Dex and Winnie have stolen my heart, ripped it out, broken it into tiny pieces and sewn it back together again over a 98 minute period. There were quite a lot of similarities between this book and Irresistible, but since I loved that book, I loved this one too. In the rearview mirror, I looked at my daughters, and as always, I was half-stunned to see them sitting back there—was I really a father? After reading (and becoming obsessed) with Tempt last year, I decided to go back and read some of the other books in the series.

he's a thirty four year old man with kids and he doesn't know how to cook even a simple dish like pasta? When it comes to his daughters he loves them with all he has, he may swear like a sailor on leave and be a bit of a grump but I give him a 10!I've moved on to the next generation and it just makes me every inch as warm and squishy as the first 5 books. And despite the charred hamburgers and constant F-bombs, the girls liked being with me, and they always gave me extra long hugs when it was time for them to go back to their mom. It had a perfect blend of gruff sweetness, electric spice, and hilarious moments that had me wanting to reread the story as soon as I finished it.

If I ever say I don’t like the single parent trope from this day forward, I give you all permission to slap me. Three years ago, when I’d come home for good, Hallie hadn’t wanted to hug me—she knew I was her daddy, but I was unfamiliar to her in person. all rhodes lead here will always be number one for the best single dad trope and nothing, especially this book, will ever compare.Sunshine because when you did get to see the rough exterior crack and fade away you knew it was genuine and you knew you had earned it. But when he meets his much younger new neighbor, he is shocked to find himself instantly attracted to her. I found his personality to be very unappealing (he’s a jerk, but not a lovable one), and in the bedroom he was aggressive and a little unkind.

Dex is recently divorced and ex-military, a father to two (scene stealing) little girls, and he’s sworn off any romantic attachments- he’s got a bad taste in his mouth for commitment thanks to his failed marriage. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.It’s fine that my new next door neighbor is a hot firefighter and single dad with muscles for days and dark, broody eyes. Nothing is spoiled if you read Ignite first, each story is based on a different couple, but the events obviously build and you really get to know and fall in love with the characters, which is one of the many reasons why I love series. They were both flawed and were trying hard to not hate each other and to make concessions where possible. Anyway, my dearest little boy Dex, don't you get tired of shitting on your ex-wife for being a decent, responsible mother, or maybe do you get tired of comparing the woman you're fucking to your own daughters? Naomi was willing to be flexible, but since she had to arrange her client appointments at the salon based on my work schedule, I’d promised her I wouldn’t ask for changes once the calendar was set for the month—although that never stopped her from trying to see them during my days or nagging me about things she didn’t think I could handle, like Luna’s nut allergies or Hallie’s compulsive tendencies or any kind of scheduled appointments.

Dex is always forgetting condoms so Winnie gives in and goes on the pill which is a load of bullshit to me.It sounded too good to be true (because it was); dilf firefighter love interest that has 2 daughters and just moved in next door, friends with benefits arrangement, and good good steam. That’s one of the many reasons why I will always get excited about reading Melanie’s books, they just give me heart such peace because I know that’s how I feel when I read them. She made a bet with a friend to go 6 months without falling in love but what happens when she agrees to be friends with benefits with her hot new neighbor and tries to keep her heart out of it.
