Love Notes & Lifelines

Single Dad Hotline, Book 1

By: Avery Maxwell

Narrated by: Samantha Brentmoor, Connor Crais

The job was simple. Always answer the phone—no exceptions—then solve the caller’s catastrophe as efficiently as possible.

The rules were simpler. They contact you, not the other way around. Never give them your real name, number, or any personal information not required to help a newly single dad keep his head above water.

And never, ever get involved with a caller.

Simple, right?

Becker Hayes was not who I was expecting to call during my shift with the Single Dad Hotline. He’s my boss’s boss. In the boardroom he’s rich, powerful, detached. In my calendar he’s the enigmatic one-time kiss I was never supposed to see again. But on the other end of the phone, he’s vulnerable and reeling from becoming guardian to his young nieces.

I’m not thinking straight when I offer him a little help off the books. Not when my mother’s illness is winning the battle and I’d give anything for a distraction from the loneliness.

So when the Single Dad Hotline blows up my life, what’s a girl to do but say yes to everything he’s offering?

Dang it Daisy! this book kept me laughing

This has to be one of the best books I listen to all year. I laughed so hard and then sobbed. The characters were very real and their stories were told with away you rooted for them through the entire book! If you want a good story you can't put down and people looking at you like you are completely nuts , when you laugh out loud, this book is for you

Couldn’t stop listening !!!

Great story, heartwarming. I loved it from beginning to end. I laughed, smiled, had goosebumps and blushed a few times. I’m adding this author to my favorites list

Real communication

I really appreciate that Avery Maxwell’s characters learn to communicate as a foundation for their relationships. These two do not know how at first, and they have serious baggage, but they eventually communicate well and start a healthy relationship.

laughter and tissues

Where to start.. this story is my far my favorite. Stella and Becker find each other through Single Dad Hotline. He recieved custody of his nieces. what ensures is comedy, daisy dog, heartbreak and an evil lady. Avery Maxwell had a few twists or turns I didn't see coming.

but let me tell you, the Narrators were 10 stars. Conner Crais and Samantha Brentmoor knocked this story out. they were amazing and perfect for the roles.

All the feels

God this book made me cry so much - well done . Not just a love story of a couple but of a family . Two people with plenty of baggage figuring of life together . Such a beautiful story!
