GRR Reviews Single Dad's Waitress by Amelia Wilde

Single Dad's Waitress is basically a fling to a thing, between two wounded people. The complications are thoroughly average though.

Ryder and his daughter Minnie moved to a little town and needed some breakfast. He's not ready for love, having dedicated his life to his work and his daughter after his girlfriend (and mother of his child) walked out. He was burned out and took a summer out to just be happy with his daughter. He didn't count on encountering the hot waitress, Valentine. Val was dumped by her ex Conrad, fired when she embarrassed the boss (Conrad is boss's son) and had a pregnancy scare that she just basically ran back home and took the first job available. She's friendly with the locals, whom she knew. She didn't count on meeting the sexiest stranger ever... or accidentally spraying him with whipped cream (for her Mickey Mouse pancakes). Ryder knew Val and him would be good together, but it'd just be a summer fling. Right?

The complications are typical when Conrad showed up wanting to take her back, and Ryder was called back to work. The insta-love/lust was a bit meh. Once the libido was dialed down a bit it feels a lot better and believable.
