Tempted by the Single Dad Next-Door

by Summer Rose

Helping raise Olivia was part of the job description, but falling for her firefighter dad definitely wasn't.

It's hard not to think about Scott all the time—about his broad shoulders and toned chest... About how much he loves his daughter. He's so kind and protective of her.

But he's my boss, and I need this job. We can't be together, right?

But all it takes is one a toe-curling, butterfly-inducing, mind-blowing kiss.

Suddenly the lines are all blurred between us. Scott is confused about his feelings and worried about being a good dad. I'm terrified of screwing this up – what if I lose my job, or he's just lonely?

Can two people who've been alone for so long really find love with each other?


Tempted by the Single Dad Next-Door is a short, sweet, and steamy small town instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Curvy Girls of Rosewood Valley.

Cute

It was a cute and fun little read. Scott is looking to hire a nanny for his little girl. Madison is his neighbor and has agreed to watch Olivia. After one kiss all bets are off. Scott doesn't want to cross that line and Madison is not sure either. Will that kiss linger and tempt them?

he left his daughter who has nightmares in the middle of the night to go have sex with the nanny down the road. with no one there to watch her.

This was so good from start to finish. From the sweet interactions between Miranda and the little girl in the story was so fun to read and how they all developed. Miranda was heading for a full on burn out so her boss had told her to go to this small town to remember why she went and became a doctor in the first place. Miranda is swept away with the small town feeling and the whole family feel and everyone helping take care of one another. She meets David and his little girl when she needs to check up on his daughter. This was a well -written romance and the way these two come together made for a really sweet read. I enjoyed it from start to finish. This is a must read!

Very Good Story!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. It’s another story like one I read already by another author (Zoey Rose) but I love these stories. Scott raising Olivia alone needs a nanny to help out. In comes Madison and Olivia takes to her right away. Something she doesn’t normally do. Scott takes to Madison as Madison does to Scott. They both want to respect boundaries but they both want each other so a family of 3 soon to be 4 and I’d love more to their story. Oh well! 🥰🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜💜😊😊😊😊

The blurb is slightly misleading. No, she didn't almost faint when she met him. She really didn't have a reaction at all. Also, after their first kiss that was a lot of pull back from both. They didn't dive right into the relationship after the kiss. Slightly angsty read. A lot of should I, should I not from both.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Scott needs a nanny and what he gets instead is the best surprise….a family. Madyson is falling in love with Scott’s daughter Olivia…her father isn’t too bad either. This is a quick read that I really enjoyed. These two definitely belong together! I look forward to reading more books by this author.
