This wasn’t supposed to be my life. One phone call was all it took to bring me back to the small town I had grown up in. Everything had changed, and staying away was no longer an option. Four and a half years later, I was a widowed single father still here, still trying to pick up the pieces. We were doing just fine on our own, my little girl and me.At least, we were until Camryn Parker stumbled … Parker stumbled into our lives. The woman was like a tornado after a hurricane; she was the storm I never saw approaching. Behind her beauty and sarcastic wit, she was just as broken as I pretended not to be. As hard as I tried to resist, it was impossible not to fall in love with her.
In the end, it took nearly losing it all for me to realize everything I never wanted was exactly what I needed.

This was a really good book. Tucker and Camryn are perfect for each other. And the relationship between Tucker and his daughter is great. His daughter is precocious and adorable. I also really liked the secondary characters. Overall, I really enjoyed this book, and if you like contemporary romance, you will to.

5 Stars are not enough
This is my first book by K. Street and it will definitely not be my last. The emotional journey of a single father, Tucker, who has had more loss in his life than he should and Camryn who is trying to find her own path was a masterpiece in the making. From the wonderful honest characters to the fabulous plot and sequencing, this is a book that once you start you will not be able to put down. And don’t get me started on the plot twist at the end. I cannot wait for more from this author.
Everything I Never Wanted is such a touching, emotional and heartwarming book. I am a sucker for a single dad romance and it really tugged at my heart strings. K. Street did a really good job with this one and her writing just keeps getting better and better.
Tucker is so swoon-worthy, sweet and all around good human being. To me, he is the perfect man, an amazing father and the relationship he has with his daughter makes my ovaries explode!!! His daughter, Shayne is hilarious, adorable and spunky. She made this book quite entertaining. Camryn is so strong and courageous. She’s amazing and relatable on many levels. K. Street couldn’t have written a better heroine and soul mate for Tucker. She is exactly what he and Shayne needed and vice versa.
K. Street wrote these characters and this book with such passion and depth. The plot is consistent, engaging and flows perfectly. Everything I Never Wanted is a definite must read!!
This was a beautifully written 4 star story that had me swoon a few times. A great love story.
Tucker is raising his daughter by himself. Camryn is his next door neighbour and she really falls in love with his daughter. They form a bond and soon Tucker can’t help himself too.
A sweet loving story that was refreshing and easy on the heart. I loved all the wonderful characters that were created to make me feel a wide range of emotions. I love stories with children in them, they make the stories so much sweeter.
Standalone told in a dual POV with an HEA. I highly recommend this story.
“In life, the little things are the big things.”

And this Butter Bean is cutest baby girl there is. Full of life, giggles, sugar and sweet, She makes friends with her neighbour, who’s also her school nurse- Camryn Parker. She wins her heart and brings her Daddy and Cam together with her precious little antics
Cam seems to fill up the blank in Shayne’s life of a mother figure who teaches her to cartwheel and paints nails.
The story travels on a straight forward path,of cupcakes and pancakes, when suddenly a horrific event just crashes their lives!!!
I won’t say anything anymore.
Go read this captivating story about a dainty, dancing angel who brings together two halves of lives and makes them a whole family. There’s also the Tucker & Camryn’s intense love story. They manage to steel precious moments together, kissing each other senseless and having screaming, mind blowing sex together. This book has it all !!
I loved Tucker and Cam but I just wanted to squeeze Shayne Bug. She’s a doll
So go buy this beautiful, swoonworthy, single dad story and fall in love with his exasperating Bug!
4.5 “Mom’s Rules” stars
I took one look at this cover, and it sucked me in. I hadn’t read a book by K Street before, so I went in relatively blind, but ended up pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed this story of a single father (Tucker) raising his daughter (Shayne) after his wife passed away. Camryn moved next door after accepting a job at Shayne’s school, and Shayne and Camryn hit it off from the start.
I very much enjoyed Shayne (she was probably my favorite character), and loved how she brought Tucker and Camryn together. The writing was done well, the pacing was even, and the plot was right up my alley.
I will most definitely look for more books by this author!
5 Doodlebug Stars
Give me a hot single parent dad who is totally an all-around great guy and I am in!!!
Tucker is surviving…barely.
It’s been 4 years…
He can’t move on…
He hasn’t grieved any…
Not for any of them.
But the little girl, his ‘doodlebug’ is everything. It’s not been easy…
Camryn is ready to start the new chapter in her life. Moving to a new town, starting a new job, this is how the chapter starts. She would have never thought that ‘Lucille’ would end up being sick. What a way to meet the first person in town!
I absolutely enjoyed reading this book. Of course Laura being in the story helped tremendously because as a mother, that is how I would treat my son too <3
If you are looking for a great single dad romance book, pick this one up! The story was quick paced and flowed great. Plus, who doesn’t love a great ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’ sing along.
