Single Dads Club #4
Austin
Austin: Hockey is life.
As a forty-five-year-old divorced single dad, being the varsity hockey coach is the only thing that still brings me joy. When I’m on the ice, I feel so alive and for those precious moments, I can forget about all my shortcomings.
Because of my dedication to my players, we are the league’s reigning champions.
When my best friend's son, Brayden, tries out, I don't know if there's room for his ego and cockiness on my all-star line-up. But Brayden ignites something inside me that I haven't felt since my divorce.
The attraction doesn’t—and shouldn’t—make any sense. I'd previously been married to a woman and Brayden is half my age.
I'm supposed to push my players' boundaries to their absolute limit, but this boundary I'm pushing with Brayden is definitely out-of-bounds.
It’s only a matter of time until Brayden's dad finds out…
Brayden: Austin's my coach…and my dad’s best friend.
There's something about Austin's boldness as a coach that makes me feel some kind of way.
After many 6:00 a.m. practices with Austin, our coach-player relationship grows into something much more.
This attraction to my coach is sudden. It feels like I'm getting body-checked hard out of nowhere.
There's no doubt we shouldn't be together at all. But even though I want to stop, it feels like we’re colliding on the rink at sixty miles an hour.
If anyone finds out, my dream of playing in the varsity league will be over faster than it began…

Where the previous book felt like there was disconcerting pressure to get a straight boy into the sack, this one features pressure with an age and power imbalance. I wish this could be called a vast improvement on the previous story, but I was so very disappointed. I could have liked Brayden if not for Austin being who he was in the story. It has nothing to do with the father's-best-friend trope, or even the age gap, it has everything to do with Austin's lack of respect, boundaries, and good sense.
Brayden is a promising young athlete that's being a typical young college freshman. While I can turn a blind eye to underage drinking on a college campus, I'm far less forgiving of Austin encouraging it as a father figure, teacher, coach, and supposedly responsible adult. Brayden's lack of time management, his quick temper, his enthusiasm, his budding talent -- all of it spoke to a young man on the cusp of learning what it's like to truly adult for the first time and I think he should have been given the chance to do that.
Austin is supposed to be Clayton's best friend, but the lack of respect, the judgment, the confrontations, none of it spoke to friend-like behavior. Yes, we see the truth of our friends, but to gossip, judge, and berate them behind their backs to anyone, let alone their children, is dispicable. Getting to know Brayden's hangups is fine, but featuring Clayton's parental foibles in such a negative light was bad form and demeaning.
The sexual situations made me mildly uncomfortable because of Austin's insistence on their roles, his dishonesty, and his utter disrespect for boundaries in Clayton's home. All of it culminated in a rather unsavory feeling that coated each of their more passionate moments. What could have been a really beautiful relationship felt tainted by the behaviors, attitudes, and sordid manner in which Austin comported himself.
There were some really sweet moments in the story that made this better than Clayton's story, so lest you think I detested everything, I didn't. Brayden standing up for himself with both his father and Austin were great moments of independent thought and passionate feelings. Clayton's love for his son was there as well and his care for his son was evident in his desire to connect with him and how much he missed him. Westley was soft, sweet, and a good partner in this story. There were things to like here, but my enjoyment was eclipsed by many disappointments

Austin is the fourth book in the Single Dads Club serie by Candice Blake. This book was a bit better then Clayton. I liked the characters. It's just 4 stars for me.

2.5 🌟 hesitantly rounded up
Although I missed one of the books in this series, I have read the rest. I chose not to review one, and either didn't request the other, or missed the opportunity for review. I liked the first book fairly well, but this story, while somewhat cute, left me disappointed.
Braydon is the 18 yo son of Clayton, the Single Dad's Club's founder. At the club, Clayton met Austin, who became his best friend. Austin has a son, Frankie, that is the same age as Braydon, and the two boys became best friends as well and went through high school together. Therefore, Austin has known Braydon since he has been an adolescent, and Braydon has always looked up to Frankie's dad for not being as controlling as his own father.
Now, Braydon and Frankie are starting college and looking forward to trying out for one of the best hockey teams in the country. Austin happens to be a professor and the head coach of said team. Braydon has enrolled as a business major, but he took an architectural elective because that is where his true interests lay. Austin is, of course, the instructor of the evening seminar, and they end up talking after class the first night.
There are a few things that bothered me about this story. First of all, as with the first book, this is a double GFY romance with no awkward moments or fumbling. The best friend's father/son issue was kind of hot, but the way Austin took chances while in his position of power, let alone the fact that he seemed to make the decisions in (or out of) the bedroom, bothered me. I especially found the position he put Braydon in at Clayton's house out of line. I understood Clayton's reaction to their relationship a lot more clearly than Frankie's; it seemed to me that by that point in the book, the author was just ready to wrap things up.
Some poor editing issues aside, the story wasn't horrible; it just didn't strike my fancy. I also don't like the formatting this author seems to prefer, so this may be the last book I try for a while. However, if you like age gap, GFY on both sides of the relationship, best friend's father/son, and some serious Alpha male tendencies, this story is probably the book for you.
Happy reading!

4.5 Stars
I am just downright giddy about Austin, the fourth book in Candice Blake's Single Dads Club series. In this one, we get to read about Brayden who happens to be Clayton's son.
Brayden's starting College where he's playing hockey. His father's best friend Austin happens to work at the college as a teacher and hockey coach. As the two men start to spend time together, Austin's surprised to find himself attracted to the younger man.
Oh boy, the attraction is there, the chemistry is strong, and the ability to not give in to their feelings is no where to be seen.
Ohhhh...love the conflict. So much conflict. Teacher/student. Coach/athlete. Best friend's kid. So much to keep them apart, yet they can't resist.
If you love a gay for you romance, you'll especially enjoy this one, as it's a double gay for you tale. The age gap is fun, yet easily a non problem.
I continue to struggle with the author's writing of dialogue. It's stilted, full of too many "he said"s. But the storylines and characters continue to make up for that distraction. I love these men and I love their stories.
The story is light angst, as the conflict wasn't nearly as complicated as it could have been. Personally, I would have preferred a little more angst, but it's still good.
Austin is a fairly easy, quick read. It's perfect when you're the mood for something light yet juicy. Candice Blake will leave you smiling throughout.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!
To my ratings:
A 3,5* is clicked with a 4* but in review marked as 3,5*:
5* - very very good and rare (it would be a Blow-Away-book like ‘Jesse's Smile’ or ‘Joey’ from Angelique Jurd, ‘Save the the kids’ series
from EM Leya, ‘Love’s Tethered Heart’ from C.L. Etta or ‘Liberty’ from Seth King),
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 and Davidson Kings 'Haven Hart'-series)
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 (2-3 times a year),
it's like a B
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 absolute NO-GO). It's like failure in the
whole line, dismissed, repeat the class

Austin is the third book in the Single Dad’s Club series by author Candice Blake. I love this series. You can read these as standalone novels. I prefer them myself to be read in order. There are some side characters we have met before and for me, it is more enjoyable in order.
This story is told in dual POV. I actually am loving that POV. It allows me a deeper connection to the characters and their mindsets.
Brayden: his going to college and leaving the safety of his dad’s place. He wants to see his dad happy. His other dad had passed away a long time ago. He is 18 and ready to take on the world. He is an athlete a hockey player. Roommates with one of his best friends from high school.
Austin is Brayden’s best friend’s dad who is also best friends with Brayden’s father. He is a professor at the college. He is also the hockey coach Never planned on falling for Brayden. He was previously married to a woman.
These two have a lot to overcome but they are really meant for each other you can feel it as you read this story. I loved this one and cannot wait for more from this series in the future.

Brayden is 18 yrs old and start his first year at college with his best friend Frankie.
Austin 45 yrs old, Frankie’s dad and Clayton's best friend (Brayden's father). He’s also a professor in architecture and the coach of the hockey team of Brayden and Frankie.
Austin knew Brayden his entire life, he saw him grew up along with his son. Brayden had always saw Austin as his father best friend, and Frankie’s dad. When they start to spend more time together between classes and trainings, things change between them. They start to understand that they’re not as straight as they think and the undeniable attraction between them can’t be denied anymore.
Austin is book 4 in the Single Dads Club series and can be read as a standalone.
I liked the age gap between the characters, I liked that even if Austin is the older of the two, they’re equal in their journey of love. They’re both in unknown territory and they both need to understand and assimilate what it’s means for them.
It was sweet, hot and sexy.
A quick fast book easy to read.

Yuck yuck yuck
I LOVE age difference and some taboo romances....This was no romance. Austin was so manipulative....going to the dorm to play mind games with the 18 year old then hugging on him leading to kissing when he's vulnerable....all the public sex with the thrill of getting caught...a 45 year old sneaking into a dorm then coercing the 18 year old into sex in his father's home! 45 year old Austin refusing to bottom but playing on 18 year old Brayden's hormones and his positions of power to insist Brayden do so. And don't forget they each initially compared the other's man part sizes to the other's father/son. I liked the other books in series but this was full on yuck.

Quick fun read
This is a quick light read. If you don't like a lot of details and such want something light and fun to read this book is perfect for you.
This book follows Brayden, who is Clayton's son from the previous book and Austin. Brayden is a freshman at school and Austin is the father of Brayden's best friend as well as his coach.
I really did like the ford hidden love aspect of the book but i do wish there was some more details and conflict between the characters. overall a quick fun read.

Austin 45 a divorcee is a college professor and hockey coach. When his best friends, Clayton and his son, Frankie best friend starts at the college he teaches he starts to see him very differently. He's never had feelings for another man, let alone a student and someone so young.
Braydon 18, has always looked up to his dad's best friend Austin so when he gets these sexual vibes from him he's shocked.
Neither thought they would end up falling in love and what will happen when the truth comes out?
A good read but finished too quick. I wanted more.

Austin is the fourth book in the Single Dads Club series by Candice Blake. This contemporary m/m romance novel is the lovestory between Austin and Brayden - a young college student and an older but sexy coach.... and Brayden's father's friend, not to mention his best friend's father. Oh yeah...cant we say angst?!? The story has a good mix of sweet and sexy and sport. It's fun and made me happy and smile. Definitely a great book in the series.

If you are like me and are a sucker for forbidden, best friends son, age gap, teacher/student, coach/player than you will love this hot little read.
Brayden is a college freshmen who finds himself trying to balance school, hockey and his new attraction to his best friend's dad, Austin who happens to be not only his professor, but his hockey coach. In addition, Austin and Brayden's dad are also best friends. Both Austin and Brayden know this is wrong, but it feel oh so right!

I really enjoyed this story, it was well written and age gap relationships is one of my favorite tropes in romance books. Austin and Brayden were deep and lovable characters, I liked their interactions and their conversations, they had great chemistry. The scenes between them were very sweet. I also loved seeing Clayton and Westley again. I just wish there was more build up before their first kiss.
I received an ARC of this book for an honest review.

I enjoyed this age gap romance, forbidden romance story. Brayden is 18 and just starting college with his best friend Frankie. Frankie's dad, Austin is Brayden's father's best friend, oh and Austin also happens to be Brayden's professor and hockey coach. Neither man has been attracted to another guy before and despite knowing how wrong their relationship would be they simply can't resist their insane chemistry.

🌟✨🌟✨4 Love May/Dec Romance Stars🌟✨🌟✨
The Single Dad’s Club series is a May/Dec GFY with 3 of the 4 stories in this trope. Book 4 is about Clayton’s best friend Austin and Clayton’s son Brayden. Austin’s son Frankie and Brayden start college where Austin is a professor and the school’s hockey coach. Brayden plays hockey and also is taking a course taught by Austin. The best friends father/son story is hard to write but this author made it believable. This series keeps getting better.

Brayden, a college freshman, ends up falling in love with his professor/hockey coach Austin, who also happens to be Brayden's father's best friend along with being Brayden's best friends father. It's a very complicated relationship for a college freshman and his professor. But they do in fact fall in love in a very short time period and have a happily for now ending.

I absolutely LOVED this marvelous, grab-you-by-the-feels, amazing, sweet, delightful, engaging, charming, lovely, poignant, completely unexpected, unconventional, definitely different, and totally awesome twist on the same old tired storyline. It had me hooked from beginning to end, and I would recommend getting this entire series ASAP.
February 16, 2020
As the series continued, the plot is getting better as adding several tropes at the story: an age-gap, BFF’s son (and dad’s), teacher-student, coach-player, and so on. However, regardless everything the topic is the same than in the previous books, a single dad finding love. Wonderful reading!!
I received this book as an ARC and this is my honest opinion.

My favourite tropes in one book!
May to December
Best friend’s Dad
Student/Teacher
Coach/Player
Dual straight to gay for you
All of these tropes with just enough angst to temper the sweetness of the story. Very well written. I loved how well divided the dual points of view were.

I love any book having to do with Hockey and this one did not disappoint. Austin is a youth hockey coach. This is a very easy to read story with great characters and great story. a great addition to this series.

Good
Just like the rest of the series sweet and simple. I did find myself skipping parts, only because I really don't like sports books, I just find them boring. So I just focused on the romance aspect, and it was sweet.

45 yo man with barely legal 18 yo boy, da*n, it is such huge gap and I'm not satisfied with the ending at all.

I liked this one.... the characters had good chemistry. The nervousness from feeling like they were betraying their family and friends could be felt throughout the story. Good writing.
