To Be A Dad

By Kate Kelly

Dusty Carson knows he isn't exactly father material. But his friendship with single mum Teressa Wilder has recently become a lot more intimate. Now he has less than nine months to prove that he can be the man she needs. And the first step is moving her and her kids in with him.

Except living with kids turns out to be more complicated than he'd thought. Between temper tantrums and toilet training, when is a guy supposed to get a minute to himself–never mind a chance to woo Teressa? This isn't what Dusty thought he was getting into, but he'll do whatever it takes to win her over. Even be a parent.

Reviews for To Be A Dad

[jaiw-1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The trials and tribulations of a blended family when you're not entirely sure you should be blending at all. The characters are strongly developed, including the children, and you want it to work out for them all. A good light read.

Kate Kelly delivers another flawless, funny and touching romance novel. The characters are well developed and the situations they find themselves in are believable. I like how she writes about 'real' people i.e. an ordinary family in an ordinary town with normal day to day problems. There are plenty of funny moments and the bonding scenes between Dusty and Brendon had me laughing out loud. A definite must read for the summer.
