    I instantly fell in love with Alex and Callie. From the very beginning, their connection felt so genuine and pure, it was impossible not to root for them. This story took me through every emotion. I found myself constantly trying to understand where each character was coming from, and let me tell you, Courtney Roberts put me through it in the best way possible. The emotional depth, the tension, the payoff… perfection. And let’s talk about the age gap. This trope can be tricky, but this story was handled beautifully. It never felt creepy or forced. It felt real, respectful, and romantic. If you’re a fan of emotional reads with just the right amount of spice and a love story that feels meant to be, this one will definitely make you feel all the feels.

    ****spoiler alert****
    I actually feel that this story is more of a 3.5 star, but I rounded it up to 4 because it is such a sweet story. Themes include second chance at love, secrets, surprise pregnancy, angst, and age gap. Callie Jo's recent break up with her cheating fiancé find comfort and friendship with her best friend's father, Alex. He's also had a bad marriage that ended in divorce. There is no real yuckiness to their relationship - there was no attraction to each other prior to their re-meet when Callie Jo is almost 30. Their common regrets that their past relationships didn't work out, leads to them falling for each other. Alex wants to take care of Callie. To make her feel the love she deserves. There is some great angst for this story when Alex's daughter finds out. But everything works out in the end and Callie and Alex find the love they were always meant to have.

    There are some spicy scene and oh how the author describes Alex *bites lip*. So hot (spicy scenes and Alex lol)!

    Very fast and not it a good way, in a choppy skipping way. And everytime it was alex pov I just couldn't get it to the book he seemed kinda whinny and to be honest just over the top. But that's just my opinion and I do think the book was decent just not really someone I'd read again or recommend

    "My Best Friend's Dad" by Courtney Roberts is a cute age gap story filled with spice and sweet romance. I really liked the chemistry between the characters, and I'm a sucker for forbidden/taboo tropes. This story was beautifully told. The characters felt real and deep, and the storyline moved along gracefully without feeling rushed. The emotions and torn relationship, which was later rebuilt, felt genuine and not contrived. Plus, the surprise pregnancy trope adds an extra layer of excitement to the story. I enjoyed this read very much.

    I think this is a theme your either into or not. I've never found best friends dad books very appealing so that was a large part of my two star rating. What I managed to read was decent so if this is your jam go for it, it's worth a try.

    Cute age gap story with spice and sweet romance. The characters fell for each other really fast. After, I felt like parts of the story could have moved along faster. I enjoyed the details given to the characters and the overall storyline. A quick read.

    The book kept me locked in. I couldn’t stop reading knowing that Cal found her Prince Charming. This will be a book I could read over and over again

    Reviewed in Canada on December 11, 2024
    This book is a favourite for sure. Yes the trope is “my best friends dad”. But it is so much more. The sweetest romance, with the drama, angst, romance and steam that makes it SO good! I’m sad it is over.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 20, 2025
    I wasn't sure whether I'd enjoy this book or not however I'm pleasantly surprised. The tension, chemistry and passion between the FMC and the MMC is heated and written to draw the reader in, my only gripe is that the word 'baby' is massively overused. Nevertheless I have thoroughly enjoyed reading and seeing the characters development from start to finish.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Yummy daddy romance
    Reviewed in Australia on January 21, 2025
    This was one of those books which I still think about after having read it.

    There is something about these characters and their chemistry that keeps my mind drifting back to their story. A beautiful story with a delicious age gap, best friends dad and an accidental pregnancy. A protective and loving MMC with a big heart. A great read! There were tears and laughs and it was an all round feel good.
