Since You Arrived: a single dad, small town romantic comedy (The Raider Brothers Book 4)
A baby on his doorstep. A couch-surfing woman in need of a place to stay. And one very bad idea…
Zane Raider is the last man in Smuggler’s Hideaway anyone would trust with a baby. So, of course, one shows up on his doorstep.
Which is how I end up in his kitchen, holding a bottle while trying not to stare at the way his T-shirt clings to all those muscles. I’m supposed to be the temporary nanny – just until he figures things out. He gets childcare. I get a roof over my head (and my dog gets a yard).
Easy.
Except Zane is a hot single dad with a bad boy past, a wicked smile, and a knack for making my heart race faster than his motorcycle. He smells like leather and trouble, grins like he knows exactly what I’m thinking, and somehow manages to look even better while rocking a baby at three a.m.
I keep telling myself I’m not falling for the guy who once made “commitment” sound like a prison sentence. But between the midnight feedings, his ridiculous brothers’ pranks, and the way he says our when he talks about the baby… I might be in serious trouble.
This single dad small-town romantic comedy features a man who has no intention of ever marrying – let alone having children – a woman who doesn’t understand the meaning of ‘on time’, a baby who throws chaos into the mix, and a band of prank-happy brothers who treat emotional growth like it’s a full-contact sport.

Now she’s hoping for a promotion at work, but always running late isn’t the best reference. Let’s not start on her love life. Zane can’t wait for his next adventure. That is until a knock on his door and a baby being left behind really put his whole life into question. He can’t be a dad. He loves his one night stands, but that’s it. Now he’s got a gorgeous little girl in his arms, but can she really be his, he’s always careful. What a brilliant story the chemistry between the two main characters is off the charts. However both have their own insecurities and Sloane has built her walls around her heart very high. Can the Ryder siblings and girlfriends help them admit their feelings. As always rumours spread easily around the cove and everyone becomes invested. Except will an unexpected arrival and a hospital visit put an end to them before the even admit how they feel. I can’t wait for another installment one more brother to go.

Zane is the fifth Raider brother to fall in love, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading his and Sloane’s story.
Who would have thought that a baby could make Zane see the error of his ways!
A baby is the last thing he wants to complicate his life…. but it doesn’t take long for his daughter to worm her way into his heart, along with her “temporary” nanny!
Wonderful storyline with great characters, and I absolutely loved the HEA.
