Good finish to the series that ties in well with the feel of the first three book rather than the last two.
Content warnings include: a/b/o setting, mpreg, unplanned pregnancy, toxic work/life balance and work environment, bullying, hacking, mild violence, pregnancy complication scare sex on-page, semi public sex, age difference (20/mid-thirties?); mentions of past abusive relationship.
I was wary of the whole best friend's son/dad's best friend setting thing - I'm not sure if knowing Damien and Matthew as side characters throughout the entire series made that better or worse. Ultimately it was handled well, if very insta-love/-lust.
Though I disliked the way Damien/Knot tended to talk about how it all happened, he was always respectful to Matthew and clearly cared about him.
I liked the way this book concluded the series. Not only were the Single Dad interactions more frequent and with more at stake this time around, they also brought the series to its end wonderfully. And the mystery around Damien's child(ren) is finally lifted!
Again, I feel like the characters should have talked about some important things some more, but it wasn't too bad. I had a hard time keeping track of Damien's family, since non of them were mentioned before and the relationships were explained at no point.
Despite the series' drawbacks, I ultimately had a great time reading it.

I enjoyed this last and final book in the series. I felt the chemistry between Matthew and Damien and loved their scenes together, and the conflict was well done and everything.
I do think at times, mainly near the end, it was just too easy and Matthew and Damien barely had any conflict once they got past having to tell Gwynn, Matthew's dad about them. And there were legitimate things they had to do deal with, but it all went a little too smoothly to feel all that realistic.
(I also got annoyed once again with the Single Dads calling each other by their handle names from the online support group then their real names, and them thinking about each other as those handle names. It's just ridiculous to me. If I met my friends from online in real life, I would address and think of them by their name, not their online handle. I even at times - if the person has given it away - refer to them with their first name even online. It's just too weird to me that these guys don't do that, at least in person.)
But overall this was fun times. Seeing all the dads together is always fun, and seeing them having fun and being a family together, the epic Glitter War between Damien and Laurence (Gwynn), and so on. I enjoyed Matthew and Damien's romance, and I didn't mind the Daddy kink, I felt like it fit their dynamic well.
So I enjoyed this final installment and I've really enjoyed and loved this series overall and am sad to see it go, but am excited to see what other projects Piper Scott will gift us with. I was happy that all these guys got their happy endings.
So while this wasn't perfect, imo, I still very much enjoyed and appreciated it, so two thumbs up from me for that alone.

The Single Dad Support Group series has been fantastic from start to finish. Filled with so much emotion, highs and lows, laughter and tears, and The Answer is no different. It's been worth the wait to get Knot's story as the only guy left in the support group without his HEA. The author has done to tie up all of the character's stories as Matthew is the young man that he finds himself attracted to when they both arrive in Fiji for one of the other dad's wedding. We first met Matthew in book one of the series as Gwyn's teen son who becomes a father himself.
The Answer is a perfect showcase of everything that this series has to offer and I loved it from start to finish. From when the men first meet, there is an instant attraction with a sense of forbidden romance with Matthew being Damien's (Knot) best friend's son. They are definitely hot together and a great match and it doesn't take long for the feelings to match their attraction. There are issues for them to work through with the relationship, including distance, secrecy and an unexpected surprise, but then there is also some trouble that Damien is having at work and when it comes down to it, he problem solves the best way he knows how.
The group of men that readers have come to know and love across the series are out in full force in this book with several occasions for them to get together along with their regular chat group that often has me laughing out loud. They've all come so far and it's been a joy to read so while they can be read as a stand alone I can highly recommend that they be read in order as each single dad gets their own story and the group grows in partners and children.
Michael has quickly become one of my favourite narrators after listening to him narrate Piper's books. He brings so much to the characters and the story, it's really easy to fall into everything that is going on with the plot, MC's and friendships.

An amazing end to an amazing series. This book was pretty much perfect. there were just a few things i would have loved to see honestly. I would have loved to see the introduction between Nadja and mathew also a more thorough introduction between Damiens family and Mathew. I mean we seen a bit and the video meeting but besides that there is nothing considering it is mentioned how important family is to Damien.

I've thoroughly enjoyed every one in this series but I have to say I've been waiting for Knot's book the most and it did not disappoint.
I loved the humour, the emotions, the snark, and the wonderful relationship between Damien and Matthew.
Volcanic heat levels and oddles of family sweetness and friendship have made the Single Dads series an absolute joy imho.

Yikes! Talk about falling for someone you aren't expecting to! Matthew goes on vacation with his father and his husband. While there, he meets this guy who takes his breath away. Of course, it just so happens to be one of his dad's good friends from the Dad group. Both Matthew and Damien feel like they shouldn't get involved, but they can't stay away from each other and eventually decide that they shouldn't stay away. There are funny moments (especially when the gang gets to chatting), lots of amazing glitter, and lots of love all around. I loved the relationship between Matthew and Damien, Matthew and Laurence, and Damien and Laurence. There were ups and downs all around, but they were adults who worked through it well. It was great to see Damien start to take care of himself as well. I enjoyed this a lot.
