EM Lindsey has a brand new series and I can already tell I am going to love this single dad series if Lane and Bowen’s precious love story is any indication. 

Meet Lane, overwhelmed and exhausted single dad to the world’s most precocious and troublemaking three year old, and Bowen, former stunt worker and trained nanny recovering from an accident and a terrible ex at his older brother’s house who happens to be the neighbour of a certain hot (at least Bowen thinks so) silver fox single dad. These two meet and connect out of need, but I so loved how they went from being friends to crushing on each other so hard, to a brief FWB situation and then fell so deeply for each other. Theirs was a cautious start, both characters wary from past relationships that left them bruised and hurting and watching them tip-toe into their eventual HEA was a true delight. 

I couldn’t help but feel for Lane who was just so starved for affection and words and touch that was kind, something that Bowen had no shortage of to give. To watch these characters heal each other with care and kindness, and by just showing up for each other with no strings attached filled all the fuzzy parts of me and it is, yet again, one of my favourite parts of an EM Lindsey novel. Of course, the angst was also there in spades and my heart squeezed at the vulnerability they displayed and in all the big, anxious feelings that these two characters bravely faced in order to commit themselves to the other. 

I can’t wait for some of the other characters’ stories and this series promises to deliver on the heart, the big feels and all the found family goodness! 5 big stars!

CWs: Past emotional abuse; past narcissistic relationships; divorce (not between MCs); past injury resulting in limb loss. 

CNs: This is an MM contemporary romance featuring a single dad and a character with a leg amputation. This is a mid-to-high heat novel and features several on-page sex scenes. Thank you to the author for providing me with an ARC and this is my voluntary review.

This book was so good! I loved all of the characters in it, main and side! Except Lane's ex, but we were supposed to hate her with a passion and I certainly did. I really loved Bowen and Lane together, and although this was a slow burn, I really enjoyed the beginning of their friendship, too. Seeing them together as friends made their romance so much sweeter, and holy hell, the steamy scenes that much steamier. I think this book really gave a nice setup for the rest of the series, too, giving a lot of depth to Frey, whose book is next up. Again I will say, as always, E.M. Lindsey can do no wrong and I will always read their new releases! They never let me down!
