Publisher Description
Do it.
Don’t do it.
Never in my life did I think I’d wager in my head whether to sleep with Chicago Grizzlies wide receiver, Damon Siska.
He’s the perfect package—hot body, killer smile, and flirts like he earned a doctorate in it. But anyone who reads gossip blogs knows he is looking for one amazing night and nothing more.
I’m not the usual type of woman he beds. I’m a middle school teacher who cherishes her quiet nights in, drinking wine, and watching romantic comedies, dreaming I’m the heroine. I’m not embarrassed to admit—I want the fairy tale.
But Damon caught me at a weak moment. Fresh off a break-up and feeling lousy about myself, I gave into temptation and left the next morning like every other woman he’d slept with.
Except I walked away with more than just the memories when three weeks later the little white stick glowed with two pink lines.
Customer Reviews
Piper Rayne NEVER fumbles!
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!
Damon
I loved that Damon jumped right in. Adeline was a strong character that did not bend to his needs. I wish they could’ve expanded on Greta a little more. Nonetheless another great story. Let’s see what Cooper and Ellery got!

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.
