Anton by Sadie King
4.0
This is book five of the All the Single Dads series and the main characters are single dad and silver fox Anton, and Eden his babysitter. Eden babysits regularly for him, looking after his eight year old son Marcus, after he won full custody of his son in a divorce. Eden likes him a bit more than she should considering he is old enough to be her father. She is trying to save up for a trip to Vegas and needs every dollar she can earn. When she is asked to go to Chicago to look after Marcus, while he has to attend an important business meeting, she jumps at the chance to finally earn enough to go to Vegas. Anton’s ex-wife has messed him about and was supposed to be having Marcus that weekend. Now Eden has an all expenses paid trip to Chicago and all she has to do is occupy Marcus during the day. Anton becomes very aware of her on the flight as they are seated next to each other and their legs end up touching. He thinks Eden couldn’t possibly be interested in him, but her body language is saying something completely different!
When they have a meal together in his room, after Marcus crashes out exhausted, she is nervous and drinks her wine really quickly and quite a lot of it as well, ending up tipsy and wanting him! She has never been with anyone, but is certainly getting some tingly sensations she wants more of. The way she blows on her soup to cool it down enough to eat it, has him hot under the collar as well, and can’t resist kissing her at last. They are saved from any further drunken moves on her side, by Marcus emerging hungry from his room. The next day they go further and have a steamy night together, with him introducing her to all the pleasures being together can bring. When they return back home, he keeps seeing her but only when Marcus is asleep at night and he never goes out in town with her. A few weeks later, her sister Amy asks her about their relationship and points out that it seems that all he is using her for is for a booty call, not a proper relationship! He isn’t ready to make their relationship public, but that is more for his son Marcus sake after the break up with his mother. Amy helps her see her relationship with Anton for what it is and it certainly isn’t what she really wants. She turns down Anton the next time he calls as it seems he may never be ready for a public relationship with her. The ball is now in Anton’s court as to what might happen next and whether they will be together again. A nice steamy romance, where it is the words of wisdom from a child that forces a final decision! I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.
