Dr. Single Dad

De: Louise Bay

Narrado por: Shane East, Zara Hampton-Brown

Unexpected fatherhood, a newborn daughter and a nanny in the next bedroom he can't stop fantasizing about.

When a one-night stand announces I just became a father to a baby girl, my world is thrown into turmoil.

My choice: single fatherhood or sign adoption papers.

The decision is easy.

Within hours, I'm on a plane to collect my daughter.

I’m in over my head. I barely know one end of a baby from the other. Luckily, I have the perfect plan. I’ll hire live-in help, have limited involvement with the kid, and keep my life just the same as it’s always been.

I finally find a nanny who lives up to my exacting standards. But the only problem is, every time I look at her, the future I thought I wanted starts to crumble.

Nothing in my life is going according to plan… and the wriggling poo machine in my arms is unexpectedly worming her way into my heart.

Life was ordered and logical until I got myself two roommates and started falling in love with both of them.

A standalone romance.

Really good story. Love the Coves!

Louise Bay is pretty much always an immediate buy since I discovered her a few years ago. Without question she is one of my favorite authors in the genre. There are so many of her series that I absolutely love and will listen to multiple times. I love the cove family and was so excited to see another installment in the series. This one was a great addition. Dax and Eira(sp?) were great. You can read these as standalone, but don’t! Start from the beginning and you will fall in love with the entire family and will better understand their dynamics. ❤️ such a great series. This makes me want to start the series over. I also appreciate that LB doesn’t make a book unnecessarily long. Perfect length.

Sorry to see this series come to an end!

I have enjoyed this entire series and this book is no exception. I enjoyed Dax's story from start to finish.

Dax, the youngest and quietest Cove brother becomes a surprise single father - and thinks that he can hire a nanny to care for his new daughter before realizing that his life really has changed. Enter Eira the nanny who is looking to ease the financial burdens of her family of siblings after they had been swindled by an uncle and the death of her parents. What the two do not expect is the attraction between them.

This was a well written story that made me sad since it signals the end of this series. The characters were well written and the chemistry between them was palpable at times. I enjoyed the return of the characters from the other books of this series. Overall, this was a great read that I would recommend to others.

a great read

Dr. Single Dad is a great addition to Louise Bay's Doctors series. I loved this book in both ebook and audiobook formats.

Dax has a job he loves and a life he's comfortable in. All that changes, though, when he finds out he's the father of a newborn baby daughter. Suddenly he has to figure out how to take care of his daughter Guinevere when he never wanted to be a parent. Hiring Eira to be the nanny was only supposed to be so he could go back to living his life like he used to. However, Dax quickly finds both Guinevere and Eira mean more to him than he ever expected.

This was a sweet, engaging story. I loved seeing Dax connect with Guinevere at the same time he was falling for Eira. They fit together so well and the unexpected chemistry between Dax and Eira was fun to read. I enjoyed their dual POV and seeing how their feelings grew and changed as they fell for one another.

I can't recommend this book and series enough!

Relationship between new father and baby

I enjoyed how a single dad struggles to be a loving father and balance his work life.

Saving the best for last

It's finally time for us to get to know about the youngest Cove brother, and Dax Cove does not disappoint. A phone call from a one night stand telling him she just delivered their baby in the states rocks his world. This controlled researcher only knows that he can't leave his child with someone else. Grabbing a couple brothers they head to pick up his new daughter and bring her back home. Believing nothing will change for him, but ensuring Guinevere has a home, is cared for, and an education, all this will be as hands off as possible.

Enter Eira looking for a full time nanny position that affords her an income to take care of both her sister and brother after an uncle stole the inheritance they were to receive after their emotionally distant parents died in a helicopter crash. Eira became the loving parent to them both all the while sacrificing her entire self wants, needs, and desires.

After not getting the job and taking a temporary fill in nanny position, Eira finds a woman having a health crisis at a park while with her charge. Lo and behold, it's the nanny Dax hired instead. He sees the error of his choice, and hires Eira after how well she handled the park incident.

Now what nanny is not going to be attracted to a single dad that's trying to navigate being a father that he never planned on being? And what single dad is not going to be drawn to the one woman that sees him for who he is and helps him bond with this unexpected baby girl? Sexual tension, both feeling set in where they are in life, and trying to find out who they are both apart and together. Eira helps Dax to realize he can still be all those things he has wanted to be career-wise, while Dax wants to give Eira everything that she refuses to take for herself. Some push and pull as they figure out how to have it all together.

We get some great Cove family scenes. We find out where our fave couples are in their lives since we last left them in previous books. Some are a bit raw from life but the family is strong and continues to grow. It's very real for some couples.

Leaving the Coves is sad, because we've been with them for so long now through the series, but they won't be gone. Eira's sister is headed to the States and there's no doubt we'll hear about them again soon.

Narrators Shane East and Zara Hampton -Brown deliver as they always do. Perfect narration.

Love the Cove Brothers.

I loved the whole book. Listened to it in a day, couldn’t put it down.

Love the single Dad trope, add a British accent and swoon.

I loved the dynamic between this unexpected single Dad and the nanny. She was sweet and he was grumpy at first but of course he fell in love with both his baby daughter and the nanny. Sweet story and the Audiobook was great. Shane East British accent is beautifully swoony and perfect.

Really Really good

Another great in this series. I really enjoyed this. The narration was fantastic. I’m looking forward to more to come

OMG

I LOVED IT! Listen to this book over the course of two days!! Dax Cove is such a sweet man and so is the nanny. You would have to listen to the book to find out her name. Shane, Louise and the Coves never disappoints.

Love Dax

Dax has a decision to make. Be a single dad and put a kink in your life or sign adoption paper. What does a guy who doesn't know the first thing about being a dad do? Read the book and you'll find out.
