Review: Birth of a Baby Daddy (The Baileys #3) by Piper Rayne





If you're having fun living your bachelor life in your Alaskan hometown and out of nowhere a woman shows up holding a baby she insists is yours, you need a plan-a birth plan.

BP Step #1 - Lift your jaw off the floor.

BP Step #2 - Figure out the baby's age-do the math.

BP Step #3 - Try to remember the woman and with any luck, her name.

BP Step #4 - Double check that she's not confusing you with your twin brother.

BP Step #5 - Ignore your five sister's scowls as your entire family watches the drama unfold.

There's only one thing you shouldn't do.

BP Step #6 - Don't assume she's there because she wants your daughter to call you Daddy. You'll only end up disappointed.

Time to figure out a new plan-one that changes her mind.

Review:

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

From what I gathered, Advice from a Jilted Bride (book 2 in the series) ended with a cliffhanger when the heroine showed up out of the blue with a baby in tow. Since the series is called "The Baileys" is safe to say that one Bailey guy is about to find out that he is a daddy. I haven't read book 2 and I was a little lost at first. Anyway, I was asked not to reveal anything about the MCs and I don't even know if the heroine's name was mentioned so I will refer to them as heroine and hero from now on. 

One thing that I have to get out of my chest, is that one of my pet peeves was found in the book. What bothered me the most about it is that we don't find it out in the begging, but after 1/3 of the book has passed. The delay is what got on my nerves the most. I was wondering why the heroine didn't contact the baby daddy sooner and I got my explanation. I stopped reading the book for a while after that and I picked it up again 12 hours before the book's release day. I am happy that I continued reading since I ended up enjoying the book once the pest was out of our lives. The hero and the heroine were really trying to work things out for the Calista (the baby) and the romance felt realistic. The fact that they didn't immediately fell onto a bed, helped a lot with that development. 

Another thing that I cannot get over, but didn't affect my rating was the words the baby could say. I swear half of the words she said we swear words. I have moments when I can make a sailor blush, but shouldn't a baby not know these words? None of the adults tried not to cuss in front of the child. I don't know if that element was added for a comedic purpose, but it creeped me out. 


Overall, my impression of the book was a positive one. I liked the Baileys, the hero, and the heroine. The story was good and I liked how the parents navigated through the many obstacles they faced. The romance was good and I look forward to the fourth book. 






















Piper Rayne, or Piper and Rayne, whichever you prefer because we’re not one author, we’re two. Yep, you get two USA Today Bestselling authors for the price of one. Our goal is to bring you romance stories that have "Heartwarming Humor With a Side of Sizzle" (okay...you caught us, that's our tagline). A little about us... We both have kindle’s full of one-clickable books. We're both married to husbands who drive us to drink. We're both chauffeurs to our kids. Most of all, we love hot heroes and quirky heroines that make us laugh, and we hope you do, too.
