ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 25, 2023

It’s been a very long time since I’ve been with a woman.

By choice. Even as my brother and my fellow cops have paired off and started families, I’ve focused on policing Crescent Cove.

It’s a good small town filled with great businesses, wonderful families, and babies. Many, many babies.

But I’m not about that life.

Until we hire a new dispatcher after Bonnie retires.

She’s younger than I am. Beautiful. The sunshine to the worst of my grumpiness.

Hooking up with her is off-limits. I shouldn’t do it. And yet how am I supposed to resist the first woman who’s made me want to…well…not be so much of a d!ck?

She doesn’t know about my past. But now she and the baby she’s carrying are my future…

REVIEW: PROTECTOR DADDY is the fourteenth instalment in Taryn Quinn’s contemporary, adult CRESCENT COVE erotic, romance series. This is thirty-six year old Crescent Cove police officer Christian Masterson, and twenty-four year old dispatcher Honey McNeill’s story line. PROTECTOR DADDY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary

Told from dual first person perspectives (Christian and Honey) PROTECTOR DADDY follows the age-gap relationship between thirty-six year old Crescent Cove police officer Christian Masterson, and twenty-four year old dispatcher Honey McNeill. Honey McNeill is struggling with a direction in life. Having applied for a dispatcher position at the Crescent Cove police station Honey comes face to face with officer Christian Masterson, the man who is about to star in all of her fantasies and dreams but Christian’s boss is Honey’s brother, and our couple find themselves in a secret relationship where the end result is another Crescent Cove baby but Christian has another secret that is about to be exposed, a secret that no one ever some coming.

The relationship between Christian and Honey has been building but Honey’s brothers work with our story line hero, and Christian is about to cross a line in which the entire town of Crescent Cove becomes involved in his and Honey’s personal life. The baby explosion is real, and Christian and Honey are about to jump head first into the mix. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and busy secondary and supporting characters. Both Honey and Christian’s extended families are deeply involved in everyone’s life, an involvement that is protective yet interfering and smothering, at the same time.

PROTECTOR DADDY looks at the ever expanding population of Crescent Cove. The expression ‘something in the water’ holds true for our story line couples, and each successive instalment jokingly questions what’s happening and why. The premise is entertaining and pleasing; the romance is heart warming and fated; the characters are sassy and dynamic
