Kemp
I went from carefree to single dad overnight, and I’m in way over my head.
My life was already packed—firefighter shifts, running a brewery—but nothing prepared me for this. Or for how much I need Anna.
She steps in without hesitation, like she always does. But keeping things to just friends is even harder than being a dad.
We’re living in close quarters, sharing responsibilities, and building something that looks a lot like a family.
Now I’m falling for my best friend—and I don’t know how to stop.
Anna
Loving Kemp has always been my secret. Safe. One-sided. Controlled.
Until now.
Helping him means stepping into his world—into forced proximity, quiet moments, and a life that feels dangerously like mine.
The more time we spend together, the harder it is to pretend I don’t want more.
Because this isn’t just a crush anymore. It’s everything.
And if he doesn’t feel the same… I could lose the one person I can’t live without.

I usually get frustrated with friends to lovers stories. The protagonists are usually throwing up their own roadblocks. The story line usually consists primarily of just teenager-like angst. Not so with Single Desire.
The story has interesting and believable twists on its way to the happily ever after.
The characters have depth. They seem believably human, with strengths and flaws.
My only complaint is that there are so many minor characters, mostly borrowed from previous books in the Single Dad series. I have read the other book, although not recently. It was difficult to keep them straight.
Wonderful ending to this series. Kemp and Anna are a great picture of a relationship stemming from friendship. Toss in the appearances of prior characters (and llamas) and it has all that is needed for a satisfactory ending.
I rate this book as “Adult” to include:– (Note: rating description below borrowed from another site)
• May contain profanity (or words considered crude)
• May contain passionate and extended kissing
• May contain one or more onscreen semi-detailed or detailed love scenes
• May also contain non page but descriptive intimacy scenes
• May contain graphic descriptions of nudity and/or body
• May contain drug, alcohol or tobacco use
This book is pushing all the right buttons for me: small town setting, single dad, firefighter, friends to lovers. I liked how a tragedy turned into something wonderful for Anna, Kemp and his son Oliver.
One of my very most favorites! I really enjoyed reading about Kemp’s and Anna’s friendship and how they looked after each other in such a loving way! This is an excellent feel good story! Thank you Amy for consistently writing such top notch stories!

I loved this book, it was a nice way to start summer vacation. The characters were believable. Esmeralda the llama is always a treat. I always appreciate Amy’s editing of the text, it makes reading so much easier.
