THE SINGLE DAD DILEMMA by Kat Savage is AVAILABLE NOW
Blurb:
From USA Today Bestselling Author Kat Savage, comes a brand-new spinoff series: Family of Misfits! If you fell in love with the found family in the Men of Bird’s Eye series, travel south to Nashville, where the second studio location is up and running under the ownership of a familiar face with a new crew of artists!
Ridge Jessup is many things—an award-winning tattoo artist with celebrity clientele, the manager of the Bird’s Eye Tattoo Studio Nashville location… oh, and a thirty-five-year-old single father to a rowdy little girl.
With work getting busier, convention season coming up, and his daughter booted from her third daycare this month, he’s in desperate need of summer help. Forget about having a personal life or dating—he’s just trying to survive.
Darcy Anderson is a handful of credits short of her degree and broke. The college fund her grandmother left her didn’t withstand the test of time or inflation.
When she sees an ad for a summer nannying job, it seems perfect—one kid, weekdays only, and compensation well above average. It almost seems too good to be true.
The moment Ridge lays eyes on Darcy, he really doesn’t want to give her the job. She’s hot, smart, and funny—a dangerous combination that feels disastrous—especially with the ten-year age gap between them. But of all the candidates interviewed, his daughter only likes her. It’s a real dilemma.
Despite his best efforts to keep their relationship professional, things get hot and heavy as complications continue to mount. Darcy finds herself torn—her practical brain still preparing for the perfectly planned future she envisioned for herself while her fairytale-loving heart is looking to override everything for a single dad and his little girl she doesn’t want to walk away from.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
The Single Dad Dilemma is a super sweet single dad/nanny romance. Reading Darcy and Ridge’s romance was a great way to spend a rainy weekend day.
Ridge desperately needs a new nanny thanks to his rather spirited 4-year-old daughter, Louise (aka Lou), being kicked out of every daycare in the city. Darcy needs a good-paying summer job to bank tuition money and finish up her master’s degree in early childhood education. It’s a win/win for them both — especially since Darcy and Lou hit it off right away. There’s an instant attraction between Darcy and Ridge that they try to fight off — he’s 10 years older than her, and she’s got some baggage thanks to a bad prior relationship — but they give in to their feelings one night while they are stuck together in a hotel room.
There is some drama with Darcy’s ex-boyfriend that Ridge handles relatively swiftly in a hot scene where he plays her knight in shining armour. However, I wish there was more explanation given about her past with Tyler; what seems like what should have been an important conversation happened off-page and was referenced briefly, and I felt like it deserved more to propel Darcy and Ridge forward together.
But overall, The Single Dad Dilemma was a great start to a new series. It’s a spinoff from the Men of Birds Eye series, featuring a new cast of characters working at the tattoo shop’s Nashville location, and I look forward to getting to know the other guys better!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
Meet Kat Savage:
Kat Savage resides in Louisville, Kentucky with her three beautiful children, her hunky spouse, and two spoiled dogs. She secretly has hopes of getting chickens one day.
By day, she’s an office manager, pushing paperwork and dreaming. When she’s not at her nine-to-five, she’s writing. Or thinking about writing. Or preparing books and book stuff to procrastinate writing. Or quite possibly, designing stuff for other people’s books.
She was driven to write out of a need for distraction and self-preservation after the death of her sister in 2013. Since then, it’s snowballed into a full blown passion she can’t escape. Even on the toughest days, she wouldn’t want to.
She writes poetry packed with real, raw, and sometimes ugly truths. She won’t lie. Her goal is to make you ache, in that perfect delicious way we often secretly crave.
Shortly after putting her poetry and prose out into the world, she turned to novel writing. Savage is a natural storyteller, getting better with each book. She tries to give the characters in her novels depth, whether they’re serious or comical, she builds them in layers with the hope that you see a little of yourself in some of them.
