5 Star Review Advice Birth of a Baby Daddy (The Baileys #3) by Piper Rayne
I absolutely fell for Rome, no real surprise, after all he is a Bailey, Harley and Calista. In fact there is not a Bailey that I don’t love. They are such a great family and their friends are just as awesome.
I really love small town romances and found myself wishing that I could be a part of the Lake Starlight , Alaska community. However it can also make it harder to live in, as Harley finds out when she arrives in town searching for answers.
Piper Rayne write strong characters and are not afraid to show them in all their flawed glory, it makes the stories that much more realistic and I really appreciate that.
When Harley agrees to extend her stay in town for a little while, you just know that you are in for a roller coaster of a ride. I really admired Harley’s strength, determination and her insistence on keeping her independence. I also enjoyed the fact that they both took the time to see where they could go and did not rush into anything for the sake of the baby.
You know when you pick up a Piper Rayne book that there is going to be plenty of humour, that’s a given, but this book had so much that at times I wanted to cry. I was also frustrated with Rome and his behaviour as he struggled to come to terms with his life being turned upside down. I also loved how the Bailey Clan showered Calista with unconditional love and acceptance.
This is another book full of love and family which ticked all the boxes for me. I loved this book from start to finish and highly recommend you one click.
First let me say that I totally swoon over a sexy man being a sweet daddy to his little one. Now that that is out of the way, Harley comes to Alaska to get her daughter’s father’s DNA, so she will know her family medical history. This is the father that was a one night stand two years ago, and has no idea that he has a daughter. This is also one of the Baileys, and to be more precise, one of the twins, Rome or Denver, but which one? As always, Piper Rayne has written a wonderful story that is so very hard to put down. It also has its sweet moments, along with some steamy hot ones, and other times that will have you laughing out loud. It is definitely a five star book that I highly recommend.
I love the Baileys so much! This is the third book and my favorite so far. I want to be part of the crazy Bailey family. They may get on each other nerves, but you can feel the love they have because when one needs help they all come calling. I loved Harley and her little girl Calista. Calista stole my heart. Her nickname for her grandma is the same one I have for my grandpa so that brought a smile to my face every time I read it. I’m not going to say who Calista’s dad is because you need to read for the little bombshell, but he’s character surprised me. The scenes with him and Calista melted my heart. They’re so precious. This book had it all heat, heart, and humor. I loved watching Harley and her Bailey man navigate co-parenting and the growing feelings between them. I loved the epilogue so hard. It’s the perfect touch for this book and I loved the set up for the next book, Sparks are going to fly in that one.
4.5 Stars
Birth Of A Baby Daddy takes us back to the town of Lake Starlight, Alaska, and reunites readers with the Bailey siblings. After the ending in Advice from a Jilted Bride I was intrigued and eager to discover the identity of the baby daddy.
I’m loving this series, each book is packed full of heat, heart and humor, and Birth Of A Baby Daddy also has an element of drama, but it’s also incredibly sweet. All the books are interconnected, yet can be read as standalones, with strong themes of family and friendship. This series has everything I look for in a small town romance, and I adore the Lake Starlight community and all its drama and gossip, especially the Buzz Wheel.
The characters in this title are realistic, and flawed with vulnerabilities and insecurities, but they are also quite strong and resilient, having endured struggles in their pasts.
The banter and interactions between the characters will leave you with a smile upon your face.
Birth Of A Baby Daddy is just as engaging and entertaining as the previous titles and has just left me more eager for the next Bailey sibling to find their Happy Ever After.
This book was soooo freaking good!!! It drew me in from the start, and had me completely sucked in! Harley was awesome. A strong heroine, who would do anything for her daughter. The hero was incredible. His world got turned upside down, and he took is all in stride and made the best of the situation. They faced challenges, but came out on top. And I LOVED catching up with the rest of the Bailey’s!! This family always has me cracking up. And that epilogue??? Has me so ready for the next book in this series!!! A phenomenal must read that I would highly recommend!
Piper Rayne has done it again, this is another great addition to this series. Harley has a one night stand with a hot, but very drunk man who was at the airport bar she works at. She ends up pregnant and with no way to get in touch with him. After seeing a news article about Denver Bailey, she decides confront the baby daddy with their toddler, Calista. Problem is, she doesn’t know that Denver and his brother Rome are twins. Who is the Baby Daddy? Once the Baby Daddy is established, will they just be co-parents, or can these virtual strangers become more? Loved the Bailey family and the other cast of characters in Lake Starlight Alaska. I cannot wait for the next book in the series!
There will be definitely no spoiler alerts here. I can honestly say I did not see the unexpected truth of who is the baby daddy!!! I was hooked from the first page because of ALL THE DRAMA! We pretty much pick up from where we left off from the last book. But don’t worry friends. If you are new to The Bailey’s series, you can also read this book as a standalone. I highly recommend to back pedal to the previous books. This family is EVERYTHING!
So I started to say there was drama from the get go. Boy! Are you in for the ride of your life. The new characters that are introduced will make you fall for them. There is a lot of the heat factor in the mix. Some moments when you heart rate spikes. At the end, I was full of smiles. Piper Rayne has another #1 hit. <3
Wow, this book was such a wonderful read! The last book left us with a cliffy & had us wanting more so I was so excited for this one to get here. Plus our answer, the long awaited answer of who’s baby is she takes a bit to find out. The intrigue was so well written I was constantly turning the page to see what was going to happen next! I will not spoil this for u, so u must read to find out who becomes the best daddy he can be. The one who steps up & becomes oh so swoony. I fell in love with their easy going, steamy chemistry & fun relationship. Harley is strong & determined which makes these two an even better fit! I highly recommend this book. Told in dual POV.
This review is gonna be so difficult because I’m terrible with secrets. But I don’t want to ruin anything so that said…I loved this book. So much respect for Harley! She’s a single mom with no family to speak of, just a best friend. When she needs the baby’s father’s DNA, she’ll do anything to get it. Even walking into a family event with more people than a convention. She has plans to only stay a few days but how can she deny her daughter a family beyond herself? This was so wonderfully written and the relationship is a natural one. The banter between them is adorable and smoking hot!
I have fallen in love with the Baileys since book one in the series. Birth Of a Baby Daddy was a fantastic, quick read and I just loved this storyline.
This story is a little different than the usual, where the characters are in love from the beginning. They had to get to know each other first, which I liked. I felt so bad for Harley with everything that she had been through her whole life; which made it hard for her to trust anyone, especially with Calista, her daughter.
I always enjoy Piper Rayne’s books and for me, this author gets better and better the more I read. Birth Of a Baby Daddy was a fantastic and quick read. I love this storyline; it was a little different than the characters just being in love from the beginning. I cannot wait to read more about the Baileys and get old of Savannah’s story.
Birth Of A Baby Daddy was an emotionally charged, fun, crackling with tension romance that made me smile, get hearts in my eyes and had me sniffling! Its the best dang thing I have read and I am so hooked!
For those that love a good romance with a easy to follow and heart rending plot, they will ADORE this book. The characters steal your heart. Its a powerfully addictive second chance romance that is all around pleasing and entertaining and pulls HARD on the heartstrings. I loved every blasted minute of this story and hated to see it end. So. Effing. Good.
Birth Of A Baby Daddy gets a EMOTIONALLY CHARGED FIVE STUNNING STARS!
This was really good. This series continues to impress me, and I highly recommend it. I’m giving this 4.5 out of 5 stars. This review is for an ARC, and reflects my honest opinion.
I really liked Harley’s character; she was a person who had been through some tough stuff in her life, but she was still so loving and pretty open. I was kind of surprised how like in the last half of the book, her previous relationships with people were just forgotten. I wanted to see more of one person, although based on something said, maybe they’ll show up again in a future book.
The baby daddy was a surprise (besides that it was one of the twins), so I want to keep it that way. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about him since he didn’t have the best reputation in previous books, but I ended up loving him! He was such an amazing father, and he grew on me the more I read. The way he interacted with Calista from the start melted my heart. One minor thing that bugged me was nothing was ever shared after his appointment; I wanted to know the outcome of that.
And of course, I loved seeing more of the Bailey family. Grandma Dori might be my favorite, and I also like Savannah. I can’t wait for the next book after reading the epilogue, although I’ll be waiting for a while as Piper Rayne will be focusing on a new trilogy next. Regardless, I can’t wait to read more words from this duo of authors! They’ve definitely found a spot on my list of favorite authors.
Have I ever mentioned how much I love the Bailey’s??? They all give each other crap but immediately have each other’s back in a second when the going gets tough.
Just like every other book Piper Rayne (Piper & Rayne) have written, this book is hysterical and you’re sucked back into Lake Starlight and everything that happens in this little tiny Alaskan town.
You should definitely read this series in order, so you can follow along with the story of the Baileys. Each story is individual but they all connect and there’s events that happen in a previous story that are referenced in the later stories – not tell you what, I don’t spoil – just know that you NEED to read this series in order to get the whole story of the Baileys!
I am falling more and more in love with the Baileys clan and the town of Lake Starlight. Piper Rayne have done it again! I love this series and I adore these authors. Birth of a Baby Daddy is another sweet and funny addition to this fantastic series.
I loved every single second of this book. I loved the characters, the chemistry, the friendships, the already there family bonds and I loved the little new family that blossomed in this book. Piper Rayne never fail to make me laugh and swoon with their stories. This story is so amazing. It was hardcore romantic to the last word. It was sassy, hilarious and an altogether blast. It had the perfect dose of heartbreak, steam and heat. This sexy, sweet and spicy love story grabbed me and completely won me over.
I cannot wait for the next installment from The Baileys. I just know it is going to be just as wild, crazy and utterly brilliant as the previous books.
If you haven’t met the Baileys yet, you’re missing out on something great!
I love this family and each new book adds more wonderful people to this fabulous brood.
I’m going to start with Harley, our amazing heroine of the story. She’s fierce and independent, which is what a single mother needs to be. She’s smart and resourceful, and she’s very protective of her daughter. She’s used to doing things on her own, so coming into a clan like the Baileys is a big adjustment. They have the biggest hearts and are always willing to lend a hand.
That brings us to the hero of the story. In the interest of spoilers, I actually can’t tell you who the lucky Bailey man is.There’s a bit of confusion in the beginning, but when the truth comes out, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that you are going to LOVE him! He’s funny and sweet, unbelievably sexy and passionate in all things. He’s charming and flirty and certainly isn’t without a few flaws. But in my eyes, he’s perfect!
This book was fabulous. It pulled at the heartstrings AND tickled the funny bone, and in my opinion, that’s the perfect recipe for a great book. And in true Piper Rayne fashion, it sets up the next book in the series perfectly. If you haven’t jumped aboard the Bailey Bandwagon yet, I highly encourage you to do so. I’m certain the next book in this series is going to be explosive!
By far, the BEST book in the series and I loved every moment, from start to finish! Harley had NO idea when she stepped foot in Alaska looking for her baby Carlista’s daddy, that her life would change forever. Both main characters are so flawed individually that when they come together as a couple, they are absolutely perfect for each other! This cute story was full of fun moments, undeniable chemistry and second chances that had me swooning throughout most of the book! You’ll definitely want to catch up on all the Bailey’s and I’m sure your going to fall head over heels for the main character in this one 😉
A single daddy falling in love gives you all the feels! Ashley @ Carolina Chic’s Read
I loved Birth of a Baby Daddy Piper Rayne does what you expect and give you one awesome read! This new found single daddy that falls for his baby momma! Which Bailey Male Twin will it be? This book will keep you laughing between all the sexy moments! You will not want to miss this read!
These books just keep getting better. Let’s just say I’ll never think of milk and Greek yogurt the same. There were seriously some major laugh out loud moments and Rome may be my favorite Bailey although I liked that we got to know Kingston better.
This is the 3rd book in the Bailey’s series and it did not disappoint! Harley had an amazing one night stand one night with an amazingly hot guy she has not been able to get him out of her mind since. Fast forward a few years later and single mom of a beautiful 18 month old baby girl a result of the hot and steamy one night stand. She grew up in foster care so all she wants is for her daughter to know her family history. This leads her to Lake Starlight and Bailey clan. She is overwhelmed by the Baileys because they are so welcoming and accept her and her daughter right away.
Will the baby daddy step up to the plate and be a dad to his baby girl? You will have to read it to find out!
I am loving the entire Bailey family. Piper Rayne has made me feel like I am part of that family while I read.
*** Advanced copy provided in exchange for an honest review. ***
This is the third book in this sensational series, and these talented authors’ continue to amaze me that they just keep getting better and better. When Harley interrupts the Baileys’ family dinner with her little daughter Calista, she is looking to track down her baby’s daddy. But who is the father? I loved how this large wonderful family opened their arms to the new additions, and the Lake Starlight Blog which continues to highlight private moments. This is a beautifully written story which is humorous, entertaining, and sweet which all lead to me being totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I cannot wait for Savannah and Liam’s story, as there is certainly an abundance of sexual tension between them. Amazing work as always and I highly recommend for all readers.
