A quick rundown of this product’s key features:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a new forced proximity, single dad romantic comedy. This steamy, laugh out loud, enemies-to-lovers, small town standalone romance delivers the perfect happily ever after.

What does one do when they completely blow an interview?
If you’re me, you pick up a one-night stand with the most gorgeous man you’ve ever seen..

That’s right, after a lousy interview that could have changed everything for me, I headed over to the local small town bar to sulk when the one man I shouldn’t want walked in. And when my friend convinced me to take him back to my hotel room, I didn’t think about it, I just did it . . . well, I did him.

It was an unforgettable night, but I didn’t stay for breakfast. Instead, I got out of there and tried not to think about him again.

Everything was fine until I received a call from the interviewer saying I got the job as the assistant baseball coach at Almond Bay High. I’d be working directly under the one and only Ryland Rowley–my one-night stand.

Now, I’m not only working with him but renting the apartment above his garage. And I have to deal with the fact that he’s the man I dream about and can’t have while not letting my attraction get in the way of keeping the harmony between us. Sounds easy, doesn’t it?

It should have been, except the plan falls apart when my shower breaks, and night after night I have to slip into his house to use the bathroom only to find him in the kitchen, staring me down with those hungry, single dad eyes.

Title: Perfect. Ryland’s story is one of my favorites
Review: This story is perfect. I’ve wanted Ryland’s story since book 1 & could not have anticipated the full gamut of emotions Meghan Quinn gave me.Did i cry? Yes.Was it super spicy since the beginning? Also yes.Do we get to see all our favorite almond bay couples? Of course.The banter between our MCs is top tier as one expects from a Meghan Quinn book but it’s Ryland’s dialogue (literally everything that he says & thinks) that had me laughing out loud.🎧 Listening to the audiobook in duet narration by Sebastian York & Samantha Brentmoor brought Ryland & Gabby to life. Absolute perfection.This story is about Ryland Rowley, small town high school baseball coach & single guardian to his young niece. He has one steamy night with Gabby, a woman he thought was passing through. Gabby, in town for a job interview that didn’t go well, never thought she’d see Ryland again either. Turns out, she got the job – as Ryland’s assistant coach. And that apartment she found – Ryland is her landlord. Forced together, they try to maintain boundaries but saying they’ll keep things professional & doing it are much harder than either of them thought…This is spicy (like immediately – no slow burn here), heartwarming, hilarious – Gabby & Ryland go head-to-head trying to fight off their feelings for each other. It’s a battle they don’t win & despite Ryland trying, he can’t seem to stay away. Both of them have baggage but their romance breaks down their walls & seeing them support each other really tugged at my heartstrings. Also must give a huge shoutout for the bond with Ryland’s niece Mac. Ryland’s relationship with her is so beautiful (hello “Uncle Dad”) & the way Gabby takes to Mac as if she was her own… just get your tissues ready.This might just top my favorites of Meghan Quinn’s. Both of these characters have rich backgrounds, wonderful supporting family characters & it’s just such an entertaining read. I didn’t want it to end. And wait until that epilogue – just be ready to go through it with this one 💖🏡 Small Town➶ Single Dad⚾️ Coach x Assistant Coach💋 One Night Stand🚿 Forced Proximity❤️‍🔥 Hate to Love❣️ Amazing Banter✌🏻 Dual POV

Title: The perfect ending 😍
Review: I’ve been waiting forever for Ryland’s story, and Meghan Quinn did NOT disappoint! Watching Ryland and Gabby navigate their struggles while showing such strength and perseverance was both heartbreaking and inspiring. The way they not only survived but lifted their siblings up and thrived? Absolutely beautiful.That scene where Bennett calls Gabby with the big news, and she just breaks down? UGH, it was so raw and real—I was crying right there with her. And seeing Ryland learn to open up, embrace love, and realize he deserves a life outside of his responsibilities? Perfection. These two are so hard on themselves, yet they’re always the first to lift each other up.And let’s not forget… THE SPICE. 🔥🔥 So. Many. Spicy. Scenes. 🥵 Meghan Quinn brought the heat, and I am obsessed!

Title: A one night stand that turns into a strained work relationship and then much more.
Review: Who was waiting anxiously for single dad Ryland Rowley to get his HEA?🙋🏻‍♀️ Yep. This girl. ❤️This is book 3 in the Almond Bay Series, a complete stand alone, but I recommend the other books as you’ll get more background on the Rowley family and their journeys to find love.There are not enough words to describe how much I loved this book, with big brother of the Rowley family and single dad, Ryland, finally finding his HEA. He meets Gabby Brinkman as a one night stand and it’s definitely NOT a smooth beginning. A one night stand that turns into a strained work relationship, lots of laughs, awkwardness and then. . . much more. Gabby becomes everything he’s always needed even when he didn’t know exactly what that was.This story. . . there will be tears. Not sad tears. Sweet, emotional, melt your heart tears. And the epilogue? Well grab an entire box of tissues. Oh and WOW is this a steamy book! WHEW 🔥🔥🔥I loved every text chain between Ryland and his sisters Hattie and Aubree – Hattie and Aubrey’s stories are in the first 2 books in this series. Don’t miss them. These conversations are funny, sweet, just everything.Little Mackenzie, “Mac”, will steal your heart more than once and Ryland struggling to be the best father he can be to his niece, well, it’s so heartwarming and leads to some laugh out loud moments too.Then there’s Gabby’s best friend, Bower, who is a welcome addition to the Almond Bay crowd.And Gabby. A determined young woman, a fighter her entire life, never had it easy, and a fierce supporter of her younger brother’s baseball career. She struggles to overcome her past demons as she finds she relates to Ryland’s ghosts and insecurities. They couldn’t be more perfect for each other.Samantha Brentmoor and Sebastian York give an outstanding duet narrative performance. I highly recommend the audiobook.Five huge stars. Loved every word.

Title: Perfection..
Review: WOW. This book surprised me in so many ways – it was utterly phenomenal. Ryland and Gabby have so much character development, from a fun start to a rough “re”meeting, and then to falling in love, while raising Mac.. I’m not sure how many tears I shed but each one was worth it. The spice in this book was SPICING! 🥵 Ryland’s mouth is something that deserves an award, but Gabby’s does too. These two are like sparks that never stop going off. Bennett is the perfect little addition to the story and I love seeing him in this life. NOW – that epilogue… grab an entire box of tissues because DANG are you going to need it 🤍

Review: I’ve been loving this series by Meghan and I was so excited to get Ryland’s story and catch up with his family.Ryland is a brother, baseball coach and had to step into the father role for his niece, Mac, after his sister passed away. Due to his responsibilities, he has to feel in control of all situations and when his job decides to hire an assistant coach without him, well let’s just say he isn’t too pleased.Gabby is trying to find employment and has a promising opportunity in Almond Bay but let’s just say that the interview doesn’t go the way she hoped. When she finds Ryland in a bar, she decides to throw caution to the wind and have one single night with him. Little does she know, she would be contacted after and given the job.Gabby can relate to Ryland’s parental role with Mac because she had a similar situation with her brother, Bennett. She trained and supported his passion in pursuing a baseball career and there were a couple moments between them that had me tearing up. I also loved watching Gabby in her work element as she bonds and helps her team.This book had me hooked from the very beginning. Ryland and Gabby were so entertaining as they tried to settle into their co worker role while fighting the attraction between them. The scenes with them and Mac were so sweet and just showed them slowly becoming a family. Their journey is a very emotional one which made their HEA that much sweeter.This was such a great instalment to the series and with the little hints towards over couples, I can’t wait for the next books to come.
