The Single Dad's
Patchwork Family
by Claire
Baxter
Single Dad
and Single Mom find love and renewed sense of family
Claire Baxter's short romance, The Single Dad's Patchwork Family
brings together a single dad and a single mom in a serene oceanside
landscape. Together two wounded characters, two broken families, find
love and the courage to trust again. Claire Baxter tells a story of the
importance of friendship and trust in love, especially when kids are
involved and a second chance romance creates new families.
Regan Jantz
attends one of those kinds of cocktail parties... business, networking,
information. She's a professional running a tuna farm and knows the
drill but her heart leads her elsewhere. Something about Chase Mattner,
a man away from the crowd just feels right. When Chase and Regan start
talking, they find themselves sharing all those parts of themselves
that had remained hidden. As a single mom with 2 boys, Regan wants to
protect her sons and herself. As a single mom, she can't risk letting a
man into her life only to walk out on her sons like their father did.
But when Chase asks for help, can she resist? Chase never thought he
would ever love again when his wife died. Can Regan break down his
isolation? Can these two single parents find love and a new, richer
sense of family together?
Chase Mattner
is one hero, a man with an attraction to Regan but also a patient and
understanding man who understands her needs. In her portrayal of the
heroine's inner thoughts, Claire Baxter did an excellent job in
portraying the dilemma facing single, divorced moms with kids to
consider. The Single Dad's Patchwork
Family balances the initial chemistry of attraction with a
deeper love that develops through trust and experience. The reader
feels their love grow naturally with each encounter as they talk
together and share their secrets. The reader feels the hero and
heroine's insecurities and especially Regan's reluctance to get
involved while also feeling their natural pull to each other. Once
these two meet, the it is the heart that draws them together but it is
the growing friendship that makes the reader feel these two are a good
match.
Claire Baxter's
The Single Dad's
Patchwork Family is a perfect short romance read for readers who
crave a little peace and quiet from the hectic, fast-paced schedule but
also want a romance that moves the heart. The oceanside landscape mixed
with tender domestic scenes combine in a narrative style that enchants
and soothes with this wonderful hero who has patience, kindness and a
knack for knowing just what a busy woman and mother needs. Naturally,
there are some conflicts putting together the pieces of this new
patchwork family, but seeing Regan and Chase's friendship and romance
develop puts a smile in the heart.
