A Canadian West Coast baby born and raised, Whitley is married to her high school sweetheart and together they have two beautiful daughters and a fluffy dog. She spends her days making food that gets thrown on the floor, vacuuming Cheerios out from under the couch and making sure that the dog food doesn't end up in the air conditioner. But when the kids are at school and it's not quite wine o'clock, Whitley sits down, avoids the pile of laundry on the couch, and writes.

A lover of all things decadent; wine, cheese, chocolate and spicy erotic romance, Whitley brings the humorous side of sex, the ridiculous side of relationships and the suspense of everyday life into her stories. With single dads, firefighters, Navy SEALs, mommy wars, body issues, threesomes, bondage and role-playing, Whitley’s books have all the funny and fabulously filthy words you could hope for.

Hired - Coincidence or fate brings Dr. Mark and Tori together one night in a bar as she is celebrating her resent divorce. But it is the love and support for his special needs son that takes them on a emotional journey of love and acceptance. Whitley Cox created a world filled with single fathers that rely on each other for encouragement and support and I want the map to go find them. This book had it all - humor, hot sex and a special little boy who stole our hearts. I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait for the next in the series.

Dancing - Staring her life over and completing the wish of her deceased partner, Violet finds enjoyment in teaching dance in Seattle. It is not until she meets the father of one of her students, Adam who opens her heart to finding love again. But can the pressure to dance again with a new partner end the relationship before it begins? Or wil it be the exact thing that Violet needs to finding happiness after tragedy? This was a highly emotional story. I found myself wiping tears from my cheeks while reading. Violet and Adam are both so well written you feel like you actually know them and you cannot help but fall in love with Mira. This is an exceptional addition to the series and I cannot wait for the next installment.

Saved - This is a story about loss, devastation and the willingness and support to fight back and regain your life. Both Paige and Mitch have gone through terrible losses and while Mitch used the love he had for his daughter to survive, unfortunately Paige walked away from hers with feeling of self hatred. But fighting back is worth the hard work and the two find a special bond and inner strength to pick up the pieces and allow love in their hearts. Apart they are broken but together they have a new beginning. This story had me wiping tears from my eyes numerous times. With heart warming characters Whitley Cox allows the reader to feel both the highs of highs and the lows of lows. This might just be my favorite couple so far in the series.

Living - As a Navy Seal, Aaron has been in some volatile situations, but nothing compares to being left in charge of your deceased sisters newborn daughter. Needing all the help he can get he hires Isobel to be his live in nanny. But when sparks fly will the two find themselves in a precarious situation? Or will they keep the feelings to themselves and concentrate only on the baby? This book had me in tears from the opening pages. The reader cannot help but fall in love with Aaron and only want him to open up and let others in. Whitley Cox created a beautiful and heart warming romance while tackling the hot topics such as gun control, foster care, and what a true family means. I absolutely love this series!!

Daddy Support System

Whitley Cox The Single Dads of Seattle bks 01-04

This was my first time with Whitley Cox's books and I liked the stories. There are some repetitions and a few things that drove me batty, but there was also a lot of heart and heat support systems to be found. The kids are often adorable, the dads are hot, and the women kick butt.

I read along with the audio. There is a different pairing of narrators for each book, making this bingeable. The narrators include: Eliza Roberts, Matt Hicks, Stella Hunter, Erin Bateman, Gregory Salinas, Allyson Voller, and Zachary Johnson. Many of these narrators are new to me. I liked some and loved others.

Here are my individual reviews for each book. Happy reading! 📚💋

Hired by the Single Dad 🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Ditching the Kiddie Saddle
Victoria "Tori" Mae Jones definitely ended up bamboozled by her ex, Ken Snider. I really like how she and Dr. Mark Christopher Herron met at her 'Goodbye, Ken' celebration and the flub he kind of makes. Hehehe!

When she took the job, she knew it would be difficult to work for such an attractive man, but what she hadn’t realized was just how hard it would be.
-- Tori Jones

The chemistry is smashing between them, but the real winner is the relationship between Gabe and Tori. It's sweet. The way they bond is so adorable.

I wasn't impressed with how Mark handled himself after one particular incident. The incident was scary and could've ended very badly, but Mark took his fears out on Tori. I was happy that she stood up for herself though. It made me like her just a little more, even while I also agree that she should've done better. It's very realistic either way.

I read along with the audio book. The narrators are Allyson Voller and Zachary Johnson. Both are good choices and easy to listen to.

Dancing with the Single Dad 🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Dirty and Kinky
Violet Benson and Adam Eastwood are wonderfully dirty and plenty kinky. I love that! They have good chemistry and off the dance floor.

[Violet] licked her lips. “Do you do MMA fighting?”

[Adam] shook his head. “Naw, I’m a lover, not a fighter.”

“I’ve noticed.”

Each has had their share of heartbreak and loss. Adam and his ex went through several miscarriages and worse. Violet lost her dance and life partner to cancer. Both relive their pain throughout the book.

The relationship he now has with his ex-wife, Paige, is what I hope most who separate find - either as good or better. The pain they both experienced is hard on a lot of couples who've lost one or more pregnancies. The emotions that come through are loud and clear and possibly triggering for some.

I love the patience Adam consistently displays, pushing here and there but letting Violet set the pace as she continues to deal with her grief. The support system they each have is also wonderful.

We met several of the dads for the series in book one. Here we add a couple more. With that in mind, this is a standalone. There are crossovers and such, but everything is explained enough to follow along easily.

I read along with the audio book as part of the Single Dads of Seattle bks 1-4 collection. The narrators are Erin Bateman and Gregory Salinas. I've had the pleasure of listening to Gregory on numerous occasions, and I like him this time, too. I'm fairly certain this is a first with Erin. I found her very easy to listen to.

Saved by the Single Dad 🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Putting the Past in the Past
Mitchel "Mitch" Benson and Paige McPherson are both single and not ready to mingle, but life has other plans for them. I really like how real they are. Life has thrown them some crap. They've handled it differently, but come out of it in fairly good shape.

“I wish you could see yourself the way others see you. The way I see you. How beautiful you are, inside and out. Your strength, your heart. Those are more powerful than you realize.”
-- Mitch Benson

The stuff with Paige's childhood bully turned adult bully gets a little too much page time. We get it, Marcie is a terrible human being. That said, I love how Paige puts her in her place. It's long overdue after all her antics over the decades.

This does dip into some spiritual aspects of death and communing with the dead. There are also some cute and funny moments with the kids. Ah, from the mouths of babes come some of the best lines

I read along with the audio book, both as parts of The Single Dads of Seattle bks 1-4. The narrators are Matt Hicks and Stella Hunter. I really like Stella. I like Matt, but he's not a favorite male narrator.

Living with the Single Dad 🌟🌟🌟 .5 - Marshmallow Insides
3.5 stars - This definitely pulls at every single heartstring as it opens. Aaron Steele was supposed to be the fun uncle, not a single dad. Isobel "Iz" Jones swoops in to essentially save the day.

She has the patience of a saint as she takes on the role of live-in Nanny for a preemie, Sophie, with hunky, broken Uncle Aaron just down the hall.

He was the fixer. Not her. But he was unfixable.
-- Aaron Steele

I love Iz's heart and determination, even when things backfire. She does end up in a few precarious positions, and she gets walked on a bit. Her backbone and willingness to put herself at risk to save another makes her easy to like. The way she FINALLY asserts herself makes her loveable.

Like another book in this series, the hot and cold of the MMC drove me to distraction. Aaron likes her but shows her little to no respect for so long that I was inwardly begging her to leave and not return. The characters have depth but when the ending was nearing the catalyst for correcting the error of his ways was extreme and seemed superficial and out of place. Yes, it was terrifying for those involved but once the adrenaline wore off, then what? A few sappy words should not have corrected the wrongs.

I read along while listening to the audio book. The narrators are Eliza Roberts and Gregory Salinas. Every emotion comes barreling through and is terrificly delivered.

The Single Dads of Seattle are the stories of ten sexy single fathers brought together by Liam, one of their own to play poker every Saturday night and offer friendship and support. Each guy loves their child fiercely and hopes to find love once again. Until then and always, they have each other. This is a collection of the first 4 books.

Book 1.) Hired by the Single Dad. 3 stars
Out with her friends for a "divorce celebration", Tori meets Mark who picks up the tab for the ladies. He's a single dad himself and understands the pain of a failed relationship. His wife couldn't handle the demands of raising an autistic son while Tori's ex-husband was a cheating, lying jerk who left her penniless, but divorce is divorce, and it hurts. When Mark offers Tori a job caring for his son, it gives her a second chance at her dream. And maybe more. Very Insta-lust and I'm still not sure about the love part. It also took too many unnecessary shortcuts. The best relationship in the book was between Tori and Gabe. When he said her name, my heart melted. It was sweet and believable in a way Tori and Mark were not.



Book 2.) Dancing with the Single Dad 4 star
Adam's daughter, Mira wants to be a ballerina, so he signs her up at a new dance studio with local celebrity, World Famous Prima Ballerina Violet Benson. Violet has returned to Seattle after the loss of her partner Jean-Phillipe and is living with her new widower brother and niece Jayda. From the first moment he sees her, Adam is entranced with the lovely dancer. Mira and Jayda become best friends immediately in the way of little girls, so Adam has the excuse he needs to spend time with Violet. And before she knows it, Violet is looking forward to seeing the handsome professor. As they get closer, they discover a shared love of dance and realize they make a great dance couple. So, when Violet's studio is asked to take part in a holiday performance, Adam is recruited to be her partner. Before long the two are doing more than dancing. I loved Adam and Mira. Best daddy-daughter duo ever. Mira is beyond adorable and made the book for me. Violet was lovely and a good match for Adam but I would have been more comfortable with a different timeline. There are no rules for falling in love and you can't set a timetable for grieving but I had a hard time believing someone who lost the love of her life and professional partner would be capable of getting into another serious relationship within the year.

Book 3.) Saved by the Single Dad 4 star
Paige lost too many pieces of herself; one piece for each baby she lost, until there was nothing left. She lost herself. She was a failure and hated herself. She's worked hard to get back but she's got a way to go. She gave up her marriage and her daughter. She's got her cooking and now she has her dancing to express her pain. Dancing is when Mitch first sees her. Her strength and vulnerability are irresistible. Paige never expects to find love again but Mitch won't be ignored. He has a way of making her see more in herself than she does on her own. The chef and the photographer are each about to get a second chance at love. I didn't love Mitch falling for his friend's ex-wife but despite the messiness, I liked both characters. I loved Paige's character growth. She still needs to learn how to give instead of take but she's come quite a way from her breakdown. I love their daughters and I love the single dads. I really wish there were more poker nights. Their nights together are some of my favorite parts.

Book 4.) Living with the Single Dad 3 stars
Aaron is home again after suffering the worst loss yet in a life too full of tragedy. The former Navy Seal finds himself the sole parent of his newborn niece after his sister was killed in a senseless crime. He never planned to be a father, only the fun uncle, and he has no idea how to be a dad. His sister's best friend, a single dad himself makes arrangements for Isobel, a nanny to help out. Isobel's heart immediately goes out to Aaron and his niece and she quickly becomes invaluable. Her knowledge and heart turn Aaron's house into a home but Aaron's secrets and temper threaten everything. It could have used less drama and more focus on the characters. More time with Isobel and Aaron. More time with Aaron and the other single dads. More people time, less spectacle. We didn't need rescues, we needed more character and relationship-building.

Hired by the Single Dad:
This is the first I have read by this author and it won’t be the last it had everything I look for in a great read, characters with chemistry, plenty of witty banter and friends who are loyal and watch out for each other and let’s not forget the swoon worthy seriously hot single dads all trying to do right by their children. Book 1 is Dr Mark Herron’s story and it’s a great introduction to the series. Mark’s son Gabe was left shattered by the divorce of his parents and it doesn’t help that he he a special needs child who needs a lot of love and attention so when Mark hears Tori explaining to her friends how her ex has taken her to the cleaners and how she desperately needs a job he decides she might be just what he and Gabe need. What follows is an emotional roller coaster and I’m sure like me you will laugh and at times shed a tear as this couple find there way through the mind field of divorce for children.
Dancing With The Single Dad:
I love single parent books and I have to say Whitley Cox knows how to write a great read in this genre, in fact I would go as far as to say I will be putting her on my list of go to authors.
Violet has returned home and opened up a dance studio after losing her dance partner who also happened to be the love of her life and the last thing she is looking for is another partner in dance and love but when Adam walks into her studio with his adorable daughter Mira sparks fly. Adam may be ready to get back in the daring game but Violet is still dealing with grief but when Adam invites Violets brother to join The single dads club poker night it leaves the door open for their adorable daughters to match make for Violet and Adam. Will Violet give love another go.........
Saved By The Single Dad:
This book has all the feels I want and expect in a great read and this author covered the emotional side of miscarriage with compassion and it’s a story that touched me on so many levels.
Mitch and Paige are perfect for each other but can Mitch make Paige see the woman he see’s when he looks at her and can he make her see the strong brave woman he knows she is but more importantly can Paige accept everything Mitch has to offer.......
An emotional, steamy read that captivated me from the first page to the last line, it was great not only reading about Mitch and Paige but also catching up with the single dads from Seattle, it was great joining the poker night for some fun and I can’t wait to see who’s story is next.
Living With The Single Dad:

I’m loving this series so big and with every book I think it can’t get any better that is until I pick up the next book and fall head over heels once again with another single dad from Seattle. This book starts off a lot more serious and a lot sadder than the previous books in the series and it touched me on so many different levels but it captivated me and there was no putting down until I had read the very last line. This is an emotional read you will cry, you will smile and you will love Aaron and Isobel’s story, it’s a journey you will want to read so please one click this great entertaining read........
I’m not going to give too much of the story away because I think you need to read this with no expectations or preconceived ideas of where this love story is going all you need to know is ....
A strong sassy caring woman who has compassion but who is nobody’s doormat and a man who thinks he is not worthy of love come together over their love for a tiny baby born a month early.
This book is my favourite in this series for many reasons but that doesn’t mean I haven’t loved the previous books and that I can’t wait for the next in this wonderful series.

I loved all the stories a lot. My favorite is Isobel Jones' story because she’s such a badass. Not only does she have a huge heart that people tend to take advantage of, but she is also a tough cookie whose parents taught her to have a backbone and take care of herself—but now being a nanny for the broken Aaron Steele the brother of Liam’s best friend and fellow lawyer. Dina Steele was gunned down at a mall. Here are things that stood out:

--“Would you like to assemble the crib and I can take care of Sophie, or would you like to spend some more time with her and I can put together the nursery?” Isobel asked, craning her neck around to peer into the back seat of the truck. “I can put the crib together,” he murmured, happy that she’d broken the silence but not sure how much gusto he should give the conversation. “That’s a man’s job.” She made a disgruntled noise in her throat, then spun in her seat to face him. “You better get over that misogynistic viewpoint and fast, my friend.

You’re raising a little girl, and she needs to be taught there is no such f-king thing as a man’s job or a woman’s job.” She shook her head. “F-k, even if Sophie was a boy, you should still be teaching him that there is nothing a girl can’t do.” The last thing he needed was a pissed-off feminist. “Sorry. Sorry. That’s not what I meant. F-k.” He raked his fingers through his hair. “I didn’t mean to anger the feminist.” Was that a growl? Yep, he was pretty sure she growled. “Anger the feminist? Are you f-ing kidding me right now?

Every goddamn person on this planet should be a feminist. Feminism isn’t about female superiority. It’s about gender equality. That there isn’t anything you can do that I can’t. That we should be paid the same if we do the same job and given equal opportunities.” She crossed her arms over her chest and huffed. “What f-ing century are you living in, buddy?” She glanced out the window. “Anger the feminist. Well, you’ve sure as sh-t angered her now.” “I just meant that I wouldn’t know where to put all her clothes and stuff.

I made the crib, so I can put it back together.” “BS. You’re backpedaling. You put clothes in a goddamn dresser. I took the crib apart, so I’m pretty sure I could put it back together. You better become a feminist right quick, otherwise you will be enlightened, and you won’t like how it’s done.” “And another thing … There are but three things a man can teach a boy that he cannot teach a girl.” He saw her hold up her hand and three fingers out of the corner of his eye. “Three.” “And they are: how to pee standing up, how to clean a foreskin, and how to grow up and not become a rapey bastard.
Everything else, and I mean everything else can be taught to a girl.”

Issy’s dad taught her:
--“I raised my girls to be strong, independent women who can take care of themselves. They don’t need their father threatening boys on their behalf. They can do that all on their own. I taught them self-defense, encouraged them to learn how to fight properly, and take down a man twice their size if need be. Raised warrior princesses, so they can rescue themselves from the tower, slay the dragon, and claim the throne. We’re merely their sidekicks, not their heroes.”

--“Isobel has already read me the riot act about the fact that there are no such things as a man’s job or a woman’s job. She’s tough as nails. She could definitely hold her own in a fight.”

Loved their banter but loved how she didn't take his BS. What I found in all of them you had several people said they should stay with the man who was taking them for granted. I did have a hard time with that. But in Isobel’s book, she had that, but she was making her own decisions.

While out with her girlfriends, she meets Mark and as they strike up a conversation, he realizes she's just the person to care for his son Gabe. What he comes to realize, is that she is also the missing piece to his happiness.

DANCING WITH THE SINGLE DAD
An enjoyable story about Adam, a single father who is attracted to his daughter's dance teacher, Violet. Although Violet is equally attracted to Adam, she is still grieving the death of her boyfriend and dance partner. As their relationship builds, Violet allows herself to love again and finds that Adam is just what she needed to a happily ever after.

Mitch realizes Paige is Adam's ex-wife and Adam is now dating his sister Violet but there are no hard feelings between the couples.

As their friendship builds into a relationship and her self confidence is getting stronger due to Mitch, Paige decides to follow her dream and open her own pastry shop which happens to be next to Mitch's new photography studio. Catering for Mitch's grand opening, Paige realizes she has gained a lot of new friends and her days of being closed off are over.

A lot of emotions with this story!

So many feels so be prepared!

Great narration by all! Great start to the series!

This three-book collection consists of the first four stories in the Single Dads of Seattle series. These stories are heartfelt with characters that touches your heart and draws you into their stories. In the first story Victoria is out with her friends who are celebrating her finally having the guts to leave her husband after all he had put her through. Gabe was sitting at the table behind them listening in shock. He couldn't believe that they were celebrating especially since it was coming on a year since his divorce. After meeting Victoria and hearing her story his heart went out to her. They had that much in common and after learning more about her, she would fit in with him and his son. Could this be the start of a new beginning for the both of them? Next, Adam's and Violet's story is a touching one. They have both experienced loss in different but poignant ways. As the story unwraps, we see the connection between these two as it grows stronger. But in the end will Violet be able to put aside her grief to grasp a happily ever after with Adam? In the story, "Saved by the Single Dad". Mitch and Violet both have had their fair share of heartache at the loss of loved ones. They both have lost children and Mitch also lost his wife who was the love of his life. When he saw Violet dance he was immediately drawn into her expressive dance, and he knew that she had suffered great loss and he wanted to be the one to help her over it. As they ventured towards new possibilities will it also include redemption and love for them as well? Finally, the fourth story is "Living with the Single Dad". Aaron and Isobel had my emotions all over the place. Aaron thought that he would be the cool uncle who would do all the things that an uncle would do for his niece never expecting that his sister would be killed in a tragic way. Now he and his niece are their only family, and he is struggling to keep it together. When his sister's friend hires Isobel who is a nanny to take care of his niece, sparks fly between them, but he has to put his feeling for her on the back burner because having an affair with the nanny is put of the question or is it? This story drew me in and had me connecting with Aaron

Dancing with the Single Dad
I loved listening to the dual narration of Gregory Salinas and Erin Bateman, both perfect for this book.

After losing her dance partner and boyfriend , Violet has opened a dance school, And is not looking for love.

Adam who is divorced has enrolled his daughter Mira for dance lessons and Violet is her new dance teacher.
They have an instant connection. Neither is looking for a new relationship but they cannot deny the chemistry between them. They are undeniably attracted to each other, the sex is hot and steamy,
Good story, great characters.

Bk 1 - Hired by the Single Dad
Love this Story ❤️ - Audiobook Review 🎧
This story kept my interest from the beginning. I love this group of single dads who get together and support each other. My heart goes out to Mark and his son Gabe but they do what they can to get by. Tori is wonderful and really clicks with Mark and Gabe. They both didn't have great relationships the first time around so are a bit afraid of another relationship. Once they decide to let it happen, it was beautiful! I really loved the narration too! Looking forward to listening to the next book!
Bk 2 -  Dancing with the Single Dad
Love Adam and Violet! Audiobook Review 🎧
I loved this book as much as the first one.  It was a beautiful story with 2 people who fell heads over heels in love with each other.  It was hot and sexy and had such wonderful emotions.   I enjoyed seeing all the single Dads in this book again and their friendship they have.  The narration was great and I would recommend this book and this series.
Bk 3 - Saved by the Single Dad
Emotional Love Story ❤️ Audiobook Review 🎧
This was an emotional story about Mitch and Paige, who fell in love and had emotional and heartbreaking pasts that they had to work through.  Their love takes you through a beautiful journey and they are joined by all the other great characters from the previous books.  I loved the narration and this series!
Bk 4 - Living with the Single Dad
One of the best in the series - Audiobook Review 🎧
Aaron becomes a single "dad" for his sister's new baby when she was killed. While he was dealing with such terrible grief, he also has no idea how to take care of a baby. 
Isobel steps in as the nanny to help him out and does her best to help get through to his heart. This is a great book and even though there was a lot of healing that Aaron had to go through, the book wasnt too angsty.  I loved having the single Dads group in the story to help out Aaron and Isobel. The narration in this  book was great and this was one of my favorites of the series.

Narrators did an excellent job. The box set is full of single Dads you can't help but feel for, and the other Dads I'm definitely curious about their stories. To be completely honest I had my ups and downs with how I felt about the books, but it's hard to explain or pinpoint why. I was definitely rooting for an HEA for everyone. Some I felt were really angsty and also high percent of spicy times in all it seemed, so if that's your jam. To be honest, part of my on the fence feelings may be due to the lack of action and adventure, as I tend to be drawn more to those stories, but definitely occasionally enjoy the more contemporary book... and who doesn't like a good single Dad story?...maybe I just needed a higher suspense story thrown in inbetween each story? But the way the stories flowed from one to the other in plot it was hard to not be curious what was next. As a warning too and full disclosure for people who may be like me: one factor I struggled with was some political stuff thrown into one. An author is always allowed to have their opinions of course, and a tidbit showing that is no issue, but in full honesty I almost stopped listening to one because it was brought up repeatedly in a very short period, and I read/listen to get away from the real world so I hesitate slightly when too much of real world lingers in a story. I powered through though. I will say Book 4 definitely brought the action and suspense I craved. And another brought on some serious emotions, so you do get a bit of variety.

Dancing with the single dad
4 stars

This was a sweet romance with a little bit of heat. The characters had quite a lot of past trauma to deal with in their current relationships. With a good story line and humour I really enjoyed it. A fantastic performance from both Erin and Gregory.

All the books here could be listened to as a stand alone, but because of the interconnected characters it’s nice to seem them as a set.

Hired by the Single Dad - 5 stars, my favorite of the box set with personally relatable characters. Narrated by Zachary Johnson and Allyson Voller

Dancing with the Single Dad - 5 stars, unique from most contemporary romance with a heavy emphasis on past relationships. Great narration by Gregory Salinas and Erin Bateman.

Saved by the Single Dad - 4 stars, exceeded expectations given the relationship to a prior character. Excellent narration by Matt Hicks and Stella Hunter.

Living with the Single Dad - 4 stars, tough situation for the main characters and lots of complexity to the story. Narrated by Gregory Salinas and Eliza Roberts.

I received a copy of the audiobook at my request, and the opinions here are my own.

Loved it

Broken navy seal after his time in the service is a real thing. The military men that have to follow orders to do what they have to do, which sometimes is not at all what they want. This book is sad, and sexy,but also has death and friendship and family. A Broken man after his time in the service and the death of his sister ( the only family he has left ) except the baby she left behind. He doesn't believe he's worthy if love of until he hires a nanny for his niece and Saud nanny decides she can't take it any mire and is gonna leave. He has to face facts and tell her how he really feels and beg her to stay.

Awesome first 4 books in the series

Can't wait to read some more about these single dads & what I suspect are related series. The emotion and series and angst and love just ratchets up from book 1 to book 4. Whitney Cox really knows how to not just write a story but involve a reader in the world she writes about. By book 3 I was teary-eyed more and more. Book 4 got me riled up at the injustices in the world. Great plotting and editing. I'm ready for more books by this author.

Single dad's and babies

This was a story of endearing love of single dad's for their babies. How rough, tough men turned into marshmallows for their babies and for their lady loves. The transformation an adventure in is self. This is a story I'd recommend for anyone wanting a steaming romance read.

One of my favorite tropes is single dad, and to have a whole series of one after the other was amazing. I loved how each one went thru different things, but they were still such great dads. I loved seeing each couple work thru some of the problems they had and have their HEA. The narrators did such a good job, they really brought the characters to life.

Love and more LOVE

This book is packed with with so much LOOOVE. It was hard to stop reading. I read till my eyes were blurry and hated to stop to use my eye drops and rest these old eyes. I can read these four books again because it teach U about up and down relationship and how much love these men had for their women.

Absolutely I am loving the series. It is based upon a group of single dads who meet up Saturday night for poker and share their life, struggles and all. This book is the first four and I will definitely read more.

I had already read the first book, so review is about last three.

I like the single dad's poker night. Some fun with people who get what's going on. People ready, willing, able to help at a moments notice.

I want to know more about Liam's background.

All four of these stories are equally emotional, heartwarming and absolutely entertaining. I enjoyed going on these journeys with the single dads, their kids and their other halves. Good stories.
