Meet Stone Dooley, a top-notch doc and a super dad to his twin girls, Megan & Madison. After losing his husband, life has been pretty tough for him. But his daughter thinks it's time for a change and she wants a new man in her dad's life. So, she sneakily signs him up on an online dating site and even sets up a date!

Stone, not too thrilled about this surprise date, decides to meet the guy just to clear things up. What was supposed to be a quick drink turns into dinner but Stone isn't ready for anything more than friendship.

Enter Theo Hill, a freelance writer whose life isn't exactly going as planned. His latest story is stuck in limbo and when Stone makes him an offer he can't refuse - becoming the manny to his girls - he jumps at the chance! Plus, Stone gets to be Theo's grandad's doc! Talk about killing two birds with one stone!

Their journey is filled with surprises and secrets waiting to be uncovered. From dealing with loss and homophobia to facing rejection from parents and custody threats - it's all handled beautifully by the author! And let's not forget about the well-drawn secondary characters who add so much depth to the story.

There were certain parts I wish were more fleshed out though, like Theo's first meeting with the twins. Would've loved to read that in detail!

The ending had me scratching my head a bit with all those new names. It wrapped up everyone's story nicely!

Big shoutout to GRR for giving me an early look at this gem! Just thought I'd share my thoughts on it!
