Length: 7 hrs and 14 mins

Publisher's summary

Life isn't a fairytale. Sometimes you have to fight for happily ever after. And sometimes you just have to let go.

Josh Bennett:

It was a simple offer.

I invited Isla to rent a room in my 5000-square-foot home. Plenty of rooms and plenty of space. But the second she moved in, I knew I was in trouble. I could handle wanting her when there was distance between us, but once we started to play house, all my pent up desire started knocking down walls.

That was my first mistake of many.

The private investigator I hired to track down my ex found her not far from where I live. I should have locked my past behind me, but something urged me to find her. I'm glad I did. But our union left me with a situation to be reckoned with.

When a new fire is lit and old flames rekindle, one will have to burn out.

The decisions I'll have to make won't be easy.

No matter what I choose, my heart will break.

Surprise Baby with a slightly different twist

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes and no. I would recommend it based on performance, but the storyline content seemed to need a fuller plot. Also there was a technical error and repeated chapter 5 twice.

Would you be willing to try another book from M. Clarke? Why or why not?

Sure. I didn't hate it, I just felt it was okay. I'm always willing to give things a second try.

Have you listened to any of Desiree Dunne’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Not that I recall, but her performance was good. She had enthusiasm and emphasis in her acting. The only thing I felt could have been different was that during some of the hotter scenes she would sound too breathy, or if it was a long stretch of speech by the end in a few parts she sounded a little winded.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This was an easy book to listen to, but I did put it down a few times and come back to it. Mostly because the character annoyed me.

Any additional comments?

This book was okay, story wise. Parts of it just wasn't my cup of tea. The blurb makes it seem as there is a bit of a love triangle, but as I was listening to it, I was unable to find ANYTHING appealing about his past relationship that would make it feel like the Hero had to choose between women. The baby mama was annoying and just felt like a trashy gold digger, and how the H interacted with her made him less appealing too. Isla the heroine was great, by far best character in the book, and was enjoyable all around. I felt that some of the dialogue could have been written a little more fluent, because it didn't always sound natural, in the way a persons speech would be on average, other than that it was okay. I received this audiobook for free from the narrator, author, or publisher, for my unbiased review.

An easy romantic listen

If you could sum up Sexiest Dad Alive in three words, what would they be?

love conquers all

What was one of the most memorable moments of Sexiest Dad Alive?

I loved the scene where Josh and Isla's friend worked with Josh to bring them back together in the fake photo shoot. It was a cute way to get her to talk to him again and it had it's funny moments too even with the tension.

Have you listened to any of Desiree Dunne’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, this was my first book. I enjoyed her reading, it was an easy listen without any quirks that some narrators have.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reactions to this book. It was an easy listen that I was able to listen to in one day. It was a nice listen that while I enjoyed I wouldn't say it was my favorite romantic book and I wouldn't be jumping to buy any of this other author's books

Josh and Isle were worth reading about

In Sexiest Dad Alive, the third book in the Knight Fashion series can be read as a stand alone as well as part of the series. It is about a great friendship that develops over time to become much more. There were times I laughed out loud as well as felt the range of emotions the memorable characters experienced at the time. I am new to M. Clarke as an author, but after this book, I am interested in reading more from this series.

In this book, you meet Josh Bennett. He has really made a name for himself in the modeling industry. He works with his best friends and is even nominated for the Sexiest Man title. He lives with his best friend Isla, who also happens to model for Knight Fashion. All aspects of his life are finally going in the direction he wants, until he finds his past has been holding a secret. Not just any secret, but an 11 month old, who completely captures his heart from the very start. As he adjusts to his new life as a dad, he finds many roadblocks, but through it all he never looses sight of what he wants most.

PS - Desiree Dunne only enhances the work of M. Clarke in the audio version of this story. I am new to her as a narrator as well, but I found myself needing to know what would happen next as I listened to this story.

Loved it

It was nice reading a story between josh and Isla. I’m glad they finally crossed that line but like always there are people who try to bring trouble and you have to sacrifice. Well in their case you have to read to find out what happens. I recommend the read. It funny and romantic.

An amazing read!

Sexiest Dad Alive

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes, I appreciate that the couple doesn’t take the whole book to get together. I haven’t read the previous books but I'm sure their story has been building up. For me I thought there was just enough story before and after they started dating.

What did you like best about this story?

Even though the stuff with the baby is unrealistic I’m ok with it because I read books and watch movies to get away from stress so I enjoy stories where the baby is a little angel. And the length of the story was perfect.

Any additional comments?

I received this book free for review.

Great as a Stand-Alone or in the Series

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. I'm one to like to listen to books in a series in order in case I need to know back-history of characters so I don't miss anything. I went ahead and purchased the first two ebooks/audible upgrades in the series from my wishlist/TBR, but was please to find that I didn't have to once I got to this 3rd book in the series. I enjoyed the characters and stories so much that I looked up the other books by the author and found the Knight Brothers have their own series that is also on my wishlist/TBR, so I'm buying the ebooks/audible upgrades as I can since I am now very invested in these characters and want to know the origins of the Knight Brothers, their stories and company that leads to Knight Fashion series. I highly recommend not only this audiobook, but the writer and other stories/series.

Enjoyable Listen

Where does Sexiest Dad Alive rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's not one of my top books

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Story overall was enjoyable just wish the characters were more developed

Would you listen to another book narrated by Desiree Dunne?

Yes. She was a good narrator

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No laughter or tears. I was irritated with Josh taking so long to put his ex in check

I didn't do my background tjekup

I was given this book from the auther for a review. It has taken me some time to make this review. because I was not sure how i felt about it.
sometimes when i get a book from an auther that is new to me. I dont read about it before I start it. I dont really want to Know how others feel about it before I read/listen. I did this with this book. And after the first houer where i felt like i was missing something to understand it all. I found out it was not the first in a series... big mistake from me. because if i had read the other books before I think i would have liked it more.
when all this is said. it is a good story. I love the chemestry between them and that he knows what he wants. The sexualy energi is really hot.
for once they have equal jobs so one si not Richter then the over i mens I love a macho man But i like it when the woman is not a damsel and is helpless without a man.

Easy Listen and I liked Isla

So this is supposed to be a standalone story but is not first in the series of interconnected characters. i think it seemed like it might be best to read the other books first because the beginning of the story jumped right in and I felt like I was missing some key pieces of information about the H and h since I hadn't read any of the other books in the series. i really liked the heroine, Isla, i felt like she was mature and thoughtful i loved watching her character unfold throughout the story! however, i could not say the same for the Hero, Josh. i felt he didn't stick up for Isla when it counted and he didn't have much of a backbone. as for the narrator, i liked her voice, it was enjoyable. in the beginning, it seemed her voice went into a hoarse whisper a lot when she tried to go into the male characters' voices, however, towards the middle and end of the story, i didn't notice that anymore and i felt she did a great job with all the characters' voices.
