The job was simple. Always answer the phone—no exceptions—then solve the caller’s catastrophe as efficiently as possible.

The rules were simpler. They contact you, not the other way around. Never give them your real name, number, or any personal information not required to help a newly single dad keep his head above water.

And never, ever get involved with a caller.

Simple, right?

Becker Hayes was not who I was expecting to call during my shift with the Single Dad Hotline. He’s my boss’s boss. In the boardroom he’s rich, powerful, detached. In my calendar he’s the enigmatic one-time kiss I was never supposed to see again. But on the other end of the phone, he’s vulnerable and reeling from becoming guardian to his young nieces.

I’m not thinking straight when I offer him a little help off the books. Not when my mother’s illness is winning the battle and I’d give anything for a distraction from the loneliness.

So when the Single Dad Hotline blows up my life, what’s a girl to do but say yes to everything he’s offering?

I could not put this down once I started. Beck and Stella were amazing. This story has everything. Workplace romance, corporate espionage, a spin on the nanny trope, and billionaire unsuspecting single dad.

Beck is a wealthy, single, successful businessman who is totally unprepared when he gains custody of his nieces. Stella is coming off a traumatic breakup, losing her job and struggling to take care of her mom. They share a night of passionate kisses and then Stella finds herself hired at Beck’s company. She also sees another side of him when she gets the call to the Single Dad Hotline.

This story starts out with so much heart and humor and develops into so much more as their pasts come to light. The emotional journey they take as they work through their past traumas and current hang ups is riveting. There's drama brought on by outside forces trying to break up their newly formed family and company. The supporting cast of characters is just as developed and outstanding. 

Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais once again solidified why they are one of my absolute favorite duos. Samantha was brilliant as Stella. She gave us her vulnerability when dealing with her past and heartbreak when she's with her mom. Then showed her strength and inner mama bear protecting the girls. I'm not sure there's anything better than Connor as the reluctant, fiercely protective single dad who's not afraid to ask for help and when he loves, he loves hard.
Plus, besides the epilogue, the audio includes a bonus scene that will have you weepy with happy tears.

This was basically more than I expected based on the cover and premise of the book. Like all Avery’s books, it has plenty of heart, humor and characters you root for. However, it’s a beautiful story of the journey of two broken people finding their way to each other through the most trying circumstances and coming out on top. I can’t wait for the next installment.

Single dad swoon and so much more!!!

You can't help but fall in love with Becker and Stella, not to mention those adorable little girls! This story is a real emotional rollercoaster. One moment I was laughing, the next I was crying, and then I'd find myself angry and frustrated as I watched Becker struggle with his past, his new reality, and his feelings for Stella, not to mention a sense of betrayal. My heart aches for Stella, too. She's really pushing herself to the brink, working multiple jobs. Then, as things evolve between her and Becker, they both start to open up their hearts again. But there’s always the risk that if Stella gets hurt again, she might completely shut herself off from love.
The narrators added another incredible dimension to the story, and made it an awesome immersive experience!

So much heart in this story!

Wow this was such an amazing and heartfelt love story that will give you all the feels. Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor were fantastic bringing this story to life and conveying all the different emotions that Beck and Stella were feeling. And then there’s little Emmy and Ruby who stole my heart. What a beautiful family these four made and they so deserved their HEA.

Beautiful Love Story
