Forget.
I need to forget. I need an escape.
Only one person isn’t falling for my reputation as the NHL’s Golden Boy; she captured my attention the minute she called me out for snooping through my best friend’s house. She didn’t want to hear my reason–she only wanted to playfully give me a hard time.
Adalyn is bold, sassy–and the perfect escape.
She’s everywhere. In town and in my dreams, and suddenly I need to spend every waking moment with her.
And I do, making this summer the best off-season I’ve ever had.
But in the midst of getting lost in Adalyn, what I don’t expect is to get her pregnant.
And what I definitely don’t expect is having to fight for her affection.

“This girl is my game changer.”
Oh, Meghan Quinn has done it again! She gives her readers what they want EVERY SINGLE TIME! If you are a follower of the Dating by Numbers series, then you should be just as excited as I was for ONE BABY DADDY! Hayden is just…beyond! I absolutely ADORE this man! I have, ever since the beginning, and his story was just…SCRUMPTIOUS! I ate this baby up like nobody’s business and my eyes never strayed from the pages. Hayden and Adalyn’s entertaining and emotional romance had me in a trance the whole way through. I laughed. I cried. I shouted from the rooftops! If you are a fan of rom-coms with HEAT and HEART, then you should pick up EVERYTHING Meghan Quinn has to offer! She’s an incredible storyteller and she packs quite the punch in this genre! I’ll never get enough of her humor…her wit…and the fact that she can make me laugh and cry in the span of under a second! Now THAT is true talent!
So funny! I am in love with Hayden. I don’t even like hockey but I love Hayden. Addy is so hysterically funny, and she is just perfect for him. I love them together. Now I kind of feel for poor Logan though, I think we need his story lol. Seriously, this book is funny, sweet, cute, and steamy all in one terrific package, just like all of this authors books.
*5 Stars*
ARC kindly received in exchange for an honest review.
I have been waiting for Hayden’s story since I got a glimpse of him in Calder’s story back when Team Player was released. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed.
While this one took me a while to get into, I think that was because I needed a little break from reading, and so I was taking my time. But once I get back into the feeling of it, I loved this book.
Hayden is a true gentleman and was a great to character to read about. Adalyn was also a fab female lead and the both of them together was just plain hot.
Once things really picked up with the whole baby daddy part of the story, good god the angst. I was speeding through just wanting to find out what would happen, and the how on earth they were going to come back from this. Adalyn was so stubborn I just wasn’t sure how things would end. AND THEN? The twist near the end. Oh good lord, Meghan what are you doing to us?
If you’re looking for a fun, yet emotional and angsty in part read, then One Baby Daddy is your book.
Review Meghan Quinn is one of my go to authors and I really didn’t think it would be possible for her books to get any better.. Boy was I wrong One Baby Daddy captivated me and blew me away, I fell hopelessly in love with Hayden Holmes, I knew his story would be special when we first met him in Twisted Twosome but his story is more than special it’s perfect. This story may span across three books but the whole book is spent in the present time with Hayden and Adalyn, there are no flashbacks just their love story. The attraction and the connection is instant, the chemistry is sizzling but Hayden isn’t a man who rushes things especially love, he wants to take it slow and really get to know Adalyn because this might be his first real relationship but he hopes it will also be his last, he hopes Adalyn is his forever girl. This love story hits some speed bumps along the way and yes I cried but there are also some moments that will have you feeling all fuzzy inside, a perfect journey with a hockey hottie who is loyal and not afraid to go after what he wants ……
A must read from the very talented Meghan Quinn.
5 star review of One Baby Daddy (Dating by Numbers #3) by Meghan Quinn
What can a professional hockey player and a nurse possibly have that could draw them together? Where do I start.? Firstly this is a book I would happily give 10 stars to in a heartbeat; what a joy it was to read this story. This is third book in the Dating by Numbers series and is a stand alone novel that was brilliantly written and executed.
I do believe I have found a new book boyfriend. Hayden Holmes, ticked all my boxes and what I wouldn’t give to have him in my life; he is one of a kind.
Just when I think Meghan Quinn’s writing cannot get any better she out does herself.
Hayden is hooked by the feisty and bold Adalyn from their first meeting. The chemistry between them is electrifying and you can almost feel the sizzle in the air.
One of the things I most enjoyed about this story was the build up, Hayden sets out to woo Adalyn and he was so romantic and sweet all I wanted to do was push Adalyn aside.
Of course all is not smooth sailing but as expected when reading a Meghan Quinn story I was totally engrossed. Throw in an unexpected pregnancy and you just know your in for one heck of a roller coaster ride. I laughed, I cried, I sighed such were the emotions I had reading One Baby Daddy.
I really loved Hayden and Adalyn, these two are meant to be together. The secondary characters were awesome and I would love to see Racer get his own book.
One click now, you will not be disappointed.
4.8 stars
Hayden Holmes. This guy. He is pure deliciousness. Decadent. savory. Sweet. We first met Hayden in book one of The Twisted Twosome, got to know him better in Three blind dates and also had an appearance in Back in the game. In each of these books, the audience was given the chance to see that this character was special. Yet, I had no idea how special until this book. I fell hard. He didn’t need to be a bad boy, or an alphahole, or even just an alpha. He just had to be him. He was genuine. He was true. He was ultimately the perfect man.
This was not a “wham bam thank you man” moment. This was a man who truly fell for a woman and who wanted everything to be perfect. Who knew being a gentleman would be so sexy? Adalyn is the typical feisty female that this author writes so well. She is engaging, feisty, and in well over her head when it comes to Hayden. She does not stand a chance. Add in seeing so many favorite characters having cameos in this book made it that much better.
I adore anything that this author writes. She is my go-to romcom author. The only reason that this did not get five stars was because of a certain guy that I felt bad for that I really wanted to see him get his happy ending. I was frustrated by what came out and wished that it had either happened earlier in the book as the main conflict or that it had more resolution. All in all, I am still very sad that this trilogy of standalones is over. I cannot wait to see what this author does next. I can guarantee that whatever it is that it will be nothing short of amazing.
The blurb description of Adalyn is “bold, sassy-“… Personally, I hated her! HATE!!!!
I’m not giving away any spoilers by saying this is about a surprise pregnancy. The title implies that so you know what to expect. What I didn’t expect was for Hayden to be such a decent, lovingly awesome boyfriend who is paired with a mega beast. BEAST!! Can you tell I didn’t like the heroine?
What I loved was Hayden, Racer, and Calder. I loved how Meghan intertwined this book with the first in the series, and how you see parallel storylines occur from this series, and Twisted Twosome.
Maybe others will like Adelyn as a heroine, but for me, she was a twat and didn’t deserve Hayden.
The story I had been waiting for and it did not disappoint
Along with some many of Meghan Quinn’s fans, I have been impatiently waiting for Hayden Holmes’ story since his introduction in Twisted Twosome. Having to not only have him taunt us in Three Blind Dates but make an appearance in Back in the Game as well – this story has been a LONG time coming. But I can safely say it has been worth the wait.
What makes this story so special is the fact is actually spans across the books I mentioned above – there’s no flashbacks or chapters set in the past, we live the story in real time as Hayden and Adalyn experience it. And I loved this (even if it took me a couple of chapters to release that’s how it was happening) because I felt like I got to know every single thing about this couple and that made it a story I could barely put down. Hayden and Adayln meet at Racer’s house and the connection, the attraction, the chemistry is electric! But Hayden doesn’t want to rush what he hopes to be his first real relationship and so he takes the long road, getting to know Adalyn and O M G this makes Hayden one of the most swoon worthy characters EVER!!
There’s a lot that happens in this story that I won’t mention because it will spoil it. Yes the title is “One Baby Daddy” so it’s pretty clear what happens but even so I don’t want to spoil the whats, hows and whys… this is a story best appreciated without too many spoilers. Because there is A LOT of drama in this story and I have to say I did enjoy every minute. I wanted to know what happened next, I needed to know everything would be ok, and I was cheering for Adalyn and Hayden from the first chapter – even if there’s is by no means an easy relationship. And for those who have read the book you will know that this one name is enough to sum up a lot of what made Adalyn and Hayden’s relationship a rocky one…. LOGAN!
Be prepared to be swept away by one hell of a hockey hottie who is ideal book boyfriend material. But also have tissues nearby because the end of the book will have you in tears – I guarantee it!! And I’m not at all surprised since Meghan Quinn knows exactly how to tug on my heartstrings and draw out some really powerful emotions from her readers! This entire series has been absolutely incredible and I have LOVED every book. Three five star books is a phenomenal feat but Meghan Quinn deserves it because this series…words can’t describe how awesome it is.
Add this series … this book to your TBR – or better yet one-click – because being able to binge the whole series when One Baby Daddy comes out will definitely be an experience worth having!!

Sweet Romance
Why why why didn’t I go with Team Jock from the get go! So we have been introduced by bits and pieces in previous books to our hero of this story. But from day one, Hayden’s character intrigued me more and more. But then I go all lusty on another one of Meghan’s characters one minute and then the next I want to drool all over Hayden and lick him up clean. Yeah yeah a little graphic, but this man had my blood boiling HOT!
So let’s talk about our very confused heroine Adalyn. Oh this author made me have a love/hate relationship with her. Through the most part I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt. But that girl had me hanging by a thread where I was hardly breathing. It’s not every day that you read a book where the roles are reversed. What do I mean? Well, you have to read this book and you will understand.
The sexiness that Hayden brings is AH-Mazing that I am still licking my lips wanting more. Will Adalyn suck it up and finally get her HEA?? The drama factor is what had my emotions all over the place…..and Adalyn’s roommate (who you will meet in the book haha) put me a little on the edge until I was not. I love this book as I knew I would.
Be ready to have baby fever after ready this book!
Hayden will make you want one!
Lucky Adalyn gets to find out how to with him. Especially with Hayden!
He is the Hunky Hockey Player that I was rooting for in the previous books.
He won my heart and my cherries were bursting to find out if he would find his goal in finding love.
Loved that the story flowed and continued smoothly from the previous books. It was like we never left the journey all these characters Author Meghan Quinn created.
Author Meghan Quinn did gives us another book boyfriend to fall head over heels in love with.
5 Cherries Popped!
4 Pucks
Meghan Quinn knows how to rip my heart out, give me hope, sew me back up, and knock me back down before giving me the HEA I’ve been dying for. This book pulled at every emotion and I loved the whole ride! Adalyn is a little confused and has a lot of push/pull moments, but as much as I was irritated with her at times, I absolutely adore her and Hayden.
I’ve been looking forward to this book the moment Hayden was mentioned in the Binghamton series, and I am not disappointed.
*ARC in exchange for an honest review*
A true testament to great writing is when the characters in books become like your friends, your tribe, your go-to peeps…
Meghan’s characters are like my lifelong friends. So when I see old friends pop up in new books, it does my heart good.
One Baby Daddy is the story of Adalyn and Hayden. This is the third book in the Dating by the Numbers series so we were introduced to Hayden in the first book.
Meghan can write hysterically funny romances and then she writes such moving stories, like this one with just a touch of humor (because that’s who Meghan is and I love her for it).
Adalyn is just amazing, she is strong, feisty and kindhearted and truly genuine. (Borrowed from Hayden’s description, because I couldn’t have said it better) She is also loyal and a bit naive, but spectacularly so. She is so ready to meet a person like Hayden and he was ready to meet her too.
Hayden has always been a favorite of mine, he is a true old fashioned gentleman at heart but with enough alpha in him to make you swoon. He too is loyal, fierce and isn’t afraid to go after what he wants. He loves the slow burn and holy hell does he do it well.
I have yet to read a book by Meghan that I haven’t fallen in love with and One Baby Daddy is no exception. This is a must read, one-click, add to your to be read list immediately!
Hayden Holmes…..we met him in Three Blind Dates and he has the hashtag #teamjock…..well, in book one I liked Hayden but I was #teamsuit……then I was team #teamrebel…..well, yes, I am #teamjock now!
Hayden won my heart over and…..yes…..he is now part of my BBF harem…..
The connection that Hayden and Adalyn have is magical….One Baby Daddy was funny (the banter was perfect!!!!), emotional, Ms. Quinn has yet another 5 Star from me!!!
I have been dying for this book! I think Hayden is my fave. Adalyn not so much! The title says it all but be ready there may or may not be a twist!
