My life is a mess. Literally.I’m a single dad, which means If I’m not cleaning up spilled milk or changing a diaper, I’m pulling gum from my daughter’s hair. I barely have enough time to eat—let alone sleep.And women? Forget about it. That ship sailed two years ago along with my ex-wife. My brother says I need to get laid. I say, screw that. I’m content with my life, until pop star Nora Hayes … life, until pop star Nora Hayes walks through my best friend’s front door and flips my world upside down.
She’s beautiful, famous, and completely off limits.
My life is a headline waiting to happen. Literally.
It all started with fishnet stockings and ended with a baseball bat to my boyfriend’s Porsche, putting me on the front page of every newspaper and gossip magazine in the country.
My life is spiraling out of control and I’m ready to make some serious changes. What I’m not ready for is a hunky man to strut his jean clad tush into my life. Grayson Calhoun is as rugged as he is sweet. He’s also way in over his head with his kids, and I have an offer I’m hoping he can’t refuse.
What starts as an agreement, turns to a friendship, and quickly escalates to stolen kisses and heated nights spent wrapped in each other’s arms. What we have is temporary. I promise him that I won’t fall in love.
But I make that promise already knowing it’s a lie.

Bring on a single dad romance!! I will start with this. Some authors write a single dad romance because it could be a trend, and it doesn’t work. Some authors make a trend with a single dad storyline and nail it. K.L. Greyson simply nailed it!!
Nora Hayes is a pop star that comes back to her hometown to get some respite from her crazy life. So, when she gets home, she ends up meeting Grayson Calhoun, a single dad trying to hold it together with three young kids due to his ex-wife leaving them high and dry.
The chemistry Nora & Greyson was fantast! It kept building throughout the book. The love that Nora has for Greyson’s kids is also something that you fall in love with!! They kind of stole the show. I was loving them.
Nora really ends up with her HEA with a family that she never expected.
This book was so well written! I took a chance on this one, and I am glad that I did. I completely devoured this one in one sitting. My daughter was in the hospital at the time and I just needed something to turn my brain off. This was the perfect book at the perfect time for me.
This will not be my last K.L. Greyson book. I completely want to dive into ALL of her books in 2020!! I have heard they are all amazing and I am super excited!!
Thank you, K.L. Greyson, for giving me a smile in a tough time in my world. It was perfect!
~ Review by Heidi Pharo
Wait For Me is the first book I have read from this author, and I can say she has impressed me, and I will be keeping up with her new releases.
Nora and Grayson really did it for me. To have a young woman that has the potential to be a brat try to prove she has grown up come in and be helpful to a single father of three is a breath of fresh air in this age of entitled children. Their love story was inspiring, and I can’t wait to see what is up this author’s sleeve next.
I won the audiobook and let me tell you it was amazing, the story was great, I love celebrity romances and even though single dad is not really my cup of tea I really loved Grayson and his kids. Nora a child celebrity grown woman now wanted her career to change and be seen as the young woman she was now, after an incident she finds herself somewhere where she meets Grayson. The audiobook narrated by the amazing Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott was very good, I love Wen’s voice and how he shows all the emotions in his performance, I totally recommend the audio.
I enjoyed this sweet summer read
I went in thinking that it was going to be
mainly based around Nora’s way of life.
I was really happy when that wasn’t the
point, and it was mostly used in the background.
It was really enjoyable, the whole dynamic between
Grayson and his kids, then Nora with them.
Wait For Me was such a great read. I loved everything about it. However, I have to say that the 3 little humans Jack, Henry and Emma stole my heart. Those kids were more than secondary characters, they were the core of the story for me.
I don’t think I have ever fallen as hard for a single dad with children. Grayson is simply PERFECT and without a doubt best book boyfriend material. He ticked all the boxes
In a nutshell, Grayson is the hot, romantic, adorable single dad who revolves his life around his 3 kids’ happiness.
Nora is tired of living the public/celebrity life and decides to go spend some time at her brother’s, after a pretty bad break-up. Even though, she is young, beautiful and famous, Nora is determined to hold on to her heart and not give it away to anyone. I loved her character and her determination to fight in order to be who she wants to be.
Gray and Nora had chemistry from the moment they met at Nick and Jessa’s. Despite their age gap, will they yield to temptation? Will Grayson break the promise he made to his friend about his sister?
Wait For Me is an amazing book full of love, laughter, steam, and has a romantic storyline that will pull out all of your emotions. ( when Jack opens up to Nora about his mum , I was GONE… tears rolling down my cheeks)
I devoured this story, not putting the book down until the very last page..
OMG where to start on this review….. I really LOVED this book. K.L. throws us into a world where two worlds collide and they have to make choices and decisions that will change their lives forever.
Nora has it all. She is a pop star and the top of her game. She has it all the fame , the fortune and a great guy to share it with. That is until one day she goes to see her boyfriend and catches him with another woman. She goes ballistic and starts to smash his car and go off on him. The media catches wind of it and her manager is not pleased because that is not the image he wants her to have. Needing a break she decides to go home to her brother. She doesn’t know it yet but when she gets there her life is going to change.
Grayson is an amazing father of three. He is divorced from his wife due to her having drug issues. So now he spends his days watching his children and trying to work. He is so stressed that the only break he gets is when he goes to his best friends house Nick who is Nora’s brothers. It is there that the two meet and there is instant chemistry and when Nora tells Grayson she will help him ove r the summer he agrees.
What happens next is they become friends and then become lovers. This is an amazing story that needs to be read.
You will love this angst-free, sweet, yet at times HOT new release from the talented K.L Grayson. Grayson is not only an amazing single dad, but he is driven, sexy and swoon-worthy personified. Nora is not your typical young, pop star either, which is so refreshing. She is down to earth and will blow your mind with her self-less love of Gray’s kids and her instant connection with them. I think I fell in love with her myself when she connects with Gray’s oldest son. Get swept away in the slow-burn romance. Navigating dating and romance with small kids is not the only thing threatening to keep these lovebirds apart, but baggage from both Nora and Gray’s pasts threaten their new, already shaky relationship. You have to grab this new release and read for yourself this captivating story.
4 Stars!!
Wait For Me pulled me in from the start! I had to finish it in one sitting! This story is filled with heartwarming and blushworthy moments throughout. I enjoyed it so much!
Nora and Grayson’s journey is quite the memorable one! With every chapter I kept connecting with them more and more. Nora was so caring and more than meets the eye. Grayson’s love for his kids was so beautiful and so was his strength. I fell for these two!
Ms.Grayson created such an awesome read! Wait For Me had me smiling so many times while reading. I can’t wait to pick up what she comes up with next! (:
*I volunteered to read and review a Copy of this book from Social Butterfly PR / the author*
Nora is a famous actress/singer who grew up in the spotlight since she was 12. Now that she is 22 she wants to change direction and not necessarily be the puppet on a string. Catching her boyfriend cheating has Nora lashing out and doing things she wouldn’t normally do. Needing a break she goes and stays with brother and sister in law.
Grayson is a young single father of 3 who just needs a break. Heading to his friend’s Nick’s house he meets Nora: Nick’s sister. The attraction is instantaneous.
With nothing to do for the summer, Nora offers to help Grayson out by watching his kids. The more time she spends with them, the more she falls in love with them.
So what happens when Nora has to leave for her career? Definitely one-click this sweet romantic story.
This story was a cute small-town romance that was deeper than it appeared to be. I liked Nora’s determination to leave the shadow of her long-time persona. I think her desire was realistic. I especially appreciated Grayson. He was a real guy with real problems trying to do his best. There were a few moments that didn’t ring entirely true to me, but they were easy to overlook because the chemistry was so good. For more thoughts on this fun romance, please visit my blog at Fireflies and Free Kicks Fiction Reviews. This review was written based on a complimentary pre-release digital ARC of the book.
Wait for me is one of those books that are for the record books!
Heartfelt and oh so deliciously swoony with a capital S!
You, know the kind, the ones that make you melt till you are a puddle of mush. Well, Wait for me meets all those criteria’s and then some, bringing your heart to the neverending end of what a true romance book should be.
I fell in love with Grayson and Nora’s story. Grayson is a single father who doesn’t have time for a women because he’s focused on his kids and providing for them. Ofc when he meets Nora he didn’t think they would hit it off that way, they started out as friend but then there was more.
We go through both there journeys & through it out you shed some tears some laughter but also steamy.. This is a must read.

4.5 Stars
Fun. Feel-good. Sweet.
Wait for Me gave me everything I love in a single parent romance. A hardworking, invested and would do anything for his kids hero. A heroine with a heart of gold that you can’t help but adore. And adorable children that’ll melt your heart and bring all the smiles. I loved this book and the story behind these amazing characters.
Nora has been a childhood star for so long. The darling child actor who is ready for a change. She wants to be seen more like an adult and not that sweet and innocent girl everyone seems to still see her as. She’s grown up, and she wants to maintain true to herself and in doing so she wants to venture and try new things in her career. And when she finds out that her boyfriend’s been keeping things from her and has also been unfaithful, Nora needs to take a break. She decides to spend the summer with her brother and his wife. But what Nora didn’t expect was to meet Grayson and his kids and the impact they’d have in her life.
Grayson hasn’t had it easy. After the problems with his ex, he’s finally feeling like his life is getting back on track. His kids are doing better, no thanks to their mom and his business is growing. And when he meets Nora, his best friend’s sister he’s a goner and the way she’s with his kids, he’s even more gone. So when Grayson’s nanny can’t watch the kids anymore Nora offers to help him out, and emotions he didn’t think he still had start to stir as he starts to get to know Nora.
Grayson and Nora had me swooning left and right. I loved their friendship and how great they were together. They definitely made an awesome team. And Grayson’s three kids were just adorable. I couldn’t get enough of them or of their cuteness.
Wait for Me was such a sweet story. Very little drama and angst. Filled with pure romance and sweet and tender moments. I couldn’t get enough and wanted more of these characters. An all around enjoyable read.
Every time I pick up a KL Grayson book I know I am in for an entertaining read…and Wait For Me is no different! I love books where a celebrity gets together with a “regular” person. It’s also a brother’s best friend book. AND a single dad book! So much sexiness! Grayson is a single dad to 3 adorable kids. Nora is a child star who has grown up and is trying to shed her little girl reputation. They are perfect together until life rears its ugly head and they wonder if they belong together. This book has a little bit of everything. It’s funny, steamy, sad, upsetting, adorably cute……
Another great thing about KL Grayson’s books are the supporting characters. They always complement the main characters so well and I want to know more about them too! In this book it was Bo, Nick, Jessa, and the kids. Definitely another great book by KL Grayson that you shouldn’t pass up!

5 A Surprising New Love Stars!!
Grayson and Nora are not two people you would expect to be together….he’s a single dad of three of the best kids and she’s a child star trying to find herself now that she’s an adult and needs a more mature image and audience. But you know what they say, “never say never” and that’s exactly what happens when these two enter each other’s worlds.
Nora is home visiting her older brother and Grayson is his best friend so it was just a matter of time for them to meet. What wasn’t expected was for Nora to be the one to bring his son, Jack out of his shell and fall in love with Emma and Henry. There’s a certain symmetry to her being their summer babysitter because it allows her the downtime she so desperately needs and Grayson can breathe easier knowing his kids are in good hands. What wasn’t expected was their growing feelings.
I love how Ms. Grayson writes a story that tugs at my heart. She made me laugh and cry throughout this book. We see the dynamics of a single parent family and having grown up with a single mother it’s not all sunshine and rainbows and Ms. Grayson does this story complete justice because she doesn’t sugar-coat anything.
Seeing how our H/h dance around their attraction was very emotional for me. I knew they were meant to be together but given their lives and how Nora is in a different place in her life was a true challenge and it was an uphill battle for them too. There’re things that happen that truly could spell the end of the life they’ve started building.
I completely and totally devoured this book. I fell in love with the sweetness of Emma, the surliness of Jack and how he has to come to terms with what happened between his parents and little Henry who’s just a toddler full of love. Grayson and Nora have to fight for their HEA that’s for sure and I was on the sidelines cheering them on the entire time!!!
Wait For Me is a standalone by Author KL Grayson. It is a single dad second chance romance. I really loved it. It is a perfect beach read.
Grayson Calhoun is raising three kids on his own. He is an amazing dad and puts his kids first. Jack, Emma and Henry are absolutely adorable and add so much to the story. Grayson is a great looking guy, but doesn’t date. His ex wife killed his feelings and he just doesn’t have time for anything but his kids. It so he keeps telling himself. One day while at his best friend Jackson’s house he meets his sister, Nora Hayes. She is a childhood and pop star. One look at her with his kids and his heart and hormones awaken from their slumber.
Nora is hiding out at her brother’s and sister in-law’s house to get away from her Hollywood life and the paparazzi. She wants to re-invent herself and stop being the goody goody her team wants her to portray.
She ends up living in his apartment and watching his kids. Everything is going great for them until her very public life and his private past collide. Will they be able to move forward? Can they make it work?
One click to find out if they can forgive each other and mesh their very different lives together. Be prepared to swoon!
Loved this book…Love the story.
Disclaimer: This review MAY contain spoilers. I received an Advance Reader Copy at no cost from the publisher/author. All opinions in my review are my own.
I was immediately pulled into this story. This is a darling little love story that is filled with such sweet moments that left me so happy on the inside.
The characters were very relatable and I loved their individual story arcs. The character growth from beginning to end for both of them was well written. I definitely connected with Nora. She is one of those characters that you can’t help but love and root for. I adored Grayson and his children as well. Grayson is pretty much the perfect guy. Caring, committed, and sexy as hell.
The romance was so lovely. The slow-burn was so perfect for these characters and this story. They start out as friends and then the feelings evolve from there. There was a bit of insta-love at the beginning, but the unfolding of their relationship slows from there. Even with their vastly different lives, it was obvious how perfect they were for each other. I loved their chemistry and friendship.
I really enjoyed the plot of the book. The premise interested me from the time I read the synopsis. A swoony single dad and a down-to-earth former child star? Yes, please. It seems ridiculous to think about, but it really worked. I liked how their different worlds supplied the plot with plenty of twists and unknowns.
Overall, this book really packs on the feels. It is a light read, but it touches your heart. It has likable characters, an interesting plot, and an adorable romance that will fill you with emotion. Such a sweet love story should not be passed up! I definitely recommend this book.
This was my first KL Grayson book,and I’m snacking myself in the head thinking of what I missed out on. This book absolutely stole my heart. Put a single dad who is fully devoted to his children above all else, and you’ve got me captive!
Seeing Grayson’s devotion to his children immediately made me fall for him. The fact that he is rugged and handsome were a bonus. Nora really needed to get away, so she goes to stay with her brother. When she meets his best friend Grayson, all bets are off and she falls head over heels for him and his children. It’s supposed to just be a friendship, no strings attached, but will that really be the case when it comes down to it? You’ll have to read to see. I promise you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to read more by this author. I’m so in love with her writing already, after one book!
