Series: Welcome to Climax

He's the big-city corporate VP slashing costs. She's the sunny, small-town toddler-whisperer in his crosshairs. It should be easier for them to keep their hands off each other.

The new guy in town may be a hot single dad-we're talking total, mouthwatering eye candy here-but that isn't stopping him from shuttering my favorite program here at Climax Parks & Rec.

Nor does it stop me from being blinded by lust and tripping over my own feet every time I see him, even though we're completely wrong for each other.

He's all business; my job is to play.

He's moved upstate from Manhattan; I've returned to my small town roots.

He's overwhelmed by his two adorable kids; doctors told me I'll never be a mother.

Oh, and did I mention that it's his job to ""re-org"" (aka ruin) everything I love about my job?

Despite all this, he's got me dreaming of something I told myself I'd given up on: a family of my own.

Warning! Do not read this book unless you love:

❤️Uptight heroes who are silly with their kids

❤️Sunshiny, Cinderelly heroines

❤️Nosy, interfering, small-town bureaucrats

❤️Possibly magical clock towers

❤️Parks and Recreation and Schitt's Creek vibes

To the reader: my romance novels are all lighthearted and humorous and the main two characters are guaranteed to find a happy ending. However, they may run into a few obstacles along the way as well as need healing from incidents in their former lives.

Reviews for The Single Dad's Guide to Recreation: a steamy small town romantic comedy

""I absolutely loved this book! Karen Grey has delivered a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud romance that had me hooked from the very first page. The Single Dad's Guide to Recreation is the perfect mix of humor, heat, and heart, with characters that feel so real, you'll wish you could hang out with them in Climax, MA. The dynamic between the tightly wound corporate VP and the spirited Parks & Rec employee was pure gold. Their banter had me grinning constantly, and the chemistry between them? Absolutely electric. I couldn't get enough of their opposites-attract tension, which was both hilarious and swoon-worthy. I'm already counting down the days until the next book in the series-Karen Grey has officially earned a spot on my auto-buy list!"" - Marlee, Librarian, NetGalley
