You’re going to be a daddy.Those were the last words I ever expected to hear. As one of the fabled Hamilton twins, I enjoy my life just as it is. Why wouldn’t I? Check out my stats. Co-owner of Hamilton Realty, a multimillion dollar business. Doting uncle to my niece, Laurie, and my soon-to-be nephew. All-around sexy, single guy who doesn’t do strings—ever. Then I went to Vegas with my … doesn’t do strings—ever.
Then I went to Vegas with my sister-in-law’s best friend, Sage.
Choices were made. Alcoholic beverages were consumed. Virginities were taken.
Hers, not mine.
Then Sage announced I’d knocked her up. And oh yeah, she doesn’t expect me to take an active role, because she suspects I can’t handle anything except myself.
Say what?
She’s so wrong, and I’m going to prove it to her. I’m going to claim my baby—and Sage.
Author’s note: Oliver doesn’t start out as a single father, but by the end of the book? Hoo boy.
Author’s Note part deux: Claim My Baby is a standalone rom com with a romantic HEA ending and no cliffhanger.more
Oliver and Sage were fun to read about. Oliver is Seth’s twin brother while Sage is Ally’s best friend. The best friends work together at the diner. When Oliver and Sage end up in Vegas together their relationship takes a turn. These enemies to lovers give as good as they get when passion drives the vibes it only gets better. I was so into this story I could not put it down!
I absolutely loved this book. I enjoy reading the author books. She has a way of pulling you inside the story. The characters are likable. You fall instantly in love with Oliver. I haven’t read book 1 but I will. Won’t Won’t be disappointed
Sage and Oliver have known each other for years, but bicker with each other over everything. This is complicated by Oliver’s player reputation and Sage’s innocence. When they end up in Vegas together for a weekend they realize they want more from each other than a good argument and then they get even more than they realize. Returning home, they have to address their history and their friends opinions on their relationship, as well as all of their new feelings to get their HEA.
I really love the characters of this book. Oliver is not nearly as bad as he has built his reputation to portray, and Sage is much tougher than people think she is. I love how they explore each other and push each other’s limits. I love how they defend each other. I love the relationships they have with their families and friends. Crescent Cove sounds like a great place to be, but you may not want to drink the water.
Would this technically be an enemies to lovers trope if Sage calls Oliver her frenemy?
For Oliver Hamilton life is right on track for him. He co-owns Hamilton Realty with his brother and father, he got money and looks that have women falling over themselves to get his attention, and he gets his family time while taking care of his niece, Laurie.
Going to Vegas to babysit his sister-in-law’s friend isn’t his idea of a fun weekend. But to keep her stress down and an easy pregnancy he’ll do whatever she asks. However, things get a bit interesting when alcohol gets involved and Sage announces she’s interested in losing her V-card…After all the saying is what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas right?
But things get interesting when feelings get involved on both Sage and Oliver’s part. Then there’s the little bomb that Sage drops on Oliver about a baby…
Are these two ready to take their secret relationship public? After all, there’s no hiding a baby especially in a small town like Crescent Cove.
Snarky, Sexy, Romantic & Witty!!

Claim My Baby (Crescent Cove #2)
I adored this couple in Book #1 & loved them even more as the main characters! They’re frenemy’s, her bestfriend Ally is married to his twin Seth so they’re around each other a lot but they constantly snark & take verbal swipes at each other.
Sage is going, alone, to Vegas for a weekend. She’d like to think she’s finally going lose her V card & let loose but knows herself a little too well to believe it. She can annoy the hell out of Oliver by claiming that’s her plan though!!
He’s so annoyed & worried, he’s allowed to be manw**re but he won’t hear of anyone taking advantage of such an innocent as Sage! It doesn’t much for his sister in law to convince him to tag along to Vegas to ensure her safety! They meet up on the plane, her first flight & first time out of State, and get on surprisingly well!
It turns out it might be himself she needs protecting from!!One amazing night out having loads of fun together & a broken condom later ….. What happened in Vegas didn’t stay in Vegas, now he’s got to convince Sage he’s All In with her & their baby forever!!
This is such a fun, witty, steamy & romantic read! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I love this one as much as I did the first in the series! Oliver!!! OMGosh! You are awesome! I love just about everything about you. Everyone should be so lucky as to have a Oliver in their life! I love everything he did for her, his reactions and the Origami!!
Sage went from being a wonderful secondary character to a star! She was so quiet and withdrawn. Then all of a sudden she let her inner girl out. From that point on I think she was no holds barred and had Oliver’s interest but he didn’t know how to deal with it.
It’s wonderful seeing Seth, Allie and Laurie again! I just love listening to Laurie talk.
I listened to this on audio. I can’t get enough of Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross!! The really make this so enjoyable to listen to.
Fantastic Story & Narration SageOliver!
Claim My Baby
Crescent Cove, Book 2
By: Taryn Quinn
Narrated by: Kai Kennicott, Wen Ross
I have loved every book in this series, they are well written and well told with interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. Each book is set in Crescent Cove and feature a different couple, an alpha male and a strong, independent woman. This book is Sage and Oliver’s story, Sage is Ally’s best friend and Oliver is Seth’s twin brother, the couple featured in the 1st book, “Have My Baby”. I loved the banter between Sage and Oliver in that book and you could hear the chemistry between them even though they did not recognize it then. This book picks up with Sage’s trip to Las Vegas, because of her pregnancy Ally could not go with her, so Seth asked Oliver to go and keep an eye on her. Sage had no idea until she sees Oliver on the plane. Their bickering starts up again but once they settle in and start talking things start to heat up between them. I loved these two together and loved how everything played out for them. From their time in Vegas to when they went home and continued to get to know each other to the unexpected & unplanned surprise. This is a great frenemies turns to lovers story, these two were hysterical at times, Oliver so prim & set in his ways, Sage is strong willed and independent had no problem voicing her opinion, which I loved. There is never a dull moment in this book, there is drama, angst, humor, some hot loving and plenty of emotions. I love and enjoy Taryn Quinn’s writing style and creations, I can not praise their work enough, I was so happy to hear that there will be more books coming in this series. Thank you for these amazing stories.
I listened to the Audible edition, Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross are fantastic narrators and voice artists. I just love their duet performances, you can hear how much heart & passion they put into their work, it reflects on the characters they portray. They are entertaining storytellers and always a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fantastic listen
This is a kindle unlimited recommendation, and this whole town seems to have issues with adequate birth control. So despite the fact that all these girls are getting knocked up before their wedding day, this series has some super amazing grand gestures! Oliver and Sage spend most of this book bickering like an old married couple, so I have no earthly clue why their loved ones don’t realize they are going to end up together. lol! This one had some great humor!
I loved it/
Claim my baby is the second book of the Dirty Dilfs series. It’s a contemporary romance filled with erotic scenes and dirty talk that will make you blush. It has a nice plot and better development than the previous book both in the story and the characters. I liked that we get a background story about them, their early lives, their fears and who they were before they get together. The middle of the story was a bit rushed but the following part covered it up. My favorite part was Oliver’s romantic gestures. I liked this one better and I will rate it with 4 stars. I recommend this only to the adult readers who love the down and dirty kind of romance.

Another fantastic entry into this Dirty DILF’s series by one of my favorite authors! The first book, Have My Baby, introduced us to Oliver and Sage as side characters and it was hard for me to imagine them setting aside their animosity towards each other. That outward hostility was just a front for some very intense internal feelings about each other. Sage and Oliver have an unexpectedly romantic weekend in Vegas that results in an even more unexpected consequence! I loved how they navigated their way through their own issues to come together. Sage is really fiesty and Oliver is surprisingly less arrogant than he initially seemed. I love these two as a couple and am very excited about the next installment in this series with a couple of great characters introduced in this book.
The second book in the Dirty DILF series is another captivating one. Oliver and Sage’s love hate relationship makes for a great read. They have sex on a Vegas vacation and the rest is history.
Taryn Quinn books are well thought out and well written. I recommend this and all of their books.
Oliver and Sage
This was a funny, sexy enemies to lovers tale.
A trip to Vegas, a bit too much adult refreshment and you have yourself quite a story! Sage is a bit of a quirky gal but what she lacks in experience she makes up for in sass and strength .
Oliver has been deemed a playboy but in all reality when push comes to shove he is ready to step up and make whatever he can work with the hand they were dealt !
I loved the witty sassy banter between the characters !

I really enjoyed reading this sweet story.
This is a sweet, funny and heartwarming love story. I love the two main characters, Sage and Oliver. They are great together and their chemistry is strong and hot. I love Oliver, of course! Sage is so funny and feisty! I also loved to see Allie, Seth, Laurie and the little Alexander in this book. The narration was really great, as always with Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott. I really enjoyed my listening. I have read and listen this story. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.
Oliver Hamilton is her sworn enemy, they battle at every turn, and unfortunately for her he isn’t going away anytime soon. Sage despises Oliver, he is rude to her, goes through women like most folks go through underwear, and is filthy rich and acts every bit the part of a playboy…and she wants no part of him!! Then for some unknown reason he crashes her first getaway vacation to Las Vegas and turns her life upside down, and she soon learns she has had things about him all wrong. He can be a nice guy after all… one that sweeps her off her feet, and knocks her up!
When Oliver Hamilton finds out his little weekend getaway produced a child, with his one time enemy Sage, he is left a little unsettled, especially after she tells him she doesn’t need his help raising the baby. Nor does she expect to be a part of their lives, since she knows they would be cramping his playboy style…but he has a plan of his own, one that involves turning over a new leaf, and embracing something that he never planned for himself!
Claim My Baby is a sweet, funny, sexy, heartfelt tale that will warm your heart and permanently curl your toes!! This first time read left me smiling, I thoroughly enjoyed delving between the pages of this one and meeting these two quirky, well crafted characters. Their story was filled with feisty moments that had me giggling, sexy moments that made me blush, and tender moments that spawned the feels, and had the tears welling. Highly recommend this one, it’s a dirty little enemies to lovers tale that should not be missed!!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from NetGalley, and voluntarily read and reviewed.
We first met Sage and Oliver in the first Dirty DILFs book (although you do not have to have read that book in order to enjoy this one).
Sage is best friends with Alison who is married to Seth. Seth is Oliver’s twin. Sage is a virgin and quite funny. Oliver hasn’t met a woman he hasn’t bedded. But seriously, Oliver says the women know what to expect. While Sage is quite witty and Oliver and she have a fun love-hate relationship, Sage has never been on a plane or taken a solo trip or basically taken a vacation, however she wins a trip to Las Vegas. She’s so excited to go and plans on taking Alison, but Alison is pregnant and close to her due date and postponing the trip isn’t possible as she’s already done that. So she tries to find random people to go on the trip with her so she can lose her “V” card but is coming up empty. No worries, she’ll go by herself. Alison isn’t happy and convinces Oliver to go on the trip and “babysit” Sage. While Sage is annoyed to see Oliver on the plane sitting next to her, she quickly becomes wrapped up in his arms as her anxiety and possible “turbulence” kick in.
Sparks are flying and before you know it, they’re in bed, condom breaks and truthfully Oliver acts like a complete jerk for a few minutes until he recovers. Of course, Sage is pregnant and she lets Oliver off the hook except Oliver doesn’t want to be let off the hook. What ensues is Oliver proving he can be there for Sage. Can Sage trust him and let him in even when she finds out why he was really in Las Vegas? Does Oliver really want more? Watching their feelings really grow for each other was so sweet. These authors have a way of making you really feel what their characters are going through and that you could easily be a part of their friend group. Such a heartwarming HOT read!
An alpha male, the woman he’s babysitting, and a trip to Vegas. What could go wrong, right? After all, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas…until it doesn’t.
So, remember back when HAVE MY BABY by the two lovely ladies that make up Taryn Quinn came out, and I was so pushing for a story for the best friend of the heroine and the brother of the hero? Ta dah! CLAIM MY BABY, the second book in the Dirty DILFs series by this duo is here, and just what I was looking for. Equal parts steamy and sweet, this book was full of passion, drama, and unexpected tenderness.
On the surface, Oliver Hamilton is all alpha, plenty of bark and bite, and way out of the virginal Sage Evans’s league. But, wait, there’s more. Because even some alphas have a hidden softer side, and Oliver’s shines through when he allows himself to be talked into accompanying Sage on a trip to Vegas to keep her out of trouble. All well and good, until he turns out to be said trouble.
Sage may be inexperienced, but it takes about a minute for her inner sass to come to the forefront, making her a perfect foil for Oliver’s Mr. Growlypants. In the words of TQ, “Choices were made. Alcoholic beverages were consumed.” That’s a surefire recipe for one heck of a life hangover if I’ve ever seen one, and the ladies do not disappoint. One thing leads to another, and, before you know it, like, whoa, all of the woulda-shoulda-couldas, friends.
These ladies write a romantic comedy to be proud of, with characters that are totally relatable, engaging, and human. I was pulling for Oliver and Sage from almost the very beginning, and I was not disappointed.
If rom-coms with a twist, with a side of sizzle and loads of pulling at the heartstrings are your thing, CLAIM MY BABY is just what the doctor ordered. 4.5 stars’ worth of sass, snark, and just plain sexy times await. Grab this one and enjoy!
