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
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!
Damon
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.
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!
