A baby in a basket left on a doorstep is such a clichè…It’s also my life.I carry a gun and a badge and help keep order in small town Crescent Cove. What I don’t do?Change diapers.Sing songs about sharks.Or…ask for help.But my best friend, Gina Ramos, knows I’m in over my head. She’s the only one keeping me sane. And playing house with her is starting to feel way too real.And get way too hot.… And playing house with her is starting to feel way too real.
And get way too hot.
Because the biggest thing I don’t want to do?
Is to lose my best friend…or find out my little girl isn’t really mine.
Author’s note: This daddy isn’t just undercover…he’s clueless he has a baby! Daddy Undercover is a standalone romantic comedy with a HEA ending and no cliffhanger.

Loved start of Daddy Undercover and the connection between Gina and Jared that is based in a long time deep friendship, (but is really something more). This forms the foundation of their supportive, loving care of his adorable doorstep surprise baby. However, things get quite angsty towards the end of the story as Gina’s silence about her serious issues creates huge barriers to their HEA.
It was lovely to reconnect with various families in Crescent Cove and I really enjoyed the scenes with Gina’s family and with Jared’s brother Mason. One of the reasons Readers so love this series is because new additions to the Cove are automatically enfolded and embraced with acceptance and love into their large and varied extended family. Even though their sexual preferences are not my catnip, I can appreciate that their sex scenes are seriously, seriously hot. Final Rating: 4.5 Steamy S
Welcome back to Crescent Cove!!
I have wanted to meet the growly Sheriff Jared Brooks since he first showed up. He does not disappoint!! He’s growly, witty, swoony, sexy and surprise, he’s a daddy!!!
What do you do when a baby shows up on your doorstep? You call your best friend. In Jared’s case that would be the feisty Gina Ramos.
They have been best friends for years. They’ve never crossed that line. Each to afraid to lose the other if things went wrong. Now though, things are seen in a different light and the lines are crossed. *fans self* seriously hot sexy times commence. No one in Crescent Cove is surprise by this development!
Taryn Quinn has given their readers another amazing story! There is much to love about this story. From seeing old, familiar faces to the love story between Jared and Gina. This is such a feel good story, with the most perfect HEA!!
This is a story of 2 best friends that have unrequited feelings for each other. Things begin to heat up when the town’s sheriff, Jared Brooks out of town indiscretion turns up on a cold winter day on his doorstep in a baby carrier. Upon seeing the baby, he feels so helpless and overwhelmed with what to do that he immediately calls on Gina (Bee) Ramos, his best friend to come and help him. As Gina and Jared work together to take care of two-month-old baby Samantha, a family bond forms between the three of them. Then Jared, also called Brooks decides not to tell family and friends about his little bundle unless forced to do so because of the town gossip reaches Gina’s family.
Jared stumbles in the romance department but begins to catch on once Gina takes the initiative. The buildup of heated scenes throughout the story begins with banked embers that burst into red hot flames at the end.
There are hilarious laugh out loud scenes like the one where the deputy stopped to give a citation at a local parking spot when he spots a certain jeep with very steamed up windows. There are emotionally laden scenes where both Gina and Jared must make important decisions that will impact not just each other, but baby Samantha. Gina Ramos is sister to Erika in Fireman’s Daddy. Bonnie, their interfering, Spanish speaking mother is the Police dispatcher for Crescent Cove. So much fun to read in one sitting. I literally refused to do anything in the house until I finished reading Undercover Daddy. Taryn Quinn are masterful story tellers by weaving romance, sigh: sexy hot scenes with lol humor. Undercover Daddy contains all the magic of drawing one into the book that the reader never wants the story to end once the last chapter was read. Accolades for another spectacular read! You can not go wrong with the Crescent Cove series where romance combine with piping hot coupes that hmmm- often end up with unexpected pregnancies.
Jared and Gina have been best friends for many years. Not wanting to ruin their friendship has them avoiding the attraction between them. Jared has an out of town weekend fling and only finds out about the resulting baby when she’s left on his doorstep. He panics, contacting his best friend Gina to come to the rescue. This friends to lovers romance has all the feels that we’ve come to expect from the Crescent Cove couples. Another great addition to the series!
When Jared needs her, Gina is there. She’s been there for him through everything, and vice versa. But this one? A baby left on his doorstep? Hmm…this is a doozy. Moving in with him, helping him take care of his newly discovered baby, it’s going to be hell on her heart because those more than friendly feelings she’s long had for her best friend may not stay a secret any longer.
When it looks as if her dreams are coming true and Jared starts seeing her as more than his best friend, is it because she’s convenient? Because she’s taken so thoroughly to the role of savior to all his problems, because he has life planned out and she fills the empty role in his checklist? Will Jared need to cuff her to him to get her to understand just how he feels about her?
Crescent Cove is one exciting town! Jared and Gina are such a great couple, two friends who always felt more for each other but never revealed it. Of course Jared was also an oblivious guy, as guys tend to be…but when he fell, he fell hard, and Gina was perfect for him – really their chemistry was the kind only longtime friends have, where they know each other so well that they fit seamlessly into each other’s lives. Throw in an adorable baby and you’ve got the perfect best friends to more love story.
Daddy Undercover is an exceptional story for this time of year or anytime you need a heartwarming story. Between Regine Ramos and the slightly uptight, rule-following sheriff Jared Brooks they will tug at your heartstrings one moment, have you smiling and laughing the next, and yep the heat between these two. Sami is adorable and could be the catalyst these two need to realize just how much they belong together. Crescent Cove residents are sometimes a quirky group but you love spending time with them where everyone is family or feels like family. Can’t wait to see what Crescent Cove or the Water have in store for the next couple.
Gina and Jared have been best friends for a long time. Jared is the town sheriff and just got the shock of his life when a baby is left on his doorstep. Jared is in over his head and relies on Gina for help. Will these two become more than just friends or will what they had be destroyed.
So Glad to be Back at Crescent Cove!
Jared is the town’s sheriff and he has a little bundle of joy left at his doorstep. He does what comes natural and that is to contact his best friend Gina/Bee. They have been the best of friends but have had feelings much deeper than being “buddies”. No one wants to act on these feelings because they don’t want to mess up a great friendship. Now Gina has moved in to Jared’s and is helping with his baby and things begin to heat up.
It’s a fun and heartwarming book that brings along with it that great Christmas feeling. This is a book that is hard to put down and leaves you wanting for more from Crescent Cove.
Welcome back to Crescent Cove, this is the amazing story of Jared and Gina. Jared and Gina (Bee) have been best friends for years. Jared is the Crescent Cove town Sheriff so who does he call when a baby is left on his porch his best friend. Gina steps up to help Jared and in the process loses her heart. This is a beautiful story.
OMG, I LOVE This story. It was fun, at some points LOL and I want more of it. Gina and Jared (the sheriff of Cresent Cove). Gina and Jared have been best friends for so long. They were always together when they weren’t working. But they never voiced that they loved each other for a long time. But now a new addition has been introduced and everything has changed.
I received an ARC from the author to read and give an honest review.
Jared Brooks is the Crescent Cove town Sheriff so who do you call when you find a baby left on your doorstep if you’re him? Your best friend of course! Jared and Gina (Bee) Ramos have been best friends for years but will this little bundle of Joy bring them closer together or tear them apart?
Jared, like most men would be, was a little freaked out when he found out he had a baby he knew nothing about after finding her left on his porch in the cold. Fortunately for him Gina was there to help him, but it wasn’t all sugary actually there was a lot of spice! Gina is a HOOT I loved her!
This was such a great read for the holiday season, it really showcased how the good in peoples hearts outweigh their misgivings. I loved Jared and Gina together and it was fun to watch as they finally crossed the line of friendship into something more.
This has been such a fun series which can be read as standalone’s so feel free to jump in at any point and see what is going on with the town of Crescent Cove but don’t drink the water unless you are hoping to have a baby because there is definitely something going on in this small town.
Happy Reading!!!
Jared and Gina. We’ve read about them since the beginning and we’ve been anxiously waiting for their HEA. Add a baby to the mix and we have the magic of Cresent Cove at it’s finest.
When the sheriffs world is rocked to it’s core by a bundle of joy dropped off on his doorstep how will he manage? Well of course his best friend Gina will setup and and boy does she step up, not only with the baby but also by changing Jared’s life for the better. A beautiful heart warming holiday book for the ages. You need this book!!!
Such a sweet and hot holiday read! I love Gina and wanted to shake her with equal measure for having any doubt in the foundation she built with Jared. Yes he took his time but with good reason and now is forced to recognize how much he needs her and not on an instant mom way. Now if they can both talk with words and not just their bodies lol. P.S. I wish I could live in this town.
This was a quick read that was true to the Crescent Cove baby drama.
In this edition of this series, we learn more about the Cove’s rule abiding Sherriff, Jared Brooks and his longtime friend and diner waitress Gina or also know as Bee. This pair have been friends that did not progress their relationship in fears that they would loose the other. When Jared finds himself an insta father after a weekend convention, he turns to the one person that he knows that he can count on – Gina. Gina, after getting over her initial shock and underlying hurt comes to his rescue and helps him out finding his footing at his sudden plunge into fatherhood. While assisting Jared, and unbeknownst to most, Gina is also struggling with the possibility that she may never get to experience the joys of motherhood as a result of some health conditions. Jared, throughout this story struggles with the possibility Gina may leave him after experiencing the abandonment of his mother when he was younger. After some missteps and mishaps, the pair finally give into their feelings and make a long awaited move.
This was a well written story that was great for the Christmas season as it takes place during the holiday season. The plot moved along well even though I wanted to hurt both characters as they both failed to see what was in front of them even as their chemistry melted the pages it was written on. This is before the addition of the cute baby Sami, the ever protective dog Sadie and the return of some of the characters of the previous books.
Overall, this was a good read that I had finished in no time. If one is looking for a good holiday read then this is a good choice. I would recommend this book as well as this series to others.
Aww I loved this! Jared and Gina have been best friends for a long time now and I love that honest relationship between them. They have such a deep connection that I could feel that emotion and the tugs on my heart. Add in an adorable baby, a great group of friends and it all comes together for an amazing read.
