Kristie J’s review of Single Dad’s Loss (Finding Single Dads, Book 3) by Sam Destiny
Contemporary Romance published by Amazon Digital Services 28 Sep 18
I’ve been such a reading machine lately that I’ve become very far behind on reviews. When it came time for this book, for the life of me I didn’t remember it – until I read the outline, that is, and then I remembered it very fondly, and that’s always a good sign.
Hayden, our hero, is devastated when he hears that Leah, his best friend, has very recently died. And then he’s shocked when he finds out that Leah has made him guardian of her son Cory. And Katie is the one who delivers the news and the baby. He already knows Katie, she’s part of a group he’s also familiar with, though he doesn’t know her very well. But he’s been interested in her and doesn’t know if the feelings would be returned.
They would have, because Katie feels the same attraction Hayden does. She’s a nurse, and when she offers to help him with Cory, he’s very grateful and he knows he wouldn’t be able to step up and be Cory’s adoptive dad without her help. And as the two work together, the feelings they have for each other began to grow.
This is a short book at only 113 pages. I normally don’t read such short stories, but this one makes me want to start reading more of them. Without a lot of pages, the author does manage to do quite well with character development and likability.
One area I do have issues with, though, and that’s the pricing. This is a self-published book, and at less than 120 pages, I think the price of $3.90 is way too high. I didn’t pay that much, I picked it up for much less – though I see the price has gone up and that is what’s kept me from reading more books by this author.
Grade: B-
Summary:
When my best friend Leah died, life messed up mine. Instead of giving me the chance to mourn the woman who’d been like a sister to me, she signed my name as the father of her child.
Father to an infant, a hole in my chest, and no experience whatsoever with children—what could possibly go wrong?
However, Heaven sends you an angel when you least expect it, and that’s where Katie comes in.But… Will her presence be enough to make me strong for what’s coming—or will I ultimately fail in the end?
