Reasons not to fall for
She’s a complication I just don’t have time for.
She’s young, innocent and my kids babysitter.
Oh, and did I mention she’s my dead girlfriend’s step-sister?

Tor Kestrel’s life is complicated enough without falling in love with Stella. He has no business even looking in her direction. But he did, and now he can’t get her out of his head. He wants her.

Reasons Tor Kestrel is not the man for
He’s way out of my league.
He barely knows I exist outside of babysitting his son.
Oh, and there is the fact that he once belonged to my dead step-sister.

Stella Korey has a plan. Get her degree, get a good job, and get the hell out of Lincoln Ruins. She just needs to not fall in love with Tor along the way. But the heart wants what the heart wants, and what Stella’s heart wants is Tor and his son, Mason.

This is the third “dad” book I’ve read in a row and it was the best of the three. Tor Kestral is a tattoo artist and single father with a baby son named Mason. He met Lexi, Mason’s mom at a party and the two of them had a casual thing going until she got pregnant. She liked to party a little too much and when Mason was three weeks old she went on a bender and ended up dead. Tor relies on Lexi’s stepsister Stella to babysit Mason while he’s working. Stella is the opposite of Lexi, she is responsible and studying to become a nurse. She loved Lexi but she also hates her for throwing away an awesome guy like Tor and not giving a crap about Mason. Although she does feel bad for being attracted to her dead sister’s baby daddy. Tor wants Stella but he thinks she hates him and only bothers with him because she loves Mason. Tor was adorable with Mason and definitely one hot daddy.

Hot damn!

What a great, short, sweet, hot read! Thank you Winter Travers for Tor! Good Lord that man and that gorgeous little boy Mason. Tor has had enough of pussy footing round and is determined to make sure Stella knows just what she means to him and Mason. It seems everybody knows but her! Oh I loved this book!!

Tor can make anything look easy!

Tor is a tattoo artist and has a little boy named Mason. Mason is the result of a one night stand with Stella's step sister, Lexi. Lexi didn't love Tor or Mason and ended up dying after a weekend bender of drugs and alcohol. Stella takes care of Mason during the day so Tor can work and she goes to college at night, because she wants to be a nurse. Stella has been in love with Tor since she first met him, but believes she is not his type plus he was Lexi's and she made it perfectly clear before she died he'd never want so.done like boring, mousey, little Stella. Tor thought Stella was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen when he met her and he has decided that he's going to make her his and keep her in his and Mason's lives. Grab this wonderful book today and find out what happens when this DILF goes after the girl he wants as his forever. Will they get a HEA? You'll have to read the story to find out!!

Daddin aint easy is a novella that is a part of the DILF mania series. This story is short, fast paced and sweet. I read this book in one sitting and wasn’t once bored. I liked Stella but I wanted to shout at her to give Tor a chance. They were both attracted to one another but had held off. When Tor finally decides its time, there’s no holding him back from making Stella his. My heart ached for Stella. She was in love with Tor but she didn’t feel like she was good enough. Her late stepsister, mother of Tor’s son had torn her down continuously. Is it bad of me that I was glad that Lexi had died? It may sound bad but from everything that was said about her, people were better off with her gone.
I loved how selfless Stella was. Her love for Mason was clear to see as was Mason’s love for his aunt Stella.
Overall, I really liked this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is a nice read.

I really enjoyed this latest book by this talented author!!! Tor is a single dad to adorable kiddo Mason. He is a tattoo artist and works crazy hours. Luckily Aunt Stella watches him for Tor. Stella has always had a crush on Tor but her stepsister has made it known to Stella that Tor is hers. When an opportunity arises for Stella to get an internship for nursing school she wants it but doesn't want to lose time with Mason and her connection to Tor. Tor has been waiting for an opening to show Stella that she was always the one for him and that he always wanted to be with her. Can they let go of the past and make a go of a relationship? A really enjoyable story that I recommend to everyone....well done!!!!

I fell into this novella and it just left me wanting more! Tor, a single,tattooed dad is trying to fight his attraction to his dead girlfriend's stepsister. Did I mention things were complicated? I loved how Tor went out of his way to uncomplicate things between him and Stella. When he wants something nothing stands in his way,not even Stella herself. My only hope is that maybe down the line we see more of Tor and Stella because I just fell in love with them and would live to read how they navigate life finally together.

Daddin’ Ain’t Easy was a quick steamy romance that will make your heart race and have you clucky all in a short period of time. Tor is the hot single Dad who is a tattoo artist and Stella is the woman he has been longing for since he first laid eyes on her. If you want a story that will make you smile, heat you up and give you a serious case of DILF mania then this novella is a must for you.

I really enjoyed Tor and Stella's story. My only complaint was that is wasn't long enough. I need to know everything that happened after the last word! And I want more stories of the characters at the tattoo parlor. Loved the sassiness and back and forth between those peeps! Hope to see full length novels of them where Tor and Stella can pop in to update everyone!

Quick, fun, and oh so sweet

That. Tattoo. Oh boy. I pictured it. I laughed. And I loved it all. This is a super sweet novella that shows just what a man can and will do when motivated to win the woman while helping her achieve her dreams. I needed a quick read to erase the day that I keep thinking is Friday (hint: it’s not Friday).

Hot Dad alert!

This was a very cute short read. They were most definitely meant to be together! Lucky for Mason that it all worked out so he ended up with an awesome pair of parents! I will have to add the others in the DILF series to my TBR.

This is a very sweet novella. Tor and Mason are a package deal and Stella loves them both. One pulls her hair the other her heartstrings. Throw in some fun loving friends and mum and you have the recipe for a good book.

Love Tor and Stella

I loved this book so much. It's a quick read but it is sweet sexy and cute at the same time. For and Stella are couple goals and I absolutely loved them. And Mason was just a total cutie.

Tor ( love the name ) is a Hot single dad who'd do anything for his son, but you are right. Raising a child is not easy, especially on your own .there is a lot of drama. I'm glad he has Stella in his life to help him out . I loved how Tor treated her , it was sweet and romantic . Great novella

Not great

Disappointing. A reasonable build up but then the ending seemed rushed as though the author had got bored and wanted to move on! The story was boring, the love scenes were flat and amateurish and it ends at about 70%. I've read much better by this author.

Cute, quick read! Tor & Stella have been fighting their attraction & love for a while, but that's all about to change, because Tor's tired of waiting! I love the interaction w/ baby Mason & the way Tor stops taking "no" for an answer - especially when Stella tells him she loves him! : )

A sweet and adorable novella. Tor and Stella are absolutely cute. I devoured this book and was left with a smile. Wish it was a little longer because I didn't want it to end but non the less it was good.

This is a cute single dad romance. Stella the good nursing student/babysitter and Tor the tatted up single dad.
Perfect for when you just have a little time but want a good story.

Good book. Good characters. Just didn't catch my interest. Put it down twice and started something else then came back to it. It had a disconnect for me.
