Beefing with the Dad Bod : Dad Bod Series - Men Built for Comfort Kindle Edition
I’ve had a secret dream for a long time, and now it’s time to DIY it and start fresh. After I kick my unsupportive fiancé to the curb, I quit my corporate gig and purchase my first house—a fixer-upper that looks better on paper than it does down to the bones.
Suddenly this all feels a little too real.
To make matters worse, my new neighbor is the cocky quarterback I spent four years tutoring, Bennett Cromwell. Our love/hate relationship is still heavy on the hate, which is the last thing I need after sawing away the man who stood in the way of my happiness.
Now, I have the sexy tattoo artist doling out unsolicited advice, annoyingly helpful assistance, and sinful dreams. If I can’t keep him and his adorable puppy off my property, I may forget why I loathe him.
There’s a thin line between love and hate, and our fights leave me nailed in more ways than one.
Dad Bods made a big impression in 2021 - and they're not going anywhere! This January, some of your favorite contemporary romance authors are bringing you a sexy selection of brawny, hot Dad Bods and the women who love their men with a little something extra to hold on to.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2022Tayla leaves her fancy job and fiance to de-stress her life and start over. She buys an old house that needs a lot of work and plans on opening a new age shop. Her next door neighbor turns out to be the boy she tutored all through high school and hated at the time for his popularity and football fame. Now years later, Bennett owns a tattoo shop as art is his true college degree and not football stardom. The two hit it off now as they learn about each other and work together on parts of her house. The characters are heartwarming, with great backstories and intense feelings. The storyline was easy flowing and steamy, with unexpected support during situations and plenty of trust. Loved her friend Em, the one person who always grounded her and tell her the truth. Great ending that shows her hard-earned strength.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a fast read, but an enjoyable one. Tayla was inspiring starting over to make sure she was taking care of herself physically and mentally. I really liked Bennett. He shows he is more than who he was back in high school. He has to prove himself to Tayla, but boy does he ever! He knows it's the little things that make the biggest impact. Tayla and Bennett sure do have burning hot chemistry. It's a great read to escape for a bit.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2022I relate to a story sooo well!! The mom, hating your job, unsupportive ex...ugh you know me so well. When I tell you I'm manifesting a Bennett right now!! Lol I mean that!! It's a shame there weren't any other bwwm dad bod stories. I love a thickums and I don't often find any good stories with a hot thickums and a black woman. I'll definitely end up buying this one. Great book!!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2022For Tayla to give the only POV, she didn’t come across as the best character for a happy ending. Bennett may have been a bear in high school, but it doesn’t show in anything he does as an adult. Tayla and her family, however, are all sort of awful. In reading, it was hard to ground the events in a sense of place. The characters reference back story as casually as if we were there when these events and references gained meaning.
Bennett, however, was an expert “mouth,” and he backed it up. Totally saved the story.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2022Every single woman needs a Bennett as a neighbor. I swear, I could have used one like him as my neighbor when I bought my home. Tayla taking control of her life allowed her the freedom to accept Bennett and his support. This was a great read.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2023Great read! I loved this book. Poor Tayla, always feeling and obeying ‘mother is always right’. Until she was wrong! Even trying to force her to stay with self-absorbed Vance. Her dad was a great father and only cared about her happiness and not her status. Trevor was spoiled. Bennett brought her to life, gave her a sense of well-being and made her body hum!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2022What I love about this story is that they are a real couple. One that you would genuinely see walking down the street. They are interracial, mid thirties and our leading man actually has a dad bod unlike a few of the other “Dad Bod” books that are apart of this series. This story honestly could have been stretched out, but I was just so thrilled with the realness of the couple. Also, it is INCREDIBLY steamy!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2022Tayla and Cromwell were high school nemesis. She used to tutor him. Tayla buys the house next door to him but doesn't know it. When they see eachother there is fireworks around them. From this point on they become everything to eachother. Does it last though?

4.0 out of 5 stars "You heard how little boys pull little girls pigtails...."
Moving on with her Life Talya buys a fixer upper next door to her school bully. Bennet has always had a thing for his high school tutor. After an amazing night Tayla Ghosts Bennet as she doesn't believe she can trust her own feelings, after all she thought her ex was the one. Even though Bennet makes her feel things she's never felt before... Beefing up the Dad Bod is well written, great plot and a sweet ending. I enjoyed reading this book, Shayla did an amazing job with this story!!!
