The Single Daddy Club: Derrick is the first of three books about bachelor friends supporting each other as they are raising children on their own. Derrick is raising his godson Timmy, becoming his guardian after his cousin's death.  Anna, Timmy's kindergarten teacher, has been hurt before and wants to avoid romantic relationships. After a heated discussion during a conference to discuss the behavior problems Timmy is displaying in class, Anna reluctantly agrees to help Derrick with some parenting lessons.Donna Fasano has created another sweet romance filled with conflicts, misunderstandings, and passion. I enjoyed watching Derrick become confident in handling Timmy's manipulative testing, which leads to stabilizing his godson's life. Anna's fear of becoming involved with Derrick to keep her secret safe and trying to avoid her growing feelings for him were agonizing to witness. The situations with the students in the classroom setting were like many I have had while teaching. The children's dialogue was realistic, witty, and honest. Donna's descriptive language paints vivid pictures of her characters' feelings, and draws you into the story.  I am looking forward to reading Jason and Reece's stories as they search for their happily-ever-after.
