I love reading safe sports books, and Fiona Davenport delivers 🥰.
Roan (32) got custody of his cousin’s two daughters, a 9-month old and 3.5-year old. His cousin was silently battling breast cancer and didn’t tell anyone ☹️. Roan steps up and takes custody. He understands he’s busy as the New York Nighthawks kicker when he’s in season, but he’ll get help from his two younger twin sisters. All’s going well until he finds out that his daughters’ aunt also wants to share custody of the girls.
Ava’s (20) brother is a scum bag/addict/abuser who shouldn’t have custody of his daughters, but she’s willing to help with them since the girls’ mother was her best friend and the girls are her nieces. She asks to see them and maybe negotiate custody terms so that she’s be the girls’ lives.
She visits the girls and once Roan sees how great she is with them AND that she’s NOT a gold digger trying to make a coin by being in his life, he becomes enthralled 😅 and he wants her.
What I liked/loved: —how obsessed he becomes with Ava, and because he’s NOT a manwhore, I liked this a lot❤️. He sees the relationship she has with the girls and decides that she’s IT for him, which is pretty 🥹. He knows that whoever comes into his life NEEDS to accept his girls, and it’s PERFECT that Ava already loves them 🥰
—how protective he is 🥰, which is expected since he’s a father of two little girls, but he’s also protective of Ava ❤️
—the subtle way he bulldozes 😈. I mean, if I don’t have to work, why would I 😅
—the couple of 🔥 scenes. Their first one’s a SURPRISE v scene so 👀, I enjoyed it 😉. Plus, he enjoys drinking his breakfast 🔥
—the epilogue are super cute ❤️ because it showcases the breeding kink 😅
What I wanted more of/questioned: possible spoilers —he calls her baby, kind of out of nowhere, without a buildup to it. At that point, we know he’s looking at her differently, but SHE doesn’t so… wouldn’t she side eye him a little?
—he has an engagement ring just chillin in his drawer like… 🤔 where did it come from? We weren’t told he went shopping for one… I was questioning that a looooot
—the girls’ dad drama was resolved too quickly and not exactly realistically. I get it- this is fiction- but… Come on 🤦🏻♀️
—I know that this is Insta/short etc, but I needed more buildup. I didn’t necessarily take points away from that, but I still wanted more: maybe some close encounters where some fast-breathing got involved, or some more innocent touches that made some tummies flutter? Something 🤷🏻♀️
Overall, I enjoyed this but just wanted more
⚠️ safety squad ⚠️ -no cheating/sharing/owd/omd -the H is jp. A man flirts with the h but he shuts it down real quick -breeding/c0ck warming -h is a surprise virgin/H is experienced but not a manwhore/it’s been a loooong time -no condoms/breeding -HEA/epilogues/8 months later/5 years later
This is very fast pace and sweet with some tiny drama. If you need a quick read.
Now Roan is in charge of his cousins daughters since she died so he’s super dad and making sure those girls have everything they can want. But he gets a call that the douche fathers sister wants to see his daughters and he’s already like nope thinking she’s the same but when he sees her and sees how the girls love being around there aunt he gives in doesn’t hurt her already wants her moved in lol.
We do have them becoming a fast family only drama was from Ava brother who wants the girls. My only other meh was how Roan called his daughter sweet cheeks.. honestly that made me blah.
No ow/om drama, no cheating, slight secondary chars, drama, sexy times, virgin gal no manwhore
Recommend-maybe Cover-⭐️⭐️ Heat level-🌶🌶
Slowinsta Age gap Found family No condom Violence Hea Epilogue
3.5 stars. This was cute and sweet and super short and totally sexy. The interactions with the girls were adorable. The sex was hot and passionate. The plot was super simple, but really sweet. There was Very low(LOW) angst, and drama.
It was the meh. Not great , not too boring. Punter on a football team gets two kids he's uncle to and then his brother in laws sister comes to visit the kids band they to get custody. Then he falls in love and they get married and have kida. Do I need to click the spoiler button?......🤔🤔🤔
I love Fiona Davenport's books so I don't know why it's taken me so long to start this series. But I can say that the saying "Better late than never" is definitely true.
Finding a safe sports read is like finding a unicorn in the wild. This had an alpha male who knew what he wanted and didn't hesitate to go after it.
This one ticks all the boxes! Insta love✅ virgin heroine✅ single dad✅ spicy as heck✅
Fiona D bring the feels with this gem. It’s a quick read, no pointless drama, just a swoon Worthy alpha who knows he’s found the woman he’s meant to have.
After the death of a cousin, Roan now finds himself the father of 2 young little girls. Their birth father has always been an addict who was only ever in and out of their lives. When his lawyer contacts him that their aunt, his dead cousins sister-in-law, wants joint custody Roan is immediately on the defense and wonders what her motives are. Ava loves those little girls. She saved her money for months to afford a lawyer so that she could see them. One look, that's all it took for Roan to know that Ava was his! He is so sweet how he treats those little girls! But don't worry, he's OTT and alpha in all the right ways!! Can't wait for the next one!!!
"Ava…baby, the only thing it would have changed is that I would have been a fuck of a lot more careful. It wouldn’t have stopped me from making you mine. I hate that I caused you so much pain.”
I was surprised at how instant love this was. Like by two chapters in, we're suddenly babies, holding hands and all cute. But I closed one eye and did not judge it too much; it's a short quick read.
The adorableness of the characters was cringe but SO DAMN CUTE. I want to squeeze them so badly. Of course, the focus was romance, so we didn't get many side characters other than the children.
I love the small add-ons of humour, and even if it was short, the piece scenes, though, were WOW. I can't wait to read the others in the series!
"It’s been so long since I’ve so much as looked at another woman. I can’t even remember anyone but you,” he growled, interlacing our fingers to tug me toward the house. “So no, you’re the only one I’ve ever thought of as mine.”
Roan & Ava are definitely on my favorites list!! I love this sweet & fun single dad story! The kids are adorable and precocious, and there might be a character named Carrie, and I might always love seeing my name in a book! 😉
There's steamy Fiona goodness and baby making to be enjoyed, as well, of course!!
3.5 Stars ⭐ Roan and Ava’s story was a great addition to the series. They met when she arrives to see her nieces. Roan has custody of his cousin's daughters after she dies and expected Ava to be like her brother, the girl's dad. He went from being grumpy that Ava wanted to help with the kids, to a full on alpha male screaming “she’s mine!”
It was extremely quick, I mean they new each other for a very short period of time. It was a cute and quick read, so if your bored with the book or series your reading you can take a break reading this.
He calls her baby before anything happen, not even clarifying that he likes her. She's also alright with him taking her to his bed to spoon, before any of them say anything about their feelings.
Regardless of that, good story. Who doesn't like sexy daddy who's devoted to the kiddos and his love
Wow I freaking loved this story 😍😍 Roan is the guardian for his cousins children. Sadly Carrie past away and now he's got the custody of Daisy and Cassidy. But one day the sister in law of Carrie wants to see the children too. Ava is finally able to afford a lawyer to fight for joined custody. But as soon as Ava and Roan meet their whole plans change😉 Roan just found the One and nothing and nobody can stop him from getting his woman and a new Mom for his children 🥰🥰🥰 Instalove, insta family, sweet, romantic, steamy and safe with an awesome HEA and no drama(teeny tiny bit bio dad drama😉)😍😍😍😍😍😍 can't wait for the next story in this series🥰🥰
Tropes: Single dad till she comes Football player x waitress? Jobs? Jealous obsessive hot and overprotective dad hero Cute curvy innocent sexy aunt heroine Age gap im guessing (32H and she’s like early 20’s) HEA and kids Insta love Little cave man minor breeding kink
So he takes care of 2 girls, Cassidy who is 3 and Daisy who is 9 months and they were given to him as their guardian by his cousin Carrie and he loves and treats them like his own children. She comes over for visitation as the lawyer said and instantly he falls for her like the breath is sucked out of him due to how beautiful she is. They go to the zoo together where a guy tried to ask her out and he went all commando on him. They tucked the girls in together and it was like found family you know. She had an interview at a club and he was so jealous that when his friend called him to confirm the address he said that she’s not allowed to work like SO FUCKING JEALOUS. Anyways after that he claims her finally and then in the next few days her deadbeat brother shows up who is the real father of the girls and tries to take them away but Roan doesn’t let that happen and calls his mates to take him away. They have 2 boys, Lucas and Foster, and another girl who they’re going to name Carrie?
Love this quote when she was in labour:
“Don’t talk to me. Talk to the overachieving football players you put inside me!” she snapped.
This is book number 5 of The New York Nighthawks series and focuses on Roan and Ava. When Roan’s cousin asked him to be the guardian of her kids if anything were to happen to her, he definitely didn’t think that a few months later he would have custody of them. When she dies a few months later, he is there right away to take care of his girls. He dives into parenthood headfirst and without reservations. Ava had been heartbroken when her ex-sister-in-law and best friend died and her nieces were moved away. When she was finally able to save up to get a great lawyer, she went to work to try and get joint custody with Roan. Roan is annoyed by this fact until he sets eyes on Ava and knows that she is the one for him and that he is keeping her. I absolutely loved Roan and Ava together! They were exactly what the other needed and were able to create such a wonderful family dynamic together. This was an excellent story and an excellent addition to the series!
I received a free copy of this book via the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
HEA Standalone, interconnected characters New York Nighthawks book 5 Sports Romance, Single Dad
*over 18 readers only*
Trigger warning Cancer death Drugs/Alcoholism
Roan (32, mmc, cousin/godfather to kids) Cassidy (3½ yr girl) Daisy (9 months old) Carrie (dead mom of kids, cousin to mmc) Iris (sister of mmc, twin) Rose (sister of mmc, twin) Ava (20, mfc, aunt of kids)
Roan Ellis wasn't expecting to take on 2 small children. As their godfather, when his cousin passed and left them with him, he couldn't turn them away. Then the lawyer called warning him about a custody battle headed his way with the kids' aunt. The girls already call him daddy. He's not happy about her filing for joint custody, and his lawyer thinks it's a play for exporting money from him. Her family doesn't have a good reputation, so it should be an easy case. Then Ava comes to visit the girls. They are both struck by their instant attraction, but neither know how to act on it. Will this work out into a ready-made family or an ugly custody battle?
Este es mi libro favorito hasta el momento de la serie. Roan obtuvo la custodia de las dos hijas de su prima, una de 9 meses y otra de 3 años. Su prima estaba luchando silenciosamente contra el cáncer de mama y no se lo contó a nadie, asi que él da un paso al frente y toma la custodia. A pesar de que está ocupado como pateador de los New York Nighthawks cuando está en temporada, recibe ayuda de sus dos hermanas gemelas menores. Todo va bien hasta que descubre que la tía de sus hijas también quiere compartir la custodia de las niñas. El hermano de Ava es un escoria, un adicto y abusador que no debería tener la custodia de sus hijas, pero ella está dispuesta a ayudar con ellas ya que la madre de las niñas era su mejor amiga y las niñas son sus sobrinas. Ella pide verlas y tal vez negociar los términos de la custodia para que ella este en la vida de las niñas, asi que las visita y una vez que Roan ve lo genial que es con ellas y que no es una cazafortunas que intenta ganar una moneda estando en su vida, queda cautivado.
After his cousin passes Roan is left the care of her daughters since his family have a bad reputation and he ex was not someone you wanted to leave looking after a bowl of fruit let alone a child he became their guardian, when his adoption starts to go through he is agitated to discover his cousins ex has a sister and she wants joint custody of his girls. Aware this is probably a scam for money, even his lawyer is suspicious. He allows a visit but just to see how things are going to play out. When he opens the door to Ava, he knows he is wrong and that all their lives just changed. The Nighthawks have something in the water with love at first sight, and this is just another amazing book to add their series. It's Hot with an Alpha who knows just what he wants and the perfect girl for not only him but his girls too... Another brilliant peice of work by the dynamic duo we know as Fiona Davenport. Thanks for another awesome read ladies xx
If you want an insta-love romance that is a quick read, Looking to Score is just the book for you.
Football kicker Roan Ellis was surprised to be name the guardian of his cousin’s daughters after she had passed from cancer but he understood that the father was a deadbeat and he was the best choice available. Roan opened his heart to his now daughters but he was surprised when Ava Cromwell, the aunt asked for joint custody. Maybe they could have joint custody forever?
There is instant attraction between Roan and Ava that make it a fun quick read because Roan just wants Ava to be in his, Cassidy and Daisy’s lives forever with a little help from the team.
Roan & Ava’s story is fun, flirty and full of sweet little girls. Roan becomes guardian of his cousins daughter after she passes away. He is getting into the groove of this whole parenting thing when he gets a call from his attorney. It turns out the girls Aunt Ava also wants custody of them.
What he didn’t expect was to get knocked on his a$$ when she comes to the door. She is everything he’s wanted but didn’t know he needed. Watching her with the girls cemented the idea in his mind. Ava is gonna be his.
There was definitely plenty of Fiona heat and chemistry to love and spice up your kindle as well. Can’t wait to see who is next to get their HEA.
This is such a cutesy romance. This is about Ava and roan who met each other through little babies Cassidy and daisy. The daughters were left to roan because of his cousin dying and Ava wanted to file custody or joint parenting with roan for Cassidy and daisy but what happen was Ava and roan eventually fell in love with each other. Overall I enjoyed this book, it was a quick/short read romance book. Highly recommend it! This is also part of the New York nighthawks series this is the book 5. If you are into single dad trope, sports romance then give this a read! Overall rate it 4.5/5⭐️ spicy/smut:4/5🌶️🫣It’s free in kindle unlimited give it a read🫶💘
I don’t normally read short stories but I needed a pallet cleanser. This was a super super quick read, with extreme instalove but it was sweet. Roan and Ava were good together but obviously because of how short these quick reads are we don’t get a lot of plot or character development to help the MMCs relationship. So for what it is, I liked it.
POV: Dual, 1st person. SERIES or STANDALONE: 5th in series, can be read as a standalone. TROPES: M/F adult, age gap (h is 20, H is 32), sports (NFL), single dad romance. SIZE: 78 (last page) Kindle pages.
The 5th in the series, Looking To Score follows Nighthawk player and single father Roan as he navigates guardianship of his late cousin's children. When Ava, his cousin's best friend (and aunt to the children) arrives on the scene he's initially suspicious. Until he meets her face to face and falls hard and fast.
Though there is less football in this book, it's my favourite. I LOVED Cassidy, and the relationships between Ava, Roan and the children is SO pure. I also enjoyed the little Prentice cameos.
