Real Deal (Single Dads Club Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Piper Rayne (Author), Love N Books (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 2,013 ratings
Red Flags...

Too loud.
Too clingy.
Too much make-up.

I could go on and on. The other guys in the Single Dad's Club would say I'm obsessed with finding them. But none of their kid's mothers call a maximum-security prison home either, so their opinions mean shit.

Caterina Santora has her own list of red flags...

She's too young.
She's my client's daughter.
She's my five-year old's camp counselor.

Even after repeating this mantra to myself every morning on the way to Lily's summer camp, guess what happens the moment I see Cat? Yeah, that mantra turns into ride me, doggie style and reverse cowgirl.

Every. Damn. Time.

The fact that she doesn't remember me from six years before grates on me until I don't have it in me to leave her alone any longer. I have to have her. But our lives are opposites in every way. In no way compatible.

When we're together all the complications fade away and I have to keep reminding myself, even if I can have her— I can't keep her.

    This writing duo gets better and better with each new story! With the first book in their new Single Dads Club series, they've brought us a more serious contemporary romance with a splash of their classic humor and insanely sexy men. Marcus was the perfect mix of protective father, control freak, and hot, sexy, dirty-talking lover. Cat didn't stand a chance of resisting his charms. Likewise, Marcus was in way over his head with this forward, sweet, loving, and gorgeous woman. Their chemistry was off the charts and banter was fun, flirty, and scorching. I loved every moment of their journey to happily ever after. In addition to Marcus and Cat's romance, I adored the family dynamic that was so natural among these two and Marcus' daughter, Lily. She and Cat had a wonderful and beautiful connection all on their own.

    Piper Rayne always builds wonderful worlds and relationships around their main characters. Each person plays an essential role in the development of the story as well as that of future couples. And of course, Piper Rayne had to include that one outrageous friend. Dane is the male equivalent to Lennox in this trio. He was necessary to breaking up the seriousness of Marcus and Garrett. Then we have the three girls, Cat, Ava, and Charlie. I have a pretty good idea what their futures hold with these dads and their kids. These new friends are going to have their hands full. Ha!!! And if you've read the Modern Love series, you'll feel right at home catching up with Cat's family and the other ladies from that series, especially when she introduces her new friends to my favorite hashtag, #unicorncock; now they've added two new ones-#groincleavage and #sexpack.

    Real Deal is the first title in the new series the 'Single Dad's Club' by the writing duo of Piper Rayne. Cat and Marcus' story is well written, told in a dual point of view, and is a perfect blend of heart, heat and humor.

    This pair of characters were quite intriguing, some of Marcus' personalities traits I didn't love, but I didn't hate him either, whereas I found Cat to be quite endearing. I found Marcus to be quite guarded, and private, and he has issues with trust, due to his past relationship. The age gap between Cat and Marcus was on the bigger side, but I still felt the connection and chemistry was believable and intense. The love scenes that this pair share are incredibly hot, and steamy!
    I've got to admit, I haven't read many books of the single father trope, but really quite enjoyed this sweet and sexy story and I thoroughly adored Lily's character. The overall banter was fun, flirty and humorous.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the side characters, and eagerly await their stories. Although this was my first time reading anything written by Piper Rayne, it definitely will not be my last. Overall a really enjoyable read that i'm sure contemporary romance lovers will really enjoy. I can't wait for the next installment in the Single Dads Club.

    If only I were single and Climax Cove were real????

    Hats off to the writing team of Piper Rayne. It is still amazing to me after reading their past books The Bartender, The Boxer, The Banker ( who we see glimpses of in this series) that these books are written by two gals as one writer. So perfectly. And Real Deal continues this tradition.

    Marcus and Lily are a team. Single hot dad raising his young daughter. It is not the life he would have chosen, but he does it well.

    We met Cat briefly in her sister's Thalia book "The Boxer". She was younger there. No worries if you haven't read those, you can always catch up later....lol. I highly recommend it! Cat is a talented artist who is going to share that love of art with the kids at the day camp she will be working at. A very UNIQUE CAMP... Camp for Children of Single Parents Only. Yep if your folks are married you can't come here. Great idea for a camp started by a single dad.

    Funny thing happens on the first day of summer camp....
    Marcus sees this vision leaning over into her trunk of her car. All long, tan legs. He can't stop looking. He doesn't even notice Lily needs to get to her place in camp. Then the vision stands up and turns around..... Is it? Could it possibly be the one person who Marcus could not stop thinking about even though he sent he packing?

    Grab Real Deal and find out. You love it!!! I can't wait for more Single Dads Club Books!!!

    Reviewed in Brazil on May 26, 2017

    Este é meu primeiro livro do duo Piper Rayne e revelou-se uma agradável surpresa. O livro teve boas avaliações e foi recomendado na época do lançamento.
    A história conta o romance de Marcus e Caterina que se conheceram quando ela era ainda uma mocinha saindo da adolescência e ele, 10 anos mais velho, se via num momento de vida complicado com a descoberta da gravidez da namorada.
    Seis anos se passam e Cat e Marcus se reencontram, ela com 24 e ele com 34 anos. Cat é, então, a supervisora da turma de Lily (a adorável filha de 5 anos de Marcus) na colônia de férias de verão.
    Inevitavelmente, Cat e Marcus se aproximam. Seis anos depois do contato inicial ele se encontram em diferentes fases de suas vidas, sentem-se atraídos e resolvem manter o relacionamento durante o verão, até que Cat parta para New York para alavancar sua carreira de pintora.
    Os autores criam um romance que conquista a atenção e o coração do leitor logo nas primeiras páginas: personagens principais e secundários são charmosos, interessantes e atraentes, história prende a atenção o tempo todo e o conflito criado entre os personagens (apesar de um pouco previsível) é coerente com a trama principal, sem exagero no drama e sem esticar desnecessariamente a conclusão.
    Eu adorei o casal protagonista, Marcus e Cat. Ambos demonstram sentimentos e reações verdadeiros o que provoca imediata empatia por parte do leitor. Cautelosos com o envolvimento afetivo que vai aos poucos intensificando, eles transmitem os sentimentos e reações de pessoas reais vivendo situação semelhante na vida real.
    Pontos extras para a doce Lily, uma fofa, e para os amigos de Marcus e amigas de Cat, responsáveis pelos momentos família doces e engraçados.
    Real Deal, essencialmente, é um romance que trata do amor entre pais e filhos, da confiança entre os pares, da dedicação entre os que se amam. O tema é tratado de forma realista, porém pegando leve nos aspectos dramáticos. Para quem procura uma história doce, sexy, com vários momentos românticos, engraçados e com pouco drama esta é a pedida. Não perca.

    I loved it! Well written, well developed characters, funny, sexy, this book has it all! I loved how Marcus cares so well for his daughter and is actually also a really nice guy while being really hot too! Catarina you gotta love, she is sweet, funny and loves not only Marcus , but his little daughter too. Throw in some other hot single daddies that don't know how to behave themselves and a couple of cool and feisty roommates and you have yourselves a story!
