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?

Loved this series.
Great job giving the unexpected father the love that he needed to overcome his lack of confidence in caring for a baby–plus a woman!
I love this book, awesome writer. Hope the second book is as good
Enjoyable story.great characters, and believable even for a happily ever after
The best part about this book was the humor of the main male character. The grandmother was really funny too. I did not understand the logic given behind Allison’s main reason for not wanting to be involved with him. The judgement given to him for having consensual sex with a woman on vacation doesn’t make any sense since Allison herself sleeps …
I really enjoyed this book, the storyline was fun and had a great ending.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s very easy reading, one I couldn’t put down.
This was an entertaining story to read, enjoyed the characters.
I enjoyed this book and I want to finish this series if I can find them.
Good beach/pool read
A great story with lots of humor and sexy characters.
If you HAVE to read this do it for the male-character. So worthy for his take on things that I first thought the book had been written by a man. The female is beyond awful and ruined it for me completely. What kind of woman the author deals with? :shudder:
This book is about a man who faces a life changing challenge and grows up as he rises to the challenge.
Good story
Judith Arnold does a bang up job putting you in the shoes of a clueless single dad who is moved in an instant from confident guy’s guy who has it all together and knows where he’s going—to diaper changing bundle of fear who found a baby on his deck. She writes Jamie’s perspective with truth that gives us a good glimpse of the male psyche. From his …
Love it
I had a lot of fun reading Father Found, lots of chuckles, quite a few LOL’s. The characters, including second string actors, were finely drawn & very appealing. The camaraderie among the hero & his poker buddies was very entertaining, like listening to my brothers tease & one-up one another. The pacing of the plot was just right. I loved this …
I didn’t like the heroine, Allie, at all. She was judgmental and holier-than-thou and kept condemning the hero for being an “unwed” father (is this the 1800’s or something?). I think we were supposed to think she was all-noble for teaching the Daddy class to people she considered scum of the earth.
I liked this author’s Magic Jukebox series …
Jamie has just turned 30 years old and hears a noise on his back porch. He finds baby Samantha on hi s back porch with a note saying that this baby is his from a fling that he had a little over 9 months ago. Jamie has no idea what to do with a baby so he calls the local hospital and talks to Allison who invites him to his Daddy class. Jamie is …
While I enjoyed this book, I was a bit disappointed in the rushed ending. It seemed to move along fine and then accelerated at the end as though the author hit the maximum allowed words or pages. Also, the female lead was a little judgmental. Unplanned pregnancies happen. To judge without asking questions is unfair. I let myself be drawn is …
