Something like Lust

I have read over a dozen books by Piper Rayne and they are always at minimum good. This one was another cute, fun, sports romance which also delivered a good reading experience. I listened to the audiobook and it was well narrated. This was written and narrated in dual pov. For my audio people, RUN and get this one! One name, Aiden Snow! You will thank me later. Damon and Adeline are the MMC and FMC and their chemistry is adorable. Adeline and Damon become pregnant after a one night stand and I enjoyed watching their lives transform from lovers, to friends, and then parents. Damon and his father did tick me off at certain points in the story, but ultimately redeemed themselves. The HEA ending was lovely and made me smile. For those who don't like spicy romance, this is a good option. There are only a few love scenes, but they are short and consistent with typical romance. This is perfect for the football girls and those who fantasize about what it would be like to date an athlete. Overall, I found the story line to be entertaining and enjoyable. I found the main characters and the supporting characters both appealing and interesting. The book also features several of my favorite tropes including sports romance, accidental pregnancy, and close proximity. Loved this read!

Audio review

Narrated by Aiden Snow and Stella Hunter

Get ready to fall in love with Damon. The moment he learns his one night stand, was pregnant with his baby, Damon was all in for being a dad. All the protective instincts kick in. He and Adeline start out as friends and eventually lovers. It took Damon a minute to figure out his feelings.

We get to see Damon grow. He goes from playboy to girl dad. It was fun going through the pregnancy and childbirth with him. His overprotected moments and his instant love for baby Clover.
Adeline is a teacher. She is not part of the fast sports life. The one night stand was out of character for her. She is strong and independent. She made it clear she didn’t need or want Damon’s money.

The story is fun and we get to see other characters from the previous book who add a bit of humor. The friendship is fun and they always have each other’s backs.
Entertaining with a great epilogue.

Narrators were great per usual.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is Damon's story and it's a one-night stand, pregnancy, baby daddy/mommy type of romance. This was a very different story that the authors decided to tell because the pregnancy is not the focus of the story, but rather fatherhood is the focus.

The story begins with Damon coming to Adeline's small town because he received a text that she is six months pregnant with his child. In typical football player ways, he pretty much storms her middle school and inserts himself into her life to tell her he wants to be there for her and his child.

This is a story about growing up, facing responsibilities and doing what is best for your child. Adeline forms a friendship with Damon as they get to know each other while waiting for their child to be born and then as the child enters the world.

I adored watching them not only fall in love with their child but also, they form such a strong and amazing friendship which then leads to them falling for each other. They both are amazing people and have awesome families and friends who support them and each other.

There is a little angst but an awesome cast of characters and a really amazing couple that I fell very hard for.
