The sequel to the wildly popular romantic comedy SINGLE DAD ON TOP has arrived.My bride-to-be Arianna wants to meet my parents.But…they live in a trailer. Dad thinks Playboy T-shirts are classy because the naked women are silhouettes. Mom has a tattoo of a dog humping a palm tree. I don’t think either one has said a sentence without an f-bomb since 1985.I changed my name a long time ago. … changed my name a long time ago. Started a new life with a clean slate and never looked back.
I don’t know how to mend that bridge.
Or why there’s a pig-on-a-spit at their surprise engagement party.
Or how Arianna and I ended up wearing matching “Ball and Chain” bride and groom shirts.
But you don’t get to choose your parents.
And in my family, crazy is definitely relative.

While Single Dad Plus One could probably stand alone, a lot of the humor builds on book one, Single Dad on Top. We recommend reading them in order.

This series is fun and this book is full of hilarity! There are some tough scenes for Arianna and Dell and both of their families. It’s a whirlwind trip and families are, well, families.
This sequel was entertaining with a lot of lighthearted moments throughout. I couldn’t help but feel really annoyed with Dell though … he was embarrassed by his family!!! So for that reason I’ve only given this one 3 stars
The wedding is gorgeous

Second book of the series very entertaining. Loved the peek into his family. Great ending too.
A brilliantly funny and tender story of a blending of cultures.
Single Dad on Top was hilariously funny and now JJ Knight (also known as Deanna Roy) has returned with a sequel that is equally funny.
Like book one, Single Dad Plus One is told in first person POV and alternates between Dell Brant – now a reformed, self-centered manwhore – and Arianna – a feisty, single, businesswoman. Warning – book two contains spoilers for book one and while you probably could read this as a standalone, to get the full effect you really should read Single Dad on Top first.
SPOILERS for book one below this point!
Dell and Arianna have been together for a few months now. The adoption of Grace is pending; after that happens they plan to get married. This story is all about what happens when two vastly different cultures collide (Dell’s southern, blue-collar family vs Arianna’s upper-class parents).
Once again, there are many laugh-out-loud moments in this story; what happens when Dell’s family throws a surprise engagement party is priceless. This is a pretty quick read and well worth the time I spent devouring it.
Sequel was funny & entertaining. Cute, romantic , and funny read. Thoroughly enjoyed!
HANDS DOWN, ONE OF THE MOST ENTERTAINING & HEARTWARMING BOOKS I’VE READ THIS YEAR!!!
Title: Single Dad Plus One
Author: J.J. Knight
Designation: Contemporary Romantic Comedy, Book Two of Duet, Sequel to Single Dad On Top, Can Be Read As Standalone But Not Recommended, NO Cliffhanger
Reading Platform: Kindle Edition
My Rating: Five Deliciously Cute and Oh So Sexy Stars*****
**Disclaimer: Single Dad Plus One is the second book of a romantic comedy duet featuring Dell Brant and Arianna Hart. Single Dad Plus One could be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading it after the first book of the duet, Single Dad On Top. And yes, I’ve read both. Actually, I binge read the two books over the course of a single weekend and the only thing I didn’t like was reading ‘The End’ on the final page. I loved the characters and story so much, I wanted more, more, more! lol…
Oh my! I love, love, love Single Dad Plus One by J.J. Knight! As many of you know, J.J. Knight is one of the pen names for the very talented Deanna Roy. It matters little what name Knight/Roy uses since everything she writes is magically delicious and Single Dad Plus One is no exception. And no, there’s no magic or fantasy in either book, just good old-fashioned and very well written fictional contemporary romantic comedy. Without a doubt, Single Dad On Top and Single Dad Plus One are two of the most entertaining books I’ve read this year. I was completely hooked within the first few pages of both books and simply could not turn the pages fast enough. But as usual, I digress so let’s talk details! Single Dad Plus One is a fast-paced, easy to follow, fun-filled, exceptionally well crafted and edited, full-length standalone comedy filled to the brim witty dialogue, laugh-out-loud humor, a cast of engaging and endearing characters, a little heartrending drama, a few spicy secrets and plot twists, an attraction that won’t be denied, a whole lot of heartwarming romance, and an emotionally moving story that will tug at your heartstrings. The narrative is beautifully written in the first person with clearly defined his and her perspectives from the two protagonists, handsome billionaire Dell Brant aka Hasmund McDonald and beautiful child day spa owner Arianna Hart. These two characters are a match made in heaven and complement each other perfectly. The dialogue is smart, snappy, at times outrageously funny, well executed and flows effortlessly. I snickered, snorted, snuffled, chuckled, giggled, sniffled and sobbed through the entire book but by the end, I was happy, satisfied and well entertained. There were times I laughed so hard I actually peed myself! TMI? Maybe, but it’s the truth. I was immediately smitten with handsome self-made billionaire playboy and serial womanizer Dell Brant. Dell is a tough, ruthless businessman accustomed to getting everything he wants, not only in business but his personal life as well. And prior to meeting Arianna Hart, Dell Brant never double dipped. He’s more of a love and leave ’em after one encounter kinda guy, but women still vied for the opportunity of being seen on his arm, even if it’s only once. His refuge in the storm is his luxurious penthouse at the top of one of his many New York City real estate holdings, aptly named the Dell Brant Building, and even has his own butler. But even a handsome player like Dell Brant has secrets and all it took to bring him to his knees was one little frilly bundle of joy left anonymously at his door and a sexy, virginal, children’s day spa owner. Dell may be a cutthroat businessman but when it comes to three-month-old babies and his new forever girlfriend, he’s clueless and still hopelessly out of his elemen, but with Arianna’s patience and understanding, he’s getting much better at diaper duty, although there are still a few mishaps! lol… I fell in love with both Dell and Arianna and the sparks between these two are still flying! There has never been a more perfect example of opposites attracting, but Dell and Arianna actually have a lot more in common than either initially realized. These two very independent but lonely people have finally found love. Fortunately, Dell has popped the question and wants to make an honest woman of Arianna, especially since the world thinks baby Grace is hers and not Dell’s. What? Oh yes! Unfortunately, it’s finally time to meet the folks – and that means Arianna wants to meet the redneck parents Dell has been keeping secret for the past ten years. It looks like the couple is taking the private jet to Alabama! Oh my! Get ready for a pig on a spit and a polka at the engagement party! lol… No spoilers from me but I will say this… Womanizing playboy billionaire who gets another very unexpected surprise-check! A kindhearted fiancee who wants to meet the family-check! An adorable baby who captures the heart of everyone-check! Lies exposed, an engagement party from hell, and even more hijinks-triple check! Undeniable attraction, fiery passion, steamy sex, heartwarming romance, and a love that will change three lives and two families-You bet! That and a whole lot more!
Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! Would I recommend it? You bet and I am but only for adult readers since it does contain some tastefully written but very steamy love scenes! Hubba! Hubba! Will I read this author again? Absolutely! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read! Hands down, one of the most entertaining books I’ve read this year.
I LOVED Single Dad on Top. It was one of the funniest books I’ve ever read so when I found out Dell and Arianna were getting a sequel (that could definitely be read as a standalone), I was beyond excited.
Dell and Arianna have gotten engaged and are still in the process of Arianna adopting Grace. When Dell tells his family about Arianna and their engagement, they insist that he return home to Alabama so they can meet her. Except that Dell hasn’t really shared with Arianna what his upbringing was like and he also hasn’t told his family what his life is like now. Throw Arianna’s wealthy family into the mix and hilarity ensues.
I didn’t think I could love this story more than first but I’m pretty sure that’s the case. I finished the story in one sitting because I just couldn’t put it down. I also didn’t want it to end. There’s heat, comedy, and so many swoon-worthy moments. There are so many amazing characters that I am hoping to see more of in the future!
