Newcomer

Dads of Stillwater, Book 1

By: Ana Ashley

Narrated by: John Solo

I lost everything in the fight for my daughter....

So, with my tail between my legs and completely out of options, I ran back to Stillwater. The town that stole everything from me.

The only silver lining is...Arlo.

Arlo, who won my daughter’s heart with a simple gesture. Arlo, who charmed me before I even knew his name. And here I thought returning home was going to be yet another train-wreck.

How could I not fall for the guy who didn’t think twice about taking a phallic-looking plant into a bar for a drink.

We both have secrets, baggage, and a connection that feels more real than any I’ve had before.

But I can’t start something new.

Not in the town that still hates me and is not afraid to show me every step of the way.

Besides, I need to put my daughter first.

Can the newcomer and the returnee change the town that never changes?

Newcomer is book 1 in Ana Ashley’s new series, Dads of Stillwater.

Welcome to Stillwater where you can find single dads, sassy kids and Ana’s usual cast of intriguing secondary characters.

Wonderful

I loved everything about this book. I loved the men, the connection they had and I loved their daughter too.

Good start to a new series.

This is a prequel for the series. This was a pretty cute, sweet quick read. Levi moves back to Stillwater w/his daughter after a horrible break-up w/his ex. Arlo is the newcomer to the town. He is an artist & is trying to get his art showing at the craft fairs that Stillwater is known for. He hasn't been able to get approval. Our MC's meet when Levi's daughter starts taking classes that Arlo teaches. We get to see the sparks fly. This is a relatively angst free read. I had already read books 1-3 as I didn't know this book was out there. It didn't take away from the story.

Arlo and Levi

Newcomer is Book 1 in the Dads of Stillwater series. Welcome to Stillwater. This is such a great story. Arlo and Levi are so sweet together and Levi's daughter is just the cutest. Arlo is trying to live the life he wants and not the life his parents want for him. Levi finds himself back in town and staying with his sister while he saves for a place for him and his daughter. This book is a wonderful start to the series and has me ready for more of these amazing characters. I love small town stories and this series is a must read. Definitely recommend.
Narrator John Solo does another amazing job. He continues to be a joy to listen to.

UNITY

Levi and his daughter are moving back to his hometown after ten years of being away. He will be staying with his sister until he finds a place and saves enough money. Arlo works in an art supply store for Sage the owner. He has only been in town about a year. Arlo is sort of hiding from his family. Arlo is an artist who is trying to get a table at the local craft fair and keeps on being turned down. This book is about standing up for what is right and fair. It is also a part of a series that has heart, romance and narrow minded people.

Fun, Easy Listen

I've enjoyed this series in ebook form, and it's just as fun and easy to listen to. The characters are a mix of interesting and delightful and are sure to keep you grinning as you listen along. John Solo does a wonderful job with the narration. it was easy to tell who was talking when. I even found his voices for the children in the story to be pleasing.
