Bodyguard by Night (Happy Acres 2) by Taryn Quinn-a review

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 13, 2022

Protecting my best friend’s new sister-in-law Willow from a fan who wants to get a little too close is a no-brainer.

Just requires me to do some checking around, to act as her shadow for a while, maybe even give her a place to stay so I can keep an eye on her—all so my best friend’s small-town wedding to Willow’s sister goes off without a hitch.

But many hours spent in close quarters changes the game quickly. And now Willow—Chaos to me—is no longer just a job.

She’s a bright light who shines into all the darkest corners of my solitary-by-choice life. Until a snap decision I make to try to draw out her stalker risks our relationship—and her life.

Suddenly, I’m not just trying to keep her safe, I’m part of the picture. And the race is on for us to figure out who is tracking us before the price goes far too high

•••••••

REVIEW:BODYGUARD BY NIGHT is the second instalment in Taryn Quinn’s contemporary, adult HAPPY ACRES erotic, romance series set in the author’s Crest Cove world, a spin off /companion to the author’s Found In Oblivion/Lost in Oblivion series. . This is thirty-six year old, security specialist /businessman Ransom Douglas, and twenty-six year old podcaster/ baker Willow Doyle’s story line. BODYGUARD BY NIGHT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous storyline is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ransom and Willow) BODYGUARD BY NIGHT follows Willow Doyle and Ransom Douglas in the weeks before Willow’s sister’s wedding. Willow Doyle is currently homeless having walked out on a toxic relationship with her former roommates. With no place to go, Willow heads home for her sister’s wedding where she will come face to face with her future, and the best man, Ransom Douglas but all is not well is Willow’s life, and everything is about to get a little more complicated. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Willow and Ransom, and the potential fall-out as a stalker sets his sights on our story line heroine.

Willow Doyle has a stalker, but more precisely several stalkers, but one in particular has made it their mission to get up close and personal. This is not the first time Willow’s life has spiralled out of control but with the help of Ransom Douglas, and his team of experts at Roth Security, Willow will have more protection than she could have ever imagined. Staying with Ransom forces the couple together, living with Ransom begins to blur the lines between friendship and love.

The relationship between Willow and Ransom is one of immediate attraction but our couple tends to butt heads at every opportunity. With someone threatening our story line heroine, Ransom becomes protector and bodyguard of the woman with whom he will fall in love. The $ex scenes are passionate and intense without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including several from the author’s Crescent Cove Series. We are reintroduced to Willow’s sister Rachel and her fiance Clay(Fiance by Christmas 1), Willow and Rachel’s Aunt Laverne, as well as Clay and Ransom’s former friend Reid, and Ransom’s sisters Marigold and Maple. Reid’s story is next.

BODYGUARD BY NIGHT is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love; obsession and delusion. The premise is intriguing; the romance is seductive; the characters are charismatic and dynamic..but..the revelation, identity and take down of the stalker is anti-climactic; the conflict resolution a little disappointing.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 16, 2022

I’ll do anything for the cookie…

I’m used to playing the field. But specialty baker Tabitha caught my attention the first time I tasted her…frosting.

Suddenly I’m offering my services in any way I can.

Need some furniture moved? Check.
Followed by rogue ducks? Check.
Weird noises late at night? Check.

Except that late night when I’m on patrol and she calls for assistance, we fall into bed.

And onto the kitchen counter.

And into the shower.

Spoiler: I didn’t need help finding the soap.

Turns out that whole protect-and-serve thing apparently doesn’t extend to birth control. Oops.

But if I can convince her I’m ready to be a one-woman man, our spontaneous hookup might just lead to forever.

•••••••

REVIEW:DADDY ON DUTY is the twelfth instalment in Taryn Quinn’s contemporary, adult CRESCENT COVE erotic, romance series focusing on the ‘baby explosion’ in the small town of Crescent Cove. This is former FBI agent turned police officer Deputy Brady McNeill , and baker owner Tabitha Monaghan’s story line. DADDY ON DUTY 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 (Tabitha and Brady) DADDY ON DUTY follows the building romance and relationship between former FBI agent turned police officer Deputy Brady McNeill , and baker owner Tabitha Monaghan. Tabitha Monaghan didn’t know what to do when she found an abandoned puppy behind her shop but when her neighbor Deputy Brady McNeill offered his services, our couple opted to co-parent the puppy Tabitha named Pancake, a co-parenting that would lead to something more. When their time spent together became fodder for the gossips of Crescent Cove, Tabitha would become the target of a jealous ex but not before discovering the truth about Crescent Cove’s baby explosion. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Tabitha and Brady, and the potential fall-out as neither had plans for anything permanent, plans that now include so much more.

Brady McNeill moved back to Crescent Cove never expecting to settle down with anyone special but meeting his neighbor, and sharing responsibilities for a lost puppy, Brady offered up a ‘friends with benefits’ arrangement that quickly took on a life of its’ own. Tabitha Monaghan never thought she would have time for a social life having worked non-stop to keep her bakery afloat for the past two years. As her business gained momentum, Tabitha found herself the target of gossip when the rumors began to spread about her and the local ‘hot cop’.

The relationship between Tabitha and Brady begins as a friends with benefits as they share ‘custody’ of an abandoned pup. Brady has no plans to settle down, and his reputation in Crescent Cove does nothing to alleviate Tabitha’s concerns when she discovers that their friendship has quickly turned into something more.Tabitha struggled in the wake of her positive pregnancy news, news she hoped Brady would accept in the face of everything else. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to Tabitha’s twin sister Vanessa Monaghan, as well as Brady’s siblings Honey McNeill, Deputy Maverick ‘Mav’ McNeill; officer Christian Masterson. Maverick and Vanessa’s story is next in COPY DADDY NEXT DOOR.

DADDY ON DUTY is a story of family and friendships, relationships, babies and love. The fast paced premise is captivating; the romance is flirty and fun; the characters are charismatic but the ex-girlfriend was more of a red herring than anything else. There was no reason for her appearance or actions, and it did nothing to impart any major conflict or suspense- she magically disappeared without a trace.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 31, 2021

The deal: for Tish to help me get my best friend engaged—done!

The terms: payback in any form Tish wishes. Hopefully to include hours of favors of the physical persuasion, no reciprocation needed.

The reality: rebuilding her old farmhouse practically from the ground up for her family’s upcoming visit on short notice.

Long hours revamping Tish’s place leads to more than a few sparks…and not the kind that require the fire department. So, when she needs a date for a memorial, I’m not missing my chance.

But surprise! Crescent Cove baby water works even out of town. Who knew?

Now I’m determined to show Tish I’m the man—and daddy-to-be—of her dreams, no matter what roadblocks are in my way. And I’ll use every one of my Lucky-style wiles to prove it to her…

•••••••••

REVIEW: LUCKY BABY is the eleventh instalment in Taryn Quinn’s contemporary, adult CRESCENT COVE erotic, romance series focusing on the small town of Crescent Cove, and the ongoing baby boom. This is twenty-six year old, auto mechanic Tish Burns, and thirty year old, builder/handyman/carpenter Lucky Roberts’ story line. LUCKY BABY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Lucky and Tish’s story line begins in Wrong Bed Baby. There is a slight cross over with the mention some of the characters from the author’s FOUND IN OBLIVION series.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Tish and Lucky) LUCKY BABY follows the building romance and relationship between auto mechanic Tish Burns, and builder/handyman/carpenter Lucky Roberts. Several months earlier Lucky Roberts needed Tish Burns help to ‘push’ together his best friend Caleb Beck with self proclaimed witch Luna Hastings. Fast forward to present day wherein Tish’s family is coming to Crescent Cove for the holidays, including her brother Cohen, an injured smoke-jumper who will be staying for an extended period of time. Tish is about to call in a favor, a favor promised from our story line hero.. Desperate to renovate for her family’s visit, Tish asks Lucky to remodel her barn into a large living space, space big enough to keep her brothers entertained. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Lucky and Tish, and the potential fall-out as Tish’s relationship with Cohen comes to a head with secrets from the past.

Tish Burns is a bit of an independent loner; a brusque, unsociable woman who prefers doing things her own way but our heroine isn’t equipped to renovate an entire barn, and calls in a favor from Lucky Roberts. Lucky knows that one day Tish will be his happily ever after and convincing the reclusive Tish will be a job in itself but a trip to visit Tish’s family back home reveals a fractured family, one that Tish’s brother Cohen is hoping to right.

The relationship between Tish and Lucky is one of immediate attraction but Tish tends to keep to herself, preferring her work, and staying alone. With Lucky renovating her barn, Tish finds herself pulled into the aura that is Lucky Roberts, an aura that will see our couple on the road to happily ever after. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters as the town of Crescent Cove prepares for Luna and Caleb’s wedding. We are introduced to Tish’s brothers: Cohen, Ezra and Rhett, as well as their father Jeff Burns. Here’s hoping the authors have plans for the Burns brothers.

LUCKY BABY is a story family and relationships, acceptance and love. The premise is inviting and spicy; the characters are flirty and spirited; the romance is provocative and fun.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 14, 2021

Happily ever after starts at Happy Acres…or does it?

Holiday checklist:

• Spend time with my family while staying at Happy Acres Orchard and recovering from life implosion #1.
• Getting my mojo back by working in the gift shop and our brand new venture, the CocoaBus.
• Resisting kisses from the handsome, mysterious, pain in the butt owner of the nearby Christmas tree farm.

New holiday checklist (last one went off the rails):

• Having good old-fashioned fun with my family while serving our many customers at the busiest time of the year.
• Regaining my confidence in marketing and working with the public, what I do best.
• Lots and lots of steamy no-strings holiday hijinks with the deliciously annoying man I can’t keep my hands off…and it’s not just because he has the finest tree—ahem, trees—around.

Final holiday checklist (you know the drill):

• Survive Christmas after life implosion #2 courtesy of the enigmatic man I couldn’t keep myself from falling for — or maybe, just maybe, find the way to save the holiday for both of us.

•••••••

REVIEW: FIANCEE BY CHRISTMAS is the first in instalmen in Taryn Quinn’s contemporary, adult HAPPY ACRES erotic, romance series, a spin off /companion to the author’s Crescent Cove/Found In Oblivion/Lost in Oblivion series. This is billionaire tech whiz/Christmas tree farmer Clay Winslow, and former event planner Rachel Doyle’s story line. You do not have to have read the aforementioned series. Rachel is cousin Lila Crandall (Lost in Oblivion).

Told from dual first person perspectives (Rachel and Clay) FIANCEE BY CHRISTMAS follows the building romance and relationship between billionaire tech whiz/Christmas tree farmer Clay Winslow, and former event planner Rachel Doyle. Rachel Doyle’s life as an event planner imploded the day she had a panic attack, and the media were relentless and unforgiving. Working at her aunt’s ranch meant staying off the grid, taking time for herself but Rachel never expected to meet the new owner of the Christmas tree farm, a handsome man with secrets of his own. As Rachel sets a plan into motion to bring more people to the farm including a cocoa bus, Clay begins a slow seduction of the woman who is about to turn his world upside down. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Rachel and Clay, and the potential fall-out a Clay’s life back home to about to collide with his life at Happy Acres Orchard farms.

The relationship between Rachel and Clay is one of immediate attraction but Rachel is oblivious to Clay’s true identity. Clay bought the farm to escape his life in Manhattan never suspecting that Rachel was once the event planner to the elite of New York. As their relationship turns sexual, Clay must decided if Rachel is his happily ever after, or return home and marry a woman more suitable to his status. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar secondary and supporting characters including members of the band Oblivion; Clay’s security specialist and former Special Forces solider Ransom Douglas, as well as socialite Helena Danbury, and Rachel’s sister Willow, Aunt Laverne and Uncle Fred. Ransom and Willow’s story is next in Bodybuard by Night.

FIANCEE BY CHRISTMAS is a story of family and relationships, friendships and love. The premise is engaging and heart warming; the romance is seductive and captivating; the characters are charismatic and fun.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 25, 2021

To whom it may concern: I quit.

Preston Michael Shaw.

PMS, as I like to call him.

I don’t need his job. I don’t need his fancy designer suits or his arrogance or his claims that I put a hex on him, because of course a strong, empowered woman needs to put a spell on a man.

As if I want him.

Pfft. He should be so lucky.

I definitely don’t need his irritating demands for caramel-coconut coffee or his fixation on being on time.

Spoiler—I’m not, ever.

I certainly don’t appreciate how his touch singes my skin. Literally.

I need to stop obsessing about him. It’s just hormones.

One roll in the silk sheets and I’ll be over him.

But we can’t sleep together until my best friend—his real assistant—comes back from vacation.

Damn his admirable morals and my flaming panties.

And now I’ve been cursed, because I can’t resist the hottest, most annoying man I’ve ever known…

Author’s note: His Temporary Assistant is a standalone office romantic comedy set in our small town Kensington Square, which is near Crescent Cove. It has a happily-ever-after ending and no cliffhanger.

•••••••

REVIEW:HIS TEMPORARY ASSISTANT is the first instalment in Taryn Quinn’s contemporary, adult KENSINGTON SQUARE erotic, romance series set in the authors’ Crescent Cove world. This is podcaster. artist and Tarot reader Ryan Moon, and divorce attorney Preston Michael Shaw’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Preston and Ryan) HIS TEMPORARY ASSISTANT follows the building romance and relationship between podcaster, artist and Tarot reader Ryan Moon, and divorce attorney Preston Michael Shaw. Preston Shaw’s assistant April was taking a week of unscheduled vacation and hired her best friend Ryan to take her place but to Preston’s shock, Ryan Moon, was a feisty, otherworldly, woman with no legal experience but a woman who stirred something deep within our story line hero. Five days together would quickly turn into something more but their rapidly building relationship would have Ryan faltering with what the Tarot cards had to say, and the possibility that she was falling in love with a man who was only a temporary stop in her life. What ensues is the quick building romance and relationship between Preston and Ryan, and the potential fall- out as Preston struggles with both his personal and professional future, and Ryan battles between head and heart as it pertains to our story line hero.

Preston Shaw likes order in his life but the surprise announcement of his assistant’s vacation pushed Preston Shaw over the proverbial edge. From the outset his first encounter with Ryan was acrimonious at best but something about Ryan drew our hero like a moth to a flame. Ryan Moon never expected to fall for her best friend’s boss, knowing he had always been a consummate professional with April but Ryan was never one to tow the line, and in this, our heroine began to push all of Preston’s proverbial buttons.

The relationship between Ryan and Preston begins as a temporary position for our story line heroine but her dependency upon the Tarot cards meant Ryan struggled with the continuing results. Believing Preston to be her future, Ryan is willing to step out of her comfort zone pulling Preston along for the ride. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic, language and text.

We are introduced to Ryan’s best friend and Preston’s PA April; her mother Rainbow Moon; Preston’s brother Dexter, their parents; and veterinarian Grant Thorne.

HIS TEMPORARY ASSISTANT is story of revelations, acceptance, relationships and love; a story of family, denial, and changes. The premise is engaging and captivating ; the characters are fun and flirty; the romance is seductive and hot.

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.

Okay, so he wasn’t actually my ex.

August is my best friend’s older brother, and he just went with me to Macy and Gideon’s wedding. You know, friends with no benefits.

Then we ended up having sex at said wedding.

At the reception, not during the actual ceremony. Hello, I have some manners.

We agreed to not do it again. Until I thought I was pregnant. And instead of being upset, I was happy.

Except I wasn’t. Pregnant, that is.

Then I drunk dialed August and asked him to make a baby with me.

On purpose.

I wanted to take it back. To die of shame.

But the next thing I knew, he was at my door…

Author’s note: The hero doesn’t start out as a single father, but practice makes perfect. My Ex’s Baby is a standalone romantic comedy with a HEA ending and no cliffhanger.

••••••••

REVIEW: MY EX’S BABY is the eighth instalment in Taryn Quinn’s (Cari Quinn / Taryn Elliot) contemporary, adult CRESCENT COVE erotic, romance series focusing on the small town of Crescent Cove. This is furniture maker August Beck , and shop owner Kinleigh Scott’s story line. MY EX’S BABY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Kinleigh and August) MY EX’S BABY follows the friends to lovers relationship between furniture maker August Beck , and shop owner Kinleigh Scott. August Beck has been in love with his sister’s best friend for as long as he can remember and sharing retail space finds Kinleigh always on his radar and on his mind. A one-night stand following Macy and Gideon’s wedding (Daddy in Disguise #7) meant getting up close and personal with the woman he loved but August never expected Kinleigh to push away any thoughts of a future until our heroine suggest a baby, together. What ensues is the building relationship between Kinleigh and August, and the potential fall-out as Kinleigh struggles with demons from the past, and the fear of losing her best friends in the process.

The relationship between Kinleigh and August is a friends to lover…there is NO ex’s baby so the title is a bit of a distraction. August is desperate for a relationship with our story line heroine but Kinleigh continues to be oblivious, pushing August away, yet pulling him in as she battles between head and heart. The back and forth is disconcerting to our story line hero-Kinleigh’s mixed messages begin to threaten her friendship with August as August begins to rethink their time together but Kinleigh has kept her past a secret, a past that continues to control her life. 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 flirty secondary and supporting characters including several couples from the previous story lines: Gideon and Macy, Murphy ‘Moose’ Masterson (Baby Daddy Wanted #5), Ivy and Rory (Rockstar Baby #6) . We are reintroduced to Sheriff Jared Brooks, and August and Ivy’s brother Caleb.

MY EX’S BABY is a story of family, friendships, heart break and love. The premise is emotional and inviting; the romance is spicy and sensitive; the characters are spirited and inspiring.
