Dancing with Daddy by Susan Hawke
5.0
This is such a heartwarming story! A slow burn romance between a father and his daughter's biological dad.
Bradley locates Shane when it's revealed that he's not Maddie's biological father. It's a huge surprise to them both and especially how well they get along. To help Shane get to know Maddie, Bradley offers to allow him to move in with them where everyone becomes closer, feelings develop and love grows.
This is a perfect story for the two lonely men who need to have better connections in their lives. Bradley just has his daughter and work, along with extreme case of anxiety when it comes to their health and safety ever since his wife died. Shane has no real attachments apart from his mum and the old lady across the hall who spoils him with baked goods. Especially not to his very recent ex who he caught cheating but didn't even feel a sense of loss over the relationship. It's a surprising plot and is beautifully written by Susan Hawke. She is great at contemporary romances that include men in need of love and affection as well as entertaining characters that easily bring a smile to your face. This story's being Maddie, Audrey (Shane's mum) and Peaches (lady across the hall). There's a real sense of family straight away when it's just Bradley and Maddie, it's obvious how much he loves her, and once Shane moves in there is more light and laughter to be had.
Definitely a recommended read for me! I fell in love with the characters as soon as we meet them and it's a story that just pulled on my heart.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.
