The Falcon and the Foe (Single Dads Club #1) by A.J. Truman

This was lots of fun and I plan on reading the rest of this series, but I did have a few issues with it. My biggest issue was how they both referred to their genitals at times. ‘Meat’? Really?

Also, as with most enemies-to-lovers I find myself reading, the jump to the lovers part seemed to happen in hyper speed. I loved when they got together, and I particularly loved that we got both their POV’s so we could really see where they were at. But because we got both their POV’s we also could see how mean they were to each other, and like the really meant it at the time.

Russ was really mean to Cal, everyone was mean to Cal. I hated it! When they jump to the lovers part, Russ is great, but everyone else still sucks. Now Cal is no angel, I understand he is a single parent who is under a lot of pressure, especially around his time, but the dude was a little too dismissive of other peoples time. His attitude was mostly ‘get over it’ and sorry my man, you’re an adult, life just does not work that way. You can tell I have real feelings about time keeping, but I wasn’t always, and it’s something I’ve had to be very mindful of because I’ve learned that my time isn’t more important than everyone else’s. Now don’t get me wrong, if someone is running late, and they let me know, I will have zero issues with it. Even if they do it a lot, I just hate having to actually wait for people. So if a friend is running late and lets me know, then I’ll make a plan for doing something until they get there, order my food, order a drink, wonder the shops, start the thing without them! Being forced to stay in one place, and not do anything is the worst, so in the age of instant communication, I just need to be able to weigh my options. Mostly I’ll find the closest place that does a good cocktail. 😀

There were also a few plot holes that once I spotted I couldn’t stop thinking about, like the boys age never changes. And I feel like a little bit more information about how a single person adopts a baby? I’m led to believe that’s super difficult?

All in all this was fun though, and at times pretty hawt. Some of the sexy talk made me eyeroll, hello ‘meat’, but they also both knew what they liked, and weren’t shy about getting it, and that was nice to read!

Synopsis:

Two single dads. One huge grudge. And one tiny tent. 

It’s hard enough balancing two jobs with raising my son solo. Forget dating. I barely have time for laundry.

But when my son’s scouting troop The Falcons needed a co-scout leader, I couldn’t say no. There’s just one ginormous problem: the other scout leader Russ.

To all other parents, he’s #DadGoals, Mr. Sexy Widower who lords over the drop off line.

To me? He’s the bane of my picket-fenced existence – stuck up, anal (not in the fun way), and definitely the person who got me booted from the Parent Teacher Association. I can’t let him wrest control of The Falcons and have history repeat itself – no matter how hot he looks in his khaki uniform.

Thing is, the more we work together, the more I glimpse the caring man lurking under the cold exterior. Maybe he isn’t the completely wretched human being I thought.

We’d both sworn off romance to focus on fatherhood, and nothing’s going to change that, not even sharing a too-small tent in the wilderness.

Right?

The Falcon and the Foe is an MM enemies-to-lovers romance containing hot single dads, sizzling snarky banter, pitched tent puns, skinny dipping, and an HEA. It’s the first in the Single Dads Club series, but can be read as a standalone.
