Billionaire’s Club, Book 4
Synopsis: In The Billionaire Single Dad by Mandy Baxter, Carter Christensen takes a much-needed break after a less-than-stellar season as a Dallas Cowboy. He’s ready to go to his cabin with his twin daughters and get a little peace and quiet. But what he doesn’t count on is meeting a woman who will rile him up completely.
Tess Adams is still loving her decision to escape bustling New York-and her cheating boyfriend-behind, and live in a sleepy Texas town. But when a single dad with twins moves in to the cabin across the way, Tess feels anything but peaceful. The more she gets to know the oh-so-sexy Carter Christensen, the more Tess starts to think that she should give up her quiet, safe life, and give into passion.
Review: I enjoyed all the short volumes of this series and I was curious to discover the history of the last brother. Unlike the others, Carter is a widower raising two little girls. This is a very difficult job for a man who is not accustomed to this and who expected to raise his children with the woman of his life before fate took her. This is why, he still lives with her mind at his side. His life will change completely when, during some holidays, he meets with Tess, his pretty neighbor who also seems very attracted to him.
It was interesting to see a father here and it’s true that this is what immediately drew me in the summary. We do not often have the opportunity to have parents and I found it intriguing to see what the author had in store for us. I loved seeing the relationship existing between parents and children, as well as the difficulty to want to reform something with another person. By cons, it is true that ultimately the intimate relationship took too much precedence over the story and I was expecting maybe a little more than that. Then, it’s true that these are short stories so it’s always a bit tricky to add a lot in them. In all cases, I had a good time with our two characters.

I always end up wanting more from novellas or just short novels, but they can be fun when you just want something quick and entertaining. Seems like this is that kind of series for sure:)
Melliane
yes sometimes it’s nice.

It is kind of sad how un-prominent parents are in almost every genre.
Melliane
that’s true
Heidi
Novellas seldom satisfy me as I feel there is always so much more story to tell.
Melliane
totally
Ramona
Hm, I much rather prefer the journey to intimacy than the culmination of it. Still, it sounds like a light, fun tale.
Melliane
yeah me too

Glad to see a single father/parent get some attention.
Melliane
yes

Glad you were still able to enjoy the book. Shorter ones are really hard to balance the romance/plot/etc it seems.
Melliane
they’re quite tricky

Interesting title! Thanks for sharing – not sure I’d be a fan of this one though.

Oop. Single daddy. I’m in! I love those stories. Sounds good even if not quite as great as the others 😀
Melliane
lol

I’ve yet to try Mandy Baxter. I love her UF pen name, Amanda Bonilla. I really need to try this pen name.

You are right, it’s much more common to see a romance with a protagonist who is a single-mom than a single dad. At least this is so with my experience, even though admittedly I don’t read enough of this genre.
Melliane
yes it’s nice sometimes too

Awe a widower and father..tug at my heart strings. I like this author, but haven’t read the series and if it is about brothers than I really should !
Melliane
yes, it’s fun!

The billionaire is a repellant to me, skipped this when I saw that on the cover. From your review, I guess my gut was accurate, this isn’t for me. Great you liked it though
Melliane
sorry about that

I love single dads with little girls. So adorable. And two girl, no less!!! scary for him.
Emma @ Never Judge a Book by its Cover
I agree we really don’t see much of a relationship or steamy stories with dads. It seems we focus too much on the younger ones even though I do love those. I like the sound of this series. Great review! 🙂
Melissa (Books and Things)
Oh I think the father angle would make me want to read this one as well. I can see why this one would have been better if it was longer. Still, not a bad read it seems. Brilly review!
Kim @ BookSwoon
I loved seeing the relationship existing between parents and children I can see how this pulled your attention – what a nice change.
Glad you enjoyed it Melliane 🙂
