Single Dad Problems: A Contemporary Reverse Harem Romance
Three ridiculously hot men in tiny second-grade desks at my parent-teacher conference would’ve been hilarious... if they weren’t the same three men from my one-night stand. Now their kids are in my class. Just peachy.
I've spent years raising my autistic son alone, pretending I've got everything under control while my ADHD brain runs on caffeine and color-coded sticky notes. If anyone finds out I'm falling for three single dads, I'll be hauling my classroom plants to my car in a sad cardboard box. Too bad these men are every bad decision I've ever wanted to make.
There's Cole—the ex-Navy SEAL who looks like the tattooed gods my mama warned me about. Luke—the buttoned-up control freak who folds my laundry without asking and has discovered the fastest way to keep my attention... one spanking at a time. And Ben—the charming flirt who laughs at all my jokes... until the door closes and I'm the one begging for more.
Sharing me for one night was easy for them, but falling for me is tearing them apart. I'd rather lose all three than become the crack that finally breaks them. So I made a stay away from them, protect their friendship, and avoid getting fired by the predator who calls himself my boss.
Then a whole row of positive pregnancy tests lined up on my best friend's bathroom sink blew my plan to hell.
Single Dad Problems is a laugh-out-loud, spicy why-choose rom-com featuring three single dads, a neurodivergent heroine, forbidden romance, and a guaranteed HEA.

I loved these characters so much! The kids, the chaos, the random surprises. Loved them.
But I wasn’t 100% sold on the conflict/resolution. I love this author’s books but they really Love to make the men just throw out an insane accusation to kick off the third act breakup, and I don’t love That.😬

Single Dad Problems
I may be biased but Rebel Bloom never fails me.
I know what I'm in for... A steamy why choose romance, the funniest side characters, hot dirty mouth men, and an fmc you cannot help but fall head over heels in love with.
Callie Morgan is one of the few fmc I can relate to. It was like opening my brain and reading it in novel form. Cole, Luke and Ben proved that even good guys can be a little stupid but they can also be the best thing that ever happened to you.

Even the first word is a typo and I’m unsure when we were meant to be ‘laughing out loud,’ as the blurb suggests.
That’s something that is usually both an incorrect promotional attempt and a lot of pressure to put on a novel.
I tried to give it some grace and found it to be the quick, burst-of-air-from-your-nose, type of humor.
One time, I said aloud, “That’s funny,” in a voice so monotone that I made myself laugh.
It’s an interesting story. Endearing dynamic.
I love an FMC who is ADHD; their ramblings are always relatable and entertaining.
I could not tell you what a single one of these men looks like beyond their eye color like they’re huskies or something.
We were given quick descriptions, but they’re all so similar, I just made it up as I went.
Wish we’d gotten a description of the events in the beginning to hold us over, as the rest is so slow burn that it hurts.
Then again, I probably wouldn’t have kept reading; the way she describes spice is not an enjoyable experience:
The excessive gerunds make every sentence seem like a new sequence and it was exhausting.
It’s all from the male POV, which I dislike.
We don’t know her thoughts or feelings to utilize as a baseline for genuine enjoyment which makes it feel like it’s being done to her, rather than with her.
Men are easy to please.
Who cares what they think?
Also, we were cursed by hearing the first guy narrate the way his ‘come shot out of [him], jet after jet.’
That’s just not something you wanna hear, even if you’d enjoyed the preceding sequence.
And I did not.
Second guy said, ‘pussy juice.’
When the story built up to the next spice scene, all I felt was dread, but that one luckily wasn’t as bad.
Their dirty talk is just not good.
There’s a mindset, when reading, where we’re aware that a man saying any of this to us in real life would be cringe.
Unfortunately, it was the same on paper.
Then, the author decided to make the FMC interesting about halfway through.
It was a bit deux ex machina, as there had been no hints or insinuations toward that facet of her character, but whatever.
It never comes up again either.
A little after that, the author decided Ben was the funny one.
This had not been previously established or witnessed; literally nothing about him changed beyond the frequent mentions of him apparently being ‘the funny one.’
I disagreed, but whatever.
I guess the author needed to add that in order for him to make his individual point concerning his personal affections for the FMC, but why not go back and integrate it into his identity?
The third act is rough.
Actually, painfully rough.
I cannot stand when men jump to conclusions without giving the woman a moment of grace to explain or care enough to ask what’s happening. That’s not love.
I get that people are flawed, but how can you ever trust someone so quick to think the worst of you?
And they made everyone miserable in doing so, yet had zero inclination to question it.
Men.
There are continuity errors in the big reveal.
Things said or individually accused that the person saying them wouldn’t know about, as they’re direct references to things the guys had shared with only each other.
Later, in the FMC’s POV, she notes that one of the guys was crying again, though she wasn’t there when he had been before.
Their apologies aren’t endearing in this circumstance, as they didn’t seek the information that proved them wrong.
They were fine ruining everyone’s lives.
For what?
It’s just typical.
Where’s that emotional intelligence that we read about fictional men for?
This was too realistic for my liking.
It was the first time I realized the downside to reverse harem – at the end of the day, the many boyfriends are all just a bunch of men in your house.
Of course, there was a big final spice scene.
There always is.
I skimmed it.
They can plan to do all the therapy they want; I wouldn’t trust a single one of them anymore.
What happens the next time?
She’ll keep having someone step up to speak up on her behalf?
Will she hire a liaison?
A translator? Mediator?
A sky writer, even?
This isn’t real, I know, but there was nothing happy about that ending for me.

Hot Mess Express (in a good way)
Looking for a light hearted book to read, and this book was chosen. And I am so glad I did, it had me laughing from the get go! But it also made me cry, get angry, and then right back to happy. If you’re looking for a great read with some spice, then pick this one up, you won’t be disappointed at all!

I really disliked the writing. I really can't picture anyone aside from her kid. And the romance is very insta but in that sort of way where you just don't understand it so you can't just go with the flow.
I am a little bit bothered by the way some themes were handled so I kind of made me hesitant to read more. She loves food so much she let her inner raccoon mow down a man for a cupcake and the was both willing to eat cookies off the ground and follow a strange man into the woods for clean cookies?! Are we against fat people or people who crave sweets? Because the vibe i am getting from this book is fat people are stupid animals who just chase food. Fmc definitely has some disorder going on. ADHD perhaps? Idk i am not an expert. But the whole thing is handled like she is scatter brained and too stupid to live and her 8 year is the mature one of the family. But don't worry the men are here to save her from herself. They see she is a hot mess and for some unknown reason they cannot name, they think her chaos is cute. Are they going to save her from herself? Feels like it. The whole thing is just upsetting me. I cannot see me enjoying this book. Dnf. Not for me.

3.5 for me
I absolutely adored Oliver, he made the book for me honestly.
I think the MMCs didn’t grovel enough for the awful things they said to her. And how they treated her to be honest. It infuriated me. It ruined the book for me.
It’s one thing to have a misunderstanding, but to call her names. Honestly that’s unforgivable imo.

The Perfect Blend of Chaos and Love
I loved this book so much! Rebel Bloom sure knows how to make me laugh until my sides hurt and cry like a baby all within the pages of one book. I love a good single dad romance, and this one had three!
Callie is an unapologetic mess of a woman who teaches second grade. Her clumsiness and scatterbrained energy are something I can relate to on a daily basis. When a single parent retreat becomes the stepping stone to a brand-new chapter in her life, she has no idea it’s about to crash into her full force.
The three sexy single dads she shared one unforgettable night with somehow end up being the parents of three of her students. Cole is the protective ex-military man, Luke is the serious and organized one, and Ben is the funny chef. Each man brings something different that Callie needs, not only for herself but also for her little guy, Ollie.
One of my favorite parts of the story was watching all of the kids become fast friends. It added so much heart to an already incredible romance.
I also loved that when disaster strikes and mistakes are made, these men are willing to own up to their faults, grow from them, and become the partners Callie truly deserves.
I can’t wait to see what Rebel Bloom writes next. Her books always have me laughing out loud, swooning, and completely hooked from beginning to end.

Good book
I didn't know what to think. The mfc goes to a singles retreat and spends a night with three best friends, and has parent night at work sux weeks later to find that the father of three kids was the group of friends.
But the storyline was well fleshed out. But how they handled the smarmy principal happened off screen, and it was a real waste of material, especially as the author showed several instances on how to run dialogue in sketchy situations. If she fleshed out the principals reckoning, it would have been 5 ⭐.

DNF @25%
This seems like it could be a great light summer read but I can't distinguish who the MMCs are. And I couldn't remember whose kid belonged to the men, besides Oliver.
Oliver was great and I would love to see a book for him as an adult lol.
Hopefully the next Rebel Bloom book will have more distinction of the MMCs in it.

Read
July 28, 2026I laughed so much while reading this. The humor was definitely the highlight for me, and the kids absolutely stole every scene they were in. Their unfiltered comments had me cracking up and added so much personality to the story.
The romance was okay, but I never fully connected with it the way I wanted to. It was still a fun, easy read, and the comedy kept me turning the pages even when the romance didn’t quite hit for me.
Overall, if you’re looking for a lighthearted, chaotic romantic comedy with hilarious kids and plenty of laughs, this one is worth picking up.

Did Not Finish
August 23, 2026I tried to get through this, but I couldn’t force myself to. Was this a very rough draft that was accidentally published?
MFC is a mess. Like how can she even function as an adult, mother, and teacher? The harassment from her principal and the school admin assistant is over the top, as is the treatment of her autistic son (who trends on the stereotype side).
It needs some grammar corrections. The final straw was the reference to Charlotte’s Web with the beloved spider’s name spelled Charlette. I thought Santa Claus as Santa Clause was bad enough.
I don’t rate books I dnf. If I did, this would be 1.5-2/5 stars. I also don’t review books I don’t finish, but this needed to be an exception.

TBR Freebie/365: Single Dad Problems
1. Why did I read this?
Rebel Bloom has a special place in my reading journey. She is one of the exceptions to my TBR rules; I can read any new book by her the moment it comes out because she never fails to make me smile with her reverse harem romances.
There is only one other author on this list who gets the same treatment: Susie Tate. Unfortunately, her next book doesn't come out until November.
With Rebel Bloom, I'm always surprised, because I don't really know her schedule. Every four months or so, I'll search her name on Kindle Unlimited and suddenly go, "Gasp! Yay! A new book!" That was exactly what happened this weekend.
2. What was I hoping to get from it?
I really needed a cheesy romance with a conflict that would eventually resolve itself, so I was expecting drama and then some. I already had a feeling this wouldn't be my favorite Rebel Bloom book because I tend to prefer the stories where all of the men start as a united front instead of deciding to be all in together later in the book. So from the description, it didn't seem like this one was going in that direction. That's why this is sitting at a 3. Still, I was ready for the drama and I knew I would enjoy it.
3. Did it give me what I wanted?
Oh boy, did I get the drama I wanted. I loved the main character's energy, although as someone who likes a tidy house, I have to admit that the description of this woman's chaos was driving me a little crazy. At the same time, I completely understand that ADHD can make keeping a house organized incredibly difficult. The distraction problem is very real. Anyway, this story was cute. I liked all of the characters, and I especially enjoyed the outside conflict that kept the plot moving.
If I had one criticism, it would be that I wanted a little more distinction between the male leads. I found myself getting them mixed up from time to time.
4. What does this book tell me about myself as a reader?
This book motivated me to continue reading my TBR again.
I think what that tells me is that, if you're the kind of reader who gets deeply immersed in stories, some books can completely drain your energy. Living in certain fictional worlds takes a lot out of you.
Books like this, though, are different. They're chaotic, funny worlds that let me relax, recharge, and remember why I love reading in the first place.
And now I'm actually excited to dive back into the nonfiction book waiting for me on my TBR.

Okay… I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard only to have read the first few pages. This was HILARIOUS. I was snorting. THAT’S how funny.
First off. I love all of the characters. Callie is an ADHD single mother teacher (enter 🧁). She just so happened to go to a singles vacation over the summer and have a wild night with THREE hot single guys. Everyone thought it was a one and done until they meet her as their child’s teacher. YUP! That’s right, folks. Not only are these three dudes a thirst trap and single. They are dads. 😌 AND best friend.
And theeeeeen, it gets even hotter from there. Like… sizzling inferno, HOT 🥵 🔥🔥🔥
But not only was this book hilarious and spicy as hell. It had some beautiful pieces.
Each person had a trauma of their own. Navy seal, cheater, and drugged up baby momma drama. And then there’s Callie with her own trauma of being walked out on before her child was even one years old. Add in the sexual harasser boss and you’ve hit the trifecta. Not to mention, she has a high functioning, genius, autistic son. LOTS of trauma.
This book touches on these beautifully. And painted adhd and autism in a light that was wonderfully written.
The yearning was spot on. The added dramatic effects of the sexual harasser, the past experiences, financial woes, loss of employment, and pregnancy just added the right amount of turmoil.
I loved Tess and Vaughn. My favorite character was by far, Oliver. Overall, this was a fun, spicy, and wild ride of a story. I absolutely loved it.
The only thing that got annoying after a while was the grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. As a teacher (ahem), these were profoundly overlooked in editing and should probably be fixed
The story, however was a good ride. ❤️
Best quote that I felt in my soul:
“I had gotten so good at taking care of everyone else that people stopped asking if I needed help. Then I stopped asking. Somewhere in all those years I decided that being needed was the same thing as being loved, and that my worth was whatever I could carry without dropping it. Nobody had ever offered to carry me.”

The yearning was spot on. The added dramatic effects of the sexual harasser, the past experiences, financial woes, loss of employment, and pregnancy just added the right amount of turmoil.
I loved Tess and Vaughn. My favorite character was by far, Oliver. Overall, this was a fun, spicy, and wild ride of a story. I absolutely loved it.
The only thing that got annoying after a while was the grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. As a teacher (ahem), these were profoundly overlooked in editing and should probably be fixed
The story, however was a good ride. ❤️
Best quote that I felt in my soul:
“I had gotten so good at taking care of everyone else that people stopped asking if I needed help. Then I stopped asking. Somewhere in all those years I decided that being needed was the same thing as being loved, and that my worth was whatever I could carry without dropping it. Nobody had ever offered to carry me.”

This was a cute read. It was a nice read that’s had a sweet storyline like a palette cleanser. The FMC was rather different from what I usually gravitate towards but I liked Callie and especially her relationship with her son, Oliver. It was def an interesting mix, I can’t say I have much experienced with ADHD or autism but I think this book portrayed both very well, at least how living with it can be for some people because ik not everyone who is diagnosed is the same but I thought it was very well done.
I really did like Oliver, that kid genuinely made me lol bc he was just so straightforward and blunt, it was beautiful. And I will say it felt as if each character was pretty distinct in their own way, esp the kids and Tessa. I love that woman as well, she’s a top tier bestfriend without a doubt and her husband, Vaughn is good solid dude fs.
I will say I felt like the pacing of stuff was a bit random, like the FMC, Callie and her men: Luke, Cole, and Ben all met at a singles retreat thing and then once again where she teaches. I get all that but it’s like one minute she’s staying away from them, then telling herself only one time with each (just trying them out, a test drive), then they’re her boyfriends, then they’re lying to her and fighting over her, then they’re making assumptions based on their own insecurities and breaking her heart, and then they’re bringing down the douche of a principal and his bitch secretary, and then boom they’re apologizing and love her. I just didn’t feel like enough of those moments had a good build up to be what they needed, like it could’ve been stronger. Plus the assumption thing always annoys me just like miscommunication does. However, I’m always a sucker for an HEA so I can’t be too mad at it and I did love her relationship with each of them before that.
So overall I’d say it was a pretty good book and I’d def say give it a try.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 Stars) — A hilarious, heartwarming reverse harem with fantastic ADHD and Autism rep! 🍎📚
Rebel Bloom is one of my absolute favorite authors for contemporary reverse harem! There's just something about her writing style and her characters that I absolutely love. I'm to the point where I hardly ever even read the blurbs for her new releases—I just automatically buy them! 🛍️✨
This one is hands down one of my favorites I've read of hers! Granted, I didn't feel like we got to know the men very well, but honestly, the book was so enjoyable that it didn't even bother me! 🤷♀️
We meet Cassie, our FMC, and learn she is a second-grade teacher. On the first day of school, she walks into the classroom to meet the parents and sees the three guys she had a wild one-night stand with a month or so back. Turns out, they each have a kid in her class! 😳🏫
We also learn Cassie has severe ADHD. She's messy, unorganized, bubbly, very scatterbrained, and clumsy. 🌪️ But she is such a good teacher and an incredible mother. She is so fiercely caring! She has a son, Oliver, who is autistic. Honestly, I could have read a whole book just about Cassie and Oliver! 🥰 They were so chaotic, funny, and sweet together, and Oliver easily delivered some of the best lines in the whole book! 🎤⬇️
As with all of Rebel Bloom's books, there was a third-act breakup due to miscommunication and misunderstandings. Usually, that trope really annoys me, but again, the book was just so entertaining that I didn't mind it at all. I do wish we had gotten a bit more groveling from the guys, though! 🙄🧎♂️
Along with a good amount of spice, there was also a massive amount of heart in this one. 🌶️❤️ Between Cassie and the guys, Cassie and Oliver, and watching Oliver make friends who truly understood and accepted him, there were so many moments that had me shedding a tear. 🥹
An easy 5 stars, of course! I will be ready and waiting to read as soon as Rebel releases her next book!! 📖🏃♀️💨

This book was bad. There were a few quips here and there that I found passably funny which is the main reason this isn't just 1 star. FMC's whole personality is that she is just oh-so-chaotic but in such a totally endearing way and also she likes dessert. Her son is Autistic and very bright and super adorable and also has to somewhat parent his mother which I don't find cute.
The MMCs are "Hello I am a single dad & hot & one other personality trait" x 3. One likes organization. One cooks/owns a restaurant. The other one does something? Otherwise, they are 3 men who are the same. Apparently their kids' mothers are all at least somewhat shitty but somehow these men wander around without their kids a fair amount of the time.
The antagonists are cartoon-level evil and I cannot believe no one told RB that. There is a principal who regularly sexually harasses FMC and also publicly insults her in front of parents. There are parents who also obscenely insult her during various meetings around a school play. There is a school secretary who actually drags FMC's son around by the collar of his shirt, MORE THAN ONCE, and also calls him a brat (in front of other parents) and tells him she doesn't think he can read (he's like 8 or 9). It was all so ridiculous I was more angry at the author for making it out like it was such a difficult problem that was so nuanced and not easy to solve. Bc like, this is abuse. Full stop. There is no nuance here.
For example! Bc I'm in full on rant-mode at this point.
Evil principal shows up at her HOME on a SATURDAY MORNING, shoves his way inside, uninvited, insults the messiness of her home then tells her she has been so lackluster at work he felt he needed to come by and see if she is seeing someone new. He goes on to say "You are seeing someone, aren't you? He must be a real loser if you're living in this pigsty. I can't have my teachers turning to bad men. Next comes {wait for it} drinking in the classroom and stripping on the weekends for beer money." He then tells her luckily for her he's a "hands-on principal" while holding a pair of her panties that he picked up off the floor (sure, totally normal thing for someone to do). Before leaving he tells her to get her "shit together" and "find a real man to keep you in line." Bc he'd hate for her to "wake up one day, old, ugly & alone."
After this interaction here is the FMC's POV. "I leaned there, hand over my heart, and tried to tell myself that I had no reason to be as freaked out as I was. He hadn't said anything I could file a complaint over, not without seeming like I was splitting hairs. He knew how to toe the line of inappropriateness."
This has to be a spoof right? This can't be serious right? If it's a spoof then my hat is off to you RB bc it's a masterpiece. But I don't think it is? I think I'm supposed to be like, yeah gosh FMC, you're in a real pickle now. A true conundrum. Maybe this book is a social experiment.

A fun lighthearted why choose read.
Cassie as an FMC was an adorable mess- her forgetfulness, sloppiness, and general mayhem that surrounds her was endearing, especially when you notice the big heart underneath.
I loved the neurodivergent representation of this book- She has ADHD and her son has Autism. I felt like the author portrayed it realistically, but also positively- showing that both Cassie and Oliver have challenges, but they are also intelligence, thoughtful, kind, and can do pretty amazing things. Oliver's honesty in key moments was well done!
The MCs were all really good guys, single dads who care a lot about their kids. I would've loved to get just a little more of their backstories. It is multi POV, but we spend most of the time in Cassie's POV. Loved that one of them talked very openly and positively about utilizing therapy.
The villain was a creep, but well written. Unfortunately, there are too many out there like him.
Tessa, the BFF- every girl needs a ride-or-die, and I kind of want her to be mine. Loved loved loved her confrontation with the guys, and her unique, creative quips.
I also would have really loved to see the initial spicy scene, the one-night stand that this starts off as. The other scenes were good, but that would've been the icing on the cake.
If you're looking to dive into why choose books, this one is lighthearted with green flag guys, and is a great place to start!

Hey Rebel, just admit you hate fat people instead of putting fat shaming as the CENTER THEME of your book, where the FMC literally prefers food to ANYTHING else and goes feral if others even look at her food.
"The icing was towered so high that I couldn’t wait to lick it like an ice cream cone. I was so focused on getting my cupcake that I didn’t see the man stepping into my path until it was too late. I plowed into what felt like a brick wall warmed in the sun but instead of stopping to catch my breath or apologize, my brain told me that he was going for the cupcake, too. The feral raccoon living inside me demanded that I beat him to my sweet temptation and I found myself pushing him out of the way and basically diving for the table. I grabbed the cupcake and shoved the top of it into my mouth while pumping my fist in the air to show my victory."
"I stuck to the shadows and I was almost back to my room when that deep, rumbling voice from earlier scared me so badly that I flung my cookies at him. I was immediately regretful and knelt down to pick them up. “Damn. Five second rule, right?” Big hands grabbed me under my arms and hauled me back up. “Don’t eat the damn cookies off the ground, cupcake. We can get you more cookies.” “Chocolate chunk?” I scowled up at him and ended up resting my hands on his chest."
These two instances, of which there are many, show up within the first 3 chapters, and the theme continues throughout the book.

Single Dad Problems by Rebel Bloom is the third book I've read by this author and I am quickly becoming a fan. For me it certainly delivered on a laugh out loud rom-com reverse harem story, but as a contemporary romance, it also covered some realistic scenarios that completely drew me in and had me invested in Callie and her messy, chaotic life.
Callie, a second grade teacher with ADHD and hidden depths, is also a single mum to Oliver, a highly intelligent boy with autism. She loves her son, loves her job and her best friend Tessa, but has been on her own for years and at a single parent retreat she has a wild night with three best friends and single parents themselves, Cole, Ben and Luke.
Weeks later at the beginning of the new school year she discovers that these three men are also parents to children in her class and from there all sorts of chaos, amusement, romance, steamy moments and drama unfold as all three men who haven't been able to forget their Cupcake, pursue Callie despite a non fraternisation policy. Add in a creepy boss, the principal of Callie's school, a nasty school administrator and Cole, Luke, and Ben's children, and it's a story that provides an emotional rollercoaster of a read.
This was a fun, heart-warming, found family why-choose read that had me hooked from the start and I am looking forward to picking up another Rebel Bloom book soon.

Review of advance copy
An interesting read that started with a rather humorous meet cute, where Callie got her nickname of Cupcake. Callie had ADHD, so she had a tendency to misplace things and be unorganized. She was a beautiful woman, a good teacher, and mother to her autistic son, Ollie (Oliver). At a weekend single retreat she met three gorgeous men Ben, Cole, and Luke, where they agreed to one night with the four of them, and they would never see each other again. Except, the first day of school at the parents meeting she could not believe setting on the front row were all three of her gorgeous guys. How was she going to handle this? The Principle was already giving her problems. She was assigned the school winter play, because she refused to play the Principle's game. He wanted her to go out with him and she kept refusing. The tension built through out the book as Callie received additional pressure from her guys and the Principle. Her contract would not allow her to openly date parents of her students. Thank goodness for her best friend Tessa, whom sometimes would as they say took the "bull by the horns" and got things done. To me she was the true heroine of the story.

Always a go-to author when I want a crazy, fun, but sometimes emotional time.
Callie goes to a single parent retreat, and somehow has a crazy night at a lake with 3 hotties. Fast forward to parent night at the school she is a teacher at, and when she turns around the 3 hotties are sitting in the front row. SURPRISE! lol. Callie is trying to navigate this unexpected situation while dodging inappropriate advances by her slimy boss, Darren, and his flying henchman secretary, Karla. Karla should probably not work at a school since it seems pretty obvious she hates them.
One of my favorite things about this book was the relationship Ollie (Callie's son) starts to have with the guy's kids (Emma, Beth, and Noah). Ollie had never really fit in with other kids before, so seeing him form a bond with kids his own age made my heart so happy.
The 3rd act conflict was dumb, but you knew it was coming. It's always coming. The guys were dumb, as always, and jumped to conclusions. The groveling happens somewhat quickly.
There were a few grammatical issues in the story, but my brain usually fills in the correct word when I am reading. I only mention it because I know it really bothers some people, and pulls them out of a story.

2.75 rounded up
I think I'm in a book slump and I was *really* hoping her next book would be Blaire's story from Hate the Game so that might have played into me not liking this one as much.
There were so many other similarities to her other books it was distracting, especially in the beginning. Single parent, hateful principal, one random night originally were all also in Single Dads Club and single parent retreat was in Accidental Daddies. These story lines felt too similar.
I honestly didn't feel like we got to know the characters very well in this book. Normally Rebel Bloom books have really developed and individual characters for RHs, but this one fell flat for me. It felt like each guy had one big characteristic and that was basically it. It did broach a little into their backstories but it was really just one conversation with each guy. Callie was also not it for me as a FMC.
I look forward to the next Rebel Bloom book because she is an autobuy author for me, this is just one I won't reread. Please give us Blaire's story!

What I enjoyed the most was that the relationship-building phase was one-on-one—the guys had the opportunity to really get to know the main heroine individually before showing their dynamic collectively.

As usual I enjoyed Rebel Blooms story and witty banter and plot. I enjoyed Callie's Oliver her son and his mannerisms the most. All the children really added to the story and it is too bad Rebel did not expand on that theme more. Emma who was maybe ADHD but Luke and her only spoke once about it. Later she is portrayed as a little girl with a head stuck in a book in a restaurant does not compute. The ending was so rushed with NO real answers. Three men all who had homes and yet they all lived in the same school district and in the end it seemed as if they all ended living in her renovated home. Please not even close to reality -- a 11 pound 4 month old also not realistic -- three men go off on the women they are suppose to love and don't follow up. There were too many points off -- now the one really cute thing was she was a bad ass marksman and yet author failed to expand that story. Too many missed opportunities by the author to make this a 5 star story.

Reverse Harem - Yes Please!
Talk about a meet-cute!!
Callie attends a singles retreat and finds herself taking a liking to not one, not two, but three hot, single dads. When offered to hang out by a lake one evening she learns that the men are best friends and they all want a ride on the Callie-Coaster 😉. And who can turn down a one-night stand with 3 hotties they’ll never see again???!
Jokes on Callie though, because orientation/meet-the-teacher has begun for her 2nd grade class and guess who is sitting front and center - none other than all three of the hot dads from the retreat.
Things become very interesting in this book. TW: there is some workplace harassment Callie is on the receiving end of but no SA.
I suffer from secondhand embarrassment so a lot of this book gave me a bit of anxiety but I did truly enjoy it all. There is a third act breakup, but we do get an HEA. Some good spicy scenes for you to enjoy as well!!
5.0🌟

Best book I’ve read in a long time!
Just read chapters 36 and 37. Whew! I need a Luke in my life. And a Ben. And a Cole. If only society would be more accepting of a relationship like this in real life.
This was such a funny story that made me laugh out loud the whole way through. I can really relate to Callie. Her antics are so real. I’m only disappointed that I haven’t heard the details of their weekend together yet!
Ok, now that I’ve finished the book, I’ve gotten some details on their single parent weekend, but I need more. Please tell me there’s a novella somewhere that is a prequel to this book!
I saw in another review that someone said they didn’t like the ending, and that’s fine; to each their own. Personally, I don’t know why in the world anyone wouldn’t like that ending. It would be a dream come true for me! The only thing that would make that ending better was if the guys had an awakening at that cabin… just an idea for the next book, if you’re reading this, Rebel. ;)

Single Dad Problems was such a fun, heartwarming read! I was completely invested from start to finish. Charlie is wonderfully chaotic, a little messy, and overflowing with love, which made her incredibly easy to connect with.
What really made this story shine was the dynamic between Charlie and the men. Each one brought a distinct personality to the group, creating hilarious banter, great chemistry, and plenty of memorable moments. And the kids absolutely stole the show. Oliver, in particular, was perfectly imperfect and added so much heart, humor, and authenticity to the story.
I would have loved to see a bit more groveling before everything was resolved, but that small wish did not take away from how much I enjoyed the journey. The ending left me smiling, and this was another entertaining, feel good romance that was easy to fall in love with.

What an absolutely fantastic story. I laughed so much in this story. It was totally hilarious. Callie is a single mum, but also a second grade teacher, her best friend Tessa convinced her to go away for a week for a singles mixer, where she meets three men who rock her socks off. Fast forward to school time and they’re sitting in the front row are all three men. It’s forbidden for her to associate with parents of children that she teaches, but these three men have something that she just can’t resist, and they absolutely break all the rules. There are moments of misunderstandings, but I thank goodness for high emotions that can’t be resisted. it was a great story where all four families come together as one and a happily ever after.
