Willow Aster
A sexy, small town, grumpy sunshine, single dad, sports romance from USA Today Bestselling Author Willow Aster. I fell in love with his little girl first. From the moment nine-year-old Becca Fox and I hugged, it was like we’d known each other forever. Precocious, sweet, and kind, I just knew this little girl was exceptional. Her dad, though? Not so much. Bowie Fox checks every box in the looks department—rugged, intense, and the kind of man who makes you forget how to breathe—but his personality? About as warm as a snowstorm.
That is, until we’re seated together at his best friend's wedding, and then…we dance.
For hours.
Beneath that gruff and hard exterior, I catch glimpses of a man who wants to let loose and enjoy life.
After the wedding, when a hotel mixup leaves me without a room and stranded in Landmark Mountain, Bowie invites me to stay in his room. In his bed. It’s innocent at first. Until it’s not. A sizzling one-night stand for the books. Then I wake up alone and when I see him at breakfast, he is as distant as ever. Bowie lets me know his life revolves around Becca, his teammates, and football. He makes it perfectly clear that there is no room for anyone else—especially the bubbly coach of his daughter. As much as our paths keep crossing, I know the broody linebacker isn’t ever planning on falling for me, but when I find out I am pregnant—I wonder, Can he fall for us?

Bowie and Poppy are incredible together. They hit it off on their first meeting but Bowie has been burned in a relationship before and has closed himself off. Poppy slowly melts those walls down till he can admit his feelings.
Samantha Brentmoor and JF Harding did an amazing job narrating this book and with Lily D Moore made the perfect cast for this book.

General Thoughts: Second book I've read by this author, and second I've read in the series. After reading the first one, I knew that Willow was a talented writer, and that was confirmed here. She crafts her characters well, plots her stories well, and the pacing is excellent. I have loved reading about the friendship these guys have for each other. Male friendship is important. I also love the friendship amongst the women in the story, too. It's what I call football/sports-lite. Sports is there but definitely in the background. All in all, this was an enjoyable story, and I am glad to have read it. Curious to see what comes next. I received a review copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily.
Spice Meter:❤️🔥❤️🔥 Spicy. Not as spicy as some but still there.

This series of football-playing single dads continues to make me smile, and Bowie may make me smile most of all. I love a grumpy daddy, but even his surliness is no match for his sweet little girl, Becca, who is the absolute light of his life. She has Down Syndrome and is an absolute ray of sunshine constantly burning away the cloud that follows her father around. And she falls head over heels for Poppy, much to her father’s dismay.
Bowie is perfectly content to let it just be he and Becca forever, but there’s no denying the spark that keeps igniting whenever Poppy is around. And it doesn’t help that she works with kids and is completely wrapped around Becca’s little finger. It just makes my heart feel good watching their relationship develop and Bowie finally accept the love he deserves.
I absolutely adore this group of friends and the close-knit family that they’ve formed.
🎧: JF Harding and Samantha Brentmoor are serious masters of their craft, and I will listen to anything and everything that they narrate. They do such an amazing job of embodying Bowie and Poppy. This is mostly dual narration, with special guest Lily doing a phenomenal job voicing sweet Becca. Truly a delightful audio.

Dual (duetish) Narration - Samantha Brentmoor & JF Harding with Lilly D. Moore playing the daughter.
The narration of this story was “wicked stellar” 😉
I loved this book. The story was sweet and funny. The friendship of the guys and the girls was so heartwarming.
Poppy is a great FMC I loved the development of her relationship with Bowles 9 yr old Daughter Becca. She was absolutely amazing with her. This help Bowie see how wonderful of a woman Poppy is.
A surprise pregnancy after a one night stand throws these two characters into each others lives in a more permanent way. Bowie is trying to reconcile his past with the future he sees ahead.
Overall this is a heartwarming story. I very much enjoyed it. Relatable characters and realistic events happen.
Loved!

🎧📚🎧 J.F. Harding, Samantha Brentmoor and Lily D. Moore were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life and their portrayal of them was incredible, giving each their own voice and was believable in every role. Harding nailed it as Bowie, super grumpy on the outside, but super protective and warm with Becca and those close to him. Brentmoor was a natural in Poppy’s role, showcasing her personality perfectly, from her insecurities to her caring side, including her bubbly positivity and encouragement with Becca and the kids. Both were fantastic performing the roles of the side and secondary characters too. Lily D. Moore was fabulous in Becca’s role, and her performance added so much to her character and the story. The pacing and tone were just right for the story, and they handled the witty banter and dialogue effortlessly and with ease. You could feel how much heart they put into their performance as they captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These exceptional voice performers deliver an exceptional listen.
Excellent Story & Narration🎧 Moving & Delightful!

Gahhhhhh this series has my whole dang heart and Becca may have taken the cake. She is just too sweet and her relationship with Poppy had me close to tears. Bowie was adorable as well. A little broken between his ex and his dad... But when he finally let Poppy in, it was the best.
I think one of my favorite parts of this series is how the conflicts last about 3 seconds. There's no wild angst from miscommunication. These couples talk to and trust each other so much, it's a really beautiful thing.
The audio 😭 I adore Samantha Brentmoor and JF Harding, but special guest Lily D Moore stole the show, she was fantastic. And I loved that they had an actress with down syndrome perform the lines and had the proper representation. This was a wonderful listen.
Such a Great Series

Their story is heart warming it's about healing, love and about surrounding yourself with supportive people who choose to love you and don't leave. It's about showing up every single day for the ones you love.
Blood doesn't make a family and this group of friends are amazing family to one another. I absolutely love the guys friend dynamic. They share everything with one another and their single dad playbook entries are everything. They support, love and care for each other.
Beautiful story
