Wicked Love

A Small Town, Single Dad, Sports Romance (The Single Dad Playbook, Book 4)

De: Willow Aster

Narrado por: JF Harding, Samantha Brentmoor, Lily D. Moore - special guest

A sexy, small town, grumpy sunshine, single dad, sports romance from USA Today Bestselling Author Willow Aster. I fell in love with his little girl first. From the moment nine-year-old Becca Fox and I hugged, it was like we’d known each other forever. Precocious, sweet, and kind, I just knew this little girl was exceptional. Her dad, though? Not so much. Bowie Fox checks every box in the looks department—rugged, intense, and the kind of man who makes you forget how to breathe—but his personality? About as warm as a snowstorm.

That is, until we’re seated together at his best friend's wedding, and then…we dance.

For hours.

Beneath that gruff and hard exterior, I catch glimpses of a man who wants to let loose and enjoy life.

After the wedding, when a hotel mixup leaves me without a room and stranded in Landmark Mountain, Bowie invites me to stay in his room. In his bed. It’s innocent at first. Until it’s not. A sizzling one-night stand for the books. Then I wake up alone and when I see him at breakfast, he is as distant as ever. Bowie lets me know his life revolves around Becca, his teammates, and football. He makes it perfectly clear that there is no room for anyone else—especially the bubbly coach of his daughter. As much as our paths keep crossing, I know the broody linebacker isn’t ever planning on falling for me, but when I find out I am pregnant—I wonder, Can he fall for us?

Bowie and Poppy

I love this whole series but I think this is my favorite book so far of the series. While this can be read as a stand alone book, it adds so much when you read/listen to them all, since the characters overlap in each book . This is a sweet love story with very little angst and a bit of steam mixed in.

Bowie and Poppy are incredible together. They hit it off on their first meeting but Bowie has been burned in a relationship before and has closed himself off. Poppy slowly melts those walls down till he can admit his feelings.

Samantha Brentmoor and JF Harding did an amazing job narrating this book and with Lily D Moore made the perfect cast for this book.

I was given an ALC to listen to and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Beautiful

This story was absolutely beautiful. I loved the rep! Bowie and Poppy were such a good balance for each other. Poppy was exactly what Bowie and Becca needed. This audio was absolutely incredible. I also loved the dad group so much throughout this series. I felt they were all a bid more prominent throughout this story and loved every second of them. This story absolutely captured my heart. Bowie definitely fumbled a few times in the beginning, and more than made up for it. I also really loved that the rolls were a bit reversed. Usually it’s the woman afraid the man will up and leave, but Bowie had some real abandonment issues. I love how he can Poppy were able to really communicate and build their life together! I loved that they loved each other so out loud. Also Poppy’s issue with blurting things out was utterly hilarious! I’m so excited for our last boy to get his HEA!

Great Book! 🤩

Book 4 in the Single Dad Playbook Series is an absolute gem! I adore Bowie and Poppy—such a heart-melting pair—and Becca is the sweetest character who adds so much warmth to the story. Watching the three of them grow into a family was truly beautiful. I was hooked from the very first page and couldn’t turn the pages fast enough! Their journey to a happily ever after had me completely invested. Highly recommend this one if you're looking for a heartfelt, feel-good read! 💜💙
