The sexy, single dad of the MTF finally gets his turn…….Mason “Menace” Harrison“Single and ready to mingle……”Those are the words above every picture of almost every female that strikes my interest on this dating app my son talked me into getting. After being a single dad for seventeen years, I’m ready to spread my wings, just not with most of the co-eds who keep hitting on me and calling me … hitting on me and calling me daddy.
Now that Caleb’s in his Senior year of high school, I feel like I can let go of the iron-clad control I’ve had on myself without his Mom in our lives. I’ve enjoyed raising him, love the relationship we have, and while he went off the rails for a bit last year, we’re closer than we’ve ever been. He’s got a full ride to the University of Alabama, and I’ve settled into my spot with the Moonshine Task Force.
But my son doesn’t warm my bed, he isn’t someone I can share my dreams with, and he’s not the person I want to grow old with by my side. I’m not sure who that is yet, but the smokin’ hot lady going by the name BeachBum83 definitely has every single bit of my interest.

“Looking for a good time, maybe more…..”
Those were the lamest words I ever typed in my life, but it was the best I had for the dating app my friend, Violet talked me into joining. I didn’t have any high hopes for myself. As a High School English teacher, I’m sick of pervy Dad’s hitting on me when they come in to discuss their child’s lack of motivation to read the classics and apply themselves.
Until the day Mason Harrison walks into my classroom. I had no idea Caleb’s Dad was the man I met off that dating app who showed me how flexible I really am in the back of his Jeep. Within minutes of the parent/teacher conference he proved the sparks weren’t one-time only when we christened my desk.
Mason and Caleb? They touch a part of my heart that no one’s ever touched before, and when a threat from the past shows up, I prove just how tough I really am.

This is the first one i have had the chance to read in this series. I absolutely loved it. I love reading about single moms or dads finding love. Makes me believe i have a small chance. I absolutely love Mason. I mean seriously how could you not. He is not only an amazing father but a police officer and yummy. I love the relationship between Mason and Caleb. It is amazing being able to see their lives and how strong their relationship is especially when you add someone that is as important as Karina into the mix. I love Karina . I love her character and how strong she is and how she doesnt hide her feelings for Mason. This was just a great book from the beginning to the end. I cant wait to read the rest of the books in the series.
4.5 stars.
I’ve read the previous books in the Moonshine Task force series and Masons’ story was without a doubt my favourite.
Single dad Mason has always put his son Caleb first. Focusing all his attention on been the best father he can be means Masons love life has taken a back seat. Now with Caleb planning on going to college, it’s time for Mason to get out and hopefully meet someone so with Calebs help, he signs up on a dating app never expecting to meet someone significant.
Calebs teacher Karina had also been talked into joining a dating app and has no idea her hot, sexy date is her students father. After spending a hot first date together, Karina is clueless until her one night stand turns up in her classroom with one of her students.
The chemistry between Mason and Karina is still as strong and Mason is ready and hoping for more. I loved both main characters. Mason has got to be the most perfect book boyfriend ever. He’s hot, alpha, so unbelievably sweet…he had me swooning so bad. Karina is a really sweet, genuine person and she’s very easy to like. And then there’s Caleb. The kid who’s no longer a kid but not quite an adult. The bond and relationship he shares with his dad will melt even the coldest of hearts. I can’t wait for Calebs story (hint,hint…hurry up!).
This book was without a doubt my favourite. It was everything I hoped Masons story would be.
Oh my…. This is the best book of the Moonshine Task Force. This book should be read by anyone that loves hot and sweaty sex.
I think I truly fell in love with Menace aka. Mason. He is definitely one of the most magnetic man I have read about and he is a gentleman to boot. Karina sounds like the perfect person for Menace and vice versa. I loved the way she fell in love with Mason hook, line and sinker. Karina is definitely a woman who is all in even with being a mom for Caleb, Mason’s 18 year old son. Mason and Karina have an instant pull to each other that is only found when you find your soul mate.
There is also trouble in paradise that could cripple this family if things go wrong. Will they have their happy ever after?
I received this book as an ARC copy for a voluntarily honest review.

Sometimes it takes a little longer to get it right.
I choose being a single dad over having much of a social life but now he’s all grown up and he’s trying to give me fashion tips because apparently I can’t dress myself.
Karina, the woman i’m so anxious to see; and once I lay eyes on her she ticks every single one of my boxes.
I never dreamed I’d be acting like some teenage especially not on a first date but there’s just something about him that screams more; and boy does he give me everything.
There are some parts of my job that definitely harder then others and having to search the high school Is one of them but it’s kind of a necessary evil to protect all of our kids.
Karina wasn’t sure how to handle her racing feelings she’d just ran into the guy who totally rocked her world; but now she didn’t know what to do.
This is the last class of the day and one more parent to speak to the class and the second my student returns with his dad and I’m totally in shock..
Because it’s Mason.
The only thing I can say in my own defense; is that woman speaks to my reckless side and I should be sorry for my behavior…
But on so many levels I’m not.
It seems like I’ve waited a lifetime to finally start searching for the right woman.
Even though my kid and I have endured plenty of ups and downs in our father- son relationship I’m so relieved that there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
I never imagined when my son took matters into his hands to help me with my lackluster love life that I would meet someone like Karina.
However the one thing I never thought I’d be facing was an empty nest but it’s now a reality and I’m not sure how to handle all these mixed emotions.
I’m more then ready to take the biggest step in my life and I need my son’s help to pick out the perfect one for the beautiful woman who I can see being with forever.
And our wedding was more then I could imagine when I finally saw her walking towards me; it was all I could do to keep from losing my manliness in front of everyone.
Our lives were perfect with the added bonus that would soon make us a family of four.
Until the second everything comes to a screeching halt and I’m seriously on the verge of losing my mind and I’m being pushed to the sideline and all I can think is don’t miss… What ever happens I just prayed over and over.
This has been an awesome book! A definite page turner. From the cases of the MTG (Moonshine Task Force), to Mason and Karina’s choices to trust loving again, this book held my attention. A wonderful story and a great example of a man taking responsibility for his child and never faltering on his love for him. A Must Read!!
I liked the story, the character we bery likable and realistic. I was a very easy read.
Menace is a romantic page-turner filled with wonderful characters Mason -Menace and Karina both seeking a long term partner.
Mason is encouraged by his adolescent son Caleb to use a dating app to achieve this goal. He meets Karina and there is consuming chemistry which leads to steamy encounters with a bit of action thrown in happily ever
I loved this book, fun to read. What happens when life throws you a curve ball…..you play! Just like these characters!!
Wow, loved the Moonshine Taskforce series! Menace, or Mason Harrison, as a single Dad is a real hero in anyone’s book and this book makes him SHINE while also making him quite the hot alpha sex symbol. Son, Caleb is great character and Karina the female lead is the perfect for both father and son. You will fall in love with this book and these characters, their stories and their friends so much you will rush to read the rest of the series. I sure did. You will learn more about everyone’s life in each of the books which only makes each book more of a treasure.
Great read.
A bit wordy.
Interesting take on the family situation.
I liked the beginning but it seemed to drag on at the end.
Great story
I love all the books in the series great author and wonderful characters
Wonderful book!! Love the characters, very special? Highly recommend.
“Now’s your time, Dad.” He nods toward me. “You do you, I don’t need you around all the time like I used to. If I have to share you with a woman, I will. You’re gonna be lonely when I leave for Tuscaloosa in the summer.”
First time reader of Ms Briscoe, thoroughly enjoyed this easy to read romance. So many swoon worthy moments and it was Menace’s son Caleb who stole the show for me. A great storyline with awesome characters. I need to read some more of the Moonshine Taskforce series as it appears there will be some stories worth uncovering.
Menace has put his life aside for his son Caleb. An unexpected pregnancy at sixteen, he showed who was a man among the boys. As a single father he has managed to bring up a fine young man any parent would be proud of. However he misses the attention of a woman and Caleb talks him into putting his profile up on a dating site. The attraction was palpable on the first date, they talked easily and there were all sorts of tingles. Karina certainly left him with a great first impression, but then she ghosted him. However Menace is persistent and he finds her in the most unexpected place.
Karina’s ex fiancé cheated with her so called best friend, she was embarrassed and heartbroken. She picks herself up and moves to Laurel Springs where she makes a new home for herself. The date she has with Menace scares her, not knowing if she can put herself out there again for heartbreak she ignores him. When she realises who he is and he keeps pushing, she takes a chance with her heart.
This book! I loved this book. I have to say I came across this book thanks to Bookbub, so I read it out of order but I’m definitely going back and reading the rest. The characters were wonderful. It had the perfect mix of heat, love, action and a sweet storyline. Great book.
Mason is a single father with a teenage kid. He never expected that it would be his own son that sets him up on a dating site. When he meets Karina, he is happy that he listened to his son. Their date set the course that would take them along towards their happily ever after.
good beach read
