‘The Falcon and the Foe’ is the first entry in A.J. Truman’s ‘Single Dads Club’ series. I have been waiting to read these for quite some time now, and I had a great time! It is endearing and funny, while also containing the perfect spice to plot ratio. There is representation of many forms, which is always great to see. As a former Cub and Boy Scout, I appreciate the inclusion there as well. I enjoyed all of the characters and their dynamics. I am excited to read more of A.J. Truman’s works!

It was a cheesy “enemies” to lovers, single dad’s romance.

It wasn’t serious; and the reason why the two dads hated each other was childish sure but it was a fun read.

I liked them being later in life (40s) and the “dad bod” rep.

3⭐

I don't truly know how to rate this... it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Two single dads in their 40's dealing with the fact that they "hate" each other but wanna get with each other whilst also leading their sons falcon-scouts thing.

Single dad romances, age gaps, bears, not a single small child who is unrealistically mature for their age in sight.

This book was hilarious, but I do take issue with the repeated claim that “no one has ever died zip-lining” XD

A good start to the book with both characters like fire and ice against each other. Enemies is a definite theme for the beginning of this unfortunately the scout members coop the displays.
I had to feel sorry for their boys with their dads being and acting like two year olds.
Both have a point Ross being an drill Sargent and Cal need organisation and a plan for them working together.
Scenes in this where over the top in playing out for the book. This book wasn't for me and it's a story you either loved it or hated it.

Cal and 11 year son Josh where joining the scouts wether Cal liked it our not. Unfortunately Cal didn't like the scout leader since they'd run into each other in the past.
