Book Review: Challenged by the Single Dad (The Single Dads of San Camanez: The Brew Brothers #4) by Whitley Cox

 

Blurb: 

What happens when the island prince no longer trusts his instincts, and makes an enemy of the one woman who can make him whole again?

Welcome to San Camanez, a humble, peaceful little island in the Puget Sound and home to the McEvoy brothers. Four sexy single fathers—and one childless snack with a beard—who run a brewpub on the beach, raise their kids together, and hope to find love and happiness in the chaos that is life. This is Dom’s story ...

Single Dad and bartender Dom McEvoy is a workaholic. Despite hardly seeing his kid, he doesn’t trust anybody else to run the restaurant. Not after what happened with his last hire. It’s just easier if he does it all himself. But when his brothers out-vote him and hire a new bartender—who is better than Dom at everything—his temper flares and he instantly wants her gone.

Chloe Voss knows she can’t keep running from the pain of her past. She’s been a nomad for too long. It’s time to set down some roots—even if they’re shallow. So when she gets the job offer at the McEvoy brothers’ restaurant, things finally look as if they’re falling into place. Too bad her boss hates her. Dom challenges her at every turn. He’s grumpy, unpredictable and cold. Whatever, it’s only a job.

Until it’s not.

Until these enemies turn into lovers and their unbridled attraction threatens to blow up the business.
When a winter storm ransacks the island, leaving Chloe abandoned and in danger, Dom will do whatever it takes to save her, even if that means putting his own life at risk.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

Slow start but became very engrossing. Both Dom and Chloe had their losses in the past, which they allowed to keep them from moving forward. The connection between them was hot and hard to fight. I enjoyed their "friendship" as they struggled just the same. With the support of family and new-found friends, Chloe and Dom realized that they needed to let go. I felt that Chloe was well-put together with her bartending skills and generosity with her time in helping others. Dom was grumpy, mostly to protect himself, but he acknowledged his mistakes, even as he made them. Loved this story, the children, and all around them.

I received a copy through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
