Romance Contemporary

Jordan Del Toro is the event planner for her brother Max’s upcoming wedding in Charming, Texas. Jordan’s happy for her brother, but she’s worried about running into her ex-boyfriend, Rafe Reyes. Rafe is her brother’s best man and he broke Jordan’s heart several years ago, but can A CHARMING SINGLE DAD prove he is worthy of Jordan’s love again?

Dallas firefighter and paramedic, Rafe Reyes, is recently divorced and looking forward to reconnecting with Jordan at the wedding events, but he’s not sure how Jordan will react.Β  Rafe made a decision years ago to honor his late friend, Travis Kelly, by providing stability and support for Travis’s pregnant wife and unborn child. But did this decision impact Rafe’s future happiness and cost him the love of his life? When Rafe runs into Jordan, he is surprised to find out she is engaged, but sparks still fly, and everyone in Charming, Texas notices. Will Jordan follow her heart and give Rafe another chance?

The fourth book in the Charming, Texas series by Heather Bell, A CHARMING SINGLE DAD is a sweet romance that centers around second chances. Rafe sacrificed his happiness and future to care for his late best friend’s family. A devastated Jordan became a stronger woman after the breakup when she was forced to build her own identity. Now Jordan and Rafe are reconnecting and finding out what it takes to finally get their happy ending. Obstacles abound, such as fiancΓ©s, ex-wives, canceled flowers, blocked roads, and living in different cities. Jordan has to make sure the wedding goes off as planned while making sure her heart is headed in the right direction as well. Charming, Texas was an enjoyable place to visit, the story flowed nicely, and the characters were well-developed and engaging. There were several conflicts to be solved and the story dealt with these issues and decisions in an authentic way.Β  Overall, A CHARMING SINGLE DAD is an enjoyable read for a nice afternoon sitting in the sun!
