Will a Christmas love built on lies melt away just as surely as the snow?

Welcome to Seattle, the Emerald City and home to The Single Dads of Seattle. Ten sexy single fathers who play poker every Saturday night, have each other's backs, love their children without quarter, and hope to one day find love again.

This is Zak's story ...

Single Dad of Seattle, Zak Eastwood plans to spend Christmas with fellow lonely hearts. His kids are supposed to be at an amusement park with their mom. However, fate has other plans. When a woman from his club finds herself stranded in the snow, he takes her to safety.

Drowning in student loan debt and her father’s medical bills, first-year law associate Aurora Stratford allows herself but one splurge—a pricey membership to Club Z Fitness to watch the gorgeous Zak flex his muscles. Though out of her league, fantasizing about his blue eyes and tattoos is the only thing that keeps her sane these days, especially since her Christmas will be spent alone with her dead cactus and money woes.

When the snowstorm of the century moves in and the hero of her dreams offers her a ride and a place to stay, Aurora’s Christmas begins to look up.

However, Aurora is ashamed of her current financial state—she’s nobody’s charity chase—and her lies of self-preservation begin to take on a life of their own.

Can Aurora spend Christmas with the single dad and win over everyone? Or will her deceit get in the way of not only their happy holiday but her happily ever after?

**Note: This book can be read as a standalone. It includes lots of steamy scenes, cursing, and of course as with all my books, this has an HEA and no cliffhanger or cheating. If you like single dads who take charge, this book is for you.

He was about to ask as much when she moved toward him, her pace full of purpose. She grabbed his face and kissed him.

And it wasn’t just a peck on the lips. No, this woman knew how to kiss. She knew how to throw her whole body into it. A low and pleasant hum warmed him from the center outward.

Her soft, slippery little tongue pushed its way into his mouth. Then she started to suck. She started to fucking suck on his tongue. He moaned as his cock stirred beneath the towel, his hands moving to wrap around her back.

This had been so unexpected, and yet he couldn’t get over how much he suddenly wanted it—wanted her.

A shrill beeping sound from downstairs made them both still. She was the first to pull away.

Her light brown eyes were glassy, and her cheeks held an adorable pink flush. He dropped his gaze to her plump, wet lips and he swept his thumb over the bottom one back and forth. He stilled when she pressed the tip of her tongue to his thumb, then parted her lips and lunged at it with her teeth, nipping the pad.

He tugged it away, grinning.

Oh, she was a wicked little thing.

Grabbing her around the back of the neck, he crushed his mouth to hers, taking control of the kiss this time, forcing her lips to part for his, to mold to his. She gave over all the power and melted against him, her arms wrapping around his neck and pulling him down to her. He was about to push the hem of her shirt up to explore her lack of a bra when the loud beeping of the oven timer downstairs had them pulling a part once again.

Her ample chest rose and fell rapidly, his did too.

“Hold that thought,” he murmured, grabbing hold of his towel and heading downstairs toward the kitchen. “Be right back.” Then he took off as fast as his legs could carry him, hoping that his chicken wasn’t burning, but even more so that the woman in his bedroom would still be there when he returned.

This is one of my favourite series of 2019 and just when you think it can’t get any better we Christmas with the Single Dad and we are back with the single dads of Seattle at my favourite time of the year.
Zac Eastwood has been burnt before and he is adamant love and relationships are not for him all he cares about are his two adorable kids and building his fitness business but life is about to be turned upside down for Zac when a snowstorm hits town and he finds himself coming to the rescue of one of his gym members Aurora (Rory). Rory has been attracted to Zac from the moment she met him but deep down she thinks he is completely out of her league until the night he rescues her from the side of the road, what follows is two people getting to know each other but sometimes we lie for self preservation and one thing Zac hates is a liar so can this couple find the magic and the most magical time of the year ..........
This book ticked all my boxes, a couple with sizzling chemistry, adorable kids and let’s not forget catching up with the members of my favourite club the single dads of Seattle. I laughed, I smiled,I sighed and I fanned myself quite a lot as I read this beautifully written love story and I’m sure you will too. This book can be read as a stand-alone but I’m sure you will want to read all of this great series with hot loveable men and their adorable kids.

This series keeps getting better and better. Every time I read a new book in the series I fall more and more for all the dads in The Single Dads of Seattle series.  Christmas With The Single Dad has become my new favourite. I so wanted Zak Eastwood and Aurora (Rory) Stratford to get their happily ever after.

Aurora has been infatuated with Zac since the first time she saw him but knows that she has no chance. Badly burnt by his ex wife’s lies and betrayal Zac has no intention of opening himself up to love again, that is until fate steps in and puts Aurora in his path.

I loved how a snowstorm gave Zak and Rory the chance to really connect with one another. Although it was fast, it soon became obvious to both that there was something worth pursuing. Neither Zac or Aurora can ignore the smoldering chemistry and growing  feelings that sizzle between them.

When their idyllic time is interrupted by unexpected visitors as well as his adorable children being returned for Christmas,  Zak and Rory embrace the holiday with gusto. For Rory, the easy acceptance by Zak’s grandparents and his children Aiden and Tia melts her lonely heart and I admit it was emotional. In fact there were times when I felt that Aiden and Tia might steal the book away from Zak and Rory.

There were times when I laughed and times where I wanted to cry. It will make you swoon and I think you will be hard pressed not to fall in love with all of the characters. I loved that we also see other members of the club; the camaraderie and friendships amongst the men and the women they fall in love with is heart warming.   

However what will happen when Zac discovers Rory’s “lies by omission” ? Will he be able to overlook them and forgive her or will the pain of his past ruin his chance at happiness with Rory?

A Canadian West Coast baby born and raised, Whitley is married to her high school sweetheart, and together they have two beautiful daughters and a fluffy dog. She spends her days making food that gets thrown on the floor, vacuuming Cheerios out from under the couch and making sure that the dog food doesn't end up in the air conditioner. But when nap time comes, and it's not quite wine o'clock, Whitley sits down, avoids the pile of laundry on the couch, and writes.

A lover of all things decadent; wine, cheese, chocolate and spicy erotic romance, Whitley brings the humorous side of sex, the ridiculous side of relationships and the suspense of everyday life into her stories. With single dads, firefighters, Navy SEALs, mommy wars, body issues, threesomes, bondage and role-playing, these books have everything we need to satisfy the curious kink in all of us.
