Need To Have You: A Sweet Vine Single Dad Romance Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 40 ratings

Parker
Life's never easy. Complicated should be my middle name. I didn't expect my life to pan out quite this way—a single dad with a crazy-ass ex—but I got used to it. I live my life for my son while taking over the family empire my father has all but walked away from. Nothing else in the world matters...

Until she walks into my hotel armed with sass, flair and a show-stopping smile.

Summer O'Shea makes me forget all the reasons I should distance myself from any more complications. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to resist her charm. All of a sudden, complicated doesn't sound all that bad.

Summer
When I moved to LA, I had one goal: graduate design school and make a career for myself.
Turns out that the City of Stars requires more than a small town savings account. Working as a bartender in Beverly Hills isn't all that bad...it should be pretty simple...

Except for him. Dedicated father. Hands on boss. Smoking hot. Totally off-limits.

Parker Hawthorne is everything I can't resist. One look and I'm gone. Head over heels and
heart over head.

It's too bad that the heart doesn't always get what it wants.

Parker!
NEED 2 HAVE U by Alexandra Silva and Sophie Blue is the 3rd book in the Sweet Vine series. I was so excited to read more about Parker. He is everything I hoped he would be and I absolutely adored Summer. I'm a little sucker for the singe parent trope. I am loving how Alexandra and Sophie have blended their writing styles in this series. Highly recommend!

    I absolutely loved this book and was engaged from the very first pages and could not put it down. Parker is a single father and simply adores his son, Easton, and makes him his number one priority. Summer is sweet, sassy, and a bartender working in Parker’s hotel. Both Parker and Summer characters were easy to like, the chemistry between them was explosive, and I found myself rooting for their happily ever after. If you enjoy driven, swoony single dads and fun and sassy heroines, then you need to check out this book. Highly recommend!

    The writing duo of Alexandra Silva and Sophie Blue always guarantees a story full of love, steam and so much heart. Need 2 Have U revolves around single dad Parker and his employee, Summer. There is an undeniable connection between these two that they try to resist, but the attraction is too strong.

    “What makes you my one and only type is who you are inside. There’s no one else in this entire world like you. No one could live here the way you do.”

    Summer has such a big heart. She did not have an easy childhood, but she’s determined to build a brighter future for herself. She’s full of light and love and she draws people to her. Parker has been burned badly in the past and he finds it difficult to trust and let people into his world. He will protect his son at whatever the cost, but Summer breaks through the barriers around his heart. Will he be able to face his guilt from the past in order to not lose his future?

    “From the moment I laid eyes on you, Sum, I knew that you were a phenomenon. You are a once-in-a-lifetime kind of adventure.”

    This was one steamy read that is full of warmth, love, and a bit of angst. Parker and Summer really balance each other out and help each other grow. Easton, Parker’s son, is absolutely adorable and I loved watching his relationship with Summer develop. All in all, this was a beautiful love story that shows that no matter how complicated life is, there’s always time for love.

    I’m hoping that Harrison’s story is next. I need to see the woman that brings him down!!

    With his son’s mother not in a position to be there for him Parker is determined to be the best father that he can be for Easton. When you throw in managing the hotel, he doesn’t have the time or energy for anything else however his new employee is a temptation that he can’t deny.

    Summer has a lot going on in her life as well between school and work so getting involved with her boss is a recipe for disaster. From their first meeting Easton stole her heart and despite her good intentions his father is breaking through her walls as well, but will their pasts be the one obstacle they can’t overcome?

    Parker is the perfect mix of sweet and sexy while Summer is fun and feisty. There is no denying the attraction between them, but I enjoyed seeing them open their hearts to each other so that they can have the life they both deserve.

    This being my first novel by Alexandra Silva and Sophie Blue, I had no idea what I was in for, what their writing style would be, what the subject matter would be. I had zero clue. All I had was the synopsis, and believe me that was enough for me to put my hand up and say “YES PLEASE”.

    Now as I sit here, reflecting on what I’ve read, there’s only one sentence that truly comes to mind….

    What a breath of fresh air!

    A beautiful single parent romance, I fell in love with.
    Parker and Summer were explosive.
    Parker and his vulnerability, Summer and her thirst for life.
    Parker and his genuine warmth and love, Summer and her want to love.
    Their story was complete magic throughout the pages.

    “From the moment I laid eyes on you, Sum, I knew that you were a phenomenon. You are a once-in-a-lifetime kind of adventure.”

    I would also love to mention Easton. He completely captured my heart. A beautiful little boy, full of innocence and love to give. A beautiful little one who loved with every fiber of his being, who oozed all the cuteness and was simply adorable.

    If you are looking for a single Dad romance, with an abundance of warmth, heart and love then this is for you.
    If you are looking for a read to soak yourself into, to forget about your own world for a while, then this one is for you.

    Holy moly what an amazing story! I loved every single thing about this story, even the scary bits too. They were thrilling and exciting, even if a tad nerve-wracking!

    Summer is such a breath of fresh air as a character, she is fun, colourful and creative yet hardworking, determined and has an inner strength that is commendable. I absolutely loved her! Parker on the other hand… well I liked him a lot too but there were the odd times when I wanted to kick him in the pants. 😄 Mind you he’s such an honest character that he admits his mistakes. He is a dedicated father, even if he took a tad longer to find a worthwhile partner.

    Special mention must go to Easton, Parker’s son. He is the most adorable character and has been created beautifully. I really think he nearly stole the whole show. But that’s the point, these authors know how to develop fascinating and interesting characters that enhance the story making you want to read more and more.

    This story explores quite a few issues that are at times quite dark even though the story itself isn’t. These are handled well and make you ponder what you would do or how you’d feel in the situation. There is a plethora of emotions throughout the book like fear, anger, disappointment, glee, happiness and surprise to name a few. But the overwhelming emotion is, of course, a feeling of love.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful love story!

    The third book in the Sweet Vine Romance books. This single dad romance is a book that tugs at the heartstrings as Parker learns to juggle his life with his son, work and all that comes with having a child.
    Parker has always been captivated by Summer, an employee who works in his hotel. He struggles with the idea of wanting to have a relationship with her but unsure if will she get involved with him when she knows all the baggage that will come with that.
    The story follows them as they strive to have the relationship they both desire.
    I think the star of the book has to be Easton (Parker’s son), his character is so well written along with the others.
    Even though there are some hard moments in the story, it is overall a great love story and not just the love of the two main characters.
    If you are a lover of the romance genre this is an ideal book.

    Where do I start? I’ve been waiting for this book for months and it was worth the wait. I might be biased as I love Alexandra and Sophie’s books in general but when they co-write…it can only be Ah-mazing!

    I absolutely love single dad romance books and N2HU is no exception.

    Parker and Summer’s story is just cute and refreshing. Even if Parker is afraid of the age difference, he soon realises how much Summer means to him and to Easton.She also falls in love with the little guy and quickly proves that she would do anything for him.Even if it means protecting him from his own mother.
    Chapter 26 made me emotional not to mention Epilogue II !

    You will definitely fall in love with their love story

    This is a must read!
