Single Dads Club by Therese Beharrie

5.0

Single Dads Club by Therese Beharrie is a dual-perspective, non-toxic, slow-burn romance that I could not put down. Yes, this is a romance story, but it also talks about deeper topics like fatherhood, family issues, and a lack of parental influence in the formative years.

Meet Rowan. He becomes a single father to Declan, his young son, and uproots his life to move to the small coastal city of Sugarbush Bay in South Africa. There, with the help of his grandmother, Rowan hopes to give his son the childhood he never had. Meet Delilah. She is a former-heiress-turned-server, determined to make self-improvements and life-improvements. She introduces Rowan to her brother, Matt, and they form the Single Dads Club.

I adored the slow-burn romance between the couple. Beharrie beautifully illustrates the challenges and rewards of parenthood, especially for single parents, with her writing style thus producing captivating characters you cannot help but love. I found many similarities between the tight-knit community and my upbringing, making this story an authentic read from a BIPOC perspective.

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for an eARC in exchange for my honest review!
