Singled Out (ebook)

This is the first book in the Single Dad's of Dragonfly Lake series. It is a standalone story of a math teacher/coach and a free spirit artist. As both of our leading characters deal with loss, we see them denying the chemistry between them, but in the end we get our HEA. I enjoyed the small town and characters that Ms. Knupp crafted and look forward to reading more.

This new series by this talented author starts with a bang.
We are back in Dragonfly Lake, where we met the Henry brothers from previous series. This time, we’ll be spending time with the single dads in town.
Max Dawson, former NFL player and currently the HS coach and math teacher, became a father a year ago when his cousin and his wife died in an accident. He loves the little boy to pieces and is determined to stay unattached in order to dedicate his life to the child.
Harper Ellison , the daughter of the HS principal, is a waitress at the local cafe. On a dare, and with the money left for a good cause by a dear friend, she bids for Max in the bachelor auction with the purpose of having him escort her to the gala given in memory of her friend.
What starts as a fling gets complicated when feelings develop.
Will they go their separate ways or will they realize love is worth the risk?
This was a story about second chances in life and love. It’s also a story about family, discovering oneself, taking risks and taking a leap of faith.
A great start for the series.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Loved the characters and story! Fun read!

A heartwarming story with wonderful and realistic characters in a town that seems like it would be wonderful to live in. I really enjoyed Max and Harper's story and it was great to visit Dragonfly Lake again. I recommend reading this book!
I received an advanced reader copy from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Singled Out by Amy Knupp, the first in a new series set in Dragonfly Lake, TN, is just what I’ve come to expect from this author! I was anxious to return to this town (set in my home state) after finishing the Henry Brothers and I was not disappointed. The characters on the edge of the community before began to take center stage with engaging dialogue, small town dynamics -IFYKYK- and heartfelt struggles. The last being the most important because real stories - the best stories - don’t just entertain or provide escape but they offer a safe place to take a look at issues and situations that may be plaguing the reader or their family in real life. Hats off to Amy Knupp for tackling issues like grief, anxiety, and insecurity in a way that allowed your characters to overcome and maybe gave room for readers to break through their own patterns of thinking to a better life - whether you end up with a former NFL hottie or not! (Don’t worry there’s plenty of steamy fun as well!) Definitely recommend!
