The Single Dad: A Sweet Small Town Romantic Comedy by Abi Sabina
4.5
Adding a little sunshine to the life of a grumpy single dad…
With Sara struggling to find a teaching job that doesn’t mean leaving the town of Sunshine Falls, she’s been working at her brother’s vet clinic to help with their boarding pets program. But when single dad, and chronic grump, Ryan is in need of a nanny for his daughter Sandy, Sara instantly offers her services. She’d be perfect for the job, but all Ryan sees is someone who is a little too fun and carefree to be looking after his daughter. But when he finds himself in a jam, he can’t not accept Sara’s offer. Especially when Sandy absolutely adores her. Sara makes it her goal to crack the grump, but what she’s not expecting is for her teeny tiny crush on Ryan to develop into something more.
Okay, I did the stupid thing of not reading the first book in a companion novel series first (not that it really matters, but it’s the principle of the thing…), but in my defense, I couldn’t not dive into this one when I saw it! Single dad? Age gap? Grumpy/sunshine? Small town? This book has it ALL! Minus the spice, which is always refreshing.
Ryan and Sara have INSTANT chemistry, and watching them get to know one another as Sara starts to chip away at Ryan’s wall was so enjoyable and swoony. And throwing Sandy into the mix added so much more to their story and relationship. Not to mention some of the more adorable moments ever! Grumpy single dads who only smile for their kids are the hottest MMC in romance, let’s be real!
Definitely keen to go back and read book one, following Sara’s veterinary brother Ivan - the small amount we got to see of him was enough to get excited to discover his story from the beginning! Not only that, but I’m really excited to read more about the rest of Ivan & Sara’s family in the rest of the series!
If you’re looking from a break from the spice, or prefer your romance closed-door, this is definitely one to check out!
