When a business arrangement takes a personal turn …Welcome to Seattle, the Emerald City and home to The Single Dads of Seattle. Ten sexy single fathers who play poker every Saturday night, have each other’s backs, love their children without quarter, and hope to one day find love again.This is Mason’s story …Single Dad of Seattle Mason Whitfield made some big changes in his life five years … big changes in his life five years ago, starting with quitting his Fortune 500 job and moving away. Now he’s back in Seattle, he bought a bar and is finally a father–life is good. But when a beautiful mystery woman keeps coming to his bar interviewing men night after night, Mason’s curiosity is piqued and he just has to know more.
Five years ago, cancer nearly killed Lowenna Chambers. Then her husband left her–for her sister. Now in remission, she just opened up her own chocolate shop and is determined to live the best life possible. Until she’s asked to do the impossible: design an enormous chocolate center piece and give a speech for her sister and ex-husband’s wedding, on Valentine’s day of all days. A perfect opportunity to show them she’s moved on. But first, she needs a date. A drool-worthy hunk who will steal the show. Cue, Mason who is tall, dark, dangerous and with two sleeves of tattoos to boot.
But as the wedding approaches it’s no longer a simple business arrangement between Mason and Lowenna. She likes him and he wants her, but love is never that simple and a future together begins to look unattainable.
Can Lowenna get over her pain and heartache and spend Valentine’s with the single dad, or will she let yesterday haunt her today, ruining any chance of a beautiful tomorrow?
**Note: This book can be read as a standalone. It includes lots of steamy scenes, cursing, and of course as with all my books, this has an HEA and no cliffhanger or cheating. If you like single dads who take charge, this book is for you.

Ever since our introduction to these guys in book one I’ve been waiting for Mason’s story. I know that this author is anything but predictable so I cleared my afternoon and knew I was in for an excellent read. There’s always a realistic meeting of this author’s characters. A believability whereas someone authors feel that H/h’s have to meet under some of the most absurd situations I’m incredulous. I particularly associated with this book because I am also a 3x cancer survivor having had a third reoccurrence January 2018 so I still have some time to go get to my five year mark for this last diagnosis. While I am extraordinarily lucky in the husband department Ms. Cox was spot on on the toll it takes and how easily a cancer diagnosis can end a marriage especially with a weak partner. I wish I was as kind as some other reviewers on how Lo took the high road where her sister and ex were concerned, I just wish there was maybe a line or two that had Lo kicking her ex in his twig and berries and maybe spilling some red wine in her sister’s dress. But she was a true heroine and survivor and in the grand scheme of things she had Mason….that might’ve been the best revenge of all. Just a note to Ms. Cox…this is a really good series but I miss your well developed darker side..I have reread all of your first books and when you go dark you shine.

The relationship that grows between Mason and Lo is beautiful and I love them together. He is a loving father and she falls for father and daughter. Mason reluctantly agrees to be a for hire date when he wants to date her for real. He is frustrated by her bringing up the money and “business” part of their deal. neither can deny the incredible chemistry between them though. It was great to see her meet and become friends with the other women too. she needed some real friends.
OK…SPOILERS…..
I HATE HER SISTER AND EX HUSBAND!!!! it pissed the hell out of me when Mason stopped her from doing something as fairly harmless as the itching powder. She deserved to get some revenge. She should NEVER have lifted one finger for that bitch’s wedding! Made me sooooo MAD. While I reluctantly agree that she was better not to stand up in front of everyone at the reception and call them out, I still would have cheered. She should never have gone in the first place. And when she actually hugged that bitch, I almost puked on my kindle. NO, just NO, Never!
I think Mason should have supported her no matter what she chose to do.
END SPOILERS.
I am very happy with the ending, I love their HEA and all their little WOW’s !
looking forward to the next book!
This is book seven in the Single Dads of Seattle Series and features Mason and Lowenna. Mason quit his disruptive and monetary job in order for there to be peace in his life.

5 star review Valentine’s With The Single Dad (The Single Dads of Seattle #7) by Whitley Cox
This fast became one of my favourite series last year and I eagerly awaited Mason Whitfield’s story. I have been intrigued since he first made an appearance in the series and I knew that the woman who would come in to his life would need to be someone special and Lowenna Chambers is certainly that.
Surviving cancer and then betrayal by her ex husband and Sister, Lowenna has opened a chocolate shop in Seattle. She is shocked when they ask her to make a speech and design a centrepiece for their wedding and I admit I wanted to hit them. All she needs is a date to the wedding to show them all that she has moved on and that’s when the fun begins.
When Mason and Lowenna agree to a business arrangement you just know that complications are bound to arise. Every time I read a new book I fall more and more for all the dads in The Single Dads of Seattle series.
Badly burnt by her ex husband’s lies and betrayal Lowenna has no intention of opening herself up to love again. Is Mason the man who can break through the walls she has built and get her to take a chance on love or is Lowenna destined to be alone forever?
The chemistry between Mason and Lowenna smoulders and their attraction sizzles. There were times when I laughed and times where I wanted to cry.
One of the things I love with this series is that we often see other members of the club pop up throughout the story; the camaraderie and friendships amongst the men and the women they fall in love with is something that I adore and to me adds that additional layer that I truly appreciate.
SPOILER
This book did nothing but make me mad from the very beginning. It disgusted me how her sister could be so evil to Loweena, who is dying of cancer. But in the end she gets her happily ever after with Mason and their babies.
Book 7 in one of my favourite series
I love that these are standalones but better read I. Order as we see
reoccurring characters throughout.
Hot single dad to baby Willow sees an intriguing lady in his bar
She wow’s him before they’ve even talked.
She’s a cancer survivor and he thinks she’s a warrior when she’s been
let down so much by those that were supposed to love her unconditionally
Her hurts cloud her judgment and she’s on the brink of loosing something special
Can she be the warrior that he sees in her……… this is why you need to read lol
There’s lots of hot guys betrayal love laughter and babies, everything I love in a book.
This was my first introduction to the Single Dads of Seattle, this is book 7 of the collection.
Having not read the other 6 books I was pleased it had me hooked straight away, and despite not having read the previous 6, it did not affect my enjoyment of the story, enough information was given of the other single dads, that this could be read as a standalone story.
I loved Mason and Lowenna and the journey they took me on, Lowenna’s character is very relatable, you learn straight away that Lowenna has been treated in the worst possible way by her sister and ex husband whilst undergoing cancer treatment.
Following an invite to her sisters wedding, Lowenna hatches a plan, she just needs a fake boyfriend that ticks all her boxes – i think anyone could channel their own wicked sister and i was totally onboard with her revenge plot.
The story begins with Lowenna interviewing candidates from her boyfriend for hire ad to assist in her revenge plot, she meets them in Masons Sports Bar, after many failed evenings interviewing, Lowenna gets chatting to Mason the bartender and owner – Mason is the stories single dad and is Dad to baby Willow.
Lowenna doesn’t know that Mason has had his eyes set on her from her first visit, over some shared nachos, Lowenna reveals she needs a fake boyfriend to take to her sisters wedding, Mason see’s an opportunity to get to know the mystery girl who has had him intrigued for weeks, after persuading Lowenna to reveal her tick list she realises what shes looking for is right in front of her it takes a kiss to seal the deal and she has her fake boyfriend.
It’s not often a book has me outwardly laughing as well as internally screaming noooooo, I love a book that I can immerse myself into the characters and this book gave that perfect book escapism, the chemistry between Mason and Lowenna was hot as hell – I couldn’t put it down, having now been introduced to the other single dads within this story I’m going to have to start from book 1, as the other single dads have me intrigued
So I now have a new book boyfriend!
Single dad Mason agrees to be Lowenna’s date when she attends the wedding of her sister to her ex-husband. She’s also the chocolatier making the reception centrepiece and guest favours There are events in both their pasts which have shaped the person they are now, but can Mason convince her that revenge isn’t the best course?
Plenty of steamy scenes and a couple of twists that I didn’t see coming make for a great story and a perfect addition to this series. Highly enjoyable and a book that I definitely recommend.
I am voluntarily writing this review for this book I received through Booksprouts arc
Mason worked at a high powered job until the day he quit now he is working as a bartender at the bar he owns. Lowenna was a chocolatier and a good businesswomen. Mason had noticed her as she sat at the bar interviewing men. Finally one night when the bar was getting in a closing mode so he went over and talk to her. Mason comes to find out that her ex husband was marrying her sister and she needed a date for her wedding. Mason volunteer because he wanted to get to know her better. He also sees how much her sister is using her and Lowenna just lets it happen. Mason and Lowenna start seeing each other because they need to get so things done for the wedding like learning how to dance together. Mason finds out information from his buddies who also belong to Single Dad of Seattle Group. Lowenna ex husband works for one of the guys law firm and they didn’t like him at all. Lowenna plans her revenge on her ex and sister. Lowenna was undergoing Chemo for her cancer and her ex was sleeping with her sister. Lowenna found out once she had overcome the cancer after they took everything out and she couldn’t have children. Her husband leaves her because he wanted to be able to have children. Then her ex announces that he seeing her sister and it was serious. Twists,turns,betrayal, and redemption. This is not the usually romance story lots of plot twists. Excellent Characters and fabulous storyline
I received and ARC in Exchange for an honest review. This was a great addition To one of my favorite series. I really enjoyed Mason and Lo’s story. I like that the way they met was unconventional. That there was build up as they got to know each other. There was true chemistry here. When they do decide to share their feelings it’s explosive. I also really felt for Lo and what she went through and then continued to endure with her sister. I love the single Dads of Seattle and I cannot wait for Liam’s story. The epilogue was amazing!! Can’t wait for what’s next!!
Is is the sevenths book in the Single Dads of Seattle series.
It can be read as a standalone but the characters from the other
book do drop in thought.
This one is how Mason met Lowenna and there relationship.
Lowenna had been going to the pub that Mason own for few months
meeting deferent guys one night after one left he went over to tell her it was
last drinks that is how everything started with them.
The plot has you definitely hooked with everything that is going on.
There’s romance some interesting twists as well.
The chemistry between the characters is a slow burn with a lot of fun as well.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
4*
Mason owns the bar that Lowenna has been meeting men between a 2 hr gap for the last few weeks he wants to know more.
She needs a date as her sister is marrying ex husband so offers to pay him.
Mason is such a great character, however he has a link to lowenna neither expected. Lowenna is such a survivor so strong you can totally sympathize with her and Whitley has certainly shown this in her writing.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
This Storyline and Series Maintains it’s Freshness.
Another terrific storyline in the Single Dads of Seattle Series. This one happens to be book 7 and the single dad is Mason, father to four month old Willow and owner of the Prime Sports Bar and Grill. His love interest, who he meets in his bar is Chocolatier, Lowenna. She also owns Wicked Sister Chocolates.
The premise of this storyline is that Lowenna needs a date for her sister’s wedding and ends up hiring Mason. From there we have all sorts of relationships checking in and bridezilla activities.
Bottom Line: As all the previous books in the series, this is well-written, held my interest from cover to cover and was satisfied with the ending. The characters are believable and multidimensional. I definitely am recommending this book for your reading enjoyment and pleasure. Peace.

This is the best Single dad of Seattle !!!!amazing, funny,heartfelt page turning, naughty story!
Mason sees a beautiful woman a few nights a week come into his bar with a notebook and she meets men. Rowena is looking to hire a boyfriend for her sister’s wedding with very little luck. Mason comes up to her to get her story, and what he sees is a gorgeous warrior, who has to fight for everything. This story is real, intense, and quite a love story. It deserves more than 5 stars and I can’t wait to see who’s the next dad to call head over heels in love with a smart,sassy,beautiful woman! I honestly volunteered to review this arc.
Lowenna Chambers needs to find a date for her sister’s wedding. But this date needs to be a fake boyfriend, one that will make her sister jealous and her family instantly fall in love with because there is no better way to get back at the sister who is marrying your ex-husband. Mason fits the bill and agrees to the farce. When sparks fly and emotions get involved he hopes he has found his HEA, but when revenge comes into play will he walk away? Or will his true intentions of love and respect win out over getting the best of her sister? This story had so many layers and with each chapter I fell more in love with Mason. This is so much more than a fake relationship. I absolutely love this entire series as each book gets better and better.
