Summary
Loving yourself is the first step on the road to healing.
Welcome to Seattle, the Emerald City and home to the Single Dads of Seattle. Ten sexy single fathers who play poker every Saturday night, have each other's backs, love their children without quarter, and hope to one day find love again. This is Mitch's story....
Single dad of Seattle Mitch Benson can't move, can't blink, can't think, let alone do his job and photograph the woman on stage. Every fiber of his body wakes up when Paige McPherson starts to dance. She pours out her heart, bares her grief and pain for the world to see - the same grief and pain that has ruled his every waking moment since his wife passed and left him to raise their daughter alone. Paige is dancing his truth, and in that moment, Mitch knows his life is going to change.
Paige never thought she'd notice a man again, but there's no ignoring Mitch - or the message in the photographs he takes. Learning to dance has reignited her passion for life and shattered the protective shell she's built around her heart. That's not good - no matter what anyone else says, it's her fault she lost her son, and while she's on the healing path, it's a long journey and one she's determined to take alone.
Mitch knows Paige thinks she doesn't deserve a second chance at love, but he can't bear to back away from the one woman who makes him feel alive again. He's willing to fight for their future, whatever it takes. Paige can't deny her attraction for Mitch, but moving forward means betraying her past. Now she's faced with a new dilemma - quit her job as the head pastry chef at a very prestigious Seattle restaurant and strike off on her own, or stay working for the boss from hell. Paige isn't sure she's ready for all the changes.
Can the single dad save her in time? Or will grief and indecision swallow her whole?
Note: This book can be listened to as a stand-alone. It includes lots of steamy scenes, cursing, and of course as with all my books, this has an HEA and no cliff-hanger or cheating. If you like single dads who take charge, this book is for you.
Trigger warning: discussion of past child loss, miscarriage, and self-harm.

Paige is struggling with severe depression after the loss of her son and struggle with infertility. Her ex-husband and she are still close friends, and she works to keep her mental health and spirit strong as she regroups and grows. After all, her daughter needs all of her mother, too.
Mitch and Paige discover they have mutual friends in common, but they also learn that they can heal and move forward in the right direction. Paige’s progress with her mental health is hard-won, but she knows better than anyone that old patterns can be hard to beat. Mitch knows no one can replace his wife, but he has a second chance at real love if he can only convince Paige that it’s there for her too;.
Really enjoyable book about adult love and new chances at family and romance.
This story was a sweet surprise and a complete joy to listen to!

First off, the title doesn't sound like my thing. I prefer strong heroines and would be much more likely to go for something called "Saved by the Single Mom". The actual events of the story didn't make the h seem helpless, so don't rule it out because of the title.
I was also really hesitant--and I mean REALLY hesitant-- about the h being the brother in law's ex-wife given the circumstances of her divorce (disclosed earlier in the series). The storyline somehow made the relationship seem acceptable, and I appreciated the dueling banjo references. This book had very extended steamy scenes (definitely no closed doors).
So why did I listen to the book when I wasn't sure I'd like it? Because I like the series and really want to make it to Liam's story AND (even more important) it's narrated by the fabulous team of Matt Hicks and Stella Hunter. The two of them did an excellent job with the narration and onomatopoeia added some extra fun to the audiobook. It was very low angst and I'm so glad that I took a chance and listened to it.
Note - There are references to past events with miscarriages and a stillborn baby that could be a possible trigger. They aren't events in the present storyline.

Both Mitch and Paige have emotional history , that has scared them Mitch is a l photographer and one day sees Paige dancing and takes pictures of her. She is intrigued by him. She wanted to know him but is not interested in a relationship. This book has some triggers in it. Their love takes you through a beautiful journey.

Narration by Stella Hunter and Matt Hicks
Single Dads of Seattle book 3
I think we all could fall for these single dads of Seattle. While all are in a club for single dads and each will likely have their own story each are as unique and different as each couple. Each of the characters become friends, that you want to succeed and show us supporting characters that you want to hear more about.
This book is Mitch and Paige’s story.
We met both of these characters and their children in the prior books so it was like coming home hearing their story here.
Both of them have had a tough time in the past and both are working on their futures. What I really love about this series are the real situations that pull you into the story.
Mitch has admired Paige through her connection to his sister’s dance studio and is smitten by her. Taking many photos of her while she dances. Paige has dealt with a lot in the past yet is working on making a better future so she can be a larger part of her daughter’s life. A daughter who is part of her ex’s life as well as her daughter’s teacher at the same dance studio, and from the shared experiences of both of their connections with family they become friends first. It was great seeing these two souls who experience loss come together in support for one another building a future.
Stella Hunter was perfect for Paige as well as both of the girls. Her voice shows Paige’s emotions, her vulnerability facing her future and her determination to making the future she wants to happen. Matt Hicks is new to me and was great as Mitch. Mitch is considerate and knows the loss of a loved one so he was great as a support for Paige as she tries to transition out of her past and Matt was awesome at showing the supportive guy who didn’t force himself into Paige’s life. Another awesome book about a couple that are meant for each other and who deserve a HEA. I love how the books are inter-connected and that we hear about past characters as well as hear about the other single dads. I love the banter, laughter and support of the Single Dads Club and can’t wait for books on the others to come.

Paige has been struggling a bit but recently found dance as an outlet, which has helped her tremendously. She is also a pastry chef and has found a lot of success with her work. She has visitation with her daughter due to some things she has gone through and is working to be the best version of herself she can be while trying to be the best mom she can be to her daughter. She is not looking for love. It is funny how life works though and gives you what you need even when you don't know what that is. Mitch isn't looking for love either, but isn't necessarily opposed to it. He is a full-time father to his daughter after the death of his wife and a photographer.
I really liked Mitch and Paige together but I absolutely adored Mitch in general. He was caring, patient, giving, compassionate and just all around amazing. I loved that Paige recognized her need for help and asked for it and was doing all she could to makes things better for herself. She had been through so much. And I really liked how she gained enough confidence to eventually stand up for herself.
I think Mitch and Paige had some great chemistry. I would have liked to have seen some more scenes involving Paige and Mitch's interactions with their children to highlight those growing relationships as they turned into a family, but overall I really enjoyed this book.
I thought the narration of the story was overall well done and enjoyable. Stella Hunter was absolutely fantastic and highly enjoyable to listen to. Matt Hicks also did a good job. I did struggle a little when some of the voices were done for other characters but those were much smaller parts. #PinkFlamingoProductions #TheFlock
Absolutely Loved Mitch! Great Story!
