Nobody Said It’s Be Easy
by Patty Blount
Synopsis
This is Patty’s third contemporary romance with Tule Publishing Group, inspired by a TV commercial in which a Dad says, “With four daughters, I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’ll always have nail polish on my fingers.”
It’s been two years since former engineer Gabriel Ivers lost his wife and accepted a job as a building superintendent to be home with his children. His focus is being both mom and dad to his girls, until the beautiful Amelia Blake moves next door and reminds him he’s a man as well as a dad. Just as he begins to hope that his life can once again hold more than homework, chores, and movie-and-manicure nights with his girls, he discovers the reason for the fragility beneath Lia’s warm smile.
Lia is trying to move on with her life after a miscarriage ends all hope for a baby, and a subsequent betrayal destroys her marriage. She’s charmed by her new neighbor with his sparkling manicure, multi-colored hair clips, and his brood of girls, but disturbed by the sexual tension that sizzles between them. Gabe and his daughters remind her of everything she’s always wanted and it would be so easy to take what he’s offering her. But is she ready to risk her heart again, especially when her heart isn’t the only one in play?
Falling in love is easy. Staying in love is hard. Good thing Gabe is a fighter who’s determined to prove to Lia he’s in this for the long haul…the rest of their lives.

Sounds great 👍 I get the feeling this may be sad 😢 a little too!
I sometimes enjoy a sad story. If the author can make me cry, they’ve done something!
No I have never written a love letter.
I wrote a bunch when I was younger. So glad most of them never got delivered. LOL
Nope never have written a love letter.
aww this looks really great. It reminds me of that James Breakwell on Twitter who has 4 daughters. He’s hilarious. Anne – Books of My Heart
No, I have never written a love letter.
I have only two kids and NOPE I don’t think I would date if I were single again! LOL I looooved single dad stories though! This one sounds so sweet!
I’ve been single for over 20 years. I was solely focused on raising my son. Now I think I’ve forgot how to date, or I’m too chicken. LOL
Yes, I have written a love letter, but it was many years ago. Such a cute cover, makes me want to read it. And I do love single dad stories.

I miss the art of writing letters. And I enjoy single dad stories too.
I probably did when I was much younger but not any more.
