Amy Knupp pens another fabulous novel set in her “Single Dads of Dragonfly Lake” series, a small-town friend-to-lovers romance that warms your heart and captivates your attention. The single dads get together to share stories, tips, and support one another, and each book in the series features a member of that special group, and their story stands on its own. The sixth book in the series focuses on Kemp and Anna, who grew up next door to each other and became best friends, deeply connected and each other’s person. Kemp keeps a busy schedule between his job as a brewmaster and a volunteer firefighter, and adding an infant son into the mix, a son he just learned about, is stretching him to the limit, actually beyond his limits. In way over his head, he turns to his bestie, Anna, who agrees to help by moving in. Somewhere along the way, their feelings for one another morphed into something deeper than friendship, but by the signals he sent, she assumed he was not interested, which was far from the truth. He cherished their friendship so much that he was afraid to take the next step, afraid it would jeopardize what they had. It was great watching these two navigate their new situation, learning how to take care of baby Oliver, becoming a team, and with their newfound proximity, the feelings they hid for one another got harder to hide. I loved all the layers of the story and how it all played out, with the perfect balance of drama, angst, charming and heartwarming moments, heartfelt emotions, and a slow-burning, but so worth the wait romance. As always, the writing, plot, and world-building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development, including some side characters. I also loved how the not-so-single dads welcomed him with open arms, and it was great seeing them again, too. Amy Knupp, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 Amy Knupp casts the perfect narrators to bring her characters to life. Willa Jaymes and Lee Samuels did an incredible job voicing the characters and delivering a spot-on portrayal of each. They embodied their characters completely, grasping every facet of their personality and their every emotion, making you feel each one. Jaymes was a natural in Anna’s role, empathetic, sweet, and caring, and Samual was just as amazing as Kemp, protective and determined. Both are fantastic at performing the roles of the side/secondary characters, too. These two make a fabulous team, with voices and talent that complement each other and an engaging performance that is entertaining and hooks you to the story.
