Incredible love story from our favorite small town family!
5 out of 5 stars
Incredible love story from our favorite small town family!
Funny story about this book. So, I'm laying in bed reading all the brilliance that Piper Rayne is throwing at me. My hubby comes to bed and asks his usual "how's your book" who's it by (like he knows any authors names lol) and all that fun stuff. Well this time he asks me "what's the title?". So, I tell him of course,not thinking twice. His reaction, y'all. Insert the crying laughing face here because seriously. You would have thought I told him I'm reading "How to plot you husband's slow and painful demise". Long story short, he now refers to himself as my baby daddy. And he thinks it's hilarious. Story Line: You know that episode of Friends were Joey finds out that condoms are only 93% effective? Well that fun little statistic is what lands us in Starlight once again for Bailey's book 3. Side note, no you do not need to read books 1 and 2 to understand what's going on. Basically our heroine Harley has a smoking hot night with one of the Bailey clan. 9 months later, beautiful Calista is born. Harley thinks she knows who the father is (no, not for skanky reasons) so she travels to this beautiful small town to find him. Except her perfectly laid out plans don't exactly pan out. This is a story about believing in yourself, believing in those you love and having faith that everything will be alright. Or in the case of these two, just saddle up and enjoy the ride. I loved everything about this couple. From page 1 to the very end, I was completely captivated by their story. It might be easy to judge a book by it's title (cough cough Mr Laundry) but this book was pure romance magic to read. I cannot wait to add the paperback to my shelf. Trust me y'all, it's THAT good. Interaction: It's going to be so hard to write this section without using both names! Ah! I'm going to try and at least que y'all in to the sparkly chemistry known as Bailey's #3. Harley is incredible. She's a strong, independent woman and no she did not seek out her "baby daddy" for money reasons. So take those judgey eyes and knock it off. But the other half of this story is about who the dad is. Don't worry your pretty little heads, you don't have to wait more than a chapter or two to find out who dad is, but because I refuse to give away spoilers, you're just going to have to figure out who that is all on your own. I will say he's totally on my book boyfriend top 10 list now. I mean, the laundry is good. But he's more than just a toe curler. He's sweet and caring and lays all his cards out in the best possibly way. Swoon. Laundry: If you have never read a Piper Rayne book before, here's a little hint when it comes to laundry. A lot of times, it's a slow burn. DO NOT JUDGE. I forbid you. Because even if you have to wait for the naughty stuff, IT IS TOTALLY WORTH IT. This hero, y'all. He's everything you would ever hope for. He's dirty, he's possessive, and he's so dang sweet you will add him to your top 10 book boyfriend lists too. Depth: With the story line of "birth of a baby daddy" and the fact that I'm being super evasive with who he is, there's bound to be some good meat to this story. The Bailey family is amazing, nosey, a bit over the top and the foundation for pretty much any story I would ever want to read based in a small town. They aren't perfect, yet their love for one another truly is. I need a G'ma D in my life like right now. She can come take my toddler off my hands and show him off to her friends any time she wants. I have a feeling she, along with the rest of the family will leave a lasting impression on my heart for many, many years to come.

    I am going to start this by saying, "I swooned so hard over Rome being a dad." I mean, that man took to his baby girl like a pro!!
    I love a secret baby trope, I know it is not loved by some. But this one was written so well, and the characters have a great story.

    Rome and Harley have a one night stand, and after not getting any information from the other, they dont keep in touch.
    But when Harley needs Rome's help, she finds him by chance. And she has the cutest little girl with her when she does track him down.

    This story is so good. I love the way these two learn to trust and not run while trying to navigate being parents.

    I love the Bailey family! And I can't wait for more of them.

    Rome and Bailey's story was such a beautiful one to read.

    Oh. My. Goodness. Is there anything cuter, more heartwarming, swoonier than Rome as a girl Dad?! I loved that he did not hesitate to be a Dad to Calista. His character really went through some wonderful change, from the laid back bachelor earlier in the series to a doting father and partner.
    Bailey has a quiet strength. It took alot of bravery to take a chance on Rome and the Baileys, to stay in Lake Starlight with the intention of co-parenting.

    Rome and Bailey both have alot of vulnerabilities from their pasts. I loved seeing them support each other through healing and changing. They also had a lot of obstacles to overcome as their relationship evolved, it was beautiful to see them become a family.

    Secret baby is not top on my trope list but I loved that their story was an "I couldn't find you" rather than an "I'm hiding from you". It was heartwarming to see Rome and Bailey go from strangers to co-parents to lovers.
    This series continues to have beautiful stories as the siblings find their happily ever afters.

    Congratulations, it's a girl! And she's yours....or maybe...yours? What do you do when you realize the man you thought was the baby daddy is an identical twin? Harley is about to find out. Over two years ago Harley hooked up with Denver after she met him in an airport bar, or so she thought. A couple of months later Harley found out she was going to be a mother. Fast forward two years and Harley has come to Lake Starlight to find the father of her child. Harley's daughter, Calista, was recently diagnosed with a blood disorder and she wants to know about any other health issues on the father's side. It seemed like fate when Harley saw Denver on the television after his plan crashed with a famous Hollywood type on board. Harley has tracked Denver to a restaurant on Lake Starlight's town square. When she enters the restaurant with Calista she gets the shock of her life. Denver is there, but so is another man who looks exactly like Denver. When Harley identified Denver as the father he insist he can't possibly be the father. So that leaves only one option...Rome.

    Hearing the timing of the pregnancy Rome realizes he is the father. He was on his way to Europe to study with great chefs and he gave Harley his brother's name. It was just supposed to be a one night stand so at the time he didn't think there was any harm. But he realizes not giving his real name or leaving his last name has cost him almost two years with his daughter. Rome wants to know his daughter. He asks Harley to stay in Lake Starlight so that he can get to know his daughter and she agrees. Harley was raised in the foster care system so she knows what it is like to grow up without parents. She doesn't want that for her daughter so she agrees to stay.

    Rome commits to his daughter. And to developing a relationship with Harley, as his daughter's mother. Of course, as their relationship develops the attraction they felt that night several years ago starts to resurface. Rome and Harley can't deny their attraction. And the feelings that start to develop. Eventually Rome and Harley decide to give things a try and move in together. But things don't end there for this couple. But you will have to read to find out that little secret. Rome and Harley do get their HEA it just takes a little while to get there.

    I really enjoyed this book. This series continues to delight. Not only do you get the current couple's story, but also updates on past couples. Hot, sexy, steamy moments; sweet, romantic moments; funny moments fill this book. So basically it has everything you could want in a contemporary romance. Especially the little twist at the end and the HEA. I appreciate that the author didn't drag out the trauma of the hero/heroines past or let it overwhelm their current story. But instead used it to help Haley realize the importance of giving her daughter a family. I also appreciated that Rome didn't hesitate at committing to his daughter and there wasn't any real ex-drama. I can't wait to see what happens with the next Bailey sibling.

    Initial Reaction:
    Absolutely looooved this one!!! The couple was fabulous! I loved Harley and I loved getting to know the Baileys even better...especially our mystery baby daddy! 😉

    This Book In 5 Words:
    Surprising. Flirty. Delicious. Tender. Daddylicious.

    What Did I Like:
    - The characters! One of my favourite things about Piper and Rayne's books will always be their characters! They put you completely in their characters' heads and really bring them to life! Harley and our baby daddy were fabulous!!! They were flawed and had some issues to overcome, but seeing them rise to the task was wonderful! And seeing them together...well that was even better! :D
    - All the daddy moments! Romance has taught me several things about myself, and one of those things is that I am an absolute sucker for moments in books where we get to see our heroes being good dads...and this one did it very, very well! Seeing our mystery baby daddy grow into his role within his new family was soooo wonderful, and he was such a good dad! I can't wait to see more of those dad moments in later books!
    - The entire Bailey family! I seriously love this family so much, and with each book I'm getting more and more attached! I can't wait for each and every one of their stories, and I also can't wait to see Grandma Dory continue to meddle in all of their lives. :P

    What Didn't I Like:
    - I wanted more scenes with our mystery daddy interacting with his siblings. We did get some scenes, but that was the one part of the story that I wanted more of...so really, I just wanted more of this story, which frankly isn't really a bad thing. :P

    Star Rating:
    ★★★★★

    Read If You Like:
    Stories of redemption, finding love in unexpected places, second chances, and stories where both the hero and heroine have flaws, but they grow together and overcome the things that are holding them back!

    To Read Next:
    - Meet Cute by Helena Hunting (If you like the whole single guy suddenly becomes thrust into a father/father-like position, then you will LOVE Dax...I know, I sure did! ;D)
    - Single Dads Club Series by Piper Rayne (Once again...I'll have to recommend this one! I totally blame it for my love of the single dad trope now! :P)

    Overall, I thought that BIRTH OF A BABY DADDY was wonderful! I loved this story! I loved the characters, and I'm absolutely loving this entire series! Wholeheartedly looking forward to the next one! :D

    Who's the baby daddy? Denver? Rome? Or someone else? ;)
    You have to read the book to find out!
    And be sure, if you are Bailey addicted you want to know it and it's totally worth it.

    It is a slow burning love after the H found out, that he's a dad now. A slow burning love with the babies mommy but he felt in love with his babygirl really fast. ;)
    But as soon it's burning between the sheets something unexpected happened and it seems that they fall apart. 😱

    I highly recommend this book.

    And now I have to wait too long for my next Bailey fix ... can't wait for Savannah's story!

    Well. I'm usually not a big fan of secret baby tropes being a mother myself but this was handled so nicely with two people coming together and dealing with it and growing from it. I love this series and all the supporting characters we're getting to know through the books.
    The main characters in this book feel authentic and are relatable in their reactions to the events that occur and the story is believable and realistic. Plus romantic! What more can you ask for!

    Birth of a Baby Daddy is book 3 in The Bailey’s series, I highly recommend that you read books 1 & 2 as they are all connected. Clear your schedule because once you start you wont be able to stop.

    Picking up right where Advice from a Jilted Bride finishes Denver and Rome are left wondering what the hell is happening. Trying to place Harley’s face all they can focus on is the cute toddler on her hip. I don’t want to give away who the father is but I can tell you that they step up take control and exceed expectations. After convincing Harley to stay in Lake Starlight he not only wants a relationship with his daughter but he wants it all; Harley, more kids and his own happily ever after.

    Piper Rayne is my favourite writing duo, they have made me fall in love with the Bailey’s and I cannot wait to read the next instalment; Operation Bailey Wedding.
