Review: Father Found Daddy School

Synopsis

Jamie McCoy is the ultimate guy: thirty years old, carefree and professionally successful as the writer of a nationally syndicated humor column called “Guy Stuff.” Nine and a half months ago, he spent a week basking on the beach in Eluthera and indulging in a fling with a woman at the resort. Never did he expect to find the unplanned result of that fling—a healthy, wailing baby named Samantha—strapped into a car seat on his back porch, along with a suitcase full of diapers and infant apparel and a note informing Jamie that he’s her father. 

Maybe he is and maybe he isn’t. But first things first. He’s never fed a baby or changed a diaper in his life. He doesn’t own a crib or a stroller. In a panic, he phones the nearest hospital, where neonatal nurse Allison Winslow takes his call and tells him about a class she teaches called the Daddy School. 

Classes on how to be a dad are exactly what Jamie needs. But when he attends his first class and sees the tall, earnest, amazingly beautiful and even more amazingly competent Allison, he realizes that he might just need more from her than her lectures on how to hold a baby.  Jamie’s efforts to be a father to this precious baby touch Allison. His sense of humor amuses her. His striking good looks turn her on. But how can she trust the sort of guy who’d sleep with a stranger on vacation, without giving a thought to the consequences? How can she give her heart to such a reckless man?

Quick Thoughts

This book is awful. It is so bad I felt my brain start to melt towards the end.

The book centers around Jamie, a single, newly turned thirty year old man who wakes up one morning and finds a baby on his porch.  Jamie joins Daddy school because he is incompetent (as the author keeps repeating), falls in love with the teacher and they live happily ever after. Yawn.

Okay, to be fair this is not meant to be a serious read, it is meant to be easy and fun. It was neither fun nor easy.. I struggled to get through the first half and soon after got bored and skipped to the end. I was not impressed.
