This is a fast tale that has a bit of work drama, but is warm, loving with the right amount of heat. Brock is a single dad of twins; he is doing his best raising them since the death of his wife. After several years, he is ready to move on and one of the teachers at his girls' school has caught his eye. Olive has her eye set on the director's position and is not wanting to let anything get in her way, even a hot dad, but will passion, desire and temptation be too much or just the right amount.

Brock and Olive's story is a perfect read for when you want a quick escape. I love how Brock handles when Olive is being threaten by a co-worker.

Brock is a dad to twin girls. He’s lost his wife and hasn’t had time or interest in a relationship until he meet Olive. Olive is the director of the twin’s daycare and can’t help but notice their sexy father. It’s against the rules but what is she to do when he pursues her non stop. An engaging read that has you hooked from the start. These characters are well written and have tons of chemistry that keep things interesting. A great read in this series. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Brock lost his with during the birth of his twin daughters. He drops then at daycare and is looking forward to seeing Olive, she always has an easy smile. When he sees the other employee is at the door he is disappointed, she flirts with him but he feels nothing shuts her down. Before he leaves she is there, he asks her out and she says she cannot, did he read it wrong.

Olive has never felt anything for any of the dads beside Brock, but she is up for director and cannot risk it. If the owner's daughter gets it, it would be bad for the daycare and the children.

Brock is determined to make the beauty his, how much convincing does she need?

Jealous Much?
Great story. Brock is ready to open his heart again and he wants Olive. When he gets the courage to ask her on a date she turns him down. It’s not that she’s not interested in him because she is. Olive doesn’t want to jeopardize the promotion that she wants and dating a parent would do it. When she eventually gives in all is going great until the day of the big interview. A vindictive co-worker, who is up for the same position, sees them together and records them. Now everything is going to fall apart. But, Brock has the perfect solution to make sure she gets the job. Will Olive do it and shut the nasty harpy down? Dad’s will find a way.

Brock lost his wife in childbirth, so he has been raising his twins on his own. Olive has been his saving grace she introduced him to the single dad group. He just wished there was a way to get her to go out with him. Olive is drawn to Brock, but she is up for a promotion at the daycare, and she is worried if they were involved, she could lose it. However, one evening Brock catches her out and things heat up between them. Will they finally get their chance to be together? Can she still see him and keep her job?

This is an amazing story that will draw you in from the first chapter on. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

WOW!! Fab*u*lous Absolutely love this one!! I couldn't put this one down. This was a nice quick, short read.

Brock and Olive met when he's takes his twin baby girls to daycare. Brock just lost his wife when she gave birth to the twin girls Sophie and Sarah. Four years Brock has been taking his girls to daycare and he starts to notice Olive. When Olive comes out and finds Brock waiting around he asks her to have dinner with him. Olive tells him no, she can't. Olive wants to be the daycare director and she can't get involved with a parent. Brock is at the single dad's meeting when he spots Olive leaving the bar. Brock heads out and catches up with her, when he finds Olive walking down a dark alleyway. Brock walks Olive to her car but then kisses her. Olive tells Brock she can't get involved with one of the parents she's in the position to be the director. The following day while Olive is walking home Brock pulls up beside her and tells her to get in. Olive asks Brock what he's doing and he tells her he's taking her to his house so that they can have dinner. Brock's parents are watching his twin girls so they have all night. Brock and Olive arrive at his house but Olive makes sure that no one can see them as they head inside. Once inside Brock kisses Olive then he pleasure her and they make love. Two weeks later, it's the day of Olive's presentation for director of the day care. Brock pulls up and kisses Olive before she gets out of his vehicle. Olive notices a figure across the street and when she looks it's Lindy the other person running against her. Olive notices the phone in her hand and Lindy tells her she has proof she's dating one of the parents. Olive thinks it's useless to head inside for her presentation but Brock tells her she's got this. Brock then goes down on one knee and asks Olive to marry him and she tells him yes. Brock tells Olive that she was kissing her fiancé and that shouldn't be against the rules. Five years later Olive tells Brock she needs to get up before the kids so that she can get things ready for the daycare. Brock tells Olive to relax they have plenty of time, but she tells him they need to get the twins up and ready for school, their son dressed and fed and the baby needs her bottle. Brock pleasure Olive and they make love before all the chaos erupted around them. Olive is glad they shared a moment before chaos of their family life.

The main characters in this story are Brock and Olive. Brock is a single father to four year old twins, Sarah and Sophie, having lost his wife in childbirth. Olive is a worker at the daycare centre he has taken the girls to for some years now. He struggle for a long time after the girls were born, but he was saved by a suggestion of Olive’s when he first dropped off the girls and would sleep I his car outside until it was time to pick them up, about the All the Single Dad’s Club which has been a godsend for him and helped him cope with his daughters. He has always liked Olive and her lovely manner with the kids, but has felt his attraction to her grow more recently, until he finally gets his courage up and asks her out, only to be shot down in sort order! Olive daren’t risk any hint of scandal as she is trying for the daycare director position and has her co-worker Lindy also going for it, and also being the owner’s daughter to boot.
Brock doesn’t give up easily and keeps asking, until she explains why she is saying no, as she clearly has some feelings for him, unless he is totally mistaken! He asks her for a meal and takes her to his house, so she won’t be seen by anyone connected to work. He can’t keep his hands to himself once he has her in his home and so close by. She finally gives in to her desires and they start a hidden relationship, being careful not to be seen by anyone. Two weeks later is her interview with the board for the director’s position and it is the one time they forget to be careful, as the interview is to be held away from the daycare and neither was thinking clearly. Lindy gets her evidence and goes in ahead of Olive to gloat to the interview panel, but Brock has a hidden surprise for Olive, that should sway any detractors! He boosts her confidence and sends her off to her interview with all his love and attention. The epilogue shows us their HEA ending some five years later, with more kids in the mix, and as happy as can be. A short read with a guaranteed HEA ending and a bit of steam. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.

He can't help but notice the sweet teacher to his girls....and this single dad falls hard for her also

Brock is the fourth book in the All the Single Dads series. I enjoyed this short, sweet, naughty and entertaining story about Brock and Olive. Brock lost his wife during the birth of his twin girls, four year ago. It has been hard for him but the one thing that started to make it a bit easier was when he started to bring the girls to the daycare and into Olive's loveliness. Olive is one of the teachers at daycare and has been working her way up to become daycare director. It is within her grasp as the position is down to only two people and will be decided within the next two weeks. The problem is that the other person up for the job is Lindy, the owners daughter who is less than desirable. The other problem turns out to be Brock's timing. He has finally worked up the courage after realizing a couple of months ago that he is very much attracted to her to ask her out. Olive's reaction is not quite what he was expecting but she knows she cannot date one of the dad's from the daycare so she says she can't. Brock may be wondering what happened, especially as he could swear he saw a flicker of heat in her eyes, but the fates are about to give him a second chance and he is not going to let her get away from him this time. But with the conniving and jealous Lindy just waiting for Olive to make a mistake will she go with her heart or with her career? Maybe she can have both if Brock has anything to do with it.

Brock is a single Dad of twin girls that he has to drop off at preschool. Everyday he sees Olive the teacher at the school. He really likes talking with her. He tries asking her out but Olive refuses until one night while walking home, Brock pulls up his car and tells her to get in cause he's taking her to dinner. He found out why she couldn't go out with him not cause she didn't like him but because she was interviewing for the director of the daycare and can't date students parents.
After dating secretly and being caught by another staff member, Brock asks Olive to marry him. That way she's not dating but engaged.
Olive gets the job and after being married and taking care of their four kids they've never been happier.

This is the 4th book in the All the Single Dad's series featuring Brock and Olive's cute story. Brock lost his wife in childbirth of his twin daughters and has been raising them alone ever since. When he takes the girls to daycare he looks forward to seeing their teacher Olive. Olive is up for the director's position and she really wants to advance and move up in her position. When Brock asks her out even though she's attracted to him she turns him down. She's thinking of the twins and all the other children if the owners daughter were to get the job it wouldn't be good for the daycare. You really need to read this sweet story to see what happens. I would recommend reading this book.

First things first; I like the cover of this book!
Brock is the fourth book in the ‘’all the single dads’’ series.
This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Brock is a single father to twin girls. He has wanted their nursery teacher since he met her. When he finally makes his move will Olive take a chance?
The chemistry between Brock and Olive is clear to see and I liked them together.
I liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

Widowed dad, Brock, has twins in daycare and one of the teachers is always on his mind. Olive is up for the director position and does not want any complications at that time so she rebukes his advances. They do get together and the sparks fly to the point where she does not care anymore, but he makes it perfect right before the decision meeting. The characters are heartwarming in their caring, protective, passionate ways. The storyline is full of fun situations, big decisions, drama, surprises and much more. The ending was a perfect touch to all that came together throughout the story.

5 stars for Brock!! This fast quick read was great. Full of steam and angst and insta love that all the previous books on the series have brought.

Olive has had a soft spot for Brock and slowly feel for him while taking care of his daughters. When Brock finally gets the courage to ask her out she is up for a promotion and it could ruin it. There is worknto be done and issues to be dealt with before they can have their HEA but when they do its sweet

I liked that Brock and Olive had a history, that they had gotten to know each other over time and their feelings for one another had developed because of this. I felt for Olive and the situation she found herself in, I thought she handled it well. Brock knew what he wanted and nothing was going to stop him from getting it. Personally I would have liked to have seen how the interview played out, I enjoyed the ending to their story.

Brock has a thing for his daughter's preschool teacher. When he makes his play, she turns him down because it is unprofessional, and she is in the running for becoming head of the preschool. When the daughter of a board member shows her pictures that she took of her and Brock, will it end her chance for getting the job? This story had me in Brock's and Olive's corner to get their chance for finding happiness!

This one my favorite so far in the series! I loved it. It was short, and fast paced, but the dirty mouth on Brock was sexy as hell!
Brock is a single dad to twin girls, he’s been single since losing his wife in childbirth. But for awhile now he can’t stop watching and thinking about his girls preschool teacher. Olive feels the attraction with Brock, but doesn’t want to act on anything because she’s up for the directors position and doesn’t want anything to jeopardize it. But Brock refuses to let anything stop him from making her his!

This is a fun fast read that showcases a single dad that has taken the time to heal before falling in love again. Things aren't simple for them, especially with a small minded coworker competing for the same job as she is. Thankfully, he finds a way for them to give in to their chemistry - talk about smoking hot ;P They do find their HEA and I loved the epilogues to fill in some of their future for us.

Brock is a single dad who has been crushing on his kid’s daycare teacher. I enjoyed how honest and upfront Brock was towards Olive. This is a short romance, which was nice, but could have been developed a little further with the characters. I did enjoy the epilogue as it shows how much they’ve changed their lives.
