Romance books have some great dads who make our hearts swoon.  These men listed below are fathers either by their own loins or from their hearts but either way, they’re great dads none-the-less.  They’re listed in no particular order:

1. Zach from Falling for Jillian➜ Zach is a veteran of the Iraq War who came back to the family ranch to raise his preteen son after the boy’s mother took off. He’s struggling to re-establish a relationship with his son, and warding off the demons of PTSD, which still haunt him. Amy’s review 

2. Lola’s two dads from Lola and the Boy Next Door ➜ Lola is this girl whose parents are two dads. Her mom gave her up and her uncle and his partner adopted her. I loved how her dads parented her.  Amy’s review

3. Ryker from Ryker ➜  Since his wife left him, Ryker has been balancing life as a pro-hockey star and a single parent to two daughters. Management is waiting for him to screw up. The fans are ready to pounce. Everybody’s taking dirty shots—except for the fiery redhead whose faith in Ryker gives him a fresh start.  Amy’s review | Kim’s review 

4.  Joe from At Peace ➜  During a cold winter night Violet has to leave her warm bed to tell her neighbor to turn the music down. And that’s when she meets sinister, scarred, scarily attractive security specialist, Joe Callahan. Amy’s review
