My Review: I have often wondered what makes single dads more appealing or unique to a single woman. I believe all men are attractive in their own way, but being a dad gives them that extra oomph. To me there is nothing sexier than a man playing with their kids. It pulls at my heart strings and it makes me pause and ask, if he is like that with the kids, how will he treat me?
With that said, I choose this book to see how close Hot Dads came to the real “Dads” in today’s society. I have to say that I was surprised and also disappointed. I thought I could show a couple of the really good stories and then maybe show a couple of the stories that just threw me off a little and left me asking, “Why?”
Cloaks, Daggers and Diapers by D.L. Jackson: Have you ever tried being an international spy while taking care of an infant? No? Well how about being an international spy, and while on assignment you find out you have a baby because the mother hands her off to you and walks away? Welcome to Derek James’ life.
Derek works for the U.S. Government, always undercover and always moving around. Now with a baby in one hand and the Russian mob on his tail you have to wonder, can he change a dirty dipper?
This story had me from the word go. I laughed as an ex-flame unceremoniously drops baby Anna in Derek’s arms and walks away. Anna is an adorable baby who knows just when to make her presence known. I laughed as she chewed on his fine silk ties and shirts. I sighed to myself, welcome to a mom’s world...and men wonder why everything we mom’s wear is wash and go.
He is charged with protecting a young woman who knows the inner workings of the mob, and in doing so, falls for her. Let me tell ya, if you can have a bucket of ice around when you read this short, do so. The sex is amazing and left me blushing.
For a short it is a brilliant tale and it makes me wonder, will we be seeing more of our hero Derek James, and baby Anna, or was this just a one time deal?
The second story I really liked was, Taking Chances by Savannah Chase. Sometimes women and men can make decisions they regret and try to make amends for their transgressions; this is a story of forgiveness and starting over.
Ben is a single dad, who at first didn’t know about his baby. The first he learned about his child was a summons to release his rights to the baby. The mother, after learning she was terribly sick, terminates the proceedings and hands the baby over to Ben to raise on his own. With the help of his best friend, he learns to love and trust again.
I shook my head in disgust when I read the opening to this story. How can a mother not want the father to know their child exists? Sure, I can understand in those rare cases of abuse or criminal behaviour you would walk away, but that wasn’t the case here.
I was Ben’s biggest champion while I read his tale. I wanted him to get the girl and make his family whole. Although you never know how two people will react to the confession of love, you always hope it is the right reaction.
Ms. Chase created a world where both people love each other, but until they take a trip and make love for the first time, they don’t realize it. Although not as hot as Cloaks, Daggers and Diapers, it leaves you sighing with contentment. Overall, I thoroughly loved this tale.
The final story in the anthology that I enjoyed was The Pick-Up by Taria. Moms, how many times have you seen a good looking dad waiting in line at your child’s school? You glance in his direction checking him out, and when that final bell of the day rings and all the rug rats come bounding out of school, you lose sight of him. You always wonder what if, or day dream about his hard body pressed against yours...*sigh* Anyway, that is what this story is about.
Only the dad is your husband, and it’s the other mothers telling you about their hot fantasies.
Peg takes a shine to Terry, a dress down mom who quickly strikes up a conversation about the hot dad who is pacing in front of their respective children’s school. As the story unfolds, Terry is treated to the latest gossip on how the women feel about him.
When the bell rings...well that would give away the best part, but needless to say the father is hot and the sex scene is amazing.
I guess you’re asking yourself right now, if this is the calibre of stories in this book, how is it that any of them aren’t as good? I asked myself the same question, but here we sit and there are bad ones too.
Construction Paper Hearts by Jincey Lumpkin, Esq.
When I began reading this story, I wasn’t sure if I was reading through a male’s perspective or a female’s. The main character is intrigued by one couple in particular, a lesbian couple. I learned a little bit later that the perspective was from a female, the teacher, Miss Tara.
As the story goes on, I began to pull away; it was like watching a train wreck. I kept reading, trying to look away, but in the end I couldn’t. The main character goes back and forth, “I like her, I don’t,” and it made my head spin.
There are things I have learned about lesbian relationships from reading about them or from what I have seen. Most call the parent who carries the child the mother and then the spouse or partner has a different name, sometimes aunty or their name. In this relationship, Maria is called the daddy, which made me do a double take. I thought perhaps she was mistaken and Maria was actually a male. I was wrong.
In the end, the sex was forced, very choppy and it left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Four Things About a Father by Bryce Wood
This story is written in 2nd person POV. I have always wondered how you write stories this way, and technically speaking, it was actually written quite well. The problems I had with it were mostly descriptions and usage of words, take for instance this passage; “She still swears she ovulated on the spot.” To me that’s too much information, I don’t want to know you’re dropping eggs because of a smile. I also don’t want to know about him not fitting into your anus and crying because he climaxed too soon. It might just be a personal preference to me, though.
Making Time by Alexandra Rowan
We meet the main characters in a coffee house in Boston. Charity likes Mike; she is dazzled by his charm, his good looks, and the fact that he is responsible. My first thought was ok cool, these are two mature adults maybe late twenties early thirties.
I was wrong again, they were both in their early twenties and Mike has a five year old son. Fine, things happen, kids, hormones, and all of that, at least he is trying to take care of his child, which is the most important thing he can do.
So the story progresses, I liked their interaction and his son is too adorable. Charity asks about his son and how he came to have custody of him. Here is where I have the biggest problem with the story. Mike tells her that at 16 he was ready to have children. His son was planned.
I have to take a step back here because when I read that I wanted to scream, “Excuse me?” I wasn’t ready at sixteen for kids, I have asked others if they were ready at that age for kids, and they all said NO! I would have believed this story more if Ms. Rowan would have had the teenage parent admit that it was a mistake, but that he would not trade his son for anything.

This was something you couldn’t take out of the story, it has to be there in order for it to make sense, but for me it killed any warm and squishy feelings I may have felt.
I am sure you are all asking yourselves what about the other seven stories in the anthology? Well, each of those fell in between these stories, some were good and some were just bad.
I have a problem with being told, step-by-step, how to have sex. I also have a problem with magic condoms. They appear out of nowhere and they appear on a man’s penis without opening the package.
Some of the places where the couples end up having sex are also a little out there. I know you can have sex just about anywhere, but outside your daughters dance, or in a gym storage closet?
Finally, I also have to say this, if a woman can climax like a guy, I guess the correct term is squirts, tell me once, but not several times over and over. You don’t have to tell me she drenches you, and the bed, the couch, the floor, or the tub. I mean that’s just TMI!
So, if you want a few stories that are really good, but you have to search through the bad ones, this is the book for you. Sometimes, the good outweighs the bad, but this time, not so much for me.
