I loved the MMC, Hayden.  He is so thoughtful and put in so much effort I their relationship. The FMC is selfish and acted clueless especially with her friend, Logan.  She was also very immature in so many ways that annoyed me. So much that I didn’t want them to end up together. She doesn’t deserve Hayden.

Let's Pretend This Story Never Happened . . .

"Loyalty and love go hand in hand."

I was really looking froward to reading Hayden's story ever since he was introduced in the short story featuring his best friend and teammate, Calder and Rachel Back in the Game and from the sneak-peaks of him in Three Blind Dates, but One Baby Daddy really disappointed me. And it sucks so much when one of your favorite authors writes such a blah story for a character your really like.

The story was fun and the spark between Adalyn and Hayden seemed like it was leading up to a good stroyline, but everything took a nosedive into and uncontrollable tailspin starting in Chapter 15. After that I really struggled to finish the story. I despised Adalyn (and Logan - don't even get me started . . . ), her attitude and behavior, the angsty nonsense, and the unnecessary drama. The storyline suffered and I have no idea why MQ went in the direction she did with ODB. Hayden's story could have been so much better, and Adalyn could have been a good match - she seemed fun when she was introduced as Emma's friend in her story My Best Friend's Ex - but she was awful in this story. I felt no love and loyalty from Adalyn and I feel sorry that Hayden ended up with her.

This is by far the most disappointing book I've read by MQ and one of the most disappointing books I've read this year.

2 stars for writing, and Hayden and his fun twin brothers (fun novella potential with those two).

Yikes. I don’t even know where to begin with this one.

The first 50% of this book was amazing. I loved it! Hayden Holmes is the sweetest angel cinnamon roll. The man is so sweet. And Adalyn was witty, funny and understanding.

Then at 50%, it’s all down hill. Listen, I can get past an accidental pregnancy trope if it’s written well and this one just wasn’t. Adalyn proceeds to NOT TELL Hayden she’s pregnant and then complain how he’s not around and how his life isn’t changing at all. No shit Sherlock. HE DOESN’T KNOW.

Then, we get a love triangle thrown in which I hate even more than an accidental pregnancy. It was all handled so poorly.

Hayden was out here doing the most, literally anything and everything he could do to take care of Adalyn and she’s so freaking wishy washy. Leading on two men, tbh, and not ever being up front and direct with either of them about what she was feeling.

Ugh, so disappointing. Hayden Holmes deserves so much better.

This has been my favorite meghan quinn book so far. So much emotion in this one and I liked how the series flowed. It shows there’s one more novella, date night, but I can’t find it anywhere. After reading this book the novella of Caulder and Rachel did make more sense. Caulder was Hayden’s best friend so it was nice to have his and Rachel’s story on how they got together, it wasn’t needed but it was nice. This book actually starts before the first one technically. After Hayden plays his losing game on the ice he heads to his old hometown where his best friend Racer still lives. Racer holds him a welcome home party. When he goes inside to put beer in the fridge he notices racer has a lot of unpaid bills, while looking at them he’s caught by a beautiful brunette who asks who he is. She introduces herself as Adeline. Racer tells Hayden that Addy is off limits. The next day Hayden goes to multiple hospitals in search of her since he didn’t get her number and couldn’t ask racer for it. He finally finds her and makes a bit of a fool of himself claiming he brought her a used chapstick and a dollar. And then he asks her for her number and a date. She gives her number up easily and agrees to the date. For some reason I can’t remember their first date but I do know addy fell asleep at Hayden’s so he carried her into his bed and planned to snuggle her but when took her pants off and after seeing her ass in a thong he knew he couldn’t snuggle her. He woke up to her fingering his chest and then she went under her waist line. He saw she was still sleeping and went and took a shower to contain himself. He told addy she had touched him in her sleep and at first she denied it and then she admitted to being awake the whole time. Addy and Hayden had crazy sexual tension but he tells her he wants to take things slow and know her mentally before physically. Hayden slips up and tells racer he’s seeing addy. Racer is upset at first but when addy tells him they haven’t even kissed yet racer realizes this is different. Addy was always one night stands with guys and then they’d be gone and she’s actually keeping Hayden around. Hayden impresses her constantly and tries to win her over. He takes her to New York with him for a photoshoot. And introduces her as his girlfriend on camera. Before he takes her to Hamilton she looks so good that he gives in and fucks her. I forgot to say they started kissing a long time ago but he wouldn’t let it go farther. So while in New York they explored and loved each other’s bodies. She even got to meet Rachel and Caulder who she loved. When they got home Hayden knew nothing could tear them apart he wanted to start talking to her about how they’d make things work when hockey season starts back up. While Addy is at work, Logan comes over to her and tells her how sorry he is and when he realizes she doesn’t know what he’s talking about he tells her that Hayden was traded off to go to La. He would be across the country from her. Hayden got to the hospital and begged her to talk to him but she was in shock and Logan got all protective and she told him she’d talk to him that night. Addy thought it over and knew there was no way they could make the distance work so they had to call things off before it hurt even worse. When she went to Hayden’s he asked her to move with him to try to make this work and see it through but she told him she couldn’t uproot her life and that he was just a fling nothing more. She broke Hayden’s heart. So he went to La. And he was lonely so Caulder made his going in blind account where he went on the date with Noely that we get to see from his pov. He was still very much hung up on addy and just needed a friend in town. Meanwhile back home addy had figured out she had skipped her birth control and was pregnant. Her best friend Emma made her take the pregnancy test at work therefore when she came out of the janitors closet, Logan seen it. He decided to step up and be there for her. This was odd for Addy because Logan had broke her heart before, they had been best friends and had a one night stand and after he told her it was a mistake and they’ve never been the same since. She felt so used after that night so Logan stepping up to help her is a big deal. She decided she wasn’t going to tell Hayden she was pregnant that there was no reason for him to know. Logan was on her side but Emma and racer told her that wasn’t fair. Emma send Hayden an email and asked him to come see Addy when he was in New York for a game. So he drove to her only to have Logan come to the door. He was pissed but then Addy went to puke in the toilet and he realized she was pregnant and then she told him it was his. And everything changed. He was hurt that she wasn’t going to tell him and while they both sat in separate room and cooled down he made a plan. He talked to one of his team mates Chris whose wife works at a family doctor. He got addy a position there where she could move to La with him. He introduces it all and tells her to think it over so that they can raise this baby together. After talking about the job on the phone she accepts the offer and moves across the country. When Hayden shows up at her new apartment to start trying to win her back he is unpleased to see Logan there and then finds out that Logan moved with her. This is a roadblock he wasn’t expecting but he’ll work around it. Addy and Hayden go on a date and it’s perfect and she can feel her barricade falling down and how bad she wants Hayden but he has the power to break her and that terrifies her. We get a POV from Logan that he’s going to make his move on addy and that he’s always had feelings for her so he takes her out to a fancy dinner and when they get home he tells her he loves her and tries to kiss her. Addy wasn’t expecting that at all and holes herself up in her room. She has a date with Hayden and one thing leads to another and they have sex again. When she falls asleep she dreams it’s Logan she’s beside and she wakes up scared because it’s supposed to be Hayden. When she wakes up beside Hayden she is very confused there is so much in her brain along with the fact that she has baby brain. Hayden asks her if she has feelings for Logan and she goes quiet. He gives her an altimatum that he gave her tickets for her game if she is waiting for him in the family room after the game she’s his forever and if she isn’t then they will raise this baby together but he will quit trying and fighting for her because he loves her but won’t compete for her love. Addy tells Logan she doesn’t love him the way he loves her and decides she will go to Hayden’s game. While on the way there she’s on the phone with racer while in the Uber and she’s telling him about everything and how she’s choosing Hayden she asks the Uber driver to please quit texting and driving and then while on the phone with racer the Uber driver runs a stop sign, gets hit on the driver side and they go into a ditch where they hit a fire hydrant and the car starts to fill with water. During all this Hayden is playing his heart out at his game hoping that addy is watching. After the game she’s not in the family room and he’s heartbroken he really hoped she had chose him. He ignored his phone and just mopes. That’s when Chris shows up and tells him addy was in an accident and offers to drive him to the hospital while on the way he calls racer who tells him he was on the phone with her when it happened and she was on her way to Hayden. She was going to pick him. But he also feels so guilty she was on her way to him. When he gets to the hospital Chris wife and Logan are there and tesry eyed and all they know if she’s unresponsive. The doctor comes out and lets Hayden know their son is fine, THEYRE HAVING A BOY. And that she’s in a coma. The doctor says due to the baby being his he’s going to allow him in her room and to keep him out of the public eye. This doctor was really great to Hayden. Logan told Hayden he was backing off and wouldn’t be a threat and they came to a silent man agreement that they both love her. Hayden stayed by addys bedside and he woke up to her combing through his hair. She’s awake! He told her how much he loves her and she says she loves him too. It goes to the epilogue where they are married and Logan is helping them paint the baby’s room and decide on colors and she’s 9 months pregnant. Addy wins with the color blue and Logan leaves and then they make love. I loved this book. When addy had her car accident I was tearing up like please don’t take her or the baby please don’t do this to me and thankfully we had a fully happy ending. This was the most emotional a meghan quinn book has made me. I love that through this series we got to see how it all entertwined and the boys pov on their dates with Noely. And then their happy ever afters. All in all I really loved this series and I wish I could find the date night novella which is supposed to be Noelys brother and sister in laws book!!!
