Father in Training is an older book by Susan Mallery. It was part of a series called Hometown Heartbreakers and published in 1995. Having said all that, the book was certainly contemporary enough for today’s reading and had great characters.
Kyle Haynes is all grown up and is a deputy in Glenwood. He and his brothers were all painted with the same brush – handsome players. He has had a crush on one of his brother’s old girlfriends for years and guess who just turned up as his new landlord.
Sandy Walker moved back to Glenwood with her three children. As a widow, she has her hands full with her kids and being totally responsible for them. Her dead husband was always wandering off to adventure after adventure leaving her to be the responsible one. Sandy had no idea that Kyle Haynes was not the playboy that she thought, and was interested in her, ordinary as she was.
Kyle and Sandy are hot together even when Sandy is chasing him off. She has many trust issues and is afraid to let down her fears to move forward. Kyle is determined to have her see him in a true light, to trust him. Father in Training by Susan Mallery was a good read.
