REVIEW: SECOND CHANCE BABY is the eighteenth instalment in Taryn Quinn’s contemporary, adult CRESCENT COVE erotic, romance series. This is cover model / single father Travis Masterson, and model/actress Bridget Sheppard’s story line. SECOND CHANCE BABY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of SECOND CHANCE BABY cross over with some of the events of DRIVEN DADDY (17).

Told from dual first person perspectives (Travis and Bridget) SECOND CHANCE BABY follows the rekindling relationship between our story line couple. Travis Masterson and Bridget Sheppard were high school sweethearts, and both would make a living, working as cover models and actors but Bridget’s unplanned pregnancy and the birth of their daughter would send our heroine into a tailspin, leaving behind the man she loved, and a baby without its’ mother. Fast forward approximately ten years, Travis finds himself working opposite the woman he loves, his daughter’s mother, and the woman he is hoping to convince it is time to come home.

The world building focuses on the rebuilding romance between Bridget and Travis, a romance that picks up with very little conflict or contention. Although Bridget has been in and out of her daughter’s life, there is no strife or trepidation between Bridget and her daughter, or most of the people of Crescent Cove.

The relationship between Bridget and Travis is one of second chances. Working together reminds one another what was, and what could be again. The $ex scenes are intimate and impassioned without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar and charismatic secondary and supporting characters including Travis’s siblings, their parents Hank and JoAnn; Bridget and Travis’ daughter Carrington, as well as Bridget’s sister Lacey, and her daughter Amerie.

SECOND CHANCE BABY is a story of family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is moving-the conflict is limited and virtually non-existent ; the romance is flirty and spirited; the characters are energetic and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 31, 2024

Insulting my dream woman five minutes after the hottest hookup of my life was not how I thought today was going to go.

From lovers to enemies, we find ourselves fighting more than making up. But man, when we do make up the whole house is on fire. Okay, so it’s a cottage on the lake.

In the town I grew up in.

The same town I thought I left in my rearview when I answered New York City’s siren call.

Now I’m back trying to figure out how I went from top of my game as a graphic novelist, to failing businessman.

Maybe the key to both is where I began.

Just when I started to get my feet under me, surprise! The hot hookup gave me a brand new project to explore. I just have to convince the woman of my dreams I’m not the nightmare she thinks I am.

And I have to learn how to write a happily ever after for all three of us.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 21, 2024

Enemies to Lovers meets Beauty and The Beast with a redemption arc and a Victorian ghost for some spice.

Beauty:

The night I accidentally attacked his truck in a case of mistaken identity started us off on a very wrong foot. Or maybe not, because for me and my Beast, fighting is foreplay.

The gothic Victorian house on the lake was made for me. From the turrets to the intricate gingham details, it’s an interior designer’s wet dream. I’d spend my lunch break coming up with wild ideas on what to do with it when I could afford it one day.

Then a sold sign appeared.

Some beastly artist named Nolan Devereaux bought it—and hired my firm, Designing Women, to help decorate it. He’s an infuriating know-it-all with his grumpy nature and complete lack of understanding of the perfection of what he has.

Now we’re fighting—and making up in very non-professional ways—over renovating his house. Though he’s footing the bill, his ideas go against the usual rules for homes of significance. And the standards of the matchmaking ghost determined to keep us together.

Beast:

When my sister, Macy, moved to small town Crescent Cove, I thought she’d lost her mind. Then she started building a life—one that didn’t include me. It didn’t bother me at first.

Until the accident.

Until the scars on the inside now were on the outside for all to see.

The minute I saw that Victorian house on the lake, I knew it was where I belonged.

But this loud and opinionated designer keeps trying to dictate my renovations. Except the more she pushes her way into my life, the more I wonder if she’s been the missing piece all along.

And so is the baby she’s carrying…

•••

REVIEW:DADDY BY DESIGN is the sixteenth instalment in Taryn Quinn’s contemporary, adult CRESCENT COVE erotic, romance series. This is thirty-five year old, artist/business owner Nolan Devereaux, and designer Dahlia McKenna’s story line. DADDY BY DESIGN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Nolan is Macy Devereaux’s estranged brother (Daddy in Disguise 7)

NOTE: DADDY BY DESIGN is a slightly paranormal romance with a haunted house and a heart broken ghost.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Nolan and Dahlia) DADDY BY DESIGN follows the building but contemptuous relationship between our story line couple. Nolan Devereaux is a cantankerous, thirty-five year old artist, who has moved to Crescent Cove to be closer to the sister he left years before. An accident left Nolan deeply scarred, and in this, Nolan keeps to himself, never letting the world see what happened or why. An ‘accidental’ meeting with Dahlia McKenna brought Nolan up close and personal with the woman with whom he would fall in love but not before Dahlia discover Nolan but the old haunted mansion Dahlia has so wanted to own. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Dahlia and Nolan, and the potential fall-out as Nolan continues to push away the woman with whom he is falling in love.

The world building focuses on the remodel of a haunted house, and the ghost who struggles to move on from the past. Dahlia is a woman on a mission to uncover the truth, a truth that is heart breaking for our heroine, and the former owner of Nolan’s new house.

The relationship between Nolan and Dahlia is an enemies to frenemies to lovers. Nolan’s first impression of Dahlia was dark and damaging, and Dahlia struggled with someone else owning the house she had always wanted. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

We are introduced to Nolan’s friends Archer Baldwin, as well as the return of Lyric Bledsoe, Macy and Gideon.

DADDY BY DESIGN is a story of family and friendships, acceptance and love. The slightly paranormal premise is emotional and engaging; the romance is seductive; the characters are stubborn and sassy.

TAMING THE BOSS
The Moguls 1
by Taryn Quinn
Genre: adult, contemporary, erotic, romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 19, 2024

Falling for my grumpy new boss was unexpected. Falling into his…shower and not taking precautions? Even more so.

Stumbling over the ad searching for a nanny changed my life. And the address led right to the fancy big house on a hill overlooking Crescent Lake…

The one that had just come off the market in a high-stakes bidding war.

Owned by a secretive, hot newcomer in town everyone was speculating about. He had complicated, secret connections in the Cove about to rock one of the town’s founding families.

Not to mention, an adorable little boy he just discovered—with no mother in sight.

Apparently, I was going to be his new nanny. Or maybe his son’s new mommy?

And potentially, once that pregnancy stick reveals two lines, the wife of the Cove’s newest billionaire mogul in the making…

••••••

REVIEW:TAMING THE BOSS is the first instalment in Taryn Quinn’s contemporary, adult THE MOGULS erotic, romance series, a spin off , set in the Crescent Cove series. This is thirty-three year old, billionaire businessman/ single father Jude Keller , and twenty-one year old, nanny Maddie Masterson’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Maddie and Jude) TAMING THE BOSS follows Jude Keller’s arrival in Crescent Cove in the wake of the discovery of a son he never knew. A new home, a new town, and a child of three, Jude’s attitude leaves something to be desired, an attitude that requires a nanny and a strong hand. Enter Maddie Masterson, the woman with whom Jude will fall in love. What ensues is the building relationship between Jude and Maddie, and the introduction of Jude’s extended family and their surprise revelations.

The world building focuses on Jude’s struggle as a single father, oblivious to just about everything a child needs or wants. As Maddie dives head first into the world of nanny and cook, Jude discovers his lack of parenting skills is matched by his lack of the basic knowledge of how the real world runs.

The relationship between Jude and Maddie begins acrimoniously as a flustered Jude struggles with real world problems. Having already applied for the position as nanny, Maddie begins to take charge before agreeing to help raise Jude’s son Owen. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include businessmen Xavier Hastings and Gavin Forrester, Jude’s sister Sydney Keller brothers Oliver and Seth Hamilton; father James Hamilton, as well as Jude’s ex Melissa Smith; and Maddie’s extended family and over protective brother Christian.

TAMING THE BOSS is a story of secrets and lies, family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is inviting ; the characters are sassy and animated ; the romance is spicy .

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 15, 2022

Note to self: never ever lose your pants while at the town’s lookout point…

I’m a former bad boy turned one of the newest cops in Crescent Cove. No matter what, I’m determined to earn the respect of my fellow cops—and my law enforcement family, including my older brother Brady—as the new guy.

My new next door neighbor is also my new sister-in-law. She’s smoking hot, but her personality is as combustible as the blowtorch I use to create my ice sculptures.

I should stay far, far away.

But she’s gorgeous, funny and smart. Plus, she’s just about the only one in this town as wild as me.

We dared each other to do something crazy.

Naked crazy.

And after an unexpected night that nearly got us cited for public lewdness, now she’s having my baby…

REVIEW: COP DADDY NEXT DOOR is the thirteenth instalment in Taryn Quinn’s contemporary adult CRESCENT COVE erotic, romance series. This is Crescent Cove police officer Maverick McNeill, and artist Vanessa Monaghan’s story line. COP DADDY NEXT DOOR can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous storylines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Maverick and Vanessa) COP DADDY NEXT DOOR follows the frenemies to lover relationship between police officer Maverick McNeill, and artist Vanessa Monaghan Maverick McNeill’s brother and fellow police officer Brady is about to marry the woman he loves Tabitha Monaghan, a woman who is very, very pregnant but Tabitha’s twin sister Vanessa is the bane of Maverick’s existence, and is currently our hero’s new neighbor. The sexual attraction between Vanessa and Maverick is palpable, and one night together is interrupted by the local police, and the possibility of another Crescent Cove baby. What ensues is the preparations for Brady and Tabitha’s upcoming wedding and baby, and the building romance and relationship between Maverick and Vanessa.

Crescent Cove is all about babies and love but neither Maverick nor Vanessa had ever considered one or the other.Maverick battled his attraction to the woman who pushed all of his buttons; and Vanessa was willing to offer one night together, a night that would change their entire future.

The relationship between Maverick and Vanessa is a frenemies to lover; a reluctant attraction between two people connected by marriage and blood but an attraction that was clear and apparent to everyone. With the possibility of a baby, and the joining of two families, Vanessa and Maverick threw caution to the proverbial wind, and follow their hearts to their own happily ever after. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Several of the previous story lines couples return as secondary and supporting characters including Brady and Tabitha: Luna and Caleb; Gideon and Macy; as well as Christian and Honey whose story is told next.

COP DADDY NEXT DOOR is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love. The premise is heart warming and entertaining; the romance is hot and heavy; the characters are energetic and captivating.

She was the storm I never saw coming…

Rescuing a runaway guest from my cousin’s wedding reception on my horse was never in my plans.

Nor was falling for her from the first glance.

It was just supposed to be one night between strangers.

She’s a rich socialite from Manhattan who stopped believing in forever.

I’m the head of my family orchard in a rural small town who carefully plans and plants and is all about growing roots.

On paper, we don’t make sense.

But in real life, she’s my everything. And I’m hers.

The time has come for her to fight for her forever…and us.

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.

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 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

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 17, 2023

Looking to rent a pussy.

Say what?

I’d never seen an ad phrased quite like that before. Not only did it raise my eyebrows, but the late night attention it drew dangerously exceeded our kitten rescue’s bandwidth.

So I did my admin duty and sent the ad writer a warning message.

I didn’t have to send her personal messages.

Or have flirty chats on the phone.

I especially didn’t need to go to her place for late night…kitten calls.

I soon realized she might be exactly who I needed to get my matchmaking family off my back, if she would just attend an important event with me.

She told me over and over she wasn’t girlfriend material—fake or otherwise.

I didn’t listen.

And now I’m ready to put it all on the line to make sure my Kitty understands that our love is very real.

Let the fur fly.

Needing a plus one for her stay at home companion Princess Goldenrod, Katherine aka Kitty uses the local kitten forum to find a friend for her lonely cat but all does not go well when our heroine is suspected of procuring sexual favors, favors to be found on the local site. Kitty, believing she has been catfished, invites Dr. Clint Hauser over to meet her cat but quickly discovers her heart will be lost to our story line hero. What ensues is a quick building romance and relationship between Clint and Kitty, and the potential fall-out as extended family members and friends get worried for their eccentric loved ones.

Katherine ‘Kitty’ Armitage is lonely but her loneliness is complicated by agoraphobia, and a job that keeps her inside, most of the time. Her unconventional and often erratic behavior is questionable at best but meeting Dr. Clint Hauser give hopes to an otherwise lonely existence. Clint Hauser is a former romance cover model/turned veterinarian who is over worked, and stressed due to the inordinate amount of heart breaking work and volunteer hours but Clint needs a plus one for the upcoming holidays, and believes Kitty is the perfect foil to keep his family at bay. Believing ‘Kitty’ is soliciting for $ex on the kitten forum, Clint demands proof of our heroine’s ‘lies’. Finding himself pulled into the craziness that is Kitty Armor, Clint discovers his mind and his body relax in the company of our story line heroine.

The relationship between Clint and Kitty is one of immediate but curious attraction. Kitty has been alone for so long she is willing to invite a stranger into her life, and Clint needs a well deserved vacation, even if only for a few hours at a time. The $ex scenes are passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and idiosyncratic secondary and supporting characters including Kitty’s father, and her agent Magnus; Clint’s sisters Emmaline , Felicia and Melodie, and his father Clintondale Hauser Jr.

DESPERATELY SEEKING KITTY is a wild romantic comedy focusing on real-life situations that aren’t supposed to be funny but the over the top, actions and idiosyncratic behaviors of our story line heroine bring out the crazy in everyone including family and friends. At times wild, comedic and frenetic but often overwhelming, the story line premise is entertaining and captivating; the romance is provocative and steamy; the characters are lively and spirited.
