Insulting my dream woman five minutes after the hottest hookup of my life was not how I thought today was going to go.
From lovers to enemies, we find ourselves fighting more than making up. But man, when we do make up the whole house is on fire. Okay, so it's a cottage on the lake.

In the town I grew up in.

The same town I thought I left in my rearview when I answered New York City's siren call.

Now I'm back trying to figure out how I went from top of my game as a graphic novelist, to failing businessman.

Maybe the key to both is where I began.

Just when I started to get my feet under me, surprise! The hot hookup gave me a brand new project to explore. I just have to convince the woman of my dreams I'm not the nightmare she thinks I am.

And I have to learn how to write a happily ever after for all three of us.

Author's Note: Who knew pitting two authors against one another would cause so many sparks? The road to forever doesn't go smoothly when these two go from lovers to enemies, then back to lovers, but Penn Masterson is a goal-oriented guy, and Rita Savage is worth all the effort. Driven Daddy is a standalone romantic comedy with a happily-ever-after ending and no cliffhanger.

I really never tire of revisiting The Cove and the other worlds these authors have built; the books are an escape into a world we’d all like to live in. ~ Sharon – Simply Love Books

 

Driven Daddy was a great addition to this series and I found the two characters intriguing and their connection undeniable. Both characters are at a bit of a crossroads in their careers; Rita just dissolved a partnership with her writing partner and is struggling to get back in the swing thus her decision to leave NYC and rent a cabin in Crescent Cove and Penn is “back home” for a book signing at a local store and to try and figure out a way to save his struggling publishing company he started to help authors such as himself retain more of the profits from their work. I loved that Penn was so taken with Rita from the first moment he saw her though Rita was very prickly and with good reason. I would have loved more background on Rita; while some was shared I felt like it was glossed over which was a disappointment. I appreciated that Penn after putting his foot in his mouth at the very worst time, began to understand that life had not been kind to Rita and he worked hard to prove he not only understood but would be by her side. I loved watching Rita blossom as she began to feel accepted and revered even by the people in town and how she worked to form friendships and accept that people wanted her in their lives.
