With Father’s Day around the corner, we thought this would be the perfect time to show our appreciation for all the fictional daddies that we have fallen in love with. Is there anything sexier than a hot single dad playing tea party with his little princess? Or playing catch with his little man? All he needs is a puppy and I think our ovaries would actually overload. If you, like us, find this irresistible take a look at our Top Ten Dads and let us know if we have missed any of your favourites.
Kim Law played her hands well in this third installment of The Wildes of Birch Bay. She portrays a realistic story of a single dad finding love after divorce, including all the ups and downs that come with it. Gabe and Erica’s story made me laugh, tear up, and fall in love with all the characters in this small town. If you like small town reads with stand up heroes, this series is worth taking a chance with.

Until Lilly by Aurora Rose Reynolds
I think this book with the abundance of adorableness needs to come with a big flashing warning sign saying: MAY INDUCE BABY MAKING FEVER. It’s hard not to get a bit broody after reading about little Jax and his sexy daddy Cash Mayson, and then seeing him reunite with his little daughter Ashlyn. THE FEELS! It’s crazy, but you can’t help but fall in love with this little family. P.S. sorry for all the caps!

To Sir Phillip, with Love by Julia Quinn
This book. So damn adorable. It’s the fifth book in the Bridgerton series and I feel it largely gets overlooked. So, I am here today to advocate for it and get everyone to give it a second look. Phillip has some rather unruly children, who he loves dearly…he just doesn’t really know how to show it. This book, it plays violins on the heartstrings. Not only are you getting a rather smashing romance between Phillip and Eloise Bridgerton but you also get to see the story of them all coming together as a little family. It’s a touching and emotional ride and if you haven’t read it, I recommend you give it a chance.

A new standalone novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Vi Keeland
The night I met Drew Jagger, he’d just broken into my new Park Avenue office.
I dialed 9-1-1 before proceeding to attack him with my fancy new Krav Maga skills.
He quickly restrained me, then chuckled, finding my attempted assault amusing.Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant.
Only, turned out, he wasn’t an intruder at all.Drew was the rightful occupant of my new office. He’d been on vacation while his posh space was renovated.
Which was how a scammer got away with leasing me office space that wasn’t really available for rent.
I was swindled out of ten grand.The next day, after hours at the police station, Drew took pity on me and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. In exchange for answering his phones while his secretary was out, he’d let me stay until I found a new place.
I probably should have acted grateful and kept my mouth shut when I overheard the advice he was spewing to his clients. But I couldn’t help giving him a piece of my mind.
I never expected my body to react every time we argued. Especially when that was all we seemed to be able to do.The two of us were complete opposites. Drew was a bitter, angry, gorgeous-as-all-hell, destroyer of relationships. And my job was to help people save their marriages.
The only thing the two of us had in common was the space we were sharing.
And an attraction that was getting harder to deny by the day.
Mah baby! Farmer Leo Maxwell is one of my favorite Alice Clayton heroes. There, I said it. Take that Simon! Plus one of my favorite heroes in 2015. He’s that good boy next door, protective of family, friendly, funny and devastatingly charming. With a heart of gold and moves that will have your heart skipping a beat. 😉 But when it comes to his daughter… you will simply melt at the sweetness. Plus did I mention the beard? I just can’t resist him.

Forever and a Day from Lucky Harbor by Jill Shalvis
The Lucky Harbor series is no stranger to sweetness and humour but there isn’t actually much of it in Josh’s life. As a doctor and a single dad, he doesn’t have much time to relax. That’s why this happily ever after was so important for him. Josh is as selfless as can be and reading his story will not only make you laugh and cry, but I’m sure he will win over your heart too.

SWEET DREAMS by Kristen Ashley
Kristen Ashley likes to make her heroes dads, which is why I had a hard time of choosing which one I wanted to put on this list. So, in the end I decided to use my all time favourite KA read, I adore this book, I don’t know what it is about it but I love it more each time I reread it. One of the things I love? The hero, the sexy as hell alpha male Tatum Jackson is an adorable dad. I mean, all KA heroes are great dads, but I have such a soft spot for Tate and Jonas.

I’ve read a couple and couple are on my TBR. The Alice Clayton series is one I’ve been eyeing. Lani Lynn Vale’s CENTER MASS is one I really enjoyed. She’s got a couple of others with single dads. I love Ryker in Sawyer Bennett’s RYKER. And, we can’t forget KA’s THE WILL and SOARING. *sighs*
I loved Forever and A Day! Definitely taking a note of all these titles for the future, I love the single dad theme! Thanks for the great list!

Adam from Moon Called is definitely a favorite. I know I have several other books I read because of the father or step-dad aspect, but for the life of me I can’t remember. 🙂
