There’s something heartwarming about reading a single father romance. Maybe it’s the devoted dad balancing parenthood, work, and love, or the emotional depth that comes with characters learning to open their hearts again. Whatever the reason, single father romances remain one of my favorite tropes to read.
If you’re looking for your next great read, here are some of the single father romance books I’ve read for your TBR list. I’ve also included some from other subgenres beyond Contemporary in the list.

My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
