The House Mate was a sweet, lighthearted romance that will have you wishing you were playing house with your very own Max Alexander. Kendall Ryan continues to capture our hearts as she brings forth an addictive romance that beautifully blends playfulness and sexiness. So what are you waiting for...hot single dad romance… yes, please!!!
Max Alexander is a thirty-five year old bachelor, who runs his own successful construction company. He doesn’t do relationships and commitments. So when an unexpected ex shows up at his front door and hands him a baby girl and says that he is the father, Max is completely shocked. And oh yeah, baby momma says that she can’t take care of Dylan anymore. So what does Max do? Well, the only option is to hire a live in nanny.

Addison is twenty-five years old and is in need of a job pronto. So when the opportunity came to be a nanny for Dylan, she didn’t hesitate to take the job. In fact she needed it, since it would provide her housing as well. The job should be a piece of cake for Addison since she loves kids and Dylan was a lovable baby to begin with. The only thing Addison needed to control was her attraction to hot single dad, Max.
As it turns out, the feeling was mutual as well since Max couldn’t stop thinking about Addison. He knew it was wrong to be sexually attracted to his baby’s nanny but he couldn’t help it. The more he got to know her, the more she found a way into his heart and mind. So what happens when Max acts on his attraction with Addison? Will Addison be able to still do her job as the nanny and keep a relationship with Max? Or will these two discover playing house is hard to do especially when deep emotional feelings gets involved?
Seriously, if there was ever a single dad to play house with, it would most definitely be Max Alexander. He was sweet, sexy, and oh so swoonworthy. He didn’t shy away his feelings when it came to Addison which I found very refreshing. He made his feelings and attraction known from the start. And as for Addison, she was indeed the girl next door who brought light, laughter, and fun back into Max’s life. So if you are looking for a feel good romance that is light on angst and drama but high on LOVE then this sweet and charming single dad romance is the book for you.
