Love Me Last
Roses are Red,
Audits are eww,
My mom’s on my nerves,
And this hot guy is too!
Another Valentine’s Day… (long sigh)
And I am married to my company. Girl boss—Yay!!
No time for dates, friends, or the occasional jog at the gym (by jog, I mean mall walking).
My company is in need of help, and the best guy for the job is a single father that is far too handsome for anyone’s good.
Between him laying down the law in the office and my mom nipping at my life choices, I am going insane!
It’s time to put myself first—for once.
No more loving me last.
It’s my turn. His turn.
For a red-hot love affair.
Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

yikes….. first DNF for this author
I will start by saying I typically love everything I’ve read by Weston Parker. I was actually certain this was written by someone else because it was just so not what I was used to. Neither main character was all that enjoyable, but Mallory in particular was awful. She is set up on a blind date with Hayden, Who does not even know he is meeting her until after he is there. Right off the bat she judges him based on what he is wearing and the way his hair is styled. he is admittedly dressed casually for a date, however he thought he was meeting his brother and young son for dinner. She was very rude and stomped off. The following morning she finds he is the specialist brought in to help save her company, and throws him out immediately without consideration. I don’t see her as a “boss B” but as a crass, rude, and judgement mean girl. Yikes. Hayden is a single dad raising his son on his own, and a good guy. She was awful. Sorry, I just couldn’t do it.

While it took me a bit to get warmed up to Mallory, I really did enjoy this book. I had a problem with her at the beginning because it seemed to me that she was too judgemental and not willing to give anyone a chance, but I am happy that I stuck with it. I realized that her behavior was due to the relationship with her mom. Anyway, I really loved Hayden and his commitment to raising his son. He made a great dad and I am so happy that he has such awesome family support in his brother. I'm so glad I bought this book.

Well Written
Another winner written by this author. Hayden and Mallory were the perfect example of the saying, "opposites attract." His laid back attitude to her strict attitude were absolutely a perfect blend for their relationship. The story flowed well and the plot and dialogue were awesome. I really do enjoy this author's work.

Wonderful
A Wonderful single Dad story.
Loved the storyline and the characters and their connections between each other.
Fell in love with Haydn and Mallory.
It took them a while to get there but it was worth it in the end for them to finally get their HEA.
Absolutely adored Booker.

2.5 ⭐️
The story itself was so good and I loved it. I sadly skipped through most of the book because of the insane (way too much) amount of 'thoughts' that were written down. I had to skim through it to get the important parts out of it and drop all the constant thoughts that were repeated over and over.

Fell short
This book had the makings for a great story but the characters were very shallow and somewhat immature in their actions. They story just didn’t flow well or pull me in. Needed more depth and reality.

Love Me Last: A Single Father Love Story
A cute read. The up and down of finding true love. The chemistry between Mallory and Hayden was awesome. Through all what they were going through their personal and private life, they got it all.

First impressions are not always correct !
Liked the characters in this book, their personalities and chemistry, but there was too much uncertainty and way to much thinking going on in their heads.
Kinda of a slow read.

This story had so much potential.
My 2nd book by this author - I loved the other book, but this was just clumsy in the delivery. Many times towards the end I found myself quickly skimming through the bla, bla, bla..

Mallory and Hayden had their share of problems. But what relationship doesn't. When you are willing to talk things workout for all.

I really like the books written by this author. This one is very good. There are twists and turns I did not expect and always love his leading men. The chemistry was great and the sex even better.

I really liked this one, but it was rife, I mean rife with anxiety issues. Overthinkers anonymous! I should know, I'm a card-carrying member.

Great story and how he finally found someone that I could put the book down until the end.

Predictable
Slow and predictable. Characters not really developed well. Why brother single?
Why not working days while son, Boomer in school?

Great sweet story
It was a great story and I really liked it. I love the way they balance each other and move past ‘we’re too different’ to ‘we compliment each other.’

Hayden n Mallory
It was a nice read for a chill day. However, not one that thrilled me compared to many other books I've read by you, Wes. Love the idea of a female boss, though. 😊

There was so much repetition. We were told the same thing over and over. Mallory was so judgmental. I didn't like her. There were lots of explicit sex scenes.

The story is really really great. Loved how the relationship between Mallory and Hayden progresses and how they look out dor Booker.

Tremendous story lines with a professional female entrepreneur and the father of her son. Only he doesn’t know it yet

Love me Last by Weston Parker is a Single Dad Love story. The storyline is fresh, smooth and amazing while every characters in the story just stole my heart.Away from the stereo type billionaire bad boys, outlaws and cowboys, this time Weston Parker came up with an ordinary man's love story who we meet in our day to day life.
Hayden, a freelance auditor with a six year old son, Booker, who was dropped by one of Hayden's hookup by his doorsteps. He has a brother, Ace, who loves his brother and nephew and ready to anything for them. Ace always tries to settle Hayden making him meet new woman, fixing up dates but Hayden always cancels his date before or on the spot.
On the other end, Mallory, single woman who is has taken over her grandfather's winery after her mother falling sick with cancer. She finds out through her financial officer, Charlie that there is a problem in the account books and they have to be found before the IRS arrives for the audit.
Ace and Charlie plays the role of Cupid in these two people, when Ace, being Mallory's gym trainer sets her up on a date with Hayden. Though the date doesn't goes great, unexpected they both made to meet again when Charlie hires Hayden to audit the account. From their how Hayden and Mallory's love shapes up is the story.
There is no twists and nails biting movement, the story moves super smooth as lead gradually fall for one another. When Hayden is the best dad to Booker, Mallory is the best daughter to her mother. This story has sensual hot scenes but mostly deals with emotions. Time worth reading.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of the book.

Who knew numbers and accounting could be this hot? And as the story turns up the heat, it layers on the sweet. One of the things I love most in a Weston Parker book is how important the family bonds are. In some books, those bonds are made of razor wire, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Others – and the ones I love the best – are like this one, where those bonds are forged of adamantine; tying hearts and souls together in love for lifetimes. Hayden and Mallory strike sparks from each other from the very first moment we see them together. That reaction doesn’t change much throughout the rest of the story, only what they do with it. Add in some scene-stealing family and friends, Booker and Uncle Ace are pretty darned adorable, and this was a book I couldn’t put down until I had finished it. Maybe we’ll be lucky and in the future there’ll be books about his brother or her best friend.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
