Description
Sam doesn't take much interest in Nick, a surprisingly cute single dad, when he first moves in next door. After all, she's 26, working a dead-end waitressing job, navigating a situationship that's both toxic and intoxicating, and living in her mom's condo. She's too preoccupied with figuring out her life to seriously commit to anyone, let alone an ultra-dependable guy pushing forty.
With just one thin wall separating their bedrooms, Sam finds that she can't stay away from Nick. Maybe it's how endearingly nerdy he is, his love of Star Trek the perfect complement to Sam's comic book obsession. Or maybe it's how practical he is, fixing shelves and leaking faucets with those distractingly large hands...
But as Sam starts falling for Nick, she can't ignore how different their lives are. His world is stable, settled, and his daughter is right at the centre of it, while Sam still feels like everything is up in the air.
She's so busy dealing with her quarter-life crisis - is she really ready to throw daddy issues into the mix, too?

Reviews
Clever, honest, sexy, funny, emotional, unique, and deeply romantic. Kate Goldbeck is in a class by herself-no one does it as beautifully as her! * Ali Hazelwood, bestselling author of THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS *
Smart, sexy, relatable and hilarious, Daddy Issues isn't just one of my favorite books of the year, it's one of my favorite books period. . . Utterly moreish, tender and delicious with exactly the right amount of spice. I adored it. * Lindsey Kelk, author of LOVE STORY *
Daddy Issues is the kind of book I wish I could experience for the first time over and over again: it's honest and deeply romantic and almost voyeuristically real . . . This book and its writer are absolute favorites of mine. * Jessica Joyce, author of THE EX VOWS *
This book is a romance writing masterclass- I laughed, cried, and ached for their happily ever after. Sam and Nick's love story is complex, tender, and painfully real, and I would've happily gobbled up another thousand pages of their journey together. * Ava Wilder, author of HOW TO FAKE IT IN HOLLYWOOD *
Goldbeck's sharp wit shines in a perfect story of individuals growing separately and growing together * Julie Soto, bestselling author of ROSE IN CHAINS *
I adored this . . . raw and lovingly realistic, downright hilarious, achingly vulnerable, deliciously clever, witty, and smoking hot. An absolute knockout! * Chloe Liese, author of ONLY WHEN IT'S US *
BUT DADDY I LOVE IT! Daddy Issues is complicated, sexy, funny and life-affirming - I adored every crumb * Ali Rosen, author of Unlikely Story *
[Goldbeck's'] lead characters feel raw and real, and their romance sparkles. This fires on all cylinders. * Publisher's Weekly *
