She’s half my age.
She’s probably got a spotty boyfriend stashed away somewhere.
It would be weird for my kid, and I can’t put him through anymore heartache.
The reasons I do sleep with the babysitter:
She was blowing on her soup in a really sexy way, and then she licked a strawberry.
I am so screwed.

Eden
Reasons why I shouldn't sleep with the silver fox single dad:
No. Can’t think of a single one.
Reasons why I do sleep with the silver fox single dad:
He takes me on an all-expenses-paid trip to Chicago.
I drink too much wine.
He’s damn hot and worth giving up my v-card for.
But now we’re back home to reality, am I just his booty call?

Great Dirty Talking Short

Really liked this short read. Even though there was no actual smex (there was oral though) on page, I didn’t miss it because the scene we did get was hot. A great little read.

[Kathleen Bradbury (Bulfon) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This author did not disappoint. This novel reached out and grabbed me from the very first page and did not let go until the very last.

[Lisa Bing · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a fun fast read with great characters and steamy chemistry. There is some angst in this story of a nanny and her boss, but with some twists, it was a page turner for me :)

The silver fox

Anton is the fifth book in the All the Single Dads series and this one is a hot and steamy, older man/younger woman, single dad/babysitter romance. Anton is a single dad with sole custody of eight year old Marcus. He has gone through a messy divorce and still fights with his ex about Marcus and visitations. Eden is nineteen years old and babysits Marcus for Anton when he goes out. To Eden Anton is a "silver fox" and she has a major crush on him, which she only shared with her older sister. When Anton's ex makes plans to go on a wine tour on the weekend that she was supposed to take Marcus, as Anton was to travel for business meetings with clients, Anton has to change his plans. He will still go to Chicago but now he has to bring Marcus and Eden. Eden has never traveled so she immediately says yes to the trip, plus it gives her more time to spend with Anton. Let's just say that dinner in their suite plus a bottle of wine equals a drunken kiss. Anton has liked and lusted after Eden since she started watching Marcus. But as he is almost twice her age he does not think she would ever be interested. So that one kiss was the gasoline on the already simmering fire within him, and things explode on the trip. But what will happen when they go back home and into their regular lives again?

I enjoyed this story and really loved Eden's sister Amy as she is a "tell it like it is" and looks out for Eden. The story takes a few turns that were not quite expected but that added to the excitement of the story for me.

This is the 5th book in the All the Single Dad's series featuring Anton and Eden's steamy age-gap romance. Eden works for Anton as the nanny for his son Marcus. She's had a crush on Anton ever since she started helping him with Marcus but she doesn't believe that he'd ever be interested in her. Anton is in love with Eden but he feels that she's young for a man his age. He doesn't think she'd be interested in him and he's sure that she has a boyfriend. When Marcus's mother blows off her weekend visitation with him Anton has to take Eden to Chicago. I don't want to say anymore and ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this steamy age-gap romance to see what happens. I would recommend reading this book.

Eden and Anton are attracted to one another but will they give love a chance?
The chemistry between Anton and Eden is clear to see and I liked them together.
I loved Eden’s bond with Marcus.

Eden is the nanny for Anton's son, and she loves the time she spends with Marcus. She ends up on a business trip with Anton so she can look after Marcus and things slowly change between them. Once they return home Anton knows that he wants to spend more time with Eden, but she worries that he doesn't want anything more than a booty call from her. Will he show her that its more than a booty call for him?

This is a great story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining book. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Eden is the nanny for lovable little Marcus. Anton is his sexy single dad. Eden wonders what it would be like to be with Anton and he worries she could never be with a man like him. A last minute change in plans puts them both in Chicago where they dare to explore their desires. It's better than they both imagined. Once back to the reality of day to day life Eden worries she is just a passing fancy but Anton realizes she is exactly what he needs in his life. Did he wait too long to declare his true feelings????

I really enjoyed this story, was sad to see it end.

This is book five of the All the Single Dads series and the main characters are single dad and silver fox Anton, and Eden his babysitter. Eden babysits regularly for him, looking after his eight year old son Marcus, after he won full custody of his son in a divorce. Eden likes him a bit more than she should considering he is old enough to be her father. She is trying to save up for a trip to Vegas and needs every dollar she can earn. When she is asked to go to Chicago to look after Marcus, while he has to attend an important business meeting, she jumps at the chance to finally earn enough to go to Vegas. Anton’s ex-wife has messed him about and was supposed to be having Marcus that weekend. Now Eden has an all expenses paid trip to Chicago and all she has to do is occupy Marcus during the day. Anton becomes very aware of her on the flight as they are seated next to each other and their legs end up touching. He thinks Eden couldn’t possibly be interested in him, but her body language is saying something completely different!
When they have a meal together in his room, after Marcus crashes out exhausted, she is nervous and drinks her wine really quickly and quite a lot of it as well, ending up tipsy and wanting him! She has never been with anyone, but is certainly getting some tingly sensations she wants more of. The way she blows on her soup to cool it down enough to eat it, has him hot under the collar as well, and can’t resist kissing her at last. They are saved from any further drunken moves on her side, by Marcus emerging hungry from his room. The next day they go further and have a steamy night together, with him introducing her to all the pleasures being together can bring. When they return back home, he keeps seeing her but only when Marcus is asleep at night and he never goes out in town with her. A few weeks later, her sister Amy asks her about their relationship and points out that it seems that all he is using her for is for a booty call, not a proper relationship! He isn’t ready to make their relationship public, but that is more for his son Marcus sake after the break up with his mother. Amy helps her see her relationship with Anton for what it is and it certainly isn’t what she really wants. She turns down Anton the next time he calls as it seems he may never be ready for a public relationship with her. The ball is now in Anton’s court as to what might happen next and whether they will be together again. A nice steamy romance, where it is the words of wisdom from a child that forces a final decision! I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.

The nineteen-year-old babysitter, Eden, falls in love with her boss. Anton is a single dad, who is twice her age. She is a high school dropout. She is aware enough that being, with the wealthy and well-established architect, is a no-go.

She still babysits for him, to save enough for Vegas. She plans on starting over as a waitress at a casino. She has a friend willing to help. But, when Anton needs her on a weekend trip, to watch his son, she's all in.

The closeness may kill them both because little does she know, he enjoys her company, looks, and, her care of his son. The weekend will make, or break the unit.

Fast fun read gap book

[Brandi-Lynn Weiser · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was another excellent book in the Single Dads series! I loved Anton and Eden. Their story was an age gap, he’s twice her age and she’s his 8 year old son’s babysitter. Eden has had a crush on him for awhile and when they’re away for a business trip for Anton, and after having some wine she decides to act on it. Things escalate quickly and are good for a couple weeks, but when Eden wants to go public and he doesn’t she reads things wrong and puts a wall up between them.
I absolutely loved Marcus, Aton’s son. When he was telling his dad how he heard Eden and him “wrestling” at night and it sounded like they were always banging furniture, I laughed at that!

Eden has had the hots for her boss since she started babysitting his son Marcus, but she knows there is no way he would be interested in her. Anton has to ask Eden to go with them to Chicago when his ex wife flakes out on her weekend visitation with Marcus. Being this close to Eden on the plane is pure torture, that sweet girl must have a boyfriend, he is way too old for her.

When a night of too much wine leads to steamy bedroom interludes, is it just one time or is it something more?

Anton!!

Oh Anton!! This man has been hurt by his ex wife and is a little jaded hes also in is 40s and with an 8 year old he shouldn't be having the thoughts of his babysitter that he is having but its not stopping him. Eden is 19 young and inexperienced in every way and to the world as well. Getting a crush on her silver haired boss was not supposed to happen but it did. When they finally take a chance the sparks explode and its wild but one still holds back and it takes some serious talking to relent and get the relationship going for their HEA

[Natasha Tucker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Eden was in love with Anton but he was her boss playing her to look after his son. Anton loved Eden but didn’t think she would feel the same way. A business trip to Chicago changed everything. One kiss and Anton was never letting her go! Hot, steamy age gap romance. There were some misunderstandings to work through but the HEA was beautiful

Anton was a silverfox with a seven year old son, Marcus and Eden was the nineteen year old babysitter with a crush. When Marcus' mother flaked on her weekend, Anton had to hire Eden to go to Chicago with them. That was when they discovered the feelings went both ways. Imagine the shock and enjoy the story as not everything was smooth sailing.

A thought flash in my mind when I finished reading this boo: the MCs like kneeling, like a lot and wrestling. . Anyways, the story reflects the reality of a single father and the naivety of a child. Seeing it from the point of a child sure is funny which gives a sense of relief from the parent because there are things that one will learn in time.

Eden is the babysitter for Anton. Eden and Marcus get along great. Then there is this business trip and things get a little more interesting. Anton and Eden get closer and Anton wants Eden, but Eden thinks maybe this was just Anton having fun. This is a short read with some angst but mostly just a quick enjoyable read about Eden and Anton finding love and happiness just the three of them.

But when the trip is over and they are back home, does he feel anything for her? Or is she just there for his no-strings pleasure? Can he convince her that he wants much more than that… maybe even forever?

Another steamy read in this series. Anton is the single dad of Marcus and know as the silver fox. Eden is Marcus’ babysitter who has a major crush on Anton. Both feel the heat and chemistry that zaps between them but it isn’t until a trip to Chicago that things between them change. An entertaining quick read with some drama from an ex. High heat between this younger woman/ older man. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
