Single Dads LGBTQ+ Club: Love, Hugs, & Second Chances
Architect Marcus’s life is orderly, quiet, and lonely. Teacher Leo’s life is chaotic, warm, and on pause. Their worlds collide in the one place designed for them: the Single Dads LGBTQ+ Club.
Marcus, a single father to Lily, is intrigued by Leo’s genuine profile—a fellow dad to Sofia who admits to failing at French braids. What begins with hesitant texts about parenting fails blossoms into a powerful connection over pancakes, pillow forts, and shared fears.
But merging two ready-made families is the ultimate test. They must navigate skeptical exes, blend chaotic schedules, and build trust with each other’s daughters. From designing their dream home together to facing a real-life storm that threatens it, their love is tested at every turn. Supported by a vibrant found family from the Club, they learn that true strength isn’t in going it alone, but in building a “village” strong enough to hold all their dreams.
This is a heartfelt, steamy romance about second chances, blended families, and the beautiful, messy work of building a home and a love that lasts. It’s a story that proves family isn’t just who you’re born to, but who you choose, and that the bravest thing a person can do is open their heart to love again.
Single Dads LGBTQ+ Club: Love, Hugs, & Second Chances
Sometimes love’s blueprint is found in the most unexpected places.
Marcus Thorne’s world is one of clean lines and quiet emptiness. A successful architect and a devoted single dad to four-year-old Lily, he’s built a beautiful, sterile life in the wake of his divorce—a life that feels more like a museum than a home. The echoing silence is broken only by the haunting emptiness of Lily’s car seat every other week.
Leo Hernandez is a bedrock of gentle chaos. A third-grade teacher and full-time dad to vibrant six-year-old Sofia, he’s mastered the art of messy braids, dinosaur negotiations, and maintaining a warm, amicable co-parenting relationship with his ex-husband. Yet, his own heart has been in a careful, quiet holding pattern.
Their paths cross not on a generic dating app, but in a niche online sanctuary: the Single Dads LGBTQ+ Club. It’s a community forged not just for dating, but for support, understanding, and the shared, exhausting, joyful reality of raising kids solo.
For Marcus, Leo’s profile—with its candid laugh and a bio about failing at French braids—is a beacon of realness in a sea of curated perfection. For Leo, Marcus’s hesitant, intelligent presence offers a steadiness he didn’t know he craved. Their connection sparks through shared dad jokes, panicked texts about childhood fevers, and a virtual mixer that leads to a farmer’s market meet-up that changes everything.
But this is more than a romance. It’s a careful, joyful construction project. As “Marcus-and-Lily” and “Leo-and-Sofia” tentatively become an “us,” they must navigate the delicate logistics of blending families. They face skeptical ex-partners, well-meaning but worried friends, and the towering, terrifying prospect of meeting each other’s families. They weather external storms—literal floods threatening the dream house they’re building together—and internal tempests of fear, jealousy, and the ghosts of past relationships.
Their love story is built brick by brick, hug by hug. It’s found in pancake breakfasts, secret “unicorn passages” between bedrooms, and hidden messages scratched into drywall before the paint goes on. It’s fortified by an incredible “village”—a vibrant, chosen family from the Single Dads Club, supportive exes who become allies, and biological family members learning to expand their definitions of love.
When their hard-won happiness is tested by a sudden, serious health crisis, their foundation proves its strength. And when a new dream—the hope of expanding their family through adoption—takes root, they discover that the love they’ve cultivated isn’t finite; it’s a well that grows deeper the more they draw from it.
Single Dads LGBTQ+ Club: Love, Hugs, & Second Chances is a heartfelt, steamy, and uplifting novel about finding love when you least expect it and having the courage to build a new life from the ground up. It’s a celebration of modern fatherhood, the healing power of found family, and the belief that everyone—especially single dads—deserves a second chapter filled with love, care, hugs, and a romance that feels like coming home.
Perfect for fans of warm, character-driven romances that blend family drama with deep emotional connection.

Title: “More than a romance—a manual for the heart.”
Review:
I’ve read countless romance novels, but Single Dads LGBTQ+ Club stands in a category of its own. This isn’t just about the magnetic, beautiful chemistry between Marcus and Leo (though trust me, that’s there in spades). This is a novel about the architecture of a modern family. As a single parent myself, I felt seen in the exhausting, hilarious, and tender details—the forgotten permission slips, the debates over screen time, the sheer logistics of dating when you have kids. The author doesn’t shy away from real challenges: co-parenting dynamics, societal biases, and the profound fear of getting hurt again. But the overwhelming message is one of incredible hope. The “village” of the Single Dads Club brought me to tears with its authenticity. It’s a story about how love expands, it doesn’t divide. The journey to adoption in the latter part of the book was handled with such grace and respect for all parties involved. I finished this book feeling uplifted, comforted, and fiercely optimistic. It’s a long, satisfying read that I will return to again and again. An absolute treasure.

Title: “Finally, a gay romance where the ‘Happily Ever After’ feels earned and real.”
Review:
Marcus and Leo’s story captivated me from chapter one. Their connection felt so genuine—built on shared dad jokes and mutual respect before it ever ignited into romance. I loved that their careers (architect and teacher) weren’t just set dressing but integral to who they were and how they loved. The conflict was realistic and never contrived. The “storm” chapter had me on the edge of my seat, and the health crisis storyline was written with a delicate, powerful honesty that never felt exploitative. What I admire most is how the book celebrates all forms of family. David and Sarah aren’t villains; they’re complex people working to do their best, which makes the “blended family” aspect so rewarding. The steamy scenes are perfectly placed and emotionally charged. This book made me laugh, cry, and hug my partner a little tighter. It’s a masterclass in contemporary romance, proving that the most compelling stories aren’t about finding love, but about having the courage to build a life with it once you do. I cannot wait for more stories from this ‘Club.’

Title: “A beautiful tapestry of love in all its forms.”
Review:
Where do I even begin? This book is a warm, enveloping hug. The title promises love, hugs, and second chances, and it delivers on every single count in the most beautiful way. While the central romance is gorgeous and satisfying, the true magic for me was in the sprawling, supportive community. The Single Dads Club members, the exes who become allies, the grandparents learning and growing—it’s a powerful testament to chosen family. The two girls, Sofia and Lily, are not just plot devices; they are fully realized, hilarious, and heartfelt characters. Their relationship, from the “Unicorn Passage Treaty” onwards, was a joy to watch unfold. The author has a gift for depicting domestic life that is both realistic and shimmering with love. The details—the hidden wall writings, the ugly cherished mug, the garden they plant together—weave a tapestry that makes this fictional family feel utterly real. It’s a long book, and I savored every page, never wanting it to end. It’s romantic, yes, but it’s also a profound story about healing, resilience, and the everyday miracles of building a home. Highly, highly recommended.
