Story
The day I left Wilder Valley, I swore I’d never return. My dreams were too big for this small town, and I was determined to make it in LA, even if that meant leaving behind the man I loved. Now I’m back, brokenhearted and publicly humiliated after a colossal breakup live-streamed to the masses. I have no career or money to show for my 23 years away. If I could hide out anywhere else on the planet, I would. Instead, I resort to taking the only job in town. A nanny gig for my high school sweetheart.

Story
Macon Davis. My best friend’s brother. My tormentor. My least favorite person. Pothead. Delinquent. A careless, directionless loser. That’s what I used to believe, but I didn’t really know him. And when I finally saw him, it was the best and worst thing to ever happen to me. We burned hot and fast. Passion. Anger. Love. Pain. We were reckless. Naive. We were doomed from the start. When I finally saw Macon Davis for who he was, we both went down in the flames.

Cash Ryatt is a distraction. It's no secret the bad boy race car driver has built a reputation from two things. Winning and fu-front-page headlines. I've read he's the best at both, but I have no intention of finding out firsthand. I have my own plans, and they don't include making the gossip sites as his next one-night stand. My three older brothers, his bosses, would never stand for it anyway. So, how did I find myself daydreaming about the one man I've been forbidden from dating? His mere proximity causes my heart to beat wildly in my chest.

The scowl should’ve been my first clue to stay far away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend? Reasons two and three. Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house. He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack. Until he sees me shatter. Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall.

I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant. The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, he looked more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop... and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me. We shared a moment, but it’s not what you’d think. Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

Being a single dad while managing one of the biggest businesses in New Orleans keeps me very busy. I spend my free time with my daughter, Bella—reading to her, styling her hair, or choosing nail polishes appropriate for an eight-year-old. But I’m okay with that, because she is my whole world. After my divorce, I made myself a promise: I wouldn’t date until Bella was older. Then, all my good intentions go up in smoke when I hire our newest chef for the flagship restaurant in the French Quarter.

My fresh start turned into a dumpster fire. Awesome new job. Small town heaven. Friendly faces galore. Then I strolled into my new home and found the unspeakable. Just when I'm sure it can't get worse, I'm “rescued” by a man who makes me see red for miles. Enter Lucas Graves. A bossy grump with a badge who's sworn to keep me safe. He rocks the scary-hot vibe, he reads too much, and he never misses a chance to give me crap for being a nerdy little cactus who mouths back. Not the type of man I'd go for in my right mind. Definitely not the type I should keep trading bruising kisses with.

Publisher's summary
Sometimes love singles you out when you least expect it—or want it
Harper
Commitment was never my thing. But I've been directionless for far too long. It's time to take on some responsibilities and get my life together. Bidding on my best friend's brother at a bachelor auction didn't help me with that. Neither did having a hot, secret fling with him. Too bad that didn't stop me. Because now I'm in way over my head. And I'm afraid I might not be ready for the biggest commitment of all. Love
Max
I've got more commitments than I can handle. I became a single dad overnight. Between that and my coaching job, I don't have time for romance. Especially not with her. Harper's not only my little sister's friend, she's also my boss's daughter. There are a million reasons why we shouldn't be together. And I can't seem to remember any of them when she's in my arms
Singled Out, book 1 in the Single Dads of Dragonfly Lake series, is an emotional, sexy, opposites attract, small town contemporary romance. Download today and get ready to fall for Harper, Max, and Dragonfly Lake.

Story
The day I left Wilder Valley, I swore I’d never return. My dreams were too big for this small town, and I was determined to make it in LA, even if that meant leaving behind the man I loved. Now I’m back, brokenhearted and publicly humiliated after a colossal breakup live-streamed to the masses. I have no career or money to show for my 23 years away. If I could hide out anywhere else on the planet, I would. Instead, I resort to taking the only job in town. A nanny gig for my high school sweetheart.

Great start to a New series
Singled Out is a small town single dad romance narrated by Sebastian York and Erin Mallon.
This story is about Harper and Max two people at different times in their lives. Harper is younger than Max and best friends with his sister. She’s more free spirited and still trying to get her footing in life. Max is a single dad, a teacher and coach who wants his focus on being a good father. Neither are looking for or want a committed relationship but after Max’s sister convinces Harper to bid on him during a charity auction the two end up in a secret no strings attached fling…..until strings start to form pulling them closer to what they were never looking for..
I enjoyed this audiobook very much. First Erin Mallon is one of my favorite narrators she seems to so seamlessly bring characters to life. She captures the essence of each character she voices and makes them uniquely hers but in such a way that you feel you know the characters. And Sebastian York has such a distinctive voice and style that just worked so well for Max, manly and strong with a soft edge. They were wonderful choices for this book 5 star just for narration alone.
The overall story was good, I really liked the contrast between Harper and Max it gave them a good balance for a solid relationship. Both characters were fantastic and relatable with obvious chemistry. I felt a connection to both characters not only as a couple but separately that made me care about them which made the HEA so much sweeter for me .
I would definitely recommend this listen it’s a good solid romance that has many tropes , single dad, best friends brother, bosses daughter, and age gap, without feeling over the top. I enjoyed the secondary characters (Danny was adorable) and the story flowed well. It’s spicy, it’s emotional, it’s sweet and swoony and I’m definitely excited for more books in the series

Loved it
From the first chapter to the last I was fully invested in single dad Max and free spirit Harper. Narrated by Sebastian York and Erin Mallon they did a wonderful job in bringing the characters and story to life.
This book ticked all the boxes for me and I found the characters easy to relate too. If you want a book with all the feels, then this is for you. I found myself smiling throughout and saying to myself, just one more chapter.
The narrators voices suited the characters and were easy to listen too. Cannot wait for the next book in the series.

I love Dragonfly Lake and you will too
I first fell in love with author Amy Knupp’s sexy, witty small-town romances with Untold, the prequel to the Henry Brothers Series. Each book was wonderful and the last one, Unraveled, gave us a glimpse of Max, one of the single dads who meet regularly in Dragonfly Lake to chill, talk about the difficulty of being a single dad, and just have some man time with others who know where they’re coming from and don’t judge. So imagine my delight at being given an advance listening copy of Singled Out, the first book in the new Single Dads of Dragonfly Lake series, starring – MAX DAWSON!!
I love Dragonfly Lake and all its tentacles: each successive book and series moves forward while also looking back to people you’ve already met. Kind of like finding more family and friends who are somehow all connected to one another. Both Harper Ellison and Max Dawson are from Dragonfly Lake, but that’s about all the have in common.
Harper’s never really left and she’s not sure she ever will because she has no life plan. Not for anything. Not for a career. Not for a relationship. Take life as it comes is her motto. Day-by-day is almost too much commitment for her. Hour-by-hour is better. She’s capable, talented and has friends, but it seems she’s never really finished anything and doesn’t think long-term things work out. Until her friend Naomi dies and she starts thinking about her approach. And until she meets Max Dawson.
Max is one serious guy, and the opposite to Harper in his life plans. Once a football quarterback, he’s now living back in Dragonfly Lake and teaching high school math. He became an instant daddy when his cousin and cousin’s wife were killed in an accident and Max became the baby’s guardian. Little Danny is his whole world, and he takes that responsibility so seriously he actually believes he should not date, much less marry, until Danny is grown. What if something should happen to a woman Max brings into his life? He would subject Danny to another loss, that’s what, and Max will not do that. Certain in his belief and life plan. Until he meets Harper Ellison.
Max is a good man. Serious, generous, caring, dedicated and oh so worried and uncertain. You have to fall in love with him. Harper sounds like a flake on paper, but she’s not. She just won’t take that step to move forward, to find herself. When these two get together it’s amazing. Instant connection and instant attraction. Max drags his feet and resists and resists, but it’s almost like an invisible force is pushing him towards Harper. They agree no strings, no commitment, no future, no one getting hurt, no one getting feelings. But you know – life. And life can be pretty funny. Avoiding, falling, pulling back, and drawn together like magnets – and some hilarious shenanigans involving a llama.
Singled Out is a perfect addition to a wealth of stories that make you laugh, a lot. But you will also feel sad about situations people think they must stay in, and of course there’s the heat. That mad wild attraction that just will not cool down. Amy Knupp creates such a wonderful world, so magic you won’t want to leave.
Thanks to the author and Home Cooked Books for providing an advance listening copy of Singled Out. Knupp’s books are amazing, but in audiobook? Whatever is beyond amazing is what they are. And that’s what Erin Mallon and Sebastian York are – beyond amazing. Erin Mallon is almost always perfect – well, actually, no almost about it, she is always perfect. And Sebastian York did such a terrific blend of that worried daddy and hunky football player thing that it was just tingly. Yes, tingly. We had Knox’s single dad story in Unexpected, and now we’ve had Max’s. But there are a lot of single dads in Dragonfly Lake and I can’t wait to see whose story is up next. I voluntarily leave this review; all opinions are my own.

Good way to start a new series
Book 1 of a new series within a greater universe of interconnected series. You can start here without any confusion. If you have read others, you might get happy at mentions of characters from previous stories.
Harper is dealing with grief at the loss of her friend/roommate, carrying out that legacy, honouring her memory, but also adrift and seeking her own purpose as part of the aftermath.
Max is in a similar boat, dealing with the loss of his cousin, less recent, but the daily reminder of the loss and his responsibilities come from raising a little boy who lost his parents when he was only 6 months old.
Add to the mix that Max is Harper's friend's brother and/or that Harper is Max's boss' daughter, that they have some incredible chemistry, and we're in interesting "keep it secret" territory with a smattering of "don't catch feelings" as part of the deal. We all know how that's going to go.
The audiobook was performed by Erin Mallon and Sebastian York. These seasoned pros always deliver fantastic characters and emotions. Erin had me choking on my feels when we get to the emotional climax of the story. And that special quality that Sebastian has when his characters are being jerks (because of assholery or just general emotional cluelessness) just makes you want to slap him upside the head until he's worked out his feels and makes everything right with a good quality grovel.
I requested and was provided with a copy of the audiobook. These are my honest opinions.

Age Gap Romance
Neither Harper nor Max are looking for a serious relationship. What starts off as a single date brought on by a bachelor auction turns into a secret “no strings attached” fling.
Singled Out is the first book in the new Single Dads of Dragonfly Lake series. This small-town, contemporary romance has a little bit of everything: single dad, boss’s daughter, age gap, and more. There is open-door content.
This one hooked me from the very beginning. Between the juicy plot and the excellent narrators, I listened through most of the book in one day. The chemistry is palpable from the very beginning and it only grows stronger as the storyline progresses. I do appreciate that even when both characters are all in on whatever their relationship is becoming, they are willing to toss it aside if it is detrimental to Max’s child. There is some slight conflict (more like self sabotage) but it resolves itself quickly.
I highly recommend the audio if audiobooks are something you enjoy. Erin Mallon and Sebastian York narrate it and they’re both incredibly talented. I think this is the first book that I’ve heard them both narrate but they sound wonderful opposite of each other. The audio is about 7 ½ hours long.
Singled Out is a great start to a fun new series. I don’t think I’ve come across another romance series that is all about single dads so I’m excited to see where the author takes it. I look forward to reading the rest of the books.
I voluntarily listened to and reviewed an advanced copy of this audiobook. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Singled Out
First, let me say that this is the first book that I have read by Amy Knupp and it will not be the last.
Singled Out is book #1 of the Single Dads of Dragonfly Lake series and it was wonderful.
We meet Max who is a single dad to Danny and he lives his life for his son. Max didn’t have the best family life growing up, so he will not risk doing anything that will hurt or cause Danny any harm. Dakota (Max’s sister) best friend, Harper, needs a date to a fundraiser so that she will not have to go alone and will have someone to lean on. Harper wins Max in an auction, so that he can be her date.
Things progress slowly between Max and Harper, because neither one wants anything serious. What happens when it ends and hearts are broken? Everyone besides Max and Harper knows what’s going on until it’s too late.
Erin Mallon and Sebastian York did a wonderful job narrating Singled Out. I would highly recommend reading or listening to Singled Out by Amy Knupp - You will not be disappointed!

Single dad, bachelor auction, secret fling, brother’s best friend
Thanks to The Author Agency for the eARC and to Home Cooked Books for the ALC.
Singled Out
By Amy Knupp
Narrated by Erin Mallon & Sebastian York
Story Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨(4.5/5)
Narration: 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 (0-5)
Overall: 4.75/5
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥 (0-5)
What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
🤩 Fabulously entertaining and beautiful sounding narrators--perfectly cast.
🤩 New series but back in the small, lake town of Dragonfly Lake. Take me to Earthly Charm.
🤩 The bachelor auction is everything—such an amazing and captivating start to the plot.
🤩 The sweet theme and donation in loving memory of her dear friend—Art Lights Up Lives.
🤩 Everything so beautifully described—the setting, the plot details, the conversations.
🤩 The tropes—single dad (whole series coming of single dads), best friend’s brother, boss’s daughter, age gap (no ick), unwanted physical attraction, secret fling!
🤩 Max’s sister Dakota’s hand in all of it! She’s such a sweet friend and sister.
🤩 Amazing characters and characterization.
🤩 Devoted single dad Max Dawson is a retired NFL player and current P.E. teacher.
🤩 Passionate artist Harper Ellison is a bit lost but trying to find her way in this world.
🤩 The natural care, friendship, trust, and chemistry.
🤩 How they resist the pull and then fireworks when they can’t possibly resist anymore!
🤩 Oh, my hotness—these two definitely have it goin’ on!
🤩 I’m a sucker for a little jealousy.
What I’m Wishing/Dizzy About:
💫 I like Max’s grovel and apology, but some steamy lovin’ after the time apart would help us believe they still have what it takes!
💫 A little more Danny sweetness would be great, especially the bond between him and Harper.
💫 Some counseling would be good for dealing with their trauma.

Witty, poignant, lighthearted listen!
After reading/listening to some darker and heavier themed books, Amy Knupp's Singled Out was just the palate cleanser I needed.
Free-spirited Harper scores the winning bid on a date with her best friend's brother at a charity auction. Said best friend's brother Max is a single dad, recently retired from the NFL, now the local small town high-school football coach.
While each has been peripherally aware of the other, their official date night post-auction serves to awaken them to each other with new eyes, and they both like what they see.
Commitment shy Harper's winding up of loose ends after the loss of a friend and creative mentor leaves her somewhat adrift. Max, also commitment shy, but for different reasons, can't fight his attraction to Harper and the two begin a secret fling.
Will finally acting on their growing attraction be enough to overcome the reasons they tell each other (and themselves) it could never work?
While not without some angst and heartache, this was simply a light and enjoyable listen. Add in the dulcet tones of Erin Mallon and Sebastian York's grumpy gruffness and you have one entertaining audiobook.
Mallon's performance of Harper was, by turns, sweet, sassy, and vulnerable. York's performance as the outwardly gruff but privately tender dad and attentive lover was swoon worthy. Both performed the roles of secondary characters with skill and aplomb.
Singled Out is book one of the Single Dads of Dragonfly Lake, and I am looking forward to listening to future installments.

Sweet and delightful
This is a good story with a few ups and downs. This town feels familiar but not and the backdrop is gorgeous. It gets a bit crazy then settles down nicely. The characters are a single Dad and young lady who wins a date with him are good. He is a little cautious and she is wary of a lot. I liked meeting new people of the town and in the single Dad’s club.
Overall the story is good and the characters are nice but I would have liked a bit more strife and boisterousness with MC or even the secondary. But sometimes things are just easy with a few rough waters and that is this story. I did listen to this on audio. Erin Mallon and Sebastian York do an amazing job on the narration.

It Was Just A Fling
I was entertained by this first book in the "Single Dads of Dragonfly Lake" series. Harper wasn't interested in a long-term commitment. Max became a single dad overnight and was too busy for romance. Harper's winning bid on Max at a bachelor's auction opened some surprising doors for the both of them. Max and Harper were both dedicated and determined to follow their goals. Their romance followed a rocky path which I found entertaining. There was some unexpected humor in this story. There were some steamy scenes. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Erin Mallon's and Sebastian York's dual narrations were enjoyable, and their performances added to the story's entertainment. I was given an early and free audiobook by Home Cooked Books. I have voluntarily posted this review which included my opinions.
