Single Chance

A Single Dad Small Town Romance (Single Dads of Dragonfly Lake, Book 3)

De: Amy Knupp

Narrado por: Emma Wilder, Sebastian York

Sometimes all you get is a single chance to turn a surprise into happily ever after…

Chance

One night. That’s all I wanted.

A single night to forget I’m a widowed single dad with a million responsibilities and a ton of emotional baggage. To remember what it’s like to just be a man.

I didn’t need any extra drama in my life. Romantic complications? No thanks. But after that night, everything changed. Forever…

Rowan

Having a one-night stand with a sexy, older stranger was not part of my plan.

All I wanted out of this small town was a place to recover. A fresh start. Maybe even a little New Year’s Eve fun.

I had no way of knowing my hot hookup would be my new co-worker.

Or that I was actually way more fertile than I’d been led to believe…

Sweet and spicy single dad romance!

I love a sweet and spicy single dad romance, and when you throw in a small town, and found family, I am completely hooked! Chance is a widowed single dad of a young teenage daughter, Sam. They moved to Dragonfly Lake for a new beginning after losing his wife. He is struggling with Sam as she tests her boundaries. He thought he would have a relaxing night out with his friends for New Years eve, when a woman catches his attention. Rowan gave up her life to take care of her loving grandmother. Now that she has passed, Rowan's friend invited her to town to start a new life. She is instantly attracted to Chance, and after a fun night of talking and dancing, they continue with a night of fiery passion. But Chance had to slip out when his daughter needed him. Now days later Rowan gets a new job at a brewery and discovers she will be working with Chance. They are both surprised, but find a way to work together. Rowan is making friends and starting to enjoy her new life when she gets another surprise. Chance is stunned to hear he is going to be a dad again from their one night together, but he is soon all in. I fell so hard for Chance, Rowan, and Sam, and loved the sweet family they were making together. This is a sweet, emotional, and steamy story that took on life's complications with honesty, making it feel real and authentic. I loved their friends who were fun and supportive and added so much heart to this story.
Emma Wilder and Sebastian York were brilliant as Rowan and Chance. They portray each character with a perfect balance between humor, heartwarming emotion, and sizzling passion flawlessly. You could definitely feel the chemistry that smolders between Rowan and Chance. They add so much personality to this story, making it even more enjoyable and endearing. This is a wonderfully witty, tender, and steamy story that you can't help but devour as it captures your heart.

Great story and narration

From the first chapter to the last I was fully invested in single dad Chance and Rowan’s story.

This book ticked all the boxes for me and I really liked the characters.

There were moments that had me smiling and laughing. If you want a book with all the feels, then this is the one for you.

Fate often works in mysterious ways and after a one night stand, neither Chance or Rowan expected anything else.

However, life doesn’t always go as planned and that’s what happens to our couple. This was at times an emotional roller coaster of a read and although their journey was not smooth it was worth it.

Narrated by Sebastian York and Emma Wilder they did a wonderful job in bringing the characters and story to life. The narrators voices suited the characters and were easy to listen too.

Loved this!

This is my first book by the author and it won’t be my last! I loved this single dad romance. I didn’t realize it was a part of a series so I can’t wait to read the other books. I was able to follow along fine though without reading the other books.

This book follows Rowan and Chance. And it was clear they were meant to meet. It starts with Rowan and Chance having a ONS and they think they will never see one another again but their lives quickly become interconnected. Rowan is looking for a new start and her new job is the same business where Chance works. Rowan and Chance agree to keep their relationship professional since they are working together and not tell anyone about the one-night stand. But, the situation quickly changes as the book develops.

Chance is a single dad to a teenager and is having a hard time connecting with her. It was really sweet how Rowan wanted to have a relationship with Sam (the daughter) and be someone that would be there for Sam.

I ate the tension up between Chance and Rowan! This book was so sweet and heartwarming but also touching on real events that they were going through. Both of them had great character development.

🎧 Audio Review: Sebastian York and Emma Wilder were fantastic! They are two of my favorite narrators and were so great as Chance and Rowan. They both did great showing emotions of the characters.

Romantic, heartfelt and sweet

What should have only been one night, turns into more. “Single Chance” is a romantic, heartfelt and sweet accidental pregnancy/single Dad romance that was a wonderful addition to the series.

Chance is a widowed single Dad and is able to go out on New Year’s Eve to relax. He wasn’t expecting to meet a woman who captured his interest. Rowan, after caring for her grandmother with dementia, is in Dragonfly Lake looking for a fresh start. The two have a connection and spend the night together. And both are surprised to find out that they are going to be working together at a brewery. And they are even more surprised to find out Rowan is pregnant after their night together.

This was such a sweet and romantic story and I loved everything about it. Chance is an amazing father to his teenage daughter who is still struggling after her mother passed away. His love for her is so deep and he just wants to make sure she’s safe and happy. Rowan is an incredible woman who spent the last few years of her life caring for the woman who raised her. She’s truly selfless and I loved her moving to Dragonfly Lake to be able to reclaim herself. I loved how they were drawn to each other at the party. Them working together was unexpected and I loved that plot twist. And after finding out she was pregnant, these two vowed to work on a solid friendship for their baby. They were solid as friends but I loved them as a couple. They were intune with each other’s needs and so respectful of Chance’s daughter, Sam, and how she would react to everything. Rowan and Chance had a lot to work on and they did it like adults even if Chance got scared for a second. The ending was so sweet and left me with a smile on my face.

Emma Wilder and Sebastian York were so great as Rowan and Chance. Emma did a fantastic job bringing the caring and sweet Rowan to life. And Sebastian was great as Chance. His narration was vulnerable and genuine.

Great characters

Rowan and Chance meet at a New Year's Eve party just as Rowan is changing everything about her life. They have a lovely time and go their separate ways. Then they discover that they are co-workers. Awkward but survivable. Then Rowan discovers that, against all odds, she is pregnant. Unbelievably awkward. However, Chance is a good guy and ready to support her and coparent the baby. But he will not consider a relationship because he is caught up in trying to help his teenaged daughter. That takes most of his energy. But Rowan is so lovable, and she befriends his daughter, and the chemistry is too strong. Chance will have to face his own fears to give this family what they need.
I loved the audiobook of this story. Both of the narrators were terrific. They did a good job with emotionally mature but struggling characters who were trying to hold it together and also with the daughter's character. I meant to only listen to a little bit a day but ended up going right through because it was so good.
