Bonus Daddy

By: Daphne Elliot

Narrated by: Stephen Dexter, Victoria Connolly, Connor Crais, Angelina Rocca, CJ Bloom, Sean Masters

Jessica Mosely is the last woman I should be thinking about.

She was my college sweetheart. The one that got away. Now she’s back—in my office, looking like sunshine in yoga pants, and asking for my legal help. She’s back, and she brought her two daughters, who are convinced the Maine Coon cat forced upon me is some kind of Disney sidekick. (He’s not. He’s Satan with whiskers.)

I’m a grumpy over-forty lawyer who lives by rules and craves routine. Jess is chaos and coconut-scented optimism. Every time she smiles, I’m twenty again—and falling harder than ever.

She drags me to yoga and ropes me into karaoke. I’d do anything for her. Even drink the pickle smoothies her daughters whip up for me. Why? Because Jess makes me want to laugh louder, live messier, and risk everything for a second chance.

The question is—can a grumpy cat dad really become the bonus daddy she and her girls deserve?

I love how these families come together

I listened to the audiobook version of this story and once again the found family theme warms my heart. The way this author brought this family together, not just Brian, Jess and her daughters but the rest of the characters and friends is pure perfection. Great relationship building and development. Then we got the cameos from the Momcom series and it just made my day!! The narration by Victoria Connolly, Stephen Dexter, Sean Masters, Angelina Rocca, Connor Crais, and CJ Bloom was amazing. I loved every second of it!!! Great story if you are looking for a bit of a feel good, lighthearted emotional story wrapped up in some comedy and sprinkled with spice.

Dramatically delicious

I enjoyed this story :)
The story- great!
The voice acting- fantastic!
the cat- Dammit

Wow! What a wonderful story!

This was fantastic with the full cast! It was like listening to a play or live radio performance. The story itself was wonderful and heartfelt. I would love a second book with these two characters and their blended family! I will definitely be listening to the rest of this series, highly recommend!

Long lost love

Narrators did a good job. It could have been shorter. Still a good book. I would read this again.

SO GOOD

What better way to finish off the Dad Coms than finally getting Brian's story!! When he first saw Jess again after so many years, I was kicking my feet because I love a second chance story! Both of them were clearly shocked and also had never forgotten their time together. I love how sweet their relationship was back then and loved seeing them fall in love all over again. And then seeing how strong Jess and both her girls are literally just had me loving them so much more, especially when Brian's protective side came out! Overall, this was the perfect way to end the Dad Coms and I cannot wait to see more of what happens in Maplewood!

Bonus Daddy is performed in duet with a full cast and this audio was absolutely amazing!! Stephen Dexter was perfect as Brian and Victoria Connolly did an amazing job performing Jess!! And the rest of the full cast made it even better with CJ Bloom(Sloane), Connor Crais (Sully), Angelina Rocca (Lo), and Sean Masters (Cal)! If you love audiobooks, then I’d 10/10 recommend listening to this book and this series!!
