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.

Lowenna is someone I wanna hug. Although she would hate it. She has been through so much, some of which was fate. Some was done by someone who was supposed to love her unconditionally. When she stumbles into Mason’s bar to interview her perfect boyfriend, she finds him in Mason. I have read all of the single dads stories but this seems to be the one I couldn’t put down. Lowenna as turned her life around and is successful but what her sister has done is deplorable. What she feels is right may not be the best for her true happiness. Mason is more than just a boyfriend for hire. He is infatuated by her from the start. I adored Mason. He can be my boyfriend for hire any day. He has been through similar feelings as Lowenna but came out the other side better and happier. He just needs her to see she’s better than the revenge she wants.
Wow! How much do I love Mason? Soooo much! He is amazing, sweet, loving, sexy, a single dad with the cutest baby and all he wants in life is a family to call his own, and when the opportunity arises to get to know the lovely lady that’s been gracing his bar, he takes it. Lowenna is her name and she’s sweet, loving, kind and all she wants is a little peace and looking at Mason is pretty easy on the eyes too, he’s sexy, hot and has a panty melting smile to boot. Her life hasn’t been easy and her sister has bullied her her whole life and now she’s catering all the sweets at her sister’s wedding. That’s a whole other story. When Mason steps in to help her out, he never thought anything would come of the time they are spending together, he hoped, but wasn’t sure if it was all business or if it could be something more. Mason is keeping a tiny little secret from her and hoping that when he shares it, it won’t deter all the progress these two have made.
Feelings are there and everything feels so right between them, but the secret he’s keeping could change their lives and the fact he’s shared it with a couple people it’s bound to come out before he has a chance to explain. No spoilers just enough to suck you in, loved these two, they are sweet, sexy, flirty and explosive. This series is amazing and a must read! I received a copy of this book.
I just loved Lowenna and Mason but good lord I totally agreed with Mason numerous times when Lowenna needed to say no to her family but I also get how you feel obliged. Both are attracted to each other however Lowenna keeps pulling away and makes Mason work for it, but she has her reasons and Mason also gets that which makes their dance around each other more fun and lordy I want to try her chocolates!!! This was the perfect slow burn where you get to really know the characters and feel soo much more invested in them, not just Lowenna and Mason but the others too and sweet wee Willow sigh I want a Willow too!! This was the first in the series I have read and have just gone and purchased book 1 so I can read the series from the beginning!!

Lowenna is a character to be remembered. Surviving cancer, starting over after her husband left her, and creating the most extravagant chocolates ever. But one small item remains on her list: revenge. From her sister’s bullying, to her ex’s betrayal, to her parents lack of interest, Lowenna just wants one moment where she is seen. Mason’s “adorability” is intense: a loving father, a friend to those in need, and a member of a group of people who support and love one another. Neither he nor Lowenna can deny the attraction but will her insistence on revenge destroy any hope of an HEA?
What an amazing book! Not your typical valentines book! Talk about hilarious humor!! Couldn’t stop the laughing and giggling! 5 star read hands down!
Valentine’s with the Single Dad is book 7 in The Single Dads of Seattle and I have to say this series is fast becoming one of my favourite reads of the last year, it’s a series I will never tire off and it’s a series I don’t want to end…..
Mason Whitfield has made a fair few changes in his life but life couldn’t be better, he is back in Seattle running his own bar and his dream of being a father has finally come true, the last thing he is looking for is love……
Lowenna has opened up a chocolate shop in Seattle in the bid to start her life over, she is doing what she loves best making amazing chocolates for her shop and events. As survivor of cancer she is strong but her breaking point was when her sister and ex husband betrayed her and now they expect her to make the chocolate favours for their wedding …… Lowenna needs a plus one for the wedding and she gets Mason to agree to be her fake boyfriend for the night but will one night be enough…..
The attraction is instant and the chemistry is sizzling for a couple not looking for love but love often happens when we least expect it.
This book has it all, it’s emotional, it’s realistic, it has characters I loved, I smiled and I shed a tear as I joined this couple on their journey to HEA. This wasn’t an easy road to happiness but this author writes from her heart and I felt so close to Mason and Lowenna and let’s not forget the rest of the gang of single dads of Seattle and their partners as always they have a part to play in this beautifully written romance. I highly recommend this book as well as the rest of the series, one click now you won’t be disappointed.
Dont like to leave spoilers so ill keep it short.
This is the first book iv read by this author and oh my i will for be reading a whole bunch more. Hot, intriguing and so well written, i fell into this book from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down. It was exciting, heartfelt and addictive! If you love a good romance this is a must read!
Valentine’s with the Single Dad by Whitley Cox. Mason and Lowenna are a great couple, I really enjoyed the extra twist that tied them together. I found Mason to be a true hero, being able to give up the luxury lifestyle he had in order to life a cleaner life (if you will) and being able to teach that to others and embrace it is huge (IMO). Lowenna is a true superwoman too! Life had not been kind to her, but she stuck it out and made the best of it. There is a lot of drama, personal conflicts, pain, and passion in this story and that made it very heartfelt. I liked the characters I thought they were strong in their own right and together they were fierce and loving. Great story and I will continue to read more in series.

Who’s the gorgeous gal with the line up of men coming to her table twice a week? Owning an upscale bar, Mason has seen plenty. Maybe if she didn’t draw him in so much he wouldn’t have been so curious. None of them were better looking, better built, or probably had more money and business success than he does. Yet, she’d never hit on him or even flirted.
Lowenna couldn’t believe the position her sister had put her in. Sure they had pretty much a hate/hate relationship even though she had no reason. Lowenna hadn’t slept with her sister’s husband while she was recovering from cancer. The woman was now marrying her ex-husband. Lowenna had to find a drop-dead man to show up with as her “guy” at the wedding. So…the interviews. They weren’t going well.
Until–Mason just had to know what was going on and started a conversation that led to so much more.
Like most women, nothing is sexier, sweeter, or hotter than a big sexy guy holding a sweet little baby. Not only was Mason holding little Willow, but she was also his. No cumbersome woman in the wings. A surrogate gifted him with the most precious little girl.
He fit the bill and so begins the story. It’s filled with sexual tension, sweet moments, steam, surprises galore and a wonderful story. I loved it and found it is book seven of the Single Dads Club of Seattle. A whole slew of books to read. This was was complete but meeting the other guys and couples was a treat. There are some great scenes (look for the Rage Room)
This one has my strongest recommendation.

What a fantastic story! Mason and Lowenna are perfect for each other, with off the charts chemistry. I was immediately hooked on Mason and Lowenna’s story and could not stop reading. The Single Dad’s of Seattle series is absolute perfection in each and every book. Mason is seriously sweet, sexy, amazing with his baby girl and definitely intrigued by the gorgeous woman that keeps coming into his bar every week “interviewing” guys. Lol. Lowenna is the gorgeous woman in question and is perfect for Mason. Their romance is sweet yet steamy with the perfect ending. Zak had been my #1 dad but Mason just knocked him down a notch. Sorry Zak lol.
I have been waiting on Mason’s story for a while and Wow it was worth the wait! It was the best one of the series in my opinion! I loved it! Mason and Lowenna were great characters! They had amazing chemistry! Lowenna needs Mason to be her fake boyfriend to her sisters wedding to Lowenna’s ex husband. Mason wants to be her real boyfriend. They have a month together getting ready for the wedding. Will it be long enough? Will he be able to show her what she means to him? This story was so well written with fantastic characters! I couldn’t stop reading! It made for a very late night! I love all the men and women of the Single Dads of Seattle series! I can’t wait for Scott’s story. It can’t get here fast enough!
Holy moly, Mason is without a doubt, hands down my favorite of the Single Dads of Seattle. I am positive that I have said this before about one of Whitley Cox’s heroes. That said, I don’t know that there is anyone that can steal that spot from him. He is the perfect book boyfriend! He is hot, sweet, just ugh, he is everything, he is fire! He is so adorable with his daughter Willow and how he is with Lowenna. Being inside his head just made me fall so completely in love with him. Lowenna has gone through the wringer and I wondered how she could be so accepting of the situation. At times, it seemed she was detached and others she was letting her feeling fly. The demands put upon her by her family were shocking and infuriating. It rings true that her family acts the way they do when you finally meet them on the page. As things played out, I was cheering for Lowenna when she really showed us what she was feeling. I was right there on the edge DESPERATE for Lowenna to make the right choice. Absolutely amazing, I was completely consumed with my emotional attachment to these characters. I cannot wait to see what else is in store for the Single Dads of Seattle!
I have been really enjoying this series and have happily fallen in love with the characters in each book but this one has totally melted my heart.
I loved the story and the grittyness which stops if from being too sweet!
But it made me sigh on more than one occasion!
Highly recommended!

I love this series and I want it to go on forever. I could not get enough of this book. The story pulled me in once again. Great chemistry and characters.
This seventh Single Dads book is the best so far. Full of mature philosophy, good feelings, and laughter, it was a joy to read until the last fourth of the book when Loweena’s itch for revenge began to be revealed. Mason is a 6 foot, 5 inch, giant of a man, very handsome, with a baby daughter. It was a little hard to believe that a 38-year-old bachelor, never before in love, could become so fixated on a woman who appears to be interviewing men each Tuesday and Thursday. But I could very well understand his experience when he finds out they have a connection at a point in his life when he changed from money-grubbing closer for a banking investment firm to a world traveler. It was during these traveling years he developed a new life philosophy. But as usual, Cox is able to bring all her books to an HEA ending! Recommended.
Mason decided a year ago that he wasn’t getting younger and he never found the one woman that he wanted to start a family with, so he got his friend to donate an egg and his other friend to carry his baby. Now, he has a sweet little baby girl, owns a bar and is part of the single dad’s of Seattle. Mason loves working at his bar and he especially loves seeing the same woman come into his bar every Tuesday and Thursday. She always meets with different guys and his curiosity has gotten the best of him, so he decided to converse with her and figure out why she is meeting all these guys. This is where the whole story starts.
Lowenna has truly been dealt some really crappy situations from her health, family and a horrible husband. The bottom line is that she needs a date to her sister’s wedding……which, by the way, is planned on Lowenna’s birthday and her sister is marrying Lowenna’s ex husband! Mason offers to be her date and these two grow closer as the get go know each other while preparing for this wedding. There are many ups and downs that happen while leading up to this horrible wedding. The one positive is that Mason and Lowenna figure out how to be together and even though they started out as a fake relationship, true feelings develops and a HEA happens.
This book can be read as a standalone, but you will enjoy it even more if you read the whole series. We do get to catch up with the whole gang, the Seattle single dad’s and the girls too. I love the series and I am excited for the next book.
WOW!!! – indication as to what is discussed in this story! This one is just right up my alley!!! I loved it and loved it some more, – if there were ten stars I honestly think I would give this story that many stars. The storyline is fabulous, the characters are just OH SO FAB as well. Overall it just was really good and one of those stories you begin and you can hardly even go to sleep if those hourse happen to interfere with the reading of this story!!! So just get yourself comfortable and enjoy. I don´t want to spoil any reading for anyone so I never say anything about how or who or when or what – those kind are just spoilers. I can only say how I feel about the story and if it is well written. This one certainly ticks all my good boxes!!!

This was my first book by Whitley. I must say I loved the writing. This story was cute and I love how the author built up the relationship. Amazing read and I’m looking forward to going into her backlog of books and taking a journey on all the single dads! Really well done and definately think you should read this.
WOW!!
This is my favourite book I’ve read this year I loved it. Lowenna’s story was so emotional having recovered from the big C taking away her chance of carrying her own baby but also finding out that her husband Brody (now very ex-husband) was having an affair with her sister Doneen whilst she was ill, but as if that wasn’t enough now they are getting married expecting Lowenna to make a centerpiece & favours for their wedding rubbing her nose in it. Doneen was jealous of her saying that she got cancer on purpose & no sympathy so she wants to take a hot, rich, clever man as her plus one. She interviews prospective dates at a bar but nobody is suitable until she starts talking to Mason the hot barman one night who after explaining to him why she has been coming into the bar he offers to be her date she accepts but tells him she will be paying he doesn’t want her money as he has fancied her over the months she has been coming into the bar. Over the weeks he introduces her to his friends & they all become friends with her aswell but also her feelings for Mason are changing & she has also fallen in love with his daughter Willow. She wants revenge for what they have done to her one way is taking Mason with her but she wants more but her need for revenge could also lose any chance of a future with Mason & Willow. There are a lot of twists, drama & emotions in this that meant I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for the next book.
