Stuck with the Single Dad

Stuck with You #4

by Georgia Coffman

I’m stuck with my one-night stand.

What was supposed to be a quick and blissful night with a yummy stranger has turned into my worst nightmare, thanks to a nasty storm and power outage.

The carefree single life I choose to lead only works because I wholeheartedly avoid getting to know the guys I meet. And now, I’m dangerously close to being swept off my feet by the tattooed former soccer player. I can’t escape learning every intriguing detail about him.

Not that it matters, of course. I won’t be seeing him again.

Except fate intervenes, and I do see him again—and he asks me to marry him.

With wild hair and charm for days, Wade Jameson is the stuff of fantasies. It’s why I hooked up with him in the first place. But marriage? Ha! I cherish my single life like I do my margaritas.

But when he insists I’m his best option to get custody of his daughter since we have “a history,” I can’t say no.

I can’t share with him the main reason I say yes, either. That would mean getting even closer to him, and developing real feelings for my fake husband would be a mistake.

But as we pretend to be a family, I surprise myself and wonder… what if we can have it all?

5 Star review of Stuck With The Single Dad by Georgia Coffman

Georgia Coffman is a relatively new author to me but what I have read I have enjoyed. When I read the blurb for this book, I was intrigued and could not wait to read. This is former soccer player and single dad, Wade Jameson’s story and it was an entertaining read.

All it takes is one night to change the course of a person’s life. Wade is desperate to obtain more time with his recently discovered daughter Violet and after a night with Bree Finley, he proposes they enter into a fake relationship.

I loved this story, it was witty, passionate story with plenty of heart and soul and left me with a smile on my face.

Stuck with the Single Dad was amazing. I loved this story. Bree is everything. I loved her personality and her humor. I could not wait to see how her story unfolded and Georgia Coffman did not disappoint. Wade was perfect. I loved his love for Violet and his personality. He was far from perfect but he tried really hard to be there for his girls. The writing was easy to read and fast paced. The spicy scenes were perfectly written and hot. I loved the ending so much. It was sweet and so romantic.

What do you do when you have two very strong willed and determined people? Throw them together in a fake marriage with some forced proximity and try to ignore the sparks constantly flying between them!

This story was a fun read with a very spunky heroine and a hero willing to do whatever it takes to be the right guy— whether that be a great dad to his daughter, or fake husband to the woman he’s really falling for.

I loved the batter and spice in this one! Definitely a top read for me this year!

Couldn’t put it down

This book was my case of booksomnia the day I started it. I literally read it cover to cover in one day.

Bree Finley is the one in her group of friends who is deadset against settling down. Been there, done that, uses the T-shirt as a cleaning rag. So you could say she’s a bit jaded in love. But that’s ok…because one night stands are enough for her. She gets what she needs & gets away with as little attachment as necessary.

Wade Jameson is a man trying to navigate life in a new city, unemployed, & knowing practically no one. He has recently retired from his lucrative career as a professional soccer star, but he has done what is best for Violet. Violet is the six year that he has recently discovered he fathered years ago in a one night stand. He’s missed the last six years & is determined to not miss anymore of this sweet girl’s life. His only friend is his across the hall neighbor who is a fellow single dad & a cop, Tucker.

As Bree finds herself being left behind her friends on the relationship front, she leaves Margarita Night on a mission to prove she still has what it takes to pick up a guy. And what a man to pick up! Wade is out for a guys night with Tucker, and he seems to have it all…except…he doesn’t. Their one night was magical & scorching & just what Bree needed to make herself feel better about where she is in life.

Wade finds that he needs more stability when it comes to getting time with his daughter, so job seeking finds him in the office of his one night stand, Bree. Names are properly exchanged, resumes are reviewed, and a proposition is proposed.

This one night stand / fake dating / forced proximity / single dad / found family had me giggling, swooning, & entranced by the chemistry. Violet is a whirlwind all her own & her connection with Bree just solidified the connection with Wade. But what happens when you fall in love with your fake husband or wife & you have a pact to just be friends?

The side characters & background story progressing here between Tucker & Harper had me drooling for more of their story.

A one-night stand, marriage of convenience, surprise daughter, reverse age gap and a chemistry that is off the charts is what Stick with the Single Dad delivers. Ms. Coffman had me laughing at times but also holding my breath at the same time. Who knew that a torching one-night stand with no information exchanged would lead to seeing two people married and falling in love? Could your heartstrings be pulled by the mere mention of a little girl and custody by a hot-as-hell ex-soccer player that rocked your world?

Well, that is exactly what happened to Bree after her no-strings wanted one-night stand. Just needed to scratch her itch but the itch ended up seeing her again. This scratch was an ex-soccer player, and now a new dad to a six-year-old girl, Violet, Wade. Bree has been living rent-free in his memory. Panic sets in regarding his daughter and he asks Bree to marry him. Will the girl who doesn't want anything to do with relationships help him out and say yes? Will this marriage of convenience be just that or will the heart get involved?

This book is one that I could not put down. I needed to see if Bree was going to change her mind and fall for Wade and love his daughter as well. Was Wade going to get his head out of his ass and realize that she was not like his daughter's mother? The three of them were an instant family and I loved how sweet and carefree Violet was. Yes, there were a few bumps in the road to happiness but the ride was well worth the outcome.

Stuck with the Single Dad was a wonderfully fun 4. 5 star read for me! Georgia is once again giving me characters that I can't help but fall in love with!
This is a one night that turns into so much more when a storm hits, and they might just have gotten stuck together.
Bree Findlay is to have some fun and live a little and a handsome sexy one-night stand is looking so good right now. Let's get to know Bree a little she is strong, opinionated, sassy, not one to share feelings or her thoughts and definitely not looking for a long-term relationship.
Wade Jameson was a professional soccer player until he leaned about his 7-year-old daughter Violet. He didn't know she existed and now the mom would like him to relinquish his rights. So, he takes a leave and moves closer to get to know her. Being a parent may have not been in his plan, but it is now. Now back to Bree, he wanted to blow off some steam and a sassy, independent gal just came into his sights. He wants to get to know her, and she wants the opposite. Now Wade needs a fake relationship and Bree discovers that the story does more than tug at her heart strings. This couple goes from a sizzling connection to an unexpected deal. They have sizzle, great witty banter, are at odds but then are ending up on the same team. Violet was cute, sassy, vulnerable and such a wonderful addition to this surprising couple.

“It’s better to be under an umbrella by yourself than with a boyfriend.”

Wade is a newly discovered father, 8 years earlier he had a one night stand. The woman never told him about their child, but now that her husband wants to legally adopt their daughter Violet, Wade is being asked to sign over all his rights. Wade is ready to be a father and after missing 8 years he will do anything and everything it takes. Including marrying a woman he just met.

Bree and Wade were a great marriage of convenience. The two met one evening, had a one night stand and no plans of seeing each other ever again. However, one month later Wade shows up at Bree’s job for an appointment having no idea she would be who he is meeting with. Wade is able to convince Bree to marry him as a solution to making him seem stable and from there the two begin their pretend marriage.

Bree is not one for relationships but it pretty quickly becomes apparent that Wade is special and someone she is not pretending with. I loved how supportive they were of each other and how they cared for Violet so fully. I absolutely loved this story and cannot wait for the next Georgia Coffman book.

“I shared my umbrella with him.”

[Amy Crull · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was so cute and a lot of fun to read!! The author definitely saved the best for last! Out of the 4 girls, Bree was always the outgoing one and the one willing to share her one night stands. She's cares a lot and just wants to have fun. But there's more to Bree then that. She's had a rough time growing up and that lead to how she is with guys. Meeting Wade changed her life for the best. She never wanted to be tied down and especially no kids.
Wade was a professional soccer player but gave it all up when he found out about his daughter. He wants to spend time with her but he has to do some growing up and have responibilities in life first. Meeting Bree and having the one night of fun,changed his life as well. These two may be faking everything but they have serious chemistry and work so well together. They want the best for one another and to truly have a family.
The one thing I loved about the book was the realness of it. You have a dad who wants to have a connection with his daughter and will do anything, including marrying a woman he barely knows to make it happen. Besides Wade and Bree, you get Violet (his daughter), Gaga(his spunky grandma), Tucker and his daughter and Harper(Bree's sister) along with the girls. This was such a fun and heartwarming romance book!! I so love this author and how she brings these stories to life. There's so much heart in them!!

4.5 Stars for Stuck with the Single Dad
Georgia Coffman is a fairly new author to me and I’m honestly struggling to understand why I haven’t read more by her. Bree Findlay and single dad Wade Jameson’s journey is captivating, fun, entertaining and witty and it will certainly appeal to a wide range of audiences.
Wade is new in town and he he trying his best to get his life back on track after giving up his career as a professional soccer player for the daughter he has just found out about…..
Bree is only looking for fun nights not looking to settle down but when one night leads to a few more after a power blackout she learns a lot more about Wade the man who was only meant to be hers for a night.
Wade needs help because the mother of his 7 year old daughter Violet wants him to give up his rights so he asks Bree to be his fake wife. What follows is an entertaining, sweet and witty read as this couple go from passionate lovers to friends and back to lovers again…….
The road was never going to be easy and this couple needed to negotiate a few twists and turns before they got the HEA they deserved and I was so happy to be with them on their journey. A great read and I’m looking forward to reading more from this very talented author.

Bree loves her three besties that are all in committed relationships but one-night-stands work much better for her. She's been there, done that, and has no desire to repeat it. Those secrets are safely locked away in her small home town. Then she finds herself stuck in a nasty storm with the hottest guy she's ever met. What are the odds he'd show up at her work looking for a job? And how in the world did she suddenly agree to marry the man so can get joint custody of the daughter he just discovered.

Wade just found out he had a daughter about a year ago and he's done everything to prove to her mother that he can be a good father to Violet. But without a wife he can't prove he has a stable family environment for her. Finding the women he spent the most incredible weekend with has him thinking fate just stepped in.

How will Bree and Wade traverse all the choices they've made when emotions and feelings start changing everything?

The only con I found with this book was there are so many characters introduced that some were overlooked and left me wondering.

I received an ARC and freely offer this review.

“A stranger who listens like a saint but fucks like a sailor on leave.”

Oh heck yeah!!! 🙌🏽🤣 thats Wade for ya!

Imagine planning on leaving as soon as you’re done with your one night stand but end up getting stuck because of the weather? Well that’s what happened to Bree. Bree loves her carefree single life, no more relationships, been there done that. She thought she could have her one night with Wade and never see him again but it seems fate has something else planned.

Their paths cross again and all of a sudden the guy she thought she would never see again proposes to her! One look at Wade with his daughter and she was done, she’ll do anything to help him be able to spend more time with his daughter. And thus begins their marriage of convenience.

The more they spend time together, the more lines they cross and the harder it is to remember that none of it is real. But can it be? Can they really have it all?

A romcom with a hot AF former soccer player determine to have custody of her daughter and the woman who’s determined to help him without getting their feelings in the way. Lots of laughter and swoony moments. Some spicy too! 🥵 And don’t forget Bree’s BFFs and their men. Oh and there are some cute bromance moments you’ll definitely love!

“I never want to be someone’s temporary partner. I want to be someone’s everything, always, forever.”

Bree always thought it better to be alone that disappointed in a relationship, until one evening trying to boost her confidence, she meets Wade. They hit it off and share a night together, when all he wants is get to know her but all she wants to do is run away.
Fate has other ideas for these two, they meet again and he asks her to marry him. Why? Because she can help him get custody of his daughter.

She says yes to help this gorgeous man wanting to be the perfect father for his daughter. But catching feelings and falling for the physical connection they share is very challenging. Plus pretending to be a family is very easy! How can you stop something that started so easily.

This book, had me all over the place, I laughed, I sobbed, it was so easy to see the family dynamic with the MC’s plus the kid, it was beautiful. I can say without a doubt that I loved these characters, Bree was so sure of herself at every moment of her life, she knew what she wanted and needed and did not accept anything less. And Wade well he takes his time to figure it out, but he is just as devoted.

[Amy [Book Addict Reviews] · Rating 5 out of 5]

I ADORE Bree and Wade. They easily are my favorite couple in this series and I couldn’t get enough of them. These two have an instant connection and the chemistry is off the charts.

What happens when your one night stand becomes your husband? Well…..Bree definitely found out and she wasn’t expecting any of it. Bree is all about the single life and one night stands, she doesn’t want to be tied down, however, she also can’t resist helping Wade. Wade’s life has changed when he found out he is a father, but now he needs to fight for his daughter.

I love the chemistry, I love seeing their relationship progress and change throughout this story. I love seeing Bree and Violet’s relationship grow and I really adore Wade and Violet’s relationship grow and seeing them bond as father and daughter. There were so many sweet moments between them.

If you’re looking for an one night stand, marriage of convenience, single dad, reverse age gap, rom com check this one out.

[Rebekah Powers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Y’all, I was totally expecting a lighthearted rom-com with maybe some light angst. I was NOT prepared for it to tug my emotional heartstrings so hard!! First off, Bree’s stubborn, sassy, and spirited way of going through life is awesome. I loved the way she thought and her carefree nature that seemed effortless. But what I came to appreciate so much more was her determination and her big heart.

And Wade, loved him while also had moments of hating him. When he does things right, there’s no one better, but when he’s wrong, it’s a dumpster fire. But watching these two come to the realization that they’re living a love comes softly romance - it’s nothing short of pure perfection. I cried, was punched in the gut, cheered on some debauchery, and walked on cloud nine during the span of this book.

[Kelly Brennan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bree has been one of my favorite characters since book 1. I am so glad we finally get to see this no filter, tough loving girl , " I don't do relationships" get her story. Bree and Wade are an absolute perfect match.

Bree and Wade were meant for a one night stand until he shows up in her office 6 weeks later unexpectedly looking for a job. Wades life has just changed and trying to fight for custody for her daughter Violet. Bree on the other has this pull towards Wade she can't explain and/or just wants to ignore. So when he offers up an agreement to join into a fake marriage it goes against everything she believes in but yet can't find a way to say no.

These two have such an amazing chemistry. The banter is perfect, the story is perfect and that little girl is amazing. To watch Bree be vulnerable and fall in love is the best way to finish off this amazing series.

Recently became a member of Georgias arc team therefore I’ve started reading this series backwards as this “Stuck with” book is the last of the series, but if they are as witty, romantic, steamy and interesting as this one then I look forward to reading more. Wade and Bree meet one evening at a bar sparks fly, and they spend some time together( more than they anticipated) , Bree the last of her friends to settle down doesn’t believe marriage is for her but little does she know Wade needs some sort of a stable life to be able to see his daughter therefore agrees to a fake relationship , here starts the excitement and romantic journey from fake to real to their hea. Loved everything about this book. Great characters, friendships and story. Look forward to catching up with the rest of the girls.

Stuck with the Single Dad is a fun, sweet, and fast burn read with a lot of growth for both of the main characters, Bree and Wade. The marriage of convenience trope is a favorite of mine, and I think it was so fitting that Bree's book included that, because otherwise I'm not sure if she ever would've made it down the aisle! There is also a little reverse age gap, but Wade and Bree are absolutely perfect together, especially with their similar pasts.

If you've read the other books (not required to read this one), then you will understand how I was so excited for Bree to finally get her HEA, but also sad because it's the last one of the series and it feels almost like I'm saying goodbye to a few friends myself!

[Lisa Petty (Book Bangers Blog) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I didn't know what to expect when I started reading this book, but I totally loved it. I loved the storyline and the characters. Loved how it sucked you in made you laugh and have a feel-good drama as well. Bree has always said she will never settle down. She doesn't want that life and she plans to keep it that way. When her one-night stand Wade comes into her life well there will be more than the hot and steamy bedroom. Wade needs help and he knows that Bree is the one to help him. He will do whatever he has to in order to keep his daughter. What happens though when these two start something they may not be able to finish? This story had it all intrigue, love, passion, drama for sure, and two people who banter like crazy.

[Libby · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been waiting for Bree's story since Billionaire and Ms Coffman more than delivered! This one had EVERYTHING!

Bree is the queen of the "one night stand" and she has a good reason. She will not let herself be swayed by things such as "feelings" or "relationships." Then Wade Jameson happened.

One night with Bree Finley and he was hooked. She was everything that was missing from his life. Then she disappeared.

That's probably a good thing, he can't really get involved since he's fighting for custody of his daughter. The things standing in his way... a job and a wife. Imagine his luck when he goes to the employment center and comes face to face with the woman who might just hold the answers.

My, my, my, Mr. Wade will have you in stitches, and sweating. Bree is such a hoot, I loved everything about her. Nothing steals my heart more than kids in romance, and Miss Violet will certainly do that. She is a doll! This more than met all my expectations for the Girl group and romance. Five margarita glasses and stars!

[Carmela Dimattia · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a fun read about a one night stand that leads to a fake marriage and then fake becomes real for Wade and Bree. I loved this book so much. It had me laughing along with the characters and I loved Violet, Wade’s daughter whom he did not know existed. All the side characters were fun and interesting and Wade and Bree had a journey but they managed to turn their fake marriage into love and happiness. A great read by Ms Coffman that will keep you entranced with this edge of your seat goodness.

I received an arc copy from the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Oh my goodness, this book is so funny, wonderful and heartwarming. Wade and Bree are such a wonderful couple! They have amazing banter, passion and love for one another.

Although they are both put into an unexpected and challenging situation, they make the best of it and realize how much they need one another. They also help one another grow, let their insecurities go and open themselves to new experiences.

This series is so amazing and filled with wonderful characters, love stories and amazing HEA’s!

Bree likes her life as it is with no attachments or relationships. She does one nightstands and walks away. She has one with Wade a former soccer player and when it’s time to leave a storm and power outage keeps them together! But he talks about his life and then asks for her help. He has a daughter that he only found out about a year before but his ex doesn’t let him see he because he’s not married. So he asks to to have a fake marriage to help him and she agrees. Bit with their physical attraction will the fake still apply? I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

After what she thought was a one night stand Bree certainly didn't know what was coming from soccer player, Wade.
This was funny and very well done. Made me smile in more than a few places and the characters played off against each other so well. Bree and Wade really were like chalk and cheese, plus with little Violet, Wade's daughter they were like a match made in heaven.
Very well done, with amazing characters that came alive in the book and got me involved. Well written, great plot and a delight to read.

A fun read that starts with a one night stand, to a fake marriage, and then becomes real. Wade and Bree are cute together, I enjoyed their time together. It was a different twist on a single dad story. It was interesting how everything played out, you have to read it to see. The ending was so sweet. I enjoyed this book, it was sweet and fun read with a bit of steam. I recommend you read this book, and meet these interesting characters.

OMG THIS STORY!!!! Wade and Bree’s story was sooooo good! I love the instant connection they have and love seeing that when fate puts them together after their night together, the attraction is still there. This book is the last of the series, but I will for sure be heading back to check out the rest of the series. I love that each character has their own book and love that they all interconnect. This book is so good that you won’t be able to put it down!

4.5 stars Bree the one night stand queen meets Wade at a bar. They hit it off and end up at his apartment after their steamy encounter when she goes to leave, she finds out there is a power outage and is stuck at his place. That leads to more steamy adventures. Fast forward they meet again and find themselves entering into a fake marriage for different reasons. I loved how it all played out especially for them and for her sister and his friend Tucker too. Good fun read.

[Kate · Rating 5 out of 5]

I always love Georgia's writing and this was no exception with such a mix of tropes which I loved. Wade is the perfect book hero for sure though I wasn't quite as fond of Bree, but that's only because her lifestyle choices don't align with mine and I won't hold that against her! Terrific secondary characters made for a lovely supporting cast. Some real laughs, very sweet moments and plenty of heat too. I haven't read the previous books in this series yet but I definitely will now.

[Tiffany Hannick · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story is so easy to fall into. Bree and Wade are fun, flirty, yet real. You can’t help falling head over heels in love with them. Bree is strong and stubborn when it comes to her negative feelings on relationships and love. Wade is a single dad who is swoon worthy yet trying to figure out what he really wants out of life. Together their story takes you on a fun ride where they learn a lot about themselves and each other.
