ARC Review: Sweet Thing by Kate Meader

I just found out I’m a dad.
My one-night stand dropped a baby bombshell in my local bar where I was celebrating my team’s win. Then she fled, leaving me holding my new daughter.
Thank God for Adeline. The daughter of my teammate and closest friend on the Chicago Rebels, she practically raised her little sister and knows exactly how to deal with this situation. I need a nanny; she needs a job. Problem sorted, right?
Not so fast …
Adeline
I think you’re the sexiest guy alive.
That’s what Lars Nyquist overheard me say while recounting my embarrassing crush on him. Yeah, that Lars Nyquist. Defenseman for the Chicago Rebels. Owner of the thickest thighs in the league. More than a decade my senior. Oh, and my dad’s teammate.
My only option? Leave the country, of course. Luckily, I’d already planned a round-the-world trip with my bestie and by the time I returned to Chicago a year later, I expected my blunder would be long forgotten. Shows what I know. Now I’m lying awake in the bedroom next to his while playing nanny to his surprise little girl. But I can ignore this stupid infatuation. I have to. Even though the sight of Lars learning to be a dad leaves me breathless and takes that crush to a whole other level.
One that has the potential to break my sorry little heart …
I always look forward to reading stories by Kate Meader. She writes fun to read romances with characters that make you want to know more about them. Many of those characters seem to show up a lot and one of them is Theo Kershaw. You have love him and his family. Now here we are enjoying a story with is daughter as the heroine.
First off, it's hard to think that Theo is old enough to have a daughter that old. Second, holy crap I'm feeling old. The wonderful thing about Theo is the life he brings to a story so image in that story is about his daughter.
I love how Lars stood for his baby girl. Being thrown into something like that is rough. The shock of it alone had to have him freaking out. I love a single dad story, and Lars makes you love them more. The love and care he has for his baby girl just warms your heart.
Right away you can feel how much they want each other. The pull of these two is strong and because of Lars's friendship with Theo it was tricky. I felt it was handled pretty well. I liked how the story handled all the tricky parts. I do kind of wished we had a bit more of the romance between Lars and Abby but that might just be me.
This is a great start to a new series. The only thing I wished was different was that it wasn't written in first person. I'm not a fan of that writing style so that made it a little hard on me. The story will make you happy that we have another one coming soon. 
This sounds really good to me.
