“What are you doing now that your team is out of the running for the Stanley Cup?”
Forget.
I need to forget. I need an escape.
Only one person isn’t falling for my reputation as the NHL’s Golden Boy; she captured my attention the minute she called me out for snooping through my best friend’s house. She didn’t want to hear my reason–she only wanted to playfully give me a hard time.
Adalyn is bold, sassy–and the perfect escape.
She’s everywhere. In town and in my dreams, and suddenly I need to spend every waking moment with her.
And I do, making this summer the best off-season I’ve ever had.
But in the midst of getting lost in Adalyn, what I don’t expect is to get her pregnant.
And what I definitely don’t expect is having to fight for her affection.
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
I’ve been waiting for Hayden’s story since Three Blind Dates, and looking back on the times that we’ve met Adalyn in Meghan Quinn’s other books, I never would have imagined that she would be the one to bring Hayden to his knees.
The way that Hayden and Adalyn meet at Racer’s house is so simple, and I just knew that their relationship wasn’t going to so simple! I fell in love with them as they fell for one another during Hayden’s off-season, but the bubble had to burst eventually and it was all sorts of messy when it popped on them!
The surprise pregnancy threw Adalyn off just as much as it did Hayden, and I loved seeing them fight through all of the messy emotions and complications that arose once Adalyn and Logan moved to Los Angeles. But then that’s where things kind of got really jumbled. Because I thought Adalyn was going to be a stronger heroine, based on what I knew of her from My Best Friend’s Ex and her brief appearances in Twisted Twosome. She kind of flip-flopped so much on her feelings for Hayden and Logan there for a while, and I always thought she was a stronger personality than that.
Overall, the story was pretty good — it wraps up in a nice HEA, and there are some great a-ha moments for both characters. While this story is a standalone, it’s also connected to both the Binghamton Boys series and is part of the Dating By The Numbers series, so there are appearances by lots of characters from those books. Of course, it was nice to catch up with Tucker and Emma, Racer, and Caulder and Rachel, and even get Hayden’s side of his brief relationship with Noely from Three Blind Dates. I’m hoping that the rogue Logan chapter thrown in there means that he’ll be getting a story of his own!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.
Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.
Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!
