As a widower and a father and caretaker of two young girls, Atlas has closed off his heart and survives each day with just the love of his girls. But with one wrong number text, Atlas embarks on a relationship with a woman who epitomizes fire and passion. With each and every text the two become significant in each other's lives. What happens when the identities they kept hidden become known? Will they both learn to love again or will the fantasy and connection only be in their minds? I cannot say enough praise for this entire series. With each and every addition the reader becomes more invested in all of these men and I wil be very sad when the series ends. Another fabulous read from Whitley Cox!!

6 Grumpy Atlas and Hippie-dippie Tessa stars.
I’m amazed at how this series just gets better and better with each book
Whitley Cox has done an awesome job with all the single dads. This book though is everything. My favourite so far. This story is intense, emotional and funny too; I love the single dads' brotherhood.
Atlas and Tessa are great together. Their chemistry is palpable. Tessa is an art therapist she didn’t have an easy life and the last boyfriend broke her heart in more ways than one. Atlas is a widower he’s a lawyer and has two little girls to take care of. And he thinks he can’t love anymore. Tessa brought the light in his life again and he couldn’t help but fall in love with her, her spirit, her kindness. And in return he gives her all the love he has in him. Oh, and he is no grumpy anymore :)
Obviously there's much more in the story, some things will break your heart, others will fill you with joy, but I’ll let you find out for yourself. It's worth.
Can’t wait for Liam and Richelle’s story

Atlas is tall, broody and delicious who is doing his best to not only raise his daughter Aria and his cousins daughter Cecily while trying to make partner at his law firm and deal with the loss of his wife. Step in hippie skirt and bangle wearing Tessa who is going to help Aria work through the sometimes crazy acts (ie permanent jimmy jams) and attitude towards Cecily, oh but thats not all there is also David and Marie along with a kidnapped dog named Forest and what fun they bring to the mix after a miss dial text. I just love Atlas and Tessa, they have both been through a lot and neither feel worthy of love again but when sparks fly well its all on. Be ready for an emotional ride with heartache, cute kids, plenty of laughs, new friends, secrets revealed, falling in love and a kickass team of lawyers and muscle who are going to get Tessa's beloved dog Forest back!

Die Reihe ist mittlerweile wie nach Hause zu kommen.
Mich konnte die Handlung und deren Verlauf überzeugen. Fand sie stimmig. Die Charaktere fand ich unterhaltsam und liebenswürdig.
Ich freue mich schon auf den nächsten Teil

I'm so sad there's only one single dad left in the series now. But Liam and Richelle is definitely my most anticipated couple of the series, so I can't wait to read their story.
But onto Atlas and Tessa's story. Atlas is a widower who can't get over losing his wife and he couldn't cope having to be a single dad. He has to deal with his angry and emotional toddler and at the same time, he has to take care of his cousin's baby. He has yet to deal with losing his wife, now he has to deal with two kids. Because of that, he become really grumpy and broody, he doesn't even talk anymore. So the rest of the friends recommended him to send his daughter to a child therapist to deal with her emotions. (Side note: their interactions are so cute in this one, but it was emotional at the same time, I just love Aria) Seeing how Tessa's helping his daughter kind of give him insight on how to deal with his own grieving.
After her cheating fiance left her high and dry, he also stole her dog, work's the only thing that's constant in her life. But when she texted the wrong number, she found herself attracted to the guy she doesn't even know the name to. But at the same time, Tessa couldn't help but be attracted to Atlas the broody single dad. He help her go through a legal problem against her ex-fiance. How can she be attracted to two guys at once?
You know I've been loving this single dads series, this is no different!

De-Café Review of Flirting with the Single Dad [The Single Dads of Seattle Book 9] by Whitley Cox
I read this as a stand alone in the series and will be making the effort to go back and read the previous offerings.
Atlas Stark- Overwhelmed Single Dad and lawyer. Lost his first love and wife to cancer. 3.5-year-old daughter and 10-month-old adopted daughter.
Tessa Copland- art therapist. Recently boke up with a dog stealing cheater of a fiancé.
This story is amazing! I loved wit and charm of Atlas & Tessa's story. You can tell because of life Atlas is overwhelmed and closed off to most everything but his two daughters, Aria & the baby he adopted from his cousin baby CeCe.
Atlas’ daughter Aria who is 3 and half starts acting out against baby CeCe his fellow single dads recommend a child therapist and fate opens the door with Tessa. Tessa comes with her own baggage, an ex-fiancé who stole her dog. This story is fun and quirky right from page one and could not put it down. I always love instant attraction and chemistry between the characters. The banter between the characters is entertaining and really helps move the story. I really enjoyed the quirkiness of Tess played against Atlas’ Type A personality.
This was a great introduction for me to the world of Whitley Cox. I can not wait to see what she writes next. This was a 4/5 read for me. It was short and I got my HEA. Some of Tess’ quirks were a little hard for me to get past. I am not much of a healing crystal type of person, but it did play well with Atlas, just felt over the top.
