Single Glance was one of those books that I truly just could not put down, I couldn’t stop reading, each chapter left me begging for more. I honestly think this was one of my favorite reads this year.
I have never read a best friend’s ex before, and I fear I have a new found favorite trope. I think I really loved this book because it was written so well, it brought out the best in each character while also showing the highs and lows in life that are deeper than just surface level.
Cam and Hadley meet their first year of college on move in day, when Hadley’s best friend (then roommate) Victoria dating Cam. During that same year, Victoria got pregnant with Emilia and ended up not finishing school so she could stay home with Em. Throughout the years - Hadley and Tori have remained life long friends, and Emilia loves to have Auntie Hadley around... but Cam and Hads could NOT get along. They were always at each others throat. Cam always told Hadley she was a menace, and she always called him sarge. Now here they are years later, Cam finally gets him Major League debut for the Erie City Hawks, which he wanted because it meant he was closer to Emilia,.. but now Victoria’s going on a few week long trip and they need help with Em.. so Auntie Hadley offers to help!
I’ll let you read the rest from there...
I really loved getting to watch Cam and Hadley’s relationship unfold, and it makes you think if their meeting and Hadley KNOWING he was a good guy, all those years ago, was just the universe saying “right person, wrong time”. Gosh - I will be thinking about this book for awhile, they gave me all of the feelings. All of the swoon, the heartache, the joy, the squeals, and everything in between... but when I tell you the spice in this was absolutely delicious.. it was DELICIOUS.
I am SO grateful to have received this as an ARC, and it will for sure not be the last K.C. Brooks book I read. RUN to KU and Amazon on July 3rd to get you this beautiful story.

I was not expect to love this book, but here I am, giddy with excitement about telling you all that you need to add it to your TBR immediately.
This story was so wholesome. Cam is a golden retriever boyfriend through and through. His acts of service are unmatched, and as sweet and caring as he is, he has a dirty, dirty mouth in the bedroom. He’s obviously the total package 😍
Oh, and if he isn’t already a dream, he’s also a professional baseball player and a single dad to her best friends daughter. You read that right, her best friend’s baby daddy.
I loved Cam and Hadley so dang much. Their relationship went from dislike to love and it was so much fun watching them find their way to each other.
This is my first book by K. C. Brooks but it definitely won’t be my last. This story was beautifully written. It gave me all the feels and I just couldn’t put it down. This is a book I’ll be dreaming about forever. This story. The characters. The found family. All of it was just so perfect.
Seriously…single dad, baseball player, golden retriever. What more do you need?!
Thank you to Luna Literary and the author for the ebook arc to read in exchange for my honest review!

Omg this book was everything. Single Glance is a single dad baseball romance where we follow our FMC Hadley as she tries to navigate the growing tension between her and her best friends ex boyfriend and our MMC Cam as his introduction as a major league player turns into a growing connection between his exs best friend. We follow through their eyes as their history prompts tension to grow when they are forced to be near each other for three weeks. We watch as “hate” turns to love and as they grow and achieve their dreams together.
I’m so in love with these two goodness. Such an incredible group of characters. Watching Hadley and Cam come together and finally express all their feelings was honestly so good! I loved Hadley and her character, she is so head strong and knows what she wants but due to her childhood tries to undermine herself. She’s such a relatable character and I absolutely loved that her friends and Cam were able to understand her worth and value! Cam is like a dream man! A baseball player who where’s his absolute heart on his sleeve and cares so deeply for the ones he loves. The way he interacts with his daughter and her mom, the way he supports Hadley and makes her dreams come true. Just honestly an amazing character. I’m obsessed with both of them!
Listen I’m a sucker for single dad baseball romances, I just always love them so I knew I was going to absolutely be obsessed with this one. I loved the writing for this one, it was simple, had enough detail, every plot point made sense it was so good! I loved how all the characters were written and how everything happened and the baseball was great ( I honestly wish we got more hehe)! Also that ending mwah perfection! I honestly had so much fun reading this book and I can’t wait to read the next one in the series!
Overall, I really enjoyed this book! And honestly what’s not to love! Like a single dad baseball romance come on!!! Loved every second! Thank you to K.C. Brooks and Luna literary for the incredible ARC! ⚾️🐈⬛🍎

Single glance by K.C. Brooks is a must read! The authors writing an excellent and easy to read. I couldn’t but the ebook down. The character driven narrative focuses on Hadley and Cameron’s point on you. Hadley has created the opinion that dating not worth it. Tropes found in Single glance which plot develops around are baseball romance, single dad, best friends ex, one night to more and forced proximity. The plot is as well developed as the characters. Having read other books by K.C. Brooks I love the different direction this new series took. K.C. Brooks is a must read author for me. The plot highly compelling. I definitely recommend picking up Single glance when released July 3rd,2026.

Who knew quiet, unassuming Cam had such a filthy mouth? I am here for it! I loved watching Cam and Hadley find their happily ever after. Hadley is the perfect partner for Cam. She’s feisty and sassy. Cam is the single dad cinnamon roll we always love. When those two finally get out of their own way, it’s a beautiful thing.
I loved all the cameos from our favorite St Stephens lake characters, but Emilia absolutely steals the show. I can’t wait for this series to continue.

I really really loved this book. I am such a fan of this author and will read anything she writes. I will be honest was a little nervous about reading this one but boy was it written so well and just made me fall in love with the characters.
Hadley is Victoria's best friend (Vic is from another book in this series) and is such a Firecracker. She loves Vic and Victoria's daughter Emilia. She doesn’t seem to be the fondest of Cam, Emilia's dad and Victoria's ex.
Hadley is a free spirit and always moving around but ends up getting a substitute job at an elementary school and stays with Victoria in the guest house.
Cam is a baseball player and when he gets offered to play for a team closer to where his daughter will be, he is so excited.
Hadley and Cam have that enemies to lovers vibe going on and the way Hadley gets under his skin with tormenting him is the best. Will Hadley be able to give into her feelings? Will they both give in to the chemistry even with others around who may or may not approve?
I don’t want to give anything away but all I can say is you will laugh, cry, and fall in love with these characters.
