Harlow’s starlet daughter is about to make an announcement that will change his life. The decision? It’s going to send him on a collision course with love…


Loyal, kindhearted, and a family man to the core, former-SEAL-turned-bodyguard Harlow isn’t prepared to have love smash face-first into his fist after one of the worst days of his life… or to have it arrive in such a cute package. For seven lonely years following the loss of his husband, he’s been too wrapped up in raising his teenage daughter to think about a relationship. His responsibility is tied to his family, not someone young enough to be his son…


Isn’t it?


Shy, sensible Simon is presented with a difficult choice when he comes face to face with the man of his wet dreams. The decision? It’s about to heat things up between his sheets, big time.


Computer whiz, adorable geek, and secret fetishist Simon is trapped in a life he wishes he could escape, made better only by risqué dreams of a man he can never have—his way-too-hot employer, Harlow. But when a series of events leaves him sharing a roof with Harlow unexpectedly, clinging to reality isn’t the only thing getting hard.


Fantasies aren’t meant to be real, but the way Harlow looks at him, speaks to him, and touches him is electric… chemistry like that can’t be imagined, can it?


Bound by obligation to their families while their hearts yearn for each other, Harlow and Simon must make a choice—indulge shamelessly in what they’ve found together without regard for the future, or make the decision to do what’s right for their families, and leave love behind.


The Decision is a 115,000 word contemporary omegaverse novel featuring a quirky group of single dads, hot 18D action, absolutely filthy air mattress encounters, and two very different men who find exactly what they need in each other.

Well if the very first few lines of this book, don’t suck you in and make you want to keep reading I don’t know what will.

Simon is a dirty, dirty boy with an even dirtier mouth.

I do have to admit though that even after reading the first few books in this series I felt totally lost with the first like 15-20% of this book. I felt like I had no clue what was going on or who these people were. Harlow was mysterious and I had no clue who his daughter was at first either, that was a cool little twist. It took me longer to make the connection between Harlow and @LoveHarley than I would like to admit as well.. But as the story progressed I got more into it and ended up really liking this book as much as I did the first few. Simon is super cute, geeky, clumsy and totally adorable. This was such a long book though that I kind of wish there was more sexual interaction between the two main characters. They had a lot of dialogue and chemistry and every scene with them was super hot so I would have liked to see more on page action from them. It was nice that they knew each other for some time through phone and long distance contact that they had already built a smaller scale relationship before they even met and that just made them bond so much quicker once they were in direct contact with each other. It was like instant love, but not. The story line for this book was interesting and held my attention, and the plot worked out really well through the entire book and there were a few twists that I would have never guessed ahead of time. I also liked getting to see all the Single dads interacting and how they totally included Jayne in their group. I was fun to see him join and just fit right in with everyone. I really cannot wait for Jayne's book now too. I’m sure it will be epic and awesome just like his personality.

I am not completely sure why but I really enjoyed this book! Even with sort of insta-love, it had a lot of feeling. Simon was a sweetheart and Harlow was a gentle alpha. Jayne was a bit of a self-involved jerk in the beginning but he certainly redeemed himself. It was a little disjointed in areas but not enough to throw me off. Some of it didn't make a lot of sense like how Justin found out where they were. Anyway, on to the next book!

Even though this story was about Harlow and Simon, Knot took the cake 🎂 during the SDSG group chats. I know Piper said Jayne's story is next will Knot be his Alpha to his Omega??? If so I'm going to be looking forward to that one.

Great story expect Harlow punching 👊 Simon in the face the first time they meet. All in all great book 4.

The beginning for when the action happened was very entertaining, I do wish that we got to see more of Simons job… being a hacker or helping with cyber security/ working for Harlow I was expecting more of that…

Also from all of these book their declarations of love comes waaaay too soon in the pace of their relationship…

I did like the sass of Shep.. haha especially at the end.

Unsure if I will continue with the series, but for some reason this series literally pulls me in and keeps me reading without stopping haha Most likely because of Michael Ferraiuolo haha

This is the fourth book, but as its the first I’ve read, it can easily stand alone.

Harlow is the fourth member of the SDSG to find love. He’s raising a teenaged daughter who just happens to be the star on a hit TV series. When she goes missing from a Comic Con convention, he asks Simon, a tech wizard he occasionally works with to help track her down.

They don’t expect to find her in Simon’s apartment and that to keep her safe and happy, they’d be temporary roommates.

The bulk of the book takes place over a few days’ time, but it’s enough for the two to make a love connection. Since they live in separate states, when it’s time for Harlow to go home, they need to decide how to continue the relationship.

I generally enjoyed this, and was inspired to go back and read the two previous books. I do like that the previous couples make an appearance. My only complaint is that aside from the city name, I’m not really sure where it takes place. Also, although it’s set in an omega verse world, the only baby we meet is Simon’s nephew, whose dad was a minor character in book 3, and who is most likely the love interest for the final Single Dad.

I liked this. One of the better ones in this series. But - there’s an unfortunate but - maybe it’s just me. While I liked it, and while it was better than the previous ones, and while I like Simon and Harlow and especially Jayne, I wasn’t completely sucked into the story. I am looking forward to Jayne’s story though. I have a feeling he ends up with KnotMyProblem! Now that, I’m excited about 😬

This was so good! This series is consistently good and I've enjoyed each book in this series, to varying degrees, but all pretty damn solid.

There is no mpreg in this but this is a world with mpreg so Harlow, one of the MC's has a daughter he had with his late husband (biologically) and Simon, the other MC, has a brother who has a newborn that he carried himself. So, no mpreg in that Simon, the omega, doesn't get pregnant (yet, at least) but this a universe with mpreg.

Anyway, this was a fun an enjoyable read and I adored Harlow and Simon together. It was a tad fast and not at the same time - they knew each other for three years, but only over the phone as Simon worked for Harlow remotely as he's a hacking, tech genius, but then when they meet face to face for the first time, they know each other for a little over a week before they're in love - although Simon was kind of already in love with Harlow (although mostly with a fantasy so I don't know if that counts.)

Simon was sweet and adorable and I adored Harlow as well, and the secondary characters were intriguing as well, with an interesting plot.

I actually wanted more at the end, with these two .

I continue to be annoyed that the SDSG calls each other by their usernames in real life, thinking it and saying it out loud. They know each other's real names now, I don't get why the call each other by their usernames in real life. It's just weird. And also lends a feeling of distance between these guys who are supposed to be best friends now and call each other family. Okay, so why do they call each other xV, Knot, TD, and Harley in person? It's annoying and strange to me.

Other than that, I just which that epilogue had been longer and maybe in the future a little to see these two together for more than like two weeks .

But overall I enjoyed this and can't wait for Jayne's story! Wonder who his LI will be...

First off, I need to go back and read the other books in this series as I want to learn about the other guys in the group. This book can be read as a stand-alone in my opinion as I didn’t feel lost and we really don’t see the other guys, just chats in the forum. I love the nod to the characters from Firefly. I didn’t catch on at first. Okay Harlow’s daughter decides to change her path in life and give up acting. What I didn’t understand is why she didn’t confide in her father, they are pretty close, but just takes off. Then again Harlow doesn’t really act like a father and puts his foot down and makes rules. But he does love his daughter and backs her up in whatever she does. Simon, sweet sweet Simon. I loved him so much. I just wanted to give him a big hug and tell him that he is worthy of love. Now Simon has worked with Harlow off and on for several years but Harlow has never meet Simon. Simon most definitely knows who Harlow is and has been crushing on him for years. Their first encounter is kind of rough, based on a serious misunderstanding. Harlow and Evie end up staying with the brothers and during that time, Harlow and Simon fall for each other. It’s not insta-love perse, but it was pretty quick. They end up making a great couple and I can’t wait to see them settle down and create a family together. I’m not leaving Evie out, but she is 16 and will forging her own life soon. I highly recommend this book. I can’t wait for the next book as it is Jayne’s story and I’m thinking that Knot, not his real name, may be his love interest, but you never know.

This installment of the series bored me tears. I skipped pages of thoughts and useless commentary.
Lots of dirty talk and steamy times but it was not my cuppa.
Maybe the next one is better.

I loved Simon and Harlow! They're definitely an opposite attract gone well, right from the start! And Simon is soooo adorable I wanted to wrap him and put in my pocket so nothing will ever make him hurt or sad. And Harlow did a good job with that one. Err...not at first though :)
Go check this series, I recommend you to read this series in order to get to know all of the singe dads.
Now about Knot...😁

This book made me happy

I think that Harlow and Simon are now my favorite couple in this series. It was so fun to see how they came from completely different situations and yet were so similar in the things that really count - especially loyalty to family. I was glad that all of the Single Dads were able to be a part of their HEA.

Loved it

This is by far my favorite of the series so far. Absolutely loved Harlow and Simon. Also liked their male shift family. Everyone differences allowed them to mesh well together. Loved Harlow's protective instincts. Really like all the guys in the chat and the fact that Jayne joined and blended well. Looking forward to the next one!

This review and much more can be found at the Love Byte Reviews

Note: This is the third book in this series and as such contains spoilers for the first two books. It can be read as a standalone, but is probably more enjoyable if read in order to gain full understanding of the context for this couple’s story.

At the beginning of this story, Vincent decides to join the rest of the single dads from his Single Dad Support Group chat group at the wedding of one of their members – who will now no longer be a single dad 🙂 But he’s still a dad and they group is excited to be there for him. A friend of the other groom, Mal is another guest at the wedding. He’s an older omega who wants to be a dad so badly now that he’s in a secure place in his life. He’s taken care of a lot of other people’s children over the years, but he yearns for his own. With his IVF treatments, he’s gone into heat unexpected and although he took his blockers, he’s still feeling the effects. When Vincent discovers him, he offers to help him out 🙂

As the wedding party comes to an end, Vincent follows Mal since he really enjoyed his time with him and would love to spend the night with him helping him with his heat 😉 He has given Mal his card, which is more than he ever does with his hook ups. He’s also up front with Mal about his ability to father a child that Mal has shared he really wants. But they head off into the night together and have a great time – although Mal does kind of sneak off before morning.

Fast forward a couple of months and Mal’s latest IVF doesn’t work. His last resort is a trial run by a local pharmaceutical company that he manages to get in. But imagine his surprise when one of the doctors is the alpha he spent the night with after his friends wedding. They both play it cool like they are just meeting. Vincent’s last name is different to what he provided to Mal and there’s a story there, but Mal doesn’t have a clue what it is. When they meet after the visit – totally against protocol and policy – Vincent shares his truth with Mal as to why he can’t father a child even though he already has a daughter it’s something completely unexpected for Mal. But he doesn’t care – he’s comfortable with and attracted to Vincent who seems to be able to give him everything else he needs. And if the trial goes well, then he’ll had a hand in giving him the thing he most desires as well – a child.

Meanwhile, one of the other doctors is suspicious about Mal and Vincent. They both have pretty much everything to lose if their connection is discovered – at least until Vincent’s part of the process is over. Both want to continue to build on their relationship. Vincent introduces his daughter Nicki to Mal. Mal and Nicki take to each other immediately and Vincent couldn’t be more thrilled. For his part, he’s found someone who accepts him – all of him – with the added bonus of caring for his child 🙂 Both Mal and Vincent have found something they both thought to either be elusive or nonexistent in their futures.

I really liked this story in this universe. Mal has been through a lot. But he’s finally in a good place and he wants to share his future with a child – something he thought he’d never get to experience. The fact that Vincent is the one to help him realize that dream is a HUGE bonus. He’s attracted to Vincent and he feels safe with Vincent – as Vincent does with him. Vincent has his own reasons for wanting a fresh start in a new life in a new city with his daughter. I LOVED the way the author explained Vincent’s situation and I adored how Mal reacted to Vincent’s revelation. Just so sweet. I was so happy for Mall to get his own HEA – in all things – particularly after he’d suffered so much in the past. Vincent is such a good guy and really wants to care for Mal and make a life together. They were just perfect together. As usual Michael Ferraiuolo is stellar in his narration. The many and varied voice were spot on for this cast of characters. The Single Dads alone are a challenge, but then add in the secondary characters and its a lot – but he’s up to the task. I really like this little world this author has created. This group of friends is entertaining and supportive and just a lot of fun to watch change and grow over the series. Definitely recommended and I’m on to the next book!

Independent reviewer for Gay Romance Reviews, I was gifted the audio file of this book.

This is book 4 in the Single Dads Support Group series. Its not NECESSARY to read/listen to the other 3, but it would help a great deal. Much of Harlow's life is a secret and you need to know what the other guys know, or don't know, as the case may be. Also, they are all 4 and 5 stars from me. (Book 2 doesn't quite hit 5 stars)

Harlow's teenage daughter disappears and he is distraught. He calls upon Simon, the computer wizard he works with, to find her. When Harlow comes face to face with the person keeping his daughter from him, he lashes out, and it takes a single sound to bring him round, to actually listen to what's happening to Evie. The fact that Harlow breaks his nose when they first meet should have put Simon off, but since H has been the feature of his fantasies for so long, the punch just shows Simon how strong H is and how he can give Simon what he really wants: Harlow himself.

So, book 3 I said was my favourite of the first three. NOW? This book is my favourite!

Simon and H have worked together, remotely, for 3 years and Simon has lusted after H for as long. Finding him on his doorstep, looking for Evie was a shock, but when Evie says she is staying with Simon's younger brother, H decides he is staying too. And Simon has his fantasy sleeping right there on the couch. Things move quickly for Simon and H, VERY quickly. The whole book takes place over one short week, while Evie decides what she really wants to do. And it's right and proper that these guys move at this speed, given what happens to Simon here. Harlow is no stranger to lost loves, and when he falls, he falls fast and hard. He tells Simon this. But when Evie decides she wants to go home, to Hollywood, Simon can't go. His brothers need him.

Enter big brother Jayne, and his inclusion into the Single Dads Support Group. Jayne and the other dads move mountains for Simon and Harlow. And I loved that they did.

It's sexy hawt, but mostly because Simon and H are in the living room and *trying* to be quiet. Not succeeding though!

It's deeply emotional, I thought. H is very philosophical about things, about his daughter, about his dead husband, about the single dads too. But mostly about Simon. That first time they meet, when H breaks Simon's nose, even when H thought his daughter was in danger, he noted the beauty in the kid, his eyes, his body. And H knows very quickly that Simon really is his, and will be, however long it takes to get them Happy Ever After.

All the the other single dads take part, even if Knot is in New York and everyone else is in Aurora (apologises if that's not how you spell it, I've only HEARD it, not seen it written down) and I loved that they do.

Mr Michael Ferraiuolo continues to narrate this series, and I am struggling to find new ways to say I bloody love his narration of these books! All the character's voices are consistent throughout the series, and I have no trouble keeping up with everyone when their are multi person conversations. The group chats are still hilarious, and Ferraiuolo gets over all the guys personalities across all the books.

I look forward to continuing with this series, I want ALL the guys to get their Happy Ever After, and Knot is the one I'm waiting for. But HIS story is the last one!

5 stars for the book
5 stars for the narration
5 stars overall

We start the first chapter off with breath play, breeding kink, and daddy kink. So needless to say, I was nervous about this book. All the books in this series have some sort of kink to them, most of the couples have huge age gaps so its typically some variation of daddy kink (which makes me uncomfortable), or breeding kink (which doesn't...at all). And, after that initial fantasy sequence, the book left out all the uncomfortable parts of daddy kink and incorporated all the best parts of breeding kink. I liked the characters a lot, they are both in the top of my favorites for the series. I liked Simon's quiet strength, and his bumbling awkwardness. And I liked how protective Harlow was while not being overbearing or a dick about it. I thought they worked together, especially given that Harlow had a type and that type was nerdy.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

I will say I called early on the thing with Shep and Evie. Though, given the track record of this series, I assumed she would end up pregnant. Thank god I was wrong about that. I wasn't too big of a fan of how these 16 year olds were treated. At 16 years old you are still a child. Harlow gave Evie waaaay too much leeway for my tastes.

The plot in general though required me to turn my brain off. If I started to think too hard about the logic behind it, the whole thing fell apart. The whole "Harlow and Evie are staying in these virtual stranger's apartment uninvited for a whole week because....reasons?" I didn't understand it, and so long as I didn't make an effort to I enjoyed the book. Otherwise, I liked it. I even was okay with Harlow punching Simon in the face when he thought Simon was Evie's kidnapper. I was okay with the way Simon's life was threatened. And, as always, Knot was great in the chat. I sincerely hope he is the Alpha in Jayne's story. Because that would be amazing if Knot and Harley ended up as brothers-in-law.

Either way, these books keep getting better. Can't wait to read the next one.

Audiobook review:
Performance – 5
Story – 5
Overall – 5

Another fantastic book in the Single Dad Support Group.

I love this series so much. As much as I might want to, I haven't read the books in this series. That's because I really, really wanted to listen to Michael Ferraiuolo's performance of the audiobooks. He has yet to disappoint me and The Decision was no exception.

The story is a very touching one. It's all about family and taking care of them even when you would much rather be doing something else. Still a teenager, Simon stepped up to help his family after his parents were killed. Several years later he is still taking care of them even though it means sacrificing his own happiness.

Harlow is also devoted to his family. After his husband died suddenly, all he has left is his daughter. She is a TV star and he protects her where ever she goes. She makes a decision that will bring Harlow and Simon face-to-face and boy do they have chemistry! Mild mannered Simon is a total tiger in bed. He knows what he wants and he wants Simon to give it to him. HOT!!

This story had me hanging on every word. There is action and romance and sadness and happiness all rolled into a wonderful story that provided me with many hours of listening pleasure over the last couple of days. I love books that bring out my emotions and The Decision did that more than once.

While this is the fourth book in the series, I think you could probably read/listen to it without reading the first three books first. You'll miss the background of the other members of the Single Dad Support Group (they do a lot of online chatting in each of the books) but there's enough information that you shouldn't be too confused. However, for best enjoyment I recommend reading the books in order.

A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.

From the get-go, The Decision has the same terrific tone as the prior books in the series by Piper Scott.

Simon and Harlow! They are everything I was hoping they would be.

Simon, who's been lusting after Harlow for a while, is suddenly a target of that same Harlow. Why? Well, when Harlow's daughter disappeared, she went to Simon's son and is now hiding in Simon's house.

No one knew that Simon worked for Harlow, or what Simon did for a living. So, now he's struggling as his worlds are colliding, and he will actually come face to face with Harlow for the first time. And that's just the beginning.

This story contains so many different plots and layers - an actress who's unhappy with her life, a vengeful co-worker, a scary ex, young love, a romance between boss and employee, heartache, and more.

Simon and Harlow's romance is gripping, emotional, raw, gritty, and absolutely marvelous! They have both been living for others, with Simon giving up his life to care for his siblings and nephew, and Harlow spending all his energy protecting his daughter as he's afraid to love again. But, together, they can start to live for themselves.

And of course we get more of the fabulous guys from the Single Dad's Support Group. They are all as funny, supportive, and inspiring as always. They truly have all become family for each other.

This series, and this 4th installment, The Decision, are completely captivating. I love all the single dads, their stories, and all the babies. If you don't read mpreg, please note that these books are so much more than mpreg. Honestly, the stories are so well developed, with so much of the content reading as if it's just a regular contemporary. Sometimes I forget that they even are mpreg. So please don't let that turn you off. Piper Scott has a hit on her hands!

Loving this series (an audio review)

I love this series by Piper Scott, and was thrilled to see it come to audio. I’m a huge Michael Ferraiuolo fan so each book is a delight. The Single Dad Support Group is this group of men who met online and who support each other. Hence the name. But there’s plenty of snark and joy and other stuff as well. Heck, they’ve even managed to meet in person.

Harlow is single dad to his celebrity daughter Evie. Evie is a great kid right up until the moment things go sideways and Harlow is forced to face things he hasn’t to this point. He’s been raising Evie since the death of his husband, and his entire world revolves around his daughter. He’s even become a bodyguard to protect her. A way to put all that SEAL training to work, I suppose.

In the past he’s hired a contractor to do his computer work – some of it legal, some not so much. He’s never given Simon much thought, until they encounter each other, literally.

Simon has had a crush on Harlow for freaking ever, but he doesn’t expect the meeting to start out as a confrontation. But things settle – somewhat – and the men find themselves sharing a tiny apartment and an air mattress. And, well, things get interesting from there.

I liked the dynamics in this book. Simon may be young, but he’s been holding together his family since the tragic loss of his parents. He has two brothers he loves, but who would be lost without him. He has a nephew he adores, but who also relies on him. His life is truly entrenched in Aurora while Harlow’s is in Hollywood. So how will they ever make it work?

Finally, I liked how Simon’s brother Jayne wound up joining the Single Dad Support Group. That means more books! I’m off to read book five next and I can’t wait. (Oh, and I finally got to find out why Harlow uses the screenname Love Harley…)

The Decision is book four in the Single Dad Support Group series and focuses on Harlow, or LoveHarly as the Chat Group knows him, a dedicated father who’ll go through extreme lengths to keep his daughter happy and safe. Simon is the young omega who’s had to shoulder more responsibility than he was ready for when his parents died tragically in a car crash. It’s up to him to be the glue that keeps his little family together. Both men put family before their own needs, but when a misunderstanding forces them to live together, the sparks between them are undeniable.

I loved this book! Which is no surprise because I absolutely adore every book in the Single Dad Support Group series. Just like all the other books in the series so far, Piper Scott packs so much into such a rich romance. Piper doesn’t shy away from fan-favorite tropes such as forced proximity, dating-your-boss, or misunderstandings/mistaken identity just to name a few that popped up in this book. However, her use of these tropes always feels new and fresh, and has me completely enthralled with the book.

Michael Ferraiuolo narrates this book, just like he narrated the previous three books in the series, and just like the other books, he does a magnificent job. His voice is extremely pleasant to listen to and he really does a great job with embodying the characters. Each character’s voice felt distinct and it made it extremely easy to listen to the book without getting loss. The audio production was well done with no glitches. I highly recommend this book.

I received an ARC of this from LesCourt Author Services. This is my honest opinion and review.

I loved this book and I will be buying my own copy on payday. Simon and Harlow are great together. They have worked together for a few years and yet they had never met in person until now. When Simon helps Harlow, he didn't realize the pain that would befall upon him during their first time meeting.

Harlow can't believe what is going on in his life right now and he can't get over how wonderful the "kid" is. He never thought about his tech guy, but now he is always on his mind.

Once they have a taste of each other they don't want to let go, but when life pulls them apart will the distance be their downfall?

These two are wonderful together. They fill in each other's missing pieces. They help with Evie and Shep too. Evie and Shep are the whole cause of this story and make for a compelling story and add that nice little bit of something extra to this story.

I'm excited to see Jayne bring new blood to the SDSG and give Knot a taste of his own medicine. I'm interested in his background and how things will work for him. Simon is his only support so it is great when Harlow adds him to the group.

While this can be read as a standalone, I highly suggest that you read the previous books to get the most enjoyment from this story.

I swear by my pretty floral bonnet that I loved this book. And if you get the reference, good for you! You'll enjoy the names in the book just as much as I did.

So, the 4th book in the Single Dad Support Group series. I love these guys. I love that they are the next generation on from the His Command books, even though Simon and his brothers aren't related to any of those folks and the only connection to them is LoveHarley, through whom we get to the rest of the SDSG dads.

Simon has done mostly legal computer work for Harlow for years, and in that time, he's developed a real thing for H. So when Harlow's daughter Evie, who plays Haraleah on Heaven, Locked, goes missing, Harlow turns to Simon for the coordinates of where she is. What neither of them realize is that the coordinates are to Simon's apartment because the friend that Simon's younger brother Shep had staying with him is Evie. Well, no one realizes it until right before Harlow breaks Simon's nose.

Simon really is a filthy, filthy boy, and I loved every word of filth dripping from his mouth. It was wonderful and dirty and OMG. Harlow, for all that he's a former SEAL is really loveable. I loved the back and forth in between the SDSG dads, and the addition of Jayne, Simon's older brother, to the group. I think Jayne will be fabulous in the group and can't wait to see how he will make everything change.

PLEASE READ FIRST MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings (thanks to amazon I had to change it again and 'upgrade' it a little bit.
My old 3* is now a 3,5* and clicked with a 4*):

5* - very very good and rare (it would be a Blow-
Away-book like 'Liberty' from Seth King,
'Save the kids' series from EM Leya or
'Jesse's Smile' from Angelique Jurd), it's like
an A+

4* - very good and will be often reread and is a
WOW-book with interesting plot and surprises
(like most of Andrew Grey books) it's like an A

3,5* - a really good book, which will be reread a few
times (most romances where you can enjoy
for relaxing and during waiting times in
hospitals). I can recommend them definitively!
It's like an B+

3* - it could be more then a one-time-reader, but
not really an often reread book

2* - it was ok to read, but it's more a one-time-
reader (i wouldn't recommend it heartily, but
it was ok) It's like a C-, D

1* - sorry, but that isn't really a book for me (too
many mistakes, not nice plot, illogical, so an
absolut NO-GO). It's like failure in the whole
line, dismissed, repeat the class

I am so in love with this Single Dad Support Group series, I can’t even tell you… but I’ll try. I have been completely captivated by every single book in the series, and this one is certainly no exception. We finally get the down low on @Love, Harley… and can I say, now that I know the true inspiration for that screen name, I love him just that much more. He is definitely one of the good guys, and Simon is absolutely adorable in his own right. We also got introduced to Simon’s brother Jayne, who I am now obsessed with. Paging Dr. Glitter! Can’t wait for his story! Knot, the a$$hole with a heart of gold, is even growing on me. This was such a sweet and loving story. It’s a wonderful combination of a second chance and friends to lovers story. Well, maybe more of an acquaintances to lovers story, but you get the gist. As usual, the single dads bring the funny, as well. You just couldn’t ask for a more heartwarming, yet ultra sexy read. If this book doesn’t get your motor running, I’m afraid you might already be dead. Better have Dr. Glitter check for a pulse. I just really cannot recommend this book highly enough and I eagerly anticipate the next book in the series!

*I was given an ARC of this book and voluntarily chose to review. All opinions are my own.

5 Stars!

The Decision has become my favorite in the series (so far)!

I absolutely loved Simon and Harlow, they were just so good together. While the book covers just 2 weeks or so of time, they'd 'known' each other for longer than that. Or rather, Simon had been online stalking Harlow and Harlow had been contacting Simon for work, until they met. The attraction was instant and their chemistry burned bright and damn if Simon going from shy, sweet guy to being a dirty boy whenever he was alone with Harlow. *fans self* I wish we'd gotten to see a bit more of them in the future and not just the start of their relationship, but I do hope we'll see or learn more about them in the next book(s) in the series. 

The SDSG's chats were hilarious as always and it was nice getting to know Harley's daughter and Simon's family. 

Michael Ferraiuolo delivered a flawless performance, all the different voices and the emotions he managed to convey in me as a listener are just a few of the reasons why he's one of my top favorite narrators ever. 

Overall, other than me being greedy and wanting more, I just can't recommend this audiobook enough. It was fun and sexy and just a tad angsty, and I couldn't put it down until I finished it at 2am. I just needed to know how things would play out.

OMFGG Piper I loved it.
Simon is so damn adorable!
Simon 22 lives with Shep his 16yr old brother, his older brother Jayne 30, and Jaynes 6 month old son Parker.
He has secretly been working for Harlow for the last seven years and has fallen for him without ever meeting him. He gets a call from Harlow (H) that he needs help getting coordinates from a phone for a missing person. Little does he know the girl Shep bought home is the person Harlows looking for, his missing daughter Evie better known as Heaven, locked Haraleah. After all the years fantasizing about H he doesn't expect to get a broken nose when he opens the door to him!
After loosing his husband years ago, Harlow 38 can't believe that a young, shy, geeky, cute as hell kid would steal his heart. Simon is a filfy dirty talker in the bedroom and H can't resist.
I loved this book maybe my favourite so far. The interaction between the single dad's group is a funny as ever and now with addition of Jayne to the group I'm sure there's plenty more laughs to come. I was hoping Knots book would be next but look forward to finding more out about Jayne.
A massive 5 stars for this one.
