When the latest instalment of her ‘Divorced Men’s Club’ dropped, I one-clicked that baby so fast my screen nearly cracked.
If you follow me on social media, you’ll already know I’m a HUGE fan of Saxon’s books. I devoured it in a single sitting and am already considering a reread. There was one scene in particular (if you’ve read it you know what I’m talking about) that had tears of laughter rolling down my cheeks. Not only was Steele the perfect person for Porter to end up with, but the journey that KM Neuhold took us on along the way was hysterical. Crankshaft delivered everything it promised and a heap more. After seeing him keeping his upbeat nature after the many rejections, I (along with many other fans!) have been dying to see Porter get his HEA. The sweet Veterinarian pops up in several of her Four Bears books, normally as a date for one of the main characters who we know is going to end up with someone else. She creates characters you can’t help but fall in love with – one of whom is Porter. (If you’re not a KM Neuhold fan – WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? I can’t link her whole backlist here, but start with Caulky or Rocket Science)Īs we know, KM Neuhold is the Queen of found family and sweet low-angst romances. Now, if you’re a KM Neuhold fan, you will understand IMMEDIATELY why I have been (very impatiently) waiting for this book. It was lovely to see characters from previous books making an appearance, and also meeting some new ones! I cannot wait to see what all the teachers get up to in AJ’s spin-off series that is coming later this year.
Although the romance was definitely front and centre throughout, the other obstacles they faced, and the realisations about themselves and what they both want from the future, made the HEA feel all the sweeter. Something that particularly stood out with this novel, is the fantastic character arcs both Mitch and Charlie had. This plot point, coupled with the fact that Mitch is Charlie’s boss, injects a great level of tension for the characters. Set in a small-town, this sweet romance sees the perpetually single bar owner, Mitch, falling head over heels for his ‘straight’ bartender…who also happens to be his daughter’s ex-boyfriend. And with age-gap, boss/employee, and bi-awakening, what more could I ask for? Having enjoyed the first two instalments in the ‘Single Dads Club’ I have been looking forward to the release of this one.
