Sierra but awesome for supporting Sierra in doing what she wanted. I enjoyed this book and I would recommend it and Ms. Abby as a great author.

Sierra has always wanted a baby but hasn’t been able to find a guy worth having a relationship and baby with. She and her friend Jax embark on one last ‘girls vacation’ before her free time is gone. From the moment Austin sees Sierra on the tarmac he’s hit with love at first sight. When he overhears her plans, he’s determined to convince Sierra he the man for the job. A great quick read in a tropical setting with real characters who have a great connection. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed Babymoon by Abby Knox. It was well written and the characters Austin and Sierra were simply amazing together. Sierra wants a baby but one thing is missing- a daddy. While on a trip with her best friend Jax, she meets Austin the pilot in charge of getting them to their vacation destination. The chemistry between them was off the charts explosive. Austin realizes he has finally found the one for him. Can he convince her he is the one for her and he not only wants to give her a baby but he also wants them to raise their baby together? Great story!

Babymoon - Austin and Sierra

This is a cute passionate short story romance. I loved the hot chemistry between Austin and Sierra. I could totally see this story actually happening thanks to the well-written secondary characters, especially Jax, and the island setting as a whole. The pacing is excellent, and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to keep up with the story. I didn't want it to end.

This is a quick sizzling read that's perfect for these hot summer days!

Austin and Sierra

Cute little novella with a story and character feelings. Ahh a story with a bit of plot - not just “get it on”… of course there is that but it takes until about 75% into the story.

Her and her best friend are headed to an exclusive resort and he’s the pilot. Sierra is 30 and has longed for a baby and has decided a sperm donor will do. But they can’t fight their attraction and he finds himself in love and never wanting to let her leave.

Hea - planning a wedding and eventually 2 kids

This was hilarious, adorable and so hot all at once. I loved Austin, honestly could have used more of his POV. Sierra was great also, props to her for knowing what she wanted and going for it. Jax and Brooks were intriguing and I can’t wait to see if they get their own story. This was such a fast, easy, fun read.

[Ophelia · Rating 3 out of 5]

I almost DNF Babymoon at 32% after reading the scene with the male protagonist staring at the sleeping female protagonist’s nipples (at this point they were barely acquainted). That’s a creep with capital “C”. Eventually, I decided to finish it. But it wasn’t really worth it. The main characters lacked chemistry and their relationship (that developed TOO rapidly) was based solely on sex.
Anyway, 3 stars for the fast pacing, short chapters and positive aftertaste.
