About this listen
My father's best friend is everything I’m not supposed to want. But now he is going to be my baby's daddy....
Ash is a walking red flag. He is domineering and always in a bad mood. Tragically widowed, yet still in love with his long-dead wife, a single dad to three mini versions of himself, and much too old for me.
But I’ve wanted him since I was 16. Seeing him again more than a decade later, all those old feelings just rush back in. Every time when I look up into his deep green eyes, dark scruffy beard, and kissable dimples, all I want is to fall into his arms and never leave.
Too much wine and one bed-rocking night later, everything changed.
When my dad discovers I’m knocked up by his best friend, I may lose the two most important people in my life....
Baby for Daddy's Best Friend is an age gap surprise pregnancy billionaire romance. It will keep you hooked until the very end. No cheating, no cliffhangers, HEA guaranteed! It is a complete standalone and the first book in The Hawthorns series.

Story
He was my one and only . . . until he chose his rockstar lifestyle over me. When his tour brought him back to town and became my next-door neighbor, my baby bump is on full display. Just my luck. So, I did what any girl would. I lied and told him it wasn't his. He'd never choose us over the Rockstar lifestyle. But every time I see his piercing blue eyes and tattooed, muscular body, my heart begs me to reach out. I can't risk the chance of rejection again for me, or our child . . .

Story
Grant Neville is my father’s best friend. The person he trusts the most in the world. Forbidden territory personified. I know it is wrong on so many levels, but I can’t seem to get enough of his presence.... His ocean-blue eyes have a way of finding me in every room, his dimples make my knees go weak, and my hands itch to be buried in his dark hair. But I know better by now. My history with older men has left me with plenty of scars, and Grant is not just any older man.

Story
Mia Lorenzo wasn’t exactly my top choice for a wife. She is 14 years younger, a hopeless romantic, and in line to become the head of the family that just orchestrated my father’s murder. Too bad my father's dying wish was for me to marry Luca Lorenzo's daughter. I will unite the two families for my father’s sake, even if it’s just to find proof that they killed him. The only problem is my brand-new wife. That auburn hair, those bright blue eyes, and the way my gut twists whenever I see another man go near her.

Story
When Jess Montell meets Trace West at a hockey game, she doesn’t know his name or occupation. What she does know is there’s an instant attraction that’s impossible to ignore—or forget. And forgetting is exactly what she wants to do when she learns he’s not just a successful Wall Street suit but the heir to one of New York’s biggest Mafia families. The last thing Trace needs is a romantic anything with law enforcement, and parole officer Jess has trouble written all over her. Too bad he likes trouble.

Story
He’s rude, mean, and looks at me like he hates me. And I’ve only just stepped into his house. Spending a year of travelling through impoverished places, trying to help people, should make handling Sargent Wolf - yes, that’s his name - a piece of cake. But even Maddox can’t deny that his father is an absolute douche. I’m only here for six months, maximum, before I get my arse back on the road. I’ll just have to stay out of his way and never suggest that he let me draw him naked. No matter how badly I want to.

I thought I was late for my cousin’s wedding, but the wedding turned out to be for me... If I’d known the sexy arrogant guy in the elevator was my future husband, I probably would have turned and ran. My own father sold me out, promising my hand in marriage to Alexei Koslov, a sexy, arrogant bratva boss. The last thing I want to do is get married, but nobody says no to the Koslov bratva.

Story
Housekeeper for a stunningly handsome, male-model billionaire? Yep, that’s my job and it’s as dreamy as it sounds. I get to live in his ridiculously huge mansion, and all I have to do is take care of his mom and daughter, who are practically family. To top it off, the notoriously bossy Mr. King has been away for business since I started. But he came home today. Liam King looks like he stepped out of a GQ magazine, and the way he undresses me with his eyes should be illegal. He ignites my body. Every part of it. But It doesn’t matter how tempting he is. I can’t have him.

The moment I saw her, I wanted her. I just didn't expect to want to keep her. But then she walked away. She should've known better. I'm not the kind of man you turn your back on. I'm ruthless, powerful and unforgiving. Something she'll soon find out. I will own her. Body and soul. Consume her while she begs for it. What started as one night will become forever. And I'll destroy anyone that gets in my way. Drew Matthews is mine.

Story
The first time I saw him, I knew I'd never want another man the way I wanted him. The second time, I drank a bottle of his most expensive cognac, which I'd never be able to afford on my own. And the third time… well, he caught me stealing from him. Stealing from the head of the Irish Mafia wasn't smart. But then I never claimed to be. Now I owed him a debt… a big one. And it couldn't be settled with money, or favors.

Ash and Rye were wonderful and complex together. They didn't have the easiest beginning to a relationship with the whole age gap, dad's best friend thing going on. And Ash does his best to put up walls, both for thinking his best friend's daughter is attractive and missing deceased wife. Rye does her best to curb her attraction to Ash and gets thrown through some hoops with the hot/cold behavior of Ash. When the two are together with the walls down, they are absolutely wonderful! They have great chemistry and amazing steamy scenes!
The story is so much more than the title and the characters were wonderful. It's a wonderful series starter and I look forward to getting to know the rest of the Hawthorn clan!
The book contains topics of loss of a spouse (with some discussion on page), loss of a parent, age gap romance, swearing, and steamy scenes.
I enjoyed the narrators! I haven't heard them narrate before and they did a good job. Each helped bring the characters to life! It is narrated in dual POV with the male narrator narrating all the voices and vice versa for the female narrator.

I listened to this audiobook narrated by Melissa Connell & Scott R. Smith. Melissa's voice was good for Rye and suited her character. I loved Scott R. Smith's voice. There was something about his tone that was very pleasant to me. It actually wasn't until I looked for more books he narrated that I realized he narrated an audiobook that I loved last year enough that I purchased both it and it's sequel (and still have to listen to).
