My Review:

Single Dad Center is the third book in the multiauthor series, Dating a Denver Dragon. It can be read as a standalone novel. 

This friends to more romcom will give you emotional whiplash. One minute you are invested, the next you are fussing at a character (I will let you decide which one, LOL!). 

Archer will do anything to protect those he loves. Including guarding his heart so that he can continue to put his daughter, Indy, first in his life. He had not counted on his attraction for Ronnie. After all, they had known each other for years.

Ronnie finds herself at a crossroads when she is suddenly jobless. When Archer needs a temporary nanny, she is happy to fill the gap. Anything for the team. Besides, she has no desire to marry or have a relationship. What could possibly go wrong?

Both our main characters have trauma from their past, but the author does a great job of balancing that with lighter elements.

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

The Denver Dragon’s captain’s perfect life was ripped to shreds when his wife suddenly passed away two years ago, leaving him a single father to their toddler girl. Since then, Archer Sullivan has taken his grief and anger out on the puck. When he’s not shredding it on the ice, he’s playing princess and having tea parties with his four-year-old daughter, Indigo.

But there’s a gaping hole in his heart where his wife used to be, and as Indy gets older, he wonders how he can raise his daughter without a mother.

When his babysitter bails on him right before a big game, Archer finds himself accepting help from an unlikely source. Veronica “Ronnie” Reynolds, his team’s scout’s daughter.

The one-time good deed turns into Archer begging Ronnie to be his new babysitter. His daughter loves Ronnie and Archer trusts her.

But the more time he spends with the quirky app developer, the more Archer begins to wonder if his heart could learn to love again.

Veronica Reynolds is on the verge of leaving her mark in the app development world, until she discovers that her now ex-boyfriend, Buck, pitched the idea as his own. With no way to prove the concept is hers, Ronnie decides to cut her losses and forge her own path. She has a plan. Create a completely new app and pitch it to another company.

There’s only one problem. Denver Dragons Captain, Archer Sullivan, and his adorable daughter.

The closer Ronnie gets to the irresistible pair, the more her creativity flourishes. More than ideas spark between her and Archer as their chemistry ignites. But when Archer goes from hot to ice cold, Ronnie must decide if she’s going to fight for the man and little girl who’ve become her family or cut her losses once again.
