Gabbi,
Eli needs all our love…。The usual comedic relief that you might need in a read Meghan Quinn does not disappoint。 Be aware this is an epic slow burn with a lot sexual tension to even get those who aren’t pregnant hormonal。 I loved Eli so much and wish I could give him all my love filled hugs。 Did I think it was a bit chaotic at times yes and the misunderstandings could’ve been handled better in my opinion。 All an all I love my hockey players and she sets up the themes for the rest of the boys so Eli needs all our love…。The usual comedic relief that you might need in a read Meghan Quinn does not disappoint。 Be aware this is an epic slow burn with a lot sexual tension to even get those who aren’t pregnant hormonal。 I loved Eli so much and wish I could give him all my love filled hugs。 Did I think it was a bit chaotic at times yes and the misunderstandings could’ve been handled better in my opinion。 All an all I love my hockey players and she sets up the themes for the rest of the boys so I’m curious to see those storylines play out。 。。。more

Funny, swoony and sexy with a lot of heart。 This book is well worth reading。4。5 stars! 。。。more
Rhonda,
I am not sure where to begin with my praise for this book。 There was something about Penny and Eli that was magic for me。 Penny's insecurities, rambling and lack of impulsive control were a perfect match-up for Eli's kindness, patience and desperation to be truly loved。 I lost count of the number of times I had to stop the audio because I was laughing so hard。 There are at least three scenes in this book that had me in hysterical laughter, including tears。 The narration was brilliant。 Kelsey Nav I am not sure where to begin with my praise for this book。 There was something about Penny and Eli that was magic for me。 Penny's insecurities, rambling and lack of impulsive control were a perfect match-up for Eli's kindness, patience and desperation to be truly loved。 I lost count of the number of times I had to stop the audio because I was laughing so hard。 There are at least three scenes in this book that had me in hysterical laughter, including tears。 The narration was brilliant。 Kelsey Navarro was the absolute perfect Penny and delivered both the funny and the emotion。 Another thing I liked about this book was the way it ended。 Satisfying for me and really made me want to know more about what is going on with the other characters in the book。 Looking forward to the rest of this series from Meghan Quinn。 。。。more

I’m not quite sure how many times I laughed out loud while reading this book but started early on and I can't stop thinking about apples。 I couldn’t stop giggling after I read the apple text and I still giggle thinking about it。 I’m not huge on accidental pregnancy books but I knew if Meghan was writing one she would make it worth it, and she did beyond my expectations。 So what happens when a one-night stand with your brother's teammate and best friend turns out to be much much more?Eli is a complicated character, he is charismatic, charming, a flirt and so very handsome but underneath all that he is a broken boy。 Eli has abandonment issues and is too afraid to pursue any type of relationship for fear of being rejected and not loved。 “I’m not your mom, Eli。 I can’t…well, I shouldn’t give you hugs。 You’re a boy and don’t need them。”Penny has some self-esteem problems and wasn’t treated very well by her ex, so when Eli the most attractive man on her brother's hockey team (The Agitators) flirts, hits on, and ultimately convinces her to take one night to the next level she doesn’t understand his attraction, and little does she know his attraction has been there since Pacey (Penny’s brother) first introduced them。 Pacey has made it very clear that all hands are off his sister so when one night turns into a pregnancy Penny starts to freak out, not only that she’s pregnant but she has to confront Eli and her brother。 From the confrontation to all the chapters after I couldn’t put this book down, not only did I laugh but there are some really touching moments as well。 And of course, whenever you read Meghan you get all kinds of pend up sexual tension and steam。 I loved this book and can’t wait to read the rest of the player's stories!This book is a standalone in a series, but do yourself a favor and read the first book Kiss and Don’t Tell, you really get to know the players in it。 。。。more

Too bad about the condom failing 🤷🏻♀️。 Once he survives the initial blow out with Penny’s brother, Eli and Penny decide to platonically move in together, to get to really know each other and so he can support her during the pregnancy。 So they can co-parent better down the road。 That’s all this is。 Right?Those Three Little Words is my super sweet and angsty and laugh-out-loud funny fave of the year! I have literally laughed more with this book than I have with any other! First, let me say up front that Eli had to grow on me。 He’s an easy going, flashy dressing playboy commitment-phobe that you can tell always used his looks and cutesy demeanor to get want he wanted。 Not really my kind of hero。 But then…。 Reasons。 Reasons why he was the way he was, but mostly the fact that he recognizes it and wants to change。 The fact that he does such a good job caring for Penny and that he’s trying, but that his fumbles around out of ignorance。 He has the best chemistry with Penny and is so obsessed with her, way before he even recognizes what it is。 Penny was out of this world awesome。 Super funny with a wicked prankster streak, she rambles when she’s nervous and goes through her pregnancy neurotically on the edge, lol。 This is really a sweet book that delves into deep seeded abandonment issues and how they have secondary effects。 It is absolutely wonderful and I’d highly recommend it to anyone! 。。。more

Surprise pregnancy trope is my least favorite but I didn’t care with this one after book one, I needed Eli to get his happy as well。 Penny does social media for the front office and Eli met her on day one when her brother was showing her around, Eli knew she was a no go but it didn’t stop him on his birthday/Valentine's day when she walked in the bar。 Penny gets pregnant and all hell breaks loose thanks to her brother。 Eli moves in and they try to get friends。 These parts will have you laughing, Surprise pregnancy trope is my least favorite but I didn’t care with this one after book one, I needed Eli to get his happy as well。 Penny does social media for the front office and Eli met her on day one when her brother was showing her around, Eli knew she was a no go but it didn’t stop him on his birthday/Valentine's day when she walked in the bar。 Penny gets pregnant and all hell breaks loose thanks to her brother。 Eli moves in and they try to get friends。 These parts will have you laughing, crying, happy, sad as they try to figure it all out。 Eli try to figure out what love even means during this time as well。 And because it also has his teammates in it again, you will fall even more in love with them!

And of course I fell in love with Those Three Little Words and Eli was my favorite of the two。 Meghan Quinn never disappoints me! I never thought I would find myself reading sports romances。 Of course the story isn’t about sports, it's about romance。 Now I was fortunate enough to get to listen to the audio for this book。 Kelsey Navarro and Teddy Hamilton of course did a great job! I think I could listen to Teddy Hamilton all day long…。。 He has a wow factor to his voice。 His voice was perfect for Eli and Kelsey Navarro also did a great job for Penny’s voice! Teddy’s voice was more soothing just how I pictured Eli。 It probably had more to do with each of their characters and remember where I said Penny acted like a lunatic well Kelsey was fantastic! Of course they both had a great fun book to narrate。 Meghan Quinn I love your books and look forward to reading many more of your books!I do think a narrator can make or break a book。 I would give the audio for These Three Little Words 5 Stars as well as this author's work! I love it! Easily a 5 star read! 。。。more

There was sex, sex, oh and a little more sex。 Penny and Eli were insatiable when it came to one another and when they finally decided to take their relationship to the next level。 Always a fun read for the sexy times。 There were times when I kept thinking, "is that humanly possible?" and "was I like that during my pregnancy?" or "damn, how do you find time in your day to breathe?" But hey, good smut, is good smut!Characters: We'll start with Eli, he's sexy, masculine, has a great sense of humor and a swoony compassionate side。 His main weaknesses lie in the fact that he grew up in a less than stellar environment and experiences losses at a young age that have caused him to be closed off in the relationship department。 He's so good to Penny and it was upsetting to me that she couldn't tell by his actions how much he truly loved her。 This leads me to Penny and the reason I gave the book 3。75 stars instead of higher。 Penny is a hilarious, rambling, sweet girl。。。 until she isn't。 She was always understanding of Eli, until she is pregnant and towards the end became vindictive and petty。 I didn't like that she did little things to try and annoy him, when really communication is key。 I get the feeling of wanting to just annoy someone, but her behaviors were a bit much and had me disliking her for a small portion of the book。 She redeemed herself, I'm happy to say, but I just couldn't forget about some of her actions。 Story: I love the best friend's sister trope and then throw in a surprise baby and you have a recipe for gold。 I really liked the way this story was written because we were able to watch a one night stand grow into a friendship, then into a love and finally into a family。 Overall, I really enjoyed the book。 I always do with Meghan's books, I just wish Penny hadn't taken a turn for the mean crazy。 Do I recommend this book? YES! Of course I do。 Will I continue to fangirl over Meghan? DUH, watch me go。 。。。more

These two were in for a ride。 I really loved Eli。 He had a playboy reputation that followed him, but he was one of the most honest guys。 My heart ached for Eli。 The man had serious abandonment issues, but he was working through them。 [Another Side Note: I was not a fan of whoever Eli's therapist was]。 Tators was better at giving him advice。 I do love how committed Eli was to the entire situation with Penny, but at the same time I can see how this was confusing to Penny, who was already going through a lot of hormonal and emotional changes。 Penny - Penny - Penny - she did a complete 180 from that first night with Eli。 I love how real her mood swings were throughout her pregnancy。 The pranks, the cravings, the emotions, the irrational tactics were so accurate。 I loved that we got to experience it all with her。 Poor Eli just went along with it all even if the man was confused and irritated。 These two were a perfect match。 They were both extremely patient with trying to understand one another。 I really love that we got to experience their relationship growth (their fears, their emotions, their love)。 - Some of my favorite parts:**Penny breaking the news to Eli and Pacey。** **The unexpected visit from Penny's parents。****Eli's first appointment with Penny。****Penny going out for donuts at 2 a。m。****Anal Plug Convo** and so much more。I'm going to listen to Pacey and Winnie's story and then jump right into a re-listen of this one right after。 。。。more

4。5-loved it stars! Those Three Little Words by Meghan Quinn was such a fun read! It is a brother’s best friend story with an unexpected surprise and I devoured it! I love the beginning so much and Eli was the best! And Penny and Eli’s chemistry and connection was insane! Even as Eli tried to keep her at arm’s length, because of said best friend…but kind of late, right? Eli found Penny irresistible from the moment he met her, but she was off limits。 Then on the night of his birthday, everything 4。5-loved it stars!

Eli found Penny irresistible from the moment he met her, but she was off limits。 Then on the night of his birthday, everything changes and lines are crossed, with consequences。 Then their journey truly begins。 Eli is known to be the player of the team。 Penny finds him extremely attractive, but not the settling type。 But once they were living together, he was caring, protective and sweet。 Not perfect, but any means, but more than she ever imagined。 Penny in pregnancy mode was fun to read, but she was also determined, independent and adorable。 They were determined to do this but had obstacles they had to face。 Their story was a slow burn romance that was sweet, fun and such a delightful read! Happy reading! 。。。more

Romance and More!!While we know what is going to happen from the blurb, the story is in what these two crazy kids are going to do now。 Penny is knocked up by her brothers best friend and teammate, who has warned his entire hockey team。。。more than once to STAY AWAY FROM HIS SISTER。Eli Hornsby is a horn-dog and proud of the title, funny thing is, he really isn't。 From the get go, you can tell he's going to be the guy in this book that changes your mind about when it's all said and done。 I do love Romance and More!!While we know what is going to happen from the blurb, the story is in what these two crazy kids are going to do now。 Penny is knocked up by her brothers best friend and teammate, who has warned his entire hockey team。。。more than once to STAY AWAY FROM HIS SISTER。Eli Hornsby is a horn-dog and proud of the title, funny thing is, he really isn't。 From the get go, you can tell he's going to be the guy in this book that changes your mind about when it's all said and done。 I do love starting a book hating the character (hate is strong for what I felt about Hornsby, but still) and then the author completely changes my mind by the end and I am team the guy I hated before I know it。 Penny and Eli have a lot to figure out with them, the baby, the team and the friends。 This is a tight knit group and any rattle of the boat is felt by all of them。 I absolutely loved how Meghan Quinn didn't glorify Penny's pregnancy。 She let all of Penny's crazy hang out and I wish it was an exaggeration, sadly most of the time it was not。 We see Eli transform before our eyes and Penny's as well。 He may not think he is good enough/ready for this fatherhood thing, however takes any steps he can to try。 The book is well written and I really loved these characters。 Along with Penny and Eli, we have the whole hockey team family involved and it makes it that much better。 Oh and the now required hilarious Meghan Quinn text threads。。。they are the best!! Made me miss the baseball boys for a minute, but these hockey players are right up there。 Those Three Little Words is a great addition to the series!!Reviewed for Renee Entress's Blog。 。。。more

Five weeks later, the Penny lets the news out that changes everything。 And now their Eli and Penny are on the adventure of their lives。 Moving in together, trying to adjust to each other's quirks, and keep things platonic is not the easiest。 But Eli has made a promise to Pacey, and this time he intends to keep it。 Will this couple make co-parenting work? Meghan Quinn has another winner on her hands。 She pulls me in, keeps me laughing and investing my heart in her stories。 This one has some moments that had me hysterical and then in the next sentence completely frustrated! Eli and Penny's push pull is full of humor and emotion, and it drove you crazy in the best way while I waited for them to find the answers。 Another amazing listen in this series and fantastic entertainment。How can you make this story even better? Add Teddy Hamilton and Kelsey Navarro to it! These two are consummate storytellers and create their characters so realistically that I felt I knew them。 Hamilton gives Eli an amazing code of honor that while I could hear his true heart, the conflict of promise was still in his tone。 Navarro always finds the essence of her characters and Penny is independent and frustrated all while falling in love。 By all these feelings into her voice, Navarro puts Penny together。 This is a wonderful collaboration and fun audio。 。。。more

🌟🌟🌟🌟1/2A tug on your heartstrings, laugh until you snort kind of book is a perfect summary of Those Three Little Words。 Eli and Penny have amazing chemistry that can make you envious。 When they finally give into temptation, all is well, until 5 weeks later。 When Penny finds out she’s pregnant, we get to go through the entire pregnancy with her throughout the story。 And being a recently pregnant woman, I could relate on so many accounts!

But maybe not so much for all of the extra fun they had in that second trimester ;) wowza。 Eli Hornsby has a big heart。 He knows how to show it but doesn’t know how to say those three little words。 Throughout the story, you see his compassion shine through for Penny。 We see the love he has for her, even if he doesn’t realize he loves her yet。 My heart ached for Eli in certain parts, this wounded man who just wants to be loved by someone wholeheartedly but also struggles with it himself。 I just wanted to step into the book and hug him myself!And Penny。 I felt her。 The aches, the pains, the hormones, the mood swings - I think she was so accurately described in this book。 But Lordy, I couldn’t tell you how many times I snorted at their banter and wit。 The comebacks, the pranks。 I loved it all。 And most of all the tears I had while reading the epilogue。 Bravo, Meghan this book was spot on! 。。。more
Stephanie,
Oh。 My。 Goodness!!!!! If I could give this more than 5 stars I 100% would。 Man, did Meghan Quinn crush this book。 I just finished and I have all the feels! To be honest I’m already wanting to read it again。 I fell for these two SO hard and loved their journey。 Their chemistry was beyond sizzling and, like all her books, I was laughing so hard I was crying!! This is definitely a must read。 Holy cow, it’s going to be hard to pick my favorite Meghan book this year! 🍏🏒👞🪴

Meghan Quinn has once again delivered gold with a fun && quirky sports romance! They aren’t the #towelbrigade but these hockey players are slowly winning me over! I devoured this book in a day🖤What happens when you have a one night stand with your best friend/teammates sister? Well Eli Hornsby is about to find out! Eli is a simple man with a complicated background。 He’s the good time guy you can always count on, but don’t expect him to stick around for forever。 Penny has finally landed her dream Meghan Quinn has once again delivered gold with a fun && quirky sports romance!

Well Eli Hornsby is about to find out! Eli is a simple man with a complicated background。 He’s the good time guy you can always count on, but don’t expect him to stick around for forever。 Penny has finally landed her dream job && is completely fine with just focusing on work。 Then a one night stand leads to something a little more for both of them。。These two were adorable && hilarious together。 Eli makes Penny nervous, which is comical for everyone! Eli is trying to reign in his flirtatious tendencies, but his crush on Penny is making it hard。 I love how Meghan essentially made them be friends first。 We get to see the quirky, nerdy side of Penny && we get to get deeper with Eli。 *cue swoon* Their relationship was fun && wasn’t really a rollercoaster, but it was heartbreaking at times。 All in all, I loved everything about it。If you’re looking for a laugh until you cry && then actually cry type of book then grab this baby!! I cannot wait for the rest of this series!! 。。。more
Lindsey,
This is the book I needed in my life。 I don’t remember the last time I have laughed this hard in a book。 I literally scared my family with how much I was laughing。 This audio was perfect。 Teddy and Kelsey were absolutely perfection in this book。 Teddy played the perfect confused, naive, devoted man。 You just wanted to squeeze him。 Kelsey Navarro I don’t even know how you narrated this without having to break every hour just to laugh。 You played this livable neurotic girl better than anyone could This is the book I needed in my life。 I don’t remember the last time I have laughed this hard in a book。 I literally scared my family with how much I was laughing。 This audio was perfect。 Teddy and Kelsey were absolutely perfection in this book。 Teddy played the perfect confused, naive, devoted man。 You just wanted to squeeze him。 Kelsey Navarro I don’t even know how you narrated this without having to break every hour just to laugh。 You played this livable neurotic girl better than anyone could have。 Penny is my new favorite heroine。 Her inner monologue and thought process as well epic word vomit literally gave me life。 I absolutely love this woman and would do anything to have her as my best friend。 You can’t help but love her。 And even with all her crazy she understands Eli better than anyone。 You just feel everything she is feeling。 Also I fucking love her dirty mouth and her petty AF behavior。 Eli you just want to love。 How can you not! He is the most understanding, caring, hot man。 He is absolute perfection。 And his understanding and action of love will just overwhelm you。 I laughed and some how even shed a little tear at the end。 I absolutely loved loved this book。 。。。more
ReadingTilTheBreakOfDawn,
This duet audio was fantastic。 The characters were a bit crazy at times, but they made me laugh and overall I really liked them。 Bring on all the Agitators stories!!!RTC
