There's been a Libby of one incarnation or another from the beginning, but she didn't step forward to be introduced until now, and she's a much different character than I'd first envisioned, years ago. I wasn't even sure what she looked like, until I was looking through a stock photography website and spied her. At that moment, I knew she hid a secret and was the perfect woman for Garrett, a professional man who'd seen too much of what could happen to marriages and decided he enjoyed being single. Libby, with her secret and her son, is the antithesis of happy-go-lucky Garrett. What would be better than for the two of them to fall in love?

BACHELOR DAD (4.5) by Roxann Delaney: Bachelor Garrett Miles becomes an instant father after his ex-girlfriend drops their daughter on him and takes off. The only person he can turn to for parenting tips is his friend Libby Carter. Libby and her young son have been on the run from her abusive ex-husband and she’s never sure who to trust, but she can’t turn down a shared babysitting arrangement that will help them both out. Despite the leaping conclusions that nearly tangle up a great story, Delaney’s story of domestic violence, new beginnings and what makes a family is thoroughly gripping, with spot-on character development, believable dialogue and a naturally evolving relationship.

Roxann Delaney's Bachelor Dad is a wonderful story of survival, domestic violence, starting over and more. The story of Libby and Garrett is gripping from beginning to end. They seemed to have nothing in common until Garret discovers he is a dad and turns to Libby for parenting tips and a shared babysitting arrangement. They had the beginnings and makings of a lovely family life. Libby finally has someone she can not only love but also trust. Noah also gets to be a care free child without worrying about his safety and his mom's. This is a lovely story about new beginnings.
