Summary: After a young child appears on his doorstep with a note claiming he is her father, Tank - MC member - must adjust to parenthood, helped by the new waitress at a favourite cafe, and must protect his new family from MC related danger.
Stats: 1%er MC, M/F, open door, part of a series - stands alone, “Jason Momoa without the smile” single dad MMC, artist FMC, big/small, grumpy/sunshine
Notes: I think this is a neat, fairly well paced book. The only issue is lack of resolution in the FMC’s backstory, but that’s handled later in the series. Possibly the best part of this book:FMC “I have a [tragic past] secret that I’m not ready to talk about that’s influencing my reactions.” mMC “okay let’s talk about it later.” Later- FMC “I’d like to talk about that [tragic past] thing now. Okay?”

Didn’t really feel this was an MC book. And plot holes. H just assumes child left at his door is his?? Doesn’t contact authorities, or take her to be checked medically, since she wasn’t speaking and could have been caused by trauma? No paternity test, or track down mother??? Just read the note, believed it and just started being a Dad, no big deal?????
It was so far from being realistic, that I couldn’t invest I. The characters.
