Recommendation
Man Buns is the perfect light, summer “pool day” book. I read it in one day at the beach and it had everything I was looking for. Hot ex-marine who adores his daughter. Funny, laugh out loud humor that kept the story fast paced and playful. Two characters that both wanted more out of life and just needed the other to help them live. Intrigued yet? This is a really sweet story that will keep a smile on your face and a flutter in your heart.
Excerpts
He’s my other half, the butt of my jokes, the period to my sentences, and the sun that was missing from my sky.
You’re a special woman, Kai. I knew it the moment I tried to bug you.
Publisher synopsis
** A SINGLE MARINE DAD ROMANTIC COMEDY ** I got out of the Marine Corps to give my daughter a better life. I’m a strong and capable single dad. I got this, right? Not so much.
The one thing my daughter wants is the hardest to find—a mom. It’s not like they’re selling hot intelligent women at Walmart these days, and with the amount of baggage I’m carrying around, I might be out of luck.
Yeah, so.
We moved from Oahu to Maui. I needed a job, a place to live, and to get us settled. I thought it would be simple, but let’s just say . . . mistakes have been made.
· Mistake #1: I took the first job I was offered. (Should’ve probably asked a couple more questions about the required uniform.)
· Mistake #2: I flirted with Kai, the first attractive woman who crossed my path. (So far out of my league she might as well be a Hawaiian princess.)
·Mistake #3: I fell head over heels for that woman. (See Mistake #2.)
Now I’m standing here showing my butt—no, literally. It's the required uniform at Man Buns, the restaurant I’m working at. (See Mistake #1).
In any case, I can tell you one thing—it’s damn near impossible to convince the woman I can’t live without to take me seriously when I’m serving up burgers, half-naked, and women are constantly ogling my assets.
I’ve gotta try, though. Because Kai is the woman for me, and she’s perfect with Aya. I’ve just gotta get these man buns in gear and figure out how to win her over.
