Summer Fling by Lea Coll

 💖💖💖💖💖/5

Summer Fling by Lea Coll, book five in the Kingston Brothers series, is a wonderful, emotional, heartwarming single dad/nanny, fake dating love story.  Dalton enjoys working with his family construction company, but has been a little distracted lately. He is a single father of an adorable little girl, Liliana, and unfortunately his ex, Oakley, keeps causing trouble for him. She drops off Liliana whenever it is convenient for her, never keeps to a schedule, and if Dalton doesn’t do what she asks she screams and threatens to call her lawyer; keeping Liliana from him. Needing help so he can work, he hires a live-in nanny to watch Lili.

 

Blake is at a crossroads in her life, taking a break from her child psychology studies and deciding if she should pursue art therapy in addition. She has been the part-time nanny for Cooper and Ivy, Dalton’s brother and his wife, and badly needs a place to live. Blake loves being a nanny and shares her passion for art with the kids she’s a nanny for.

 

After Blake moves in, she discovers Dalton’s custody situation is out of control. Oakley chooses when, how often, and how long Dalton can see her; often dropping off Lilliana with little or no notice. It’s sporadic and inconvenient and he has gone along with it because Oakley constantly threatens to remove visitation at all. When Oakley discovers that Dalton not only hired a nanny but that she is living with him she explodes, trying to cause all sorts of trouble. Dalton’s lawyer suggests it would look more legitimate to the courts if he and Blake were dating. Instead they decide to fake date as Dalton pursues a more formal custody agreement. Dalton blooms while Blake lives with him, making his life better in all areas: with Liliana, with his ex and with his home life better controlled, and even his work life is better. With Dalton and Blake spending more time together getting to know each other better, they slowly discover the strong connection between them; one that they never saw coming.

 

Between the strong family dynamics, the dysfunctional ex and the building of an unexpected relationship this was a very entertaining read despite a few communication issues. The the loving and sweet relationship Blake and Liliana shared, the magnetic, sizzling chemistry between Dalton and Blake, and the support they shared for each other, making what was supposed to be fake, very real. The strong family dynamics are still present with good friends, an easy relationship between them and sizzling chemistry. The relationship between Blake and Liliana was so sweet. It was fun to get updates on the other Kingston Brothers' romances and how they are developing. I can’t wait for Shep’s story.

  If You Love Me Narrator Narrated by Stephen Dexter & Stella Bloom Two nights with her ruined me for all other women, but I never got the chance to make her mine. I’m the pinnacle of control. I protect the net, my team, and my daughter. It’s my final season and I can’t afford any distractions. Except our new assistant coach just walked in. And I would know her face anywhere. She’s the one I dream about. That weekend, I was just a man—not the legend, the dad, the mentor. I didn’t care that I was a decade older. For the first time in my life, I was ready to risk everything if it meant having her. Until I woke up to an empty bed and no note.
