Amazing, sweet, inspirational romantic story in the Crescent Cove series. Love this writing duo! Highly recommend!
There hasn’t been a bad read in this series. And this one is no different. You can’t help but root for two people that have been dealt life occurrences they weren’t expecting. Hannah and Asher are great and expected a one time night but fate and Bess (grandma) had different ideas plus Lilly. Taryn and Cari have not disappointed and I can’t wait for any other reads from them and especially from this series.
Hannah’s no blushing flower waiting for a man to sweep her off her feet… cause who has the time? Until she finally decides to take a night for herself and Asher invites himself to dessert But fate definitely has plans of her own.
After having raised her younger sisters after her parents died, Hannah (who is a virgin) is taking some time for herself on New Year’s Eve. When Asher enters the restaurant, and sits down with her. Asher is a few years older and they hit it off. They agree to one night. It seemed kind of awkward as Asher, is a workaholic and it’s been a while since he’s hooked up with a woman. After a hot night in front of the fire, Hannah leaves in the morning.
Fast forward a couple of months and Hannah is now juggling a few jobs including launching her home cooked food delivery business. By a complete coincidence she meets an older woman who is looking for a nanny for her son’s Lily. On the day she goes to meet the man, she finds out she’s pregnant from that one encounter. The man, is Asher.
From there, and a bunch of awkward moment between the two of them, you watch them become friends and lovers (although the bedroom was never the issue). But more importantly you watch Asher, this rich billionaire, deal with life and loss while trying to live up to family expectations.
A beautifully written love story!
There is seriously something in the water in Cresent Cove. This series just keeps getting better and better. This one finds us with two lonely people who find each other in a snow storm. Asher has been thrown into a role he never expected to be in as a father. He is also juggling that with his grandfather’s business that he was so passionate about before Lilly. He has had no time to prepare and his life has always been about the perfection of preparation. Hannah is finally able to explore what she wants to do with her own life after having to raise her twin sisters. Her time is now her own. I loved how they took on a different attitude for their one night together. Don’t get me wrong, their attitude was still a form of themselves but more free. After they are thrown together again, sparks aren’t even big enough to describe the vibe between them. More like inferno. While Asher’s grandmother is the best form of comic relief, she has the best insight into all things Asher. She understands him better than anyone and I love her directness about it all. Hannah and Asher must find their way and they make mistakes along the way. I loved this story as I have all the rest but I am so looking forward to Macy’s story.
I heartily recommend this title. the book is well written. The characters are VERY well developed. They are enjoyable, believable and serve to draw you into the story. the storyline is amusing if not laugh out loud funny, carefully plotted with little to no padding. you actually care about the characters and want to follow where they lead. I enjoyed reading the book and the characters and their reactions (believable) drew me in deeper. I actually liked Asher, Hannah, and Lily and wanted them to work out. their situations never dipped into the Cliched troupes I expected them to. Personally I think it’s one of their best Crescent Cove stories yet. I can’t wait for the next book now.
Another crescent cove surprise!
Hannah & Asher were another great couple to add to this great series! After a chance meeting on New Year’s Eve, they both decide to take a reprieve from their usual responsibilities by enjoying a no steamy, no-strings night together. Except fate intervened when Asher’s grandmother literally runs into Hannah & offers her a nanny job for Asher’s daughter. Of course, after the shock of seeing each other again wears off these two can’t deny that what they shared was something more. I loved the chemistry & banter between these two lonely people as they discovered that their unexpected connection lead to love and family.
Let me tell you, CEO Daddy went above and beyond my expectations. This was so much better then I anticipated. A true masterpiece. Can I just say this is my favorite book, I love it. Hurry up and grab this amazing book.
This is a completely standalone book in the Crescent Cove series, with brand new characters that haven’t been introduced yet. And while you can read this one without having read any of the other books, I do highly recommend those ones as well! In this one we meet Asher and Hannah. They meet on New Year’s Eve and decide to spend the night together. It’s only supposed to be one night, but neither are expecting the consequences that come after just one night. Now they have to deal with not only their attraction to each other but also to the consequences from that night.
I absolutely loved this one!! I was sucked in from the start and fell in love with Asher and all he is going through! He definitely has a lot of hidden depths as well!! Hannah is this sweet, young woman who is such a stand up soul that you can’t help but love her as well. And the chemistry between them is off the charts!! And then you throw in his Gran? Love her!!! Plus the cameo’s from characters from the other books along with the introduction of some new side characters? I couldn’t put it down and loved every minute of it! And now I need a story about a certain hot firefighter along with a new ceo that we meet!!!
First of all, the CDC needs to run some kind of experiment on Crescent Cove. I don’t think the baby fever has anything to do with the drinking water.
But that being said, I love this whole series of standalones.
Hannah Jacobs is a little lost, and ready for the next step in her life. After losing her parents, she raised her younger twin sisters. But now they’re adults off on their own, and it’s Hannah that has to find her new life.
Asher Heathcliff “Snug” Wainwright is also a little lost, but for a plethora of different reasons. He’s feeling unsuccessful in business, and floundering in his personal life. After his best friend died and left Lily in his care, he’s been way over his head in everything. But his Grandmother has the solution. Hire a nanny to help take care of his Goddaughter.
There were so many times I wanted to knee Asher right in the junk. Luckily, he made up for it in big ways. It took a while, but Asher figured things out. Probably because of his Grandmother Bess and his infant charge, Lily.
There are the requisite cameos from Crescent Cove regulars, and that’s one part of Taryn Quinn books that I simply ADORE. The easter eggs for regular readers. It won’t take away from anything if this is your first CC book though.
I will forever be recommending Taryn Elliott/Cari Quinn books to anyone I think will enjoy them, and I’m doing the same here.
CEO Daddy gets five missing sock stars.
When Asher and Hannah meet on New Year’s eve little did they know just how much their lives could change. After all, it’s just a one night stand, never see each other again kinda thing. But with this being Crescent cove…
This standalone romance story is good. You’ll like spending time with Hannah, Bess, and Lily, You will definitely warm up to Asher! There is humor, plenty of hot sex and some swoon-worthy moments.
When I read the blurb for CEO Daddy I was excited and couldn’t wait to read it…..single dad/surprise pregnancy/virgin/age gap? Some of my favorite tropes! Taryn Quinn slayed it!! This book is A-MAZ-ING!!!
CEO Daddy is set in Crescent Cove. You know, the place that has a run on pregnant women? It’s where Asher and Hannah meet when New Year’s Eve and spend one steamy night together. Where do I start with these two? Asher, 32, is a single father to Lily, who he adopted after his best friend died. He’s struggling with feeling like a good father to her. He’s also struggling with keeping his family’s newspaper running in this day of internet access. There is so much on his plate when he meets Hannah on New Year’s Eve. Hannah, 23, is feeling alone and unsettled. She finished raising her younger sisters after their parents died and it trying to get her boxed meal business off the ground It was a perfect night. A hot and steamy night, meant to be one night.
Alas, fate had something else in mind for these two and puts Hannah in the path of Asher’s grandma. Who, unbeknownst to Hannah interviews her for a nanny position. Lily’s nanny. All bets are off once Asher sees who the new nanny is!
From that point on this book hit me in all the feels!!! The banter between these two had me laughing often but with the baggage these two have, they also had me shedding a tear or two. One thing they definitely had going for them, and did from the get go, is chemistry!! Off the charts, hot and steamy, chemistry.
This book is a must read!! It is a standalone and can be read without having read any of the other books in the Crescent Cove series.
Another great DILF story in Crescent Cove. Love the characters of Hannah and Asher. She is trying to get her “fledgling food delivery” business off the ground but needs to supplement with other jobs. Asher has his grandfather’s newspaper business he is trying to keep a float. He is work, work, work but now he has a baby. One he was not part of producing but came to him by default of a tragic accident. Hannah and A find themselves at the same place at the same time on New Years eve. Wanting just a moment of time to be touched. They agree that it is a one night thing…but will it be? Read this great stand alone that is part of a series. I highly recommend it.
Hannah’s life is hers to live now that she’s got her younger sisters off to college. So what’s a young, single woman to do when she’s by herself on New Year’s Eve? Drink some champagne and contemplate the state of her life. AND spend the night with the gorgeous guy who came over and sat with her. One night. No last names. No strings. Easy. Fun. Right?
But what about when she becomes the nanny to his goddaughter? Suddenly strings are popping up everywhere. There’s definitely something in the water in Crescent Cove!
I loved CEO Daddy! It’s so sweet and sexy and I absolutely fell in love with these two and their journey. Asher is a workaholic, frazzled dad trying to come to grips with his new life, and Hannah is trying to figure out her life without having to raise her sisters. They really were meant for each other. Of course they hit quite a few bumps along the way to happiness, but the way they went about getting to the other side was so fun, entertaining and downright swoony. I love the men and women of Crescent Cove and I think these two newcomers fit in perfectly!
This sweet, hot romance was an enjoyable read that was hard to put down. There were emotional moments, as well as happy – laugh out loud moments. The characters are easy to relate to. Definitely recommend this book, and all the others by Taryn Quinn.
There is definitely something in the water in Cresent Cove with another surprise baby, even though condoms were used. Really enjoyed this read, although there was some angst on the way to their HEA happy family. Both Heroine Hannah and Hero Asher had major emotional healing going on in their lives as they redefined their priorities.
Loved Asher’s Grandmother, but my favourite parts of the story were the tender times as Hannah and Asher were spending time and falling in love with Lily, the goddaughter Asher was now parenting. Interesting that although Hannah and Asher had major steam heat from the moment they met, what really sealed the ‘love’ deal for both of them, was seeing the other person’s essence and capacity for love as they cared for Lily. Love how the authors have made each romance in this series fresh, new and charming, even if the theme remains the same. Hoping we will get a story for Hannah’s friend Gabriela.
Amusing!
An entertaining story full of love, heart, humor, emotion and overall sweetness!
I voluntarily read an advance copy.
An outstanding read. I loved it. What can happen when two adults decide to have a one-night hookup on New Year’s Eve? Only first names, no last names exchanged. Both single, lonely and searching for something they both needed on the night of resolutions.
Hannah is alone now that her twin sisters have left for college. She decides to go out for New Year’s Eve and makes a reservation at the local B & B for dinner and a room for the night. While she is sitting at the table after her meal and waiting for the dessert she also ordered a bottle of champagne a man comes over. He asked if he could sit down and share the table since they were the only ones alone.
Asher has been struggling with trying to keep the newspaper business he inherited from his grandfather and also the infant of his best friend, who died in a fall. Asher was the child’s godfather and his responsibility now. Asher leaves the infant with his grandmother so he can take a well deserved night off and goes to have dinner and no business work for one night. Then he sees a lone woman sitting by herself and goes over to her table…
It’s dirty, hot, romantic, sexy and two people who are struggling to survive what life throws at them.
There’s magic in the night on New Year’s Eve. They say how you end the night is how your year will go. I don’t know if anyone ever told Asher or Hannah that…
Meet two lonely people who decide to throw caution to the wind for one night. Just. One. Night. Simple, right? Not when fate has other plans.
Two people who have more in common than they ever thought (always busy but willing to do anything for those they love) have to figure out how to mesh, because the Universe said so.
This author duo has written yet another hilarious, hot and heartfelt story and it couldn’t be any better. Throw in some awesome guest appearances and this book is nothing but win
What do you get when you have a sweet hot man and a adorable virgin looking to do the deed? A great story that’s what! I loved Asher and Hannah. A one and done ends up being so much more. Not expecting to ever see each other again she some how gets trapped into being his nanny to cute baby daughter…. that’s another sweet heartbreaking story. I enjoyed these two so much that I couldn’t put the book down but I ve loved all the characters I’ve met at Cresent Cove. Grab this hottie…. you’ll love it!
