Winner of the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award! Book One of Judith Arnold’s popular Daddy School series. Jamie McCoy is the ultimate guy: thirty years old, carefree and professionally successful as the writer of a nationally syndicated humor column called “Guy Stuff.” Nine and a half months ago, he spent a week basking on the beach in Eluthera and indulging in a fling with a woman at the … at the resort. Never did he expect to find the unplanned result of that fling—a healthy, wailing baby named Samantha—strapped into a car seat on his back porch, along with a suitcase full of diapers and infant apparel and a note informing Jamie that he’s her father.
Maybe he is and maybe he isn’t. But first things first. He’s never fed a baby or changed a diaper in his life. He doesn’t own a crib or a stroller. In a panic, he phones the nearest hospital, where neonatal nurse Allison Winslow takes his call and tells him about a class she teaches called the Daddy School.
Classes on how to be a dad are exactly what Jamie needs. But when he attends his first class and sees the tall, earnest, amazingly beautiful and even more amazingly competent Allison, he realizes that he might just need more from her than her lectures on how to hold a baby.
Jamie’s efforts to be a father to this precious baby touch Allison. His sense of humor amuses her. His striking good looks turn her on. But how can she trust the sort of guy who’d sleep with a stranger on vacation, without giving a thought to the consequences? How can she give her heart to such a reckless man?

Wow! Such a lovely story. Jamie finds a newborn on his back porch, to his surprise the letter informs him of his paternity. He needs help fast and ends up in Daddy School where he meets Allison, neonatal nurse and educator. Jamie is witty and adorable with his baby girl,Samantha. Some angst towards the end that turns out fine.
Wonderful …
I love reading Judith Arnold she never disappoints. Very sweet story with a most satisfying HEA.
Daddy School is a great concept.
I really enjoyed the story… it dragged in some places. However, they must do babies very very different in this town. No way no how would a baby nurse be using grape gatorade. Pedialyte at 4 weeks, maybe. Also, much of the behaviors were more like teething, which doesn’t happen at 2 weeks, either. And, …
I laughed and cried and just plain loved this book.
A wonderful story about a new single dad and how he copes with fatherhood, a job and a new love.

I loved the story line.
I always hate when a book where I get so attached to the characters ends. This was one of those books that you almost know what’s going to happen but it is so much fun getting there that it really doesn’t matter. Read this book, you will smile, laugh, cry, and enjoy every minute.
Father Found ( The Daddy School Series book 1) by Judith Arnold is hilarious. When a baby is left on his porch with a note claiming the child is his, 30 year old Jamie has a lot to learn about the joys of fatherhood. The descriptions about guys and how they think as well as babies and their needs, are laugh out loud funny. This author writes well …
In telling the story the author drags out every sexually charged thought and feeling of the protagonists. One has to wade through a lot of dribble to get to the meat of the story. Then at the end, when one is interested in knowing, instead of being descriptive about how they felt about the outcome the author quickly and abruptly brings the book to …
Good Feel Good book
A slightly different twist. Written with humor and sympathy. Characters were well developed and enjoyable.
Not what I first thought it was about. But kept me attached
Couldn’t get into this read. Did not finish. Didn’t find characters that believable.
really heartwarming

It’s a possibility. He’s mind-boggled. Allison, the nurse who runs the Daddy School hospital outreach program for new papas, becomes his …
I really enjoyed this book.
