Sometimes love singles you out when you least expect it—or want it

Harper

Commitment was never my thing. But I've been directionless for far too long. It's time to take on some responsibilities and get my life together. Bidding on my best friend's brother at a bachelor auction didn't help me with that. Neither did having a hot, secret fling with him. Too bad that didn't stop me. Because now I'm in way over my head. And I'm afraid I might not be ready for the biggest commitment of all. Love

Max

I've got more commitments than I can handle. I became a single dad overnight. Between that and my coaching job, I don't have time for romance. Especially not with her. Harper's not only my little sister's friend, she's also my boss's daughter. There are a million reasons why we shouldn't be together. And I can't seem to remember any of them when she's in my arms

Audiobook review:  Narrated by Sebastian York and Erin Mallon

4 stars for story / 5 stars for performance

This has the feel of a light forbidden romance in that Harper is Max's boss' daughter. I do love the will they / won't they feel of a friends-with-benefits romance. It's always fun while reading to anticipate who will fall first. I did love that both main characters were pretty firm in their desires to avoid a commitment until one of them wasn't. I also really liked the friends and family group in this series starter. The single dads aspect is wonderful, and I love reading about so many men willing to put their kids first. I can't wait to continue with this series.

The audio aspect was great. I will sing the praises of Erin Mallon every time I listen to her. She is a master at this craft and it's so enjoyable to listen to her voice not only her main character, but also the male counterpart and any side characters as well. Sebastian York is always a favorite of mine. I could listen to him talk for hours, which is a great thing when starting an audiobook. 

Great audio!

Emotional, sexy, opposites attract, age-gap, small-town vibes! I’m here for it!

Thanks to the author, Amy Knupp, and the team at HomeCooked Books for providing me with an advanced audio review copy of this book. All opinions provided in this review are entirely my own.

Singled Out is the first book in the new “Single Dads of Dragonfly Lake” series by Amy Knupp. It features Harper Ellison and Max Dawson. Harper is besties with Max’s almost 10 years younger sister, and Max is a former NFL quarterback who now works at the local high school as a football coach and maths teacher for Harper’s dad. Even though they already know people in each other’s lives, they actually initially meet at a charity auction. Harper’s bestie dares Harper to bid on her brother Max in order to help Max get out of the house, and have some fun as Max recently, and unexpectedly, became a single dad. Both Harper and Max have no time or want any commitments; Max has a toddler to take care off and is sceptical of bringing a woman into his child’s life in case it doesn’t work out. Meanwhile, Harper is a bit of a commitment-phobe in all areas of her life, including her career and her romantic life. However, they have such a strong connection and have tons of chemistry, they simply can’t be apart. So, they decide to have a causal, friends with benefits situation. Of course, this progresses into something more.

This was such a sweet romance and Amy Knupp always kills it with the small-town vibes. I really enjoyed seeing both Max and Harper progress and grow in their individual lives, as well as, their relationship with one and another. I also enjoyed seeing the friendships the MCs have with the supporting characters all over the town. I look forward to continuing in this series.

The audio was excellent and was narrated by Erin Mallon & Sebastian York. They were both so good individually, but also complimented each other well. They were able to bring the story and its characters to life. I recommend this book in any format, but especially, in audio.

4.5 Stars!

Spicy in both the warm and the sexy varieties. Not just because Sebastian Yorke has the most beautiful deep timbre but also because the story is that of single dad meets I've sworn off men woman who wins him in a bachelor auction. Plus she is narrated by Erin Mallon, another of my top go-to narrators. The two bring the story to life, we believe in every word, we are absorbed by their story, wishing everything to work out for them and wanting to find ourselves in Dragonfly Lake which sounds idyllic.

Max had to leave the NFL owing to injury. Now he is a coach and a single dad who has been strong-armed into a bachelor auction supporting art in education, he is reluctant to be there mostly because his young son, Daniel, is at home with a cold, Max's mum as babysitter. He is a single dad so he has a lot on his hands and absolutely no room for love. Then there is his family, a sister who he loves to worry about and a little too much on his mind for love. At least that is what he thinks...

Harper has been a long time without direction in her life, not knowing what she wants to do, not helped by her commitment phobia. She knows it is time to take on some responsibility and get her life together. She is at the auction, supporting the cause in honour of her friend, Naomi, who has sadly passed. She has money left by Naomi to spend on the charity and thinks she might bid. Attending the evening with Dakota, Max's sister, she is urged to bid for Max ~ ten years older, very handsome and working for her dad...!

She takes a chance, bids and what follows is a thilling, sensual, sexy, funny relationship that Harper worries is rocketing her towards the biggest ever commitment... Love and for Max, well this is his sister's friend, his boss' daughter and he is sure there are reasons they shouldn't be doing this but can he remember them? Not at all. They have both surprised themselves with the relationship they are building but can they find a way to put all their doubts aside and allow their feelings some freedom for the future we wish they will have.

A lovely story, funny, sexy, heartfelt and narrated with a wonderful passion.

💜 Single dad

💜 Bachelor auction
💜 Grief/loss (off page)


I think my favourite part of this book was that it wasn’t an insta-love. Our FMC Harper is anti-commitment, and the MMC Max is all about raising his son.


The story is well-written with great character development. There's just the right amount of spice and angst to keep you hooked.


The narrators knocked it out of the park again. Neither are new to me, in fact both are favourites of mine so I went into this knowing that the quality of acting was going to be really high - and I wasn’t disappointed!

I really enjoyed this story. It was full of family, love, & friendship. I think the chemistry between Max & Harper was instant. Their connection grew & took them both a bit by surprise. I love Max’s passion for keeping Danny safe and putting him first. He was such a good dad, and watching him struggle with being a single parent was real!
The passion and chemistry between Max & Harper was great, they were so different and so good for each other.
I am looking forward to reading the next Dragonfly Lake story
Sebastian York and Erin Mallon are 2 of my favorite narrators and they both did such an amazing job with this story.
