I loved Single Mom's Christmas Wish. Dakota is drowning, she needs to save her house and figure out how to send her genius daughter to a special school. Unfortunately, making money is hard. Meeting the Faulkner triplets changes her life. Archer, Maddox and Reed do everything together including wanting Dakota. It’s unconventional but it works for them until Dakota has a stipulation in her grandmothers will and needs a husband. She has to deal with her snake of a half sister and her ex-husband. Life keeps kicking her but her men are determined to give her everything she needs. I loved the storyline and the characters. I would definitely recommend this book.

Dakota, a divorced single mother to Maisie, is struggling to get by. She has the bank on her back threatening foreclosure, she is taking jobs where she can, to make ends meet. Thank god for her best friend Chelsea who looks after Maisie whenever she is needed. Dakota is a child CPR training specialist and also a Mixologist, she works whenever and wherever she can pick up shifts. One of these gigs leads her to a local community centre to give Child CPR training to a single dad's club. There she stumbles into the class and her gaze falls on triplet brothers Reed, Archer and Maddox, she can't look away and is stealing glances to them constantly. The same goes for the brothers, they have all locked on to her, immediately the attraction is felt.

The brothers are there to help with dealing with Trevor. They took Trevor in when their best friend and his wife both lost their life in an accident. They are trying to find answers, help and guidance to connect with Trevor, to help him through this traumatic event. Because of the loss of her parents when she was the same age, the brothers connect with Dakota more and ask if she would be willing to meet up and chat.

The attraction deepends immediately, the brothers have never felt this way about other women in their lives. Dakota who has so much going on in her life has allowed herself this distraction, this 'me' time she has with the men. They are hoping that Maisie, even though young, is patient and kind, will help Trevor open up. But when she finds out a death of her paternal grandmother, someome she has had very rare contact with, and the stipulations in the will, cause even more stress for Dakota.

Dakota is so use to dealing with everything on her own, finds it hard to turn to the brothers for help. The brothers try to show Dakota she is not by herself any more and they will do anything to help. Callie, her step-sister, is not going to take things lying down. She is entitled to the inheritance, not Dakota, she will do anything to get it.

A roller coaster of emotions for Dakota. Dealing with being a single mam, work issues, financial troubles, an ex who turns up out of the blue, her growing feelings for the brothers, and the bitchiness of the step-sister. All this is taking the toll on her and when she finds out another truth, how does she tell her men?

The brothers have fallen for Dakota and Maisie, she has them all under her spell, they want her in their life and will do anything to make her and Maisie's life the best they can have. But Dakota doesn't make it easy for them, but they will fight anything and anyone who hurts the woman they love.

Dakota is a mom of a young daughter, doing multiple gigs to keep them afloat. She’s a “hot mess” who teaches men from a single dad’s club cpr for kids. There she meets the triplets Reed, Maddox, and Archer (age 39) who are somewhat skeptical of her. All are raising one kid together named Trevor, who tragically lost his parents, who were the brother’s close friends. Together they stepped and took him in but of course they’re struggling as new parents with a child who has gone through a devastating loss.

The brothers are former marines, who are now businessmen and entrepreneurs. Reed is the one who reaches out to fmc first, the middle man who tries to understand and explain everyone’s side. Mr. Goody too shoes. Maddox is the harder to read triplet, cautious, but still very attracted to the fmc. He’s definitely the more observant and patient one. Archer definitely speaks his mind even if it kicks him in the butt, honestly a bit rude and not self aware in my opinion. He’s playful but definitely a bit of a red flag, but hey I like the color red.

Dakota is doing her best to navigate her feelings while being a single mom, along with dealing with her own family trauma.

Single parents
Found family
Triplet Brothers
Instant attraction
Multiple pov
Healing from loss

Dakota is a hardworking single mom with the brightest young daughter trying her best to keep her little family afloat after her ex-husband walked out on them and leaving her in significant debt and swearing away men. When she meets the Faulkner triplets during a side gig teaching CPR at the community center, her eyes are opened to the possibility of pursuing a relationship. But how can she possibly choose between Reed, Archer, or Maddox? And what will she do when they tell Dakota that she never has to choose?

Single Mom's Christmas Wish is a reverse harem romance with plenty of heat, lots of alpha energy, and strong protectors ready to take action, but not overpower their independent woman. The plot is interesting with some twists & turns and the characters are likeable. Very happy to see that goodness can win, and bad actions do lead to unsavory consequences, and all is well that has a happy ending. Enjoy!

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Dakota Ellis, Archer, Reed, & Maddox Faulkner. Dakota is just there to run and instructional class on child CPR to the single dad's club. When she gets there though she is 30 minutes late and Archer makes sure to tease her mercilessly. The thing is not only does she have a lot of great information for the dad's she also knows something about what the Faulkner men are going through with their son. Archer, Reed, & Maddox are at the club to get some in site and maybe a little help with finding a way to connect with Trevor. What they didn't plan on was one woman that would not only capture their attention but maybe have more in site than most on what will help Trevor. Can they all find a HEA or will outside forces make sure that never happens?

Another amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

[Beverly McCall · Rating 4 out of 5]

Single M om’s Christmas Wish by Kai Lesy is an entertaining reverse harem romance. In it, she chronicles the romantic journey o Dakota and the Faulkner triplets—Reed, Archer, and Maddox. After her ex-husband, Keith, walked away, Dakota got a divorced, moved home and works hard as a single-mom to raise her daughter, Maise. When one of her part-time gigs leads her to the Single-Dad’s Club, she meets the Faulkner triplets. There is an instant attraction. All parties are cautious but there is a definite attraction. As in most of this romances, her down-on-his-luck, ex-husband returns creating havoc in her life. Meanwhile, the Faulkner brothers are trying to adopt Trevor, who lost his parents in a fatal accident. When Keith’s antics comes to their door as well the brothers go into action. Will they keep Dakota and the children safe? Will Keith finally see he light and man up? Will Dakota, the children, and the Faulkner brothers find happiness? To discover what unfolds you must read this book.

Once again, Ms. Lesy penned a remarkable polyamorous suspenseful romance. Her characters are multi-dimensional. She reveals their strengths and vulnerabilities, thus, endearing them to her readers and making them real. Her dialog is strong. Her use of multi-POV further helps readers to understand the lead characters and their dynamics. I enjoyed the way she created the antagonist, Keith and how his actions added tension and suspense to this plot. .

What a wonderful read by Kai Lesy in the new book "Single Mom's Christmas Wish." From the very beginning I was drawn in, from start to finish. Teaching CPR and being a bartender who makes cocktails into an art form, and being a single mom to a prodigy of a little girl keeps Dakota on her toes. She's busy trying to keep afloat. During one of her CPR lessons she meets triplet brothers Reed, Archer and MA
at the single dad's club. There was an immediate attraction. The way they looked at each other you can just picture it. Even though it's not the norm they all decided they are going to go into the relationship head first. Do something for themselves. Dakota realized she deserves it. I was hooked. I highly recommend this book.

I was given an advanced reader copy of this book for my honest review.

[Rachael · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hmmmm….spoilers

Dakota meets the Faulkner triplets as she teaches CPR to their single dads club and there is an immediate reaction. Lots of ex drama and family drama surrounding Dakota. Her half sister is horrible and not sure how she ends up forgiving her so quickly but I guess the author does change her character arc a bit. Dakota has a five year old gifted daughter and lots of discussions regarding getting her into a special school along with saving her grandmothers house. Dakota was very stubborn almost to her detriment. I had an issue with how much time her daughter spent with the best friend Chelsea that runs a daycare. Throughout the book, Maise spent more time with Chelsea than her own mother.
Was a fast burn with plenty of spice but just didn’t really like the severe stubbornness and secrecy from Dakota. Did have a few epilogues.

[TL Bradshaw · Rating 3 out of 5]

Inconsistencies

The time line was too specific and flawed.
The FMC was independent and fierce until it came to taking care of business. Worried and a 80 k school tuition when her home is being foreclosed.
Her way to deal with stuff is to run away... With no money and you can go away for a week along with your friend who runs her own business but is not there to.run it. What a flake daycare!
I had a feeling the author was going somewhere w but the journey seemed to go off course as the author tried to get to there? Why was Dakota suddenly so forgiving of callie? Inviting her to the wedding? Driving her to her hotel when she had been in town for three weeks - I'm sure she had a car or driver! Reed taking a drink from a person that they do not trust only to drink it all?
The break in to set up cameras was predictable..
I was disappointed in the book.

I loved parts of this book but others not so much I get being a single mom is hard but come on she really didn’t have her child her friend did I had a single mom and worthless father but she was still there working hard but she’s still was present every day and night plus working 50 hr weeks but that’s beside the point plus the FMC kinda kept pissing me off if you or your friend is struggling you help them not coddle them you help them even if it’s not what they want the FMC was losing everything around her than a gift is handed to you I get being burned but you need help she kept pushing it away but still wanted it all she very stubborn to the point I don’t get why they stayed but again it’s not my story the best parts are the kids and guys her not so much I’m team Chelsea

[Fiona · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an absolutely wonderful story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and recommend it to anyone who enjoys this type of story. The characters were strong and relatable. There was action and spicy bedroom action throughout the book. Dakota, a struggling single mother is facing losing everything while trying to keep it all together, meets triplets at the community centre, they are struggling to bring up their friend’s son after their tragic loss. All four are enjoying a wonderful relationship but have obstacles they need to overcome to enjoy their happily ever after.

Dakota is a single mom and feels as though she is drowning in debt and failing her genius daughter, who Dakota feels she would benefit going to a prestigious school. Through a job Dakota meets the Faulkner triplet brothers. I love how seamlessly Dakota and the triplets, Reed, Archer, and Maddox slot into each other's lives. Dakota is a strong female and is use to relying on herself alone, but with the triplets she has someone on her side. The chemistry between Dakota and the triplets made me feel happy and ready to read more and more. Fantastic story, wonderful characters.

Dakota returned home with her young daughter hoping to return to her roots. She is working multiple jobs to make ends meet. On her first night teaching cpr to single dads Dakota is shocked by a set of triplets. Archer, Maddox and Reed are trying to help their grieving godson during the loss of his parents. They are in the middle of adopting him and joined a single dads support group in hopes of learning a few things. What the brothers didn't expect was to find a woman who might just be what they all need. Dakota never realized she needed strong dominating men, three to be exact.

I'll start off by saying this author is a favorite, and I am always excited for a new book to be released. This book started out hard for me to get into not sure if it was just the fast pace of it or if i was just in a mood, but I continued on and boy am I glad I did. It dug its hooks into me and kept eagerly flipping pages so I could see how everything would play out. I loved the characters, and this was a very enjoyable read.

Back home trying to pick up the pieces she meets Archer, Reed and Maddox when she is the CPR instructor at their single dad's club meeting. The guys are instantly attracted to her but she is wary of jumping into another relationship. This is a heartwarming read with plenty of character development, some steamy parts and lots of feels.

Single mum - Dakota is struggling to keep her head above water with bills and her bank foreclosing. On one job at her community centre teaching CPR for kids does she come face to face with triplets - Archer, Maddox and Reed. Sparks definitely fly between all of them. Complications come in the form of underhand family, a waste of space Ex husband and Trevor (the son of their best friends who have died). Add to that a will that causes more problems for Dakota and puts her up against her step-sister - Maisie. This was a great read and I loved all of the main character too.

[Allyson Roberts · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s an enjoyable read for the most part. A few times I had to go back a couple times and make sure I hadn’t accidentally skipped a few pages because some of the chapters seemed very disjointed. The storyline skips time frequently without acknowledgment too. The first half doesn’t go by quickly, but at about 60% it FLIES through the rest of the storyline. Some of the characters felt forgotten, I got through the entire book and felt like I knew nothing about Maddox at all, while Reed and Archer felt interchangeable at best.

Will she accomplish getting married in time.

This book held my attention from beginning to end. The characters had such emotion and connection. A beautiful set of characters that deserve their HEA. Loved that the brothers would do anything for Dakota and stuck by her. Invoking kids in the story also further showed the characters qualities and loyalties. One of my favorite Kai Lesy books.

This was an engaging read full of heart and passion. Dakota is a struggling single mom when she meets triplets, Reed, Archer and Maddox. They all strike sparks together as they start their journey. However, there's a fair bit of drama, twists and surprises ahead before they can get their HEA. They definitely are stronger together and all deserve their wonderful happy ending. I enjoyed the reading ride and look forward to what's next by this author :D
