Publisher's summary

He has a past. Could she be his future?

My son is my life. Nothing on earth matters but him.

Soon I'll have to send him out into society. The cruel machine that gnashes innocence and spits out the hollowed remains of a child's imagination. It's a place I know all too well, considering my past. I've worked hard to separate myself from it, but it looms in the back of my mind - waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

My son, Logan, wants to have birthday parties, make friends, play at the park - all the normal things that seven-year-olds want to do. All the things I want to do with him.

I've put up walls around our life to shield us from danger. Giant barriers to ward off possible threats.

Cora Chapman crashes through them like a wrecking ball. She's intelligent and hilarious, with soft curves and a spark that ignites a flame deep inside of me.

There's only one problem - she's Logan's teacher.

When my past wraps its tentacles around my throat and threatens to strangle the breath from my lungs, I'm given an option - fight for my family's freedom or die as they're stripped away from me.

I can't lose. I won't lose.

My name is Landon Lane, and I am a warrior.

Relationships of all kind

If you read this and love MMA it will be all the better. It is a little sci-fi and a whole love story. I felt it's title does not do the story justice. A location chosen that has been devastated... a sport many love...an unconventional family and Love. Worth the money or credit. Narration was well done also. Enjoy.

All love

This story was amazing, it had the perfect mixture of fantasy and reality. The characters are amazing and I fell in love with them all especially Joe. This book doesnt have the best reviews and I was honestly hesitant to listen. I am so happy is didnt listen to any of those reviews. The ending is so amazing, I'd give this book 10 stars if I could. Give it a chance.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed this book a lot. Some of the writing wasn't my style but I still enjoyed it. I laughed, I cried, the heat was just the right amount. Some plot twists were a bit far fetched but I still enjoyed it.

Different but in a good way.

The title "Bad Dad" was a misnomer as Landon was a pretty good guy. This was probably listed under the romantic suspense genre and that it was and more. Cora as the love interest was a little vapid. We learn that Landon was genetically engineered, had escaped from an island, and had to fight in the MMA to truly be free. He goes through some brutal training and Cora backs away a couple times. I 'm not a prude, have read all 3 "fiftyShades" books but the explicit sex didn't do anything for me. .Leave a little to the imagination. Great narration!

So much love for this book!!

I'm new to this author and I am hooked. I thought the story line was intriguing and as the book developed I feel my emotions rising. The twists and turns kept me guessing and the romance was spot on.

This gave me all the feels....Give it a try.

WOW...did not see this coming! Fantastico!!

Cora meets Landon when he is called into school for his son’s fighting...and it’s insta-something. She really should not get involved with the parent of a student but she is intrigued by the silent man. They go back and forth for a while and eventually start dating...we should get our HEA now right? Oh but you’d be soooo wrong! Things are just getting started!! This is not your typical dad and teacher romance...noooo...Landon carries a ginormous secret that could endanger those he loves. No spoilers...but if you love a bit of creepy science...think The Island of Dr Moreau’...and MMA...then you’re in for a treat! We eventually get a fantastic HEA that left me wanting more. Maybe there’ll be a follow up book with Landon’s ‘brother’, Joe???

OMG so good!!

This book was so good. Landon had a very interesting story and background. Cora, a teacher, very sweet, kind hearted. Their chemistry was sizzling. I loved the way their story grew. That ending...omg I was frickin speechless!!! Maxine and Blake were perfect with narration!! I can't wait to see what other books Sloane Howell has on audio!

Bad Dad

I seriously don’t know how I feel about this book. I don’t hate it but I’m not sure I liked it either. There were times that I felt like I was missing something. Blake Richard read the story so slow and dreary. The subject matter was intriguing, sometimes suspenseful, and there was a little bit of romance, so I guess overall it was a good story, it was just missing something for me.

Wowza

Hardly ever do I rate this genre 5 stars. This book was fantastic from beginning to end! I think the only thing that would have made this better , is having dual narration where the male always says his part and the female always reads her part. Even so they both did a fantastic job! Sloane hit all the feels in this one for me! Freaking ❤ it!
