Shirley
After years of living in a small town, I finally left to pursue life as an artist in the big city. I love every minute of my work and never once looked back. But after gram-gram passed, I’m all my gramps has, so moving back to my hometown was an easy decision.
Luckily, I know people who help me get a job on the big ranch while I’m here.
But when an older man pays a visit to the ranch, I want to ride his noble steed.
Chuck is smoldering, sophisticated, and his Dad Bod gives me more to love.
But will our large age gap keep us from falling in love?

Years of investments after a nasty divorce have paid off for me. I’ll have financial freedom for the rest of my life and can shower my one and only nephew with anything he wants. But somedays I wish I had a family of my own.
This year my nephew wants a horse, and thankfully, I know the perfect place to get one.
When a free-spirited cowgirl gets me exactly what I need, she paints us together.
Shirley is younger, breath-taking, and I want to show her how it’s done.
But can I prove to her that age is just a number when it comes to love?

About the author

I write short, sweet, and steamy romance books. I LOVE celebrations and getting dressed up, but on a relaxing night, you can certainly find me curled up on the couch with wine, snacks (lots of snacks), my dog, and my favorite book.
I love having my characters find their happily ever afters.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis feel good story brings Shirley and Chuck together after very destructive relationships. I adore Shirley for her gentle, loving treatment of her grandfather. The way she consciously made sure he kept his self respect. Chuck is a gem of a man who didn't let his hateful ex destroy his character. These two are just sweet and loving together. Loving this collection!!
I received this book as an ARC from Booksprout for my honest voluntary review.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseShort sweet story. Shirley moves back to her hometown of Swillville to take care of her Gramps. She has to convince him that it was really her idea to come home to get away from her ex boyfriend. She's working for her friend at their horse ranch when Chuck gets her attention in the barn. He's there to pick out a horse for his nephew. There is an instant attraction between Shirley and Chuck but there is some drama with his ex-wife. It was a cute story but nothing to write home about. No mention of his Dad Bod and that's suppose to part of this series.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI've given this two very generous stars. I highly considered giving it one but I guess I was feeling nice.
This is the second book in this series I've read about "Dad Bods" that didn't have a dad bod in site. Hey, I'm not picky, you don't have to say the phrase "Dad Bod" just describe it for me. Nope, this author doesn't even give a description of the heroes body. I DO know that he dyes his hair brown though so thanks for that author.
I swear it's like this was a bad, reject story that she had already written and just tossed it into this series to get some extra readers.
Besides the fact that it has nothing to do with this series the story was stupid. They had two five minute conversations over 24 hours and then had sex in a feed store where his ex-wife just happens to pop up and then walk away. After that, he goes out blindly, buys both her and her best friend buildings, and then tells her he loves her. I mean, I'm all for instalove but this was ridiculous. They had zero spark and it was just unbelievable.
Give this one a wide berth.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis was a good book. The characters were realistic and relatable to an extent. The storyline flows smoothly. I just don't understand where the entire dad bod came into this book. He wasn't a dad and doesn't become one in this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2022Format: KindleI've read a lot of books written by Scarlett Woods; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.
This is part of the Dad Bod – Men Built for Comfort Series; it is a stand-alone short story. The story is about Shirley & Chuck.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseLove this series, but this book was really hard to see any chemistry/romance/attraction between the 2 characters. They met and that's it? Lackluster
