Pining for My Father’s Best Friend by Evie Croft
Hunter Dawson wasn’t always a sourpuss. But that’s what happens when you go so long wanting something you can’t have.
Except he could have me. If he was willing to date someone fourteen years his junior. And then there’s that other little problem that ensures we can never be together. My dad.
When Hunter moved to Love Valley, he smiled at me all the time. He made me feel seen. But then things started to change.
For both of us.
Now, I can’t stop pining for my father’s best friend any more than I can stop breathing. At least, not when I see him every single day.
Which is why I’m moving. Far away, where hopefully the demons of my desires can’t catch me.

Pining for My Father's Best Friend, part of the Dad's Best Friend series, was about 24-year-old Piper Huxley, a bartender, and 38-year-old Hunter Dawson, the owner of his own business.
This book was short but sweet, with only a touch of angst, a mild bit of drama, and just a smidge of spice. The novella was easily read in under 30 minutes, but it was enjoyable from start to finish. There wasn't a lot to the story, so the main characters didn't have any background information, and the only way the reader knew how old they were was that the Blurb stated the MMC was 14 years older than the FMC, and the FMC stated she had lived in her town for 24 years. It was easy to deduce from that information as to the MMC's age.
With it being so short, there wasn't time for any growth to be seen from the characters. Also, the only drawback to the book was that it started years after the two had already met, developed feelings for, and (apparently) had already attempted to have a relationship that one or the other got rejected for.
All said and done, it was a nice read and deserved a three-star rating. I couldn't give it anything higher because it lacked years' worth of information that it desperately needed.
