Father Found

The Daddy School, Book 1

De: Judith Arnold

Narrado por: Tom Dheere

Jamie McCoy is the ultimate guy: 30 years old, carefree and professionally successful as the writer of a nationally syndicated humor column called "Guy Stuff". Nine and a half months ago, he spent a week basking on the beach in Eluthera and indulging in a fling with a woman at the resort. Never did he expect to find the unplanned result of that fling - a healthy, wailing baby named Samantha - strapped into a car seat on his back porch, along with a suitcase full of diapers and infant apparel and a note informing Jamie that he's her father.

Maybe he is and maybe he isn't. But first things first. He's never fed a baby or changed a diaper in his life. He doesn't own a crib or a stroller. In a panic, he phones the nearest hospital, where neonatal nurse Allison Winslow takes his call and tells him about a class she teaches called the Daddy School.

Classes on how to be a dad are exactly what Jamie needs. But when he attends his first class and sees the tall, earnest, amazingly beautiful and even more amazingly competent Allison, he realizes that he might just need more from her than her lectures on how to hold a baby.

Jamie's efforts to be a father to this precious baby touch Allison. His sense of humor amuses her. His striking good looks turn her on. But how can she trust the sort of guy who'd sleep with a stranger on vacation, without giving a thought to the consequences? How can she give her heart to such a reckless man?

Winner of the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award! Book One of Judith Arnold's popular Daddy School series.

Just okay

I feel the author was attempting to create characters who were greatly in love yet in conflict about that love. However i didn't find the characters to be particularly believable. I didn't think the writing was quite strong enough to make me understand and sympathize with their plight. I did enjoy the father's interaction with his daughter and having baby at home myself I found the humor in it entertaining. the performance was okay but I did have difficulty telling when the performer was switching between characters.

Oh daddy

I got the biggest kick out of this story. It was so easy to imagine Jamie floundering around being a dad that I couldn't help but snicker while falling a little in love with him.

A Humorous Romantic Comedy!

Yes. I found this book to be very funny and quite entertaining! I loved hearing the mans point if view about having a new baby around.

What other book might you compare Father Found to and why?

I don't like to compare books because if someone doesn't like the book I compared it to, then they wouldn't like this book & that just isn't a fair judgement.

What about Tom Dheere’s performance did you like?

I enjoyed his voices! Tom does a really good job narrating this story. He adds all the excitement & humor when & where it is needed!

Would you listen to Father Found again? Why?

*
Fun, endearing sweet, hilarious and wonderful book! This book is not hard to review at all. A free feeling bachelor is going through life having fun, occasional hookups and all of that.

That all changes one day when he goes out on his back porch and finds a baby in her car seat with a note attached saying the child's name is so Samantha. What's a guy to do?

In an absolute panic, he makes a frantic call to the hospital is and is put in contact with the nurse named Allison.

Allison is gorgeous, kind and caring, but she doesn't realize it. After hours, she is teaching a daddy class for young, expectant men to help them to adjust to the time with the upcoming birth of their children. However Jamie shows up with baby in hand!

First impressions and miscommunication follow and things turn hot and then cold with all the twists and turns that make a good book.

I recommend, recommend, recommend! Very Chic Lit!

The narrator Tom Dheere is fantastic. He is in his element as Jamie McCoy, the 30-year-old man, however he is a storyteller! He speaks in a confident manner, a vulnerable manner in a way that makes you feel that you are right there. His flawless execution of each of the characters from children to grandparent age is flawless,

Note: mature themes
