Athica Lane (The Carpino Series)

From USA Today Bestselling Author Brynne Asher

A single dad, grumpy-sunshine, age-gap romance that will leave you wanting more...

Cam Montgomery is a single dad who knows his priorities: his kids, his job, his business. Dealing with his disaster of an ex-wife is bad enough, not to mention delinquent football players, and a meddlesome mother.

Cam doesn't have the luxury of time for anything more, especially a relationship. Even if it is Paige Carpino-smart and sweet, but at every turn, knocks him on his ass with the unexpected.

Figuratively speaking of course.

Paige might come in a small package, but she makes up for it in spirit. An energetic spit-fire who has some heat to her sauce, she's dedicated to her new business, her family, and a select group of friends. She's never put herself out there, but then again, there's never been anyone worthy.

Until one day in a burger joint, an asshole practically enters her into a wet t-shirt contest. Who knew a disaster like that could be the beginning of your life? Or, more importantly, that asshole would be your reason for being. But anything can happen when you finally put yourself out there for a single dad, ex-football player, and the hottest man you've ever run into. Throw in the Carpino's, the Montgomery's, and an eighty-five-year-old bossy friend into the mix, and it's a recipe for something ... big.

Warning: This book contains a hot dad, a sassy heroine, steamy parts, and naughty words. If you're under the age of 18, this author is frowning at you with her mama eyes telling you to walk away.

Meh, it was okay. It was good initially, I love a single dad troupe, but then it started getting super repetitive and eventually the MMC and FMC started getting unlikeable. I ended the book by skimming through the last chapter and the epilogue. Got real predictable in the end too which is unfortunate.
