Willow Aster delivers another emotionally rich and slow-burning romance with Wicked Love, the fourth instalment in The Single Dad Playbook series. This one pulls at your heartstrings in all the right ways, wrapping small-town charm, unexpected family, and simmering tension into a story you won’t want to put down.
The heart of this novel isn’t just the romance—it’s the bond between Poppy and Bowie’s nine-year-old daughter, Becca. Their connection is instant and genuine, setting the stage for something deeper long before the adults catch up. Watching Bowie, a grumpy and guarded single dad, try to navigate the whirlwind that is a bubbly, sunshine-hearted coach was a joy to read. He’s rugged, emotionally reserved, and laser-focused on being a great dad—but even the most locked-up hearts can’t resist love forever.
What starts as an innocent room-sharing favour turns into one unforgettable night—followed by the kind of emotional push and pull that Willow Aster does so well. There’s tension, heat, heartache, and genuine growth as Bowie tries to reconcile his past with the unexpected future unfolding before him.
The accidental pregnancy adds a layer of real-world complication that feels sincere rather than dramatic, and the journey to “us” is both messy and beautiful. With themes of vulnerability, fatherhood, forgiveness, and learning to open up again, Wicked Love is equal parts swoony and heartfelt.
Final thoughts:
A touching, tender, and slow-burn romance with a brooding single dad, a heroine full of heart, and a little girl who steals the show. Whether or not you’ve read the earlier books in the series, this one stands firmly on its own—and delivers all the feels.
