A steamy new full-length standalone novel by Amazon bestselling authors C.M. Seabrook and Frankie Love!I had it all planned out. I’d find a girl, marry her, get the white picket fence and make a family. But then a baby is dropped off at my doorstep. My baby. Turns out I’m more than an NFL quarterback — I’m a father. And my daughter’s mother is missing. Or she ran away. No one knows, not even her … quarterback — I’m a father.
And my daughter’s mother is missing. Or she ran away.
No one knows, not even her sister Aria Ryan.
Aria carries a gentle grace that doesn’t match her story.
She has every reason to run — her sister has made her life a living hell.
But Aria is different. And I want her to stay.
A baby changes everything and this game I’m playing isn’t won on the field.
It’s dirty, it’s dangerous, and I’m in it to win it.
Game Change Baby features Tatum Madden, from the Princeton Charming books!
This time he isn’t letting the girl of his dreams get away. He’s fighting for more than touch down — he’s fighting for his daughter’s life.

Game Day Baby follows the story of the sexy and loyal Tatum after Princeton Charming ends. He’s gone pro NFL, but gets the surprise of a lifetime when his daughter is left at his door. This story is so beautiful. It’s making a family by choice. It’s sacrificing all you can to be better for someone else. It’s beautiful, romantic, tragic, and emotional. Tatum and Aria really pulled on my heartstrings. They made me cheer for them as the navigate early parenthood and am growing attraction to boot. It’s so well written, sad and funny. Basically it’s everything a great romance novel should be. With a cameo at the end from some other beloved characters and a HEA that made my heart so very happy, Game Day Baby is worth every page!
This is one fantastic love story. Romance at it´s best. The storyline is certainly there, twisting and turning and making you take a deep breath on occasion. The characters are there, and there is enough of them in this story. I have read stories by these authors before and honestly, I think they just become better! Thiis story is long enough that there is ample room for all the twists and turns the story takes and also for all the plots that are going on and are also ongoing! Overall it is simply said just really good and really well deserving of the rare five stars I am giving it here.

Tatum is from the Princeton Charming books and while you don’t need to read them to understand this book, it would be good if you do as that is a great series. A baby is left on Tatum’s doorstep from a one night stand. Along comes the baby’s Aunt (Aria) and she is welcome since Tatum has no idea what to do with a baby. A comedy of errors occurs with a great story line and thankfully all in one book. I always liked Tatum and this book did not disappoint. Definitely recommend.

If you enjoy reading a story that will grip your heart, squeeze it until there is almost nothing left and then fill it up, this is the book for you. Tatum is an NFL football player that finds himself to be an instant father one day. Aria is tired of dealing with her twin sister’s crap. She is always doing something that leaves Aria in a hole to dig herself out of. I found this story captivating and I could not put it down. I finished it rather quickly as it was always, just one more page. This book contains everything with a realistic path to a HEA. You also get to meet some interesting folks in here, hopefully one day we will read more in them. Enjoy!

When is started reading this book i thought that i was rereading it as it reminded me of another book i had read by another author..the storyline was similar as the other book was also a sports romance too and also the characters were in the same situation…abandoned baby, foorball player falling in love with the sister….so so similar
Otherwise this was a great read with a wonderful storyline and amazing characters…

Fantastic read, great plot and lovable characters – drama galore!
Less sports focused and more real life drama. Slightly over the top situations in some moments but with great characters and intriguing story. I loved how the happily ever after turned out for Tatum. I was so heartbroken for him after Charming Princeton series. Shame we couldn’t see more of Charlie and Preston but… well this was not their story.
Loved how twisted the story was and how unpredictable. I really didn’t see some things coming, they completely shocked me and added to the captivating effect this book had on me. Tatum is mega sweet and overprotective but he is very very lovable character. Confused, a little bit a mess but adorable in the same time.
When I saw who’s the author of this book and about whom it is I couldn’t let it slide. I had to read it. Give it a chance you won’t regret it.
Aria has always been paying for her twin sister’s debts and bad behaviour. Both of them were actresses when they were teenagers but then something happened, and the nightmare started.
Tatum’s life changed when a baby girl is left to his care.
It is always a safe bet to read a book by these two talented authors. Written in a way that you get into the book from the first word, and you are sorry to finish it because you want more and more.
Emotional and sweet with some issues that unfortunately exist in real life.
This book was absolutely wonderful. It was emotional and heartbreaking. It was well written and the storyline was spot on. The characters were remarkable and the bond they shared was strong. I was hooked from the very beginning of the book. It was a heart wrecking story. The happy ending was so sweet and heartwarming.

I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Game Day Baby is a standalone but if you have read the Princeton Charming series then you know who Tatum is and some of his background. If you haven’t read it I highly recommend you do it’s a great series. This book is full of unexpected twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. Aria and Tatum are a great couple and together with little Rose make a perfect little family. This is an emotional, well written story filled with drama, humor, heartache, steam and a fantastic ending. This author duo is making it hard for me to choose a favorite book by them because I have loved them all.
Tatum Madden is an NFL all star linebacker for the Chargers.Tatum has all-American good looks and way too honest. Tatum isn’t moved by fame or money. Tatum wants a happily ever after like his parents and the one he thought he would have with his best friend, Charlotte, but she found her happily ever after with someone else. Tatum woke from a night of partying to a vaguely familiar face, Aria Ryan, and has avoided parties and women since. An injury to his hamstring has kept Tatum on the sidelines for the last few weeks, but he hopes to get out on the field in time for the playoffs and lead the Chargers to their first Super Bowl win. Tatum has also been hiding how severe his headaches are for fear of an even longer extended bench time. Aria Ryan is a former child star and owner of a ballet studio. Aria has been trying to put her life together since walking away from the hit show, The Twins Next Door, she starred in with her twin sister, Ashley. Ashley blames Aria for their downfall, being blacklisted, and being shunned by their peers. Every time Aria finds some kind of happiness, Ashley finds a way to ruin it. Tatum is shocked to find a sickly and strung out Aria at is door with a baby. Aria says the baby, Rose, is his and asks for money. Tatum gives Aria money but doesn’t allow her to leave with Rose. When Aria doesn’t come back, Tatum is forced to track Aria down.

Tatum and Aria find they are attracted to each other but try to resist their attraction while they co-parent Rose and try to find Ashley. Aria and Tatum create a cute little family with Rose, but each knows things will change once Ashley is found. Tatum will do anything to protect his girls. What happens when Ashley shows back up? Will Aria be able to face her past to ensure her future with Tatum and Rose? Is Tatum Rose’s father or someone they know? Will Ashley do the right thing? I loved Game Day Baby by C.M. Seabrook and Frankie Love. Game Day Baby is a fantastic story with amazing characters that capture the reader’s heart from the start. Game Day Baby is full of twists, turns, betrayal, scorching hot chemistry, drama, and romance. Tatum, Aria, and Rose make a sweet family. The chemistry between Tatum and Aria is HOT! I would highly recommend getting Game Day Baby by C.M. Seabrook and Frankie Love.

I love the story and was glad to see it was a full novel and not broken into parts. Absolutely loved the characters and the storyline. I think Cleo and Ellis needs a book and Knox.

Love, love, love this book! Tatum and Aria are genuine, likable characters with a lot of heart and some major chemistry. Their story is heartwarming and chock full of emotion as their relationship progresses from one of strangers to family, falling in love with not only baby Rose, but each other as well. Everything about it is perfect even the unexpected twists and turns. Frankie Love and C.M. Seabrook are awesome whether writing together or separately. I especially love their full-length books, like the Princeton Charming series, but Game Day Baby is without a doubt my favorite book by this duo. This engaging story had me from page one and I couldn’t put it down.

This was a great read from the start with lots of twists and turns thrown in for good measure. This is Tatum from the Princeton charming series who is good friends with Charlotte. He is now playing pro football but leads a quiet life. Until a past one night stand comes for money and leaves a baby behind…….Tatum’s baby. It sort of gets dicey from here on out as we se the first of the twists where we find Ashley (one night stand) has a twin called Aria. Team mates, the twins mother and his family all get involved and wow the emotions boiling through as you read through turmoil and betrayals coming at the hero and heroine left right and centre. If you enjoyed Princeton charming then you will enjoy this book.
This is fantastically sweet! The continuation of Princeton Charming is so perfect! I loved seeing the way this couple works through all the issues thrown at them and makes their dreams come true and their HEA a reality.

I Have Never Been Moved To Tears So Early In A Book! Tatum And Aria’s Sweet Story Delights.
Tatum Madden, all-star NFL linebacker for the L.A. Chargers with all-American good looks, is almost too nice. His career hasn’t changed him – money and fame don’t motivate him. His honesty and directness leave no doubt who he is and what he is about. Football is his life.
Although the MVP could have a different woman in his bed every night, it doesn’t interest him. What he really wants is the storybook ending kind of love his parents have. The kind he thought he would have with his best friend throughout his years at Princeton, Charlotte. She got her HEA, but she didn’t choose Tatum, and the loss is still real years later. They are still friends, though.
Since transferring from DC and the Redskins three years ago, he has seen less of Charlie and her new husband. One year ago, when they had their first child, Tatum hit a real low and woke up without a memory of the night before to an oddly familiar face in his bed – former child star Aria Ryan. He has avoided parties and women since, and his buddies are starting to harass him about it.
With a tear in his right hamstring, he has been benched last few weeks. He hopes to be playing again by the time playoffs begin so he can help bring the team to their first Super Bowl victory. His headaches haven’t gone away, but he keeps them secret for fear of more time lost to the bench.
Aria Ryan, around twenty-six, doesn’t know how she will ever get her life back on track. The former child star’s entire life has revolved around her identical twin, Ashley. Every time Aria finds something to be happy about, Ashley finds a way to ruin it. Aria has spent ten years trying to stay out of the spotlight; Ashley is the one who always sought the attention.
They starred in The Twins Next Door for four years – a hugely popular show – and were known as America’s sweethearts. But when it ended they were left with no money. Their mom had squandered all royalties by the time they reached their sixteenth birthday. They were eventually blacklisted and shunned by peers. Ashley blames Aria for their fall, for wanting a normal life and walking away. Ashley has successfully guilt-tripped her ever since. Aria knows she indulges Ashley too much, but cannot bring herself to put her foot down.
Although Aria hasn’t seen Ashley in more than a year, the pile of bills that have arrived indicate that Ashley has now used Aria’s name and social security number yet again. Aria has built a simple life for herself with her own ballet studio, but she is now at risk of losing it.
When Tatum finds a strung-out Aria with a baby outside his door, he is in shock. He has always wanted a family, but not this way. Yet baby Rose captures his heart immediately. Aria leaves the baby with him and doesn’t return, so he is forced to track her down.
Tatum soon meets the real Aria and discovers Ashley’s deceipt. Aria can’t turn her back on her niece, whom she immediately adores, so she and Tatum work out an arrangement to co-parent Rose temporarily until Ashley can be located.
Tatum and Aria are an incredibly sweet couple. Both are gentle-natured and honest. Despite the differences in their childhoods, both place a high value on family. Their attraction to one another is instant, but neither forgets that Rose is their priority. Both, however, have pasts that hold them back in life. Tatum’s broken heart finds new purpose with the two girls that enter his life, but Aria’s problems are much deeper, much darker. And no matter what they create together, Ashley’s eventual reappearance brings an unsettling uncertainty to the family unit they have forged. The couple must do some soul-searching as well as face outside obstacles before they can define a future together. Tatum and Aria truly deserve their HEA!
This book is a spin-off from The Princeton Charming series, which is Charlotte’s love story. It is not necessary to have read it first, however. It works perfectly as a stand-alone.
This book is nicely written; it begins well but needs proofing later in the book. This may have already been addressed in an updated version. The POV in this book alternates between Tatum and Aria. The plot at first seems simple, but becomes more complex in the end. For this story, I would have preferred simpler due to the power of the characters themselves, even if it meant shorter. The stunt with Rose at the end might have had a similar effect without resorting to extremes. Drew’s actions feel too over-the-top, and Jessica’s very sudden change of heart is out of the blue. Ashley’s goodwill gesture doesn’t feel authentic, as she is too far gone to be able to find that part of herself. The characters, though, are nicely developed. It is easy to fall in love with Tatum and Aria – and Rose. The emotion evoked so early in this book is remarkable. Some supporting characters hint at the possibility of having their own books: Cleo and Ellis, as well as Knox. I rate this book four stars.

Tatum has a one-night stand with Ashley. The next time he sees her, she bring her baby to him and disappears. He and her twin sister, Aria, work together to help raise baby Rose, and keep her druggie mom away from her, and keep the story out of the limelight. There are so many ups and downs in this book, it was such an emotional read. I loved the story, even as parts of it was heart-breaking. Tatum and Aria went through so much together – I wasn’t sure that they would ever get their HEA.
