ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 30, 2020

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.

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.

REVIEW: DADDY UNDERCOVER is the ninth instalment in Taryn Quinn’s (Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott ) contemporary, adult CRESCENT COVE erotic, romance series focusing on the small town of Crescent Cove. This is thirty-four year old, Sheriff Jared Brooks, and twenty-four year old, diner waitress Regina ‘Gina’ Ramos’ story line. DADDY UNDERCOVER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Jared and Gina) DADDY UNDERCOVER follows the best friends to lovers relationship between thirty-four year old, Sheriff Jared Brooks, and twenty-four year old, diner waitress Regina ‘Gina’ Ramos. Sheriff Jared Brooks is shocked to discover an abandoned baby on his door step but is even more ill-equipped to handle an infant without having any prior experience. Desperate for help, Jared calls in his best friend Gina Ramos, and Gina willingly yet reluctantly finds herself playing house with the man that calls to her heart but as Jared tries to keep secret a baby he believes to be his own child, small town gossip begins a betting pool as Gina and Jared are seen together at every opportunity. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Gina and Jared, and the potential fall-out as Gina believes Jared sees their friendship, and Gina’s growing love for the baby as an opportunity to provide permanent childcare.

The relationship between Jared and Gina is a friends to lovers relationship wherein neither one has crossed the line with each other into something more. Jared’s one-night stand, one year earlier, resulted in a child he knew nothing about but Jared lost his heart to Gina Ramos, a woman who struggles with the baby-boom explosion in Crescent Cove. As Gina and Jared’s relationship quickly turns into something more, Gina begins to withdraw when she sees nothing but potential heart break on the horizon. 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, energetic and familiar secondary and supporting characters including several of the previous story line couples as well as Gina’s sisters Erica, Frankie and Gabby,and their mother Bonnie, and police officer Christian.

DADDY UNDERCOVER is a story of secrets and surprises, family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is inviting and lively ; the characters are flirty, dynamic and realistic; the romance is spicy and spirited.
