Cutie and the Beast by M.E. Carter

4.0

For all the single parents out there this book is for YOU! I really enjoyed this single parent/roommate closed door romance. Elliot and Abel decide to become roommates after meeting at the gym where they both work. Each are single with 8 year old daughters and having someone to help lighten the load really becomes appealing. As their daughters bond so do they and eventually they decide to take a chance on love.

This book does such a great job representing the challenges of co-parenting and single parenting. I also loved that it was a reverse age gap romance with a 40+ female lead with a real “mom” bod! Highly recommended and great on audio. I could have used a little more open door action but overall this was very entertaining and full of hilarious one-liners!
