Here's my review: "The Dad Next Door" is a love inspired novel about taking risks and finding love. Claire has inherited an old rundown farm from her estranged father in an inheritance. As she starts her quest to transform this land to a foster home rehab; she finds herself falling for hot cop Joe. Joe has his own set of issues. While recovering from being shot in the line of duty, his estranged twelve year old is dropped on his and his mother's doorstep and wants nothing to do with him. Meeting Claire changes everything, his daughter opens up, life is moving well until the town comes to arms to stop the foster home. Will Claire's dreams be crushed before they even begin? How will Joe and Claire grow closer, will they find true love? Even though this isn't my usual cup of tea, I find myself drawn to it more and more. Overall I find myself giving this novel five stars! The writing flows effortlessly and there's twists and turns along the way to keep you engaged. It leaves you wanting more whenever you have to part with it, but I think the ending wrapped things up with a nice little bow. Thank you Ms. Dees for re-introduction me to a genre I long so forgot. "This review is done on my own accord, I received the book for a free honest review and am no way obligated to give it high ratings." 4.5 Stars Have you ever read the first book in a series and loved the characters so much, you immediately check to see who will star in the other books in the series? Well, that’s exactly how I felt after reading Stephanie Dees’ Dad Next Door (book one in the Family Blessings series). There is so much to say about this book, the longing for a place to call home, the discovery that family comes in all shapes, sizes, and configurations, that small towns have prejudices that newcomers often have to overcome, that building trust takes time, and more. Dees addresses each of these (and more) in a cohesive way that draws the reader in and invites them within the circle of community she’s created. Joe Sheehan and Claire Conley find common ground in their childhood and both still struggle with finding a place they belong. Add in a twelve-year-old daughter who Joe wasn’t aware he had until recently, and the cycle repeats itself. But the hope of that being broken with Claire’s dream of a home where foster children can find love and belonging shines throughout this story. And the best news? There are three more books in the series so I get to spend more time with the people of Red Hill Springs.
