I am giving this book 3.5 stars. It was an ok book. I liked Harlow and Simon, I liked the plot a little bit. We didn't get much character development, I felt, the characters just kind of fell into a sexual relationship and very quickly it turned romantic. There was no real build up for that and we didn't find out about Harlow from the past very much. We know his husband died, but that's it really. I just wanted more character.

This one felt very different from the rest of the series. There was a lot more focus on the two protagonists' families: Harlow and his daughter, and Simon and his brothers and nephew. I ended up really liking that, and tended to grow impatient when the focus switched back to the relationship between Harlow and Simon - I preferred reading about Evie, Shep, Jayne and Parker (and of course the Single Dad Support Group chats!!)
Especially Jayne and Parker were adorable, and I can't wait to continue with Jayne's book.

Harlow and Simon have a backstory, and their chemistry is evident from the very beginning even before they meet, but they ended up being very sexual. This, however, isn't unique to them - the entire series is very sex-based.
That said, all sex scenes are very well written, and while Harlow and Simon are by far the ones with the roughest and imo kinkiest sex, the scenes were enjoyable to read.

I was however majorly bothered by how none of the characters even talked about any of the important things. There were no big misunderstandings, and for the most part they did talk about their feelings, but.... huge conversations just... didn't happen???
SpoilerEvie running away?? Shep being insanly talented to the point he infiltrated and shut down a heavily secured venue with nobody knowing how he managed and not getting caught???

This was so good! This series is consistently good and I've enjoyed each book in this series, to varying degrees, but all pretty damn solid.

There is no mpreg in this but this is a world with mpreg so Harlow, one of the MC's has a daughter he had with his late husband (biologically) and Simon, the other MC, has a brother who has a newborn that he carried himself. So, no mpreg in that Simon, the omega, doesn't get pregnant (yet, at least) but this a universe with mpreg.

Anyway, this was a fun an enjoyable read and I adored Harlow and Simon together. It was a tad fast and not at the same time - they knew each other for three years, but only over the phone as Simon worked for Harlow remotely as he's a hacking, tech genius, but then when they meet face to face for the first time, they know each other for a little over a week before they're in love - although Simon was kind of already in love with Harlow (although mostly with a fantasy so I don't know if that counts.)

Simon was sweet and adorable and I adored Harlow as well, and the secondary characters were intriguing as well, with an interesting plot.

I actually wanted more at the end, with these two
Spoilerjust getting together permanently at the end
.

I continue to be annoyed that the SDSG calls each other by their usernames in real life, thinking it and saying it out loud. They know each other's real names now, I don't get why the call each other by their usernames in real life. It's just weird. And also lends a feeling of distance between these guys who are supposed to be best friends now and call each other family. Okay, so why do they call each other xV, Knot, TD, and Harley in person? It's annoying and strange to me.

Other than that, I just which that epilogue had been longer and maybe in the future a little to see these two together for more than like two weeks
Spoilerand also Simon with his nose healed
.

But overall I enjoyed this and can't wait for Jayne's story! Wonder who his LI will be...

The Decision is book four in the Single Dad Support Group series and focuses on Harlow, or LoveHarly as the Chat Group knows him, a dedicated father who’ll go through extreme lengths to keep his daughter happy and safe. Simon is the young omega who’s had to shoulder more responsibility than he was ready for when his parents died tragically in a car crash. It’s up to him to be the glue that keeps his little family together. Both men put family before their own needs, but when a misunderstanding forces them to live together, the sparks between them are undeniable.

I loved this book! Which is no surprise because I absolutely adore every book in the Single Dad Support Group series. Just like all the other books in the series so far, Piper Scott packs so much into such a rich romance. Piper doesn’t shy away from fan-favorite tropes such as forced proximity, dating-your-boss, or misunderstandings/mistaken identity just to name a few that popped up in this book. However, her use of these tropes always feels new and fresh, and has me completely enthralled with the book.

Michael Ferraiuolo narrates this book, just like he narrated the previous three books in the series, and just like the other books, he does a magnificent job. His voice is extremely pleasant to listen to and he really does a great job with embodying the characters. Each character’s voice felt distinct and it made it extremely easy to listen to the book without getting loss. The audio production was well done with no glitches. I highly recommend this book.
