The Single Dad:
Ex-military man Derrick Richmond. Solitary and satisfied…until little Timmy was dropped into his lap and Derrick had to learn to be somebody’s daddy.
The Single Woman:
Schoolteacher Anna Maxwell. Fate might have denied her a family of her own, but Anna still had plenty of love to give, if only someone would notice.
The Solution:
Anna would teach Derrick all he needed to know … Derrick all he needed to know about kids. Father and son would give Anna some precious memories. Then the schoolteacher and the single dad would go their separate ways. Unless one little boy figured out a way to make Miss Maxwell become his mom!

Very good take on the emotional subject of adoption.
Nice, but a little slow for me

I purchased The Single Daddy Club Trilogy book 1: Derrick by Donna Fasano and this review was given freely.
Derrick resigns from the Navy to raise his 5 year old Godson Timmy and finds both his opposite and true love in the flamboyant kindergarten teacher Anna.
A heartwarming full length clean tale of unconditional love, the struggles of a first time father, and the true meaning of family.
Quick read that makes you think about family differently.
Enjoyed this book very much. Loved the characters. Great story line.
It was the predictable romantic book. I really liked the author’s ending. It wasn’t what I was expecting
Cute and nice job of finding love and overcoming a feat of never allowing
The book touches a real problem endrometriosis and the way it can effect a woman’s life and her feeling of self worth. Dictors should recommend it.
I loved it !
Excellent storyline!!
The Single Daddy Club is a series about three single men raising children on their own. They encouraged and supported each other with child raising issues and life in general. After his cousin’s death, Derrick became guardian to his godson, Timmy. Being a single, career military man, Derrick didn’t have a clue how to raise a child. But he was determined to give Timmy a good home. So he resigned his commission and settled down with Timmy. He thought everything was going fine until his godson’s kindergarten teacher, Anna, called him about Timmy’s behaviour problems in class. During the conference, Derrick admitted not knowing how to raise a child and asked for the teacher’s help with this. Against her better judgement, Anna agreed to help Derrick by giving him lessons on parenting. The more time they spent together, the stronger their attraction became. But Anna was determined to not get involved with a man and kept pushing Derrick away. He wanted to see where the relationship could go and was not letting her get away.
This book realistically shows the problems that can arise with children and becoming an instant parent. Parenting is not an easy road but it is rewarding. Timmy’s young life was heart-breaking to learn about. Derrick was a strong, capable man who couldn’t see the problems he had with Timmy until someone else pointed them out. And Anna had her own issues. Even with all the tough times these people had, they kept going to make life better. The characters and situations they where in were told in such a way that they were quite believable. The ending was wonderful.
My Rating: 3.5 stars
Loved the relationship between the characters. I couldn’t put the book down.
Good read, especially liked the adoption emphasis!
Sweet story…
great read
Predictable and lovely read.
Enjoyed the book.
Easy read.
It’s called ‘stepping up to the plate ‘ and the author shared what parenting couples do. What a great epilogue. Don’t read it first… wait for it!
Wonderful
