Griffin

After years of struggling as a single father to make ends meet, I’m finally content.

Until my son and I are barreled over by a puppy and its gorgeous owner.

The dog knocks my son down-literally-while the woman knocks me down-figuratively.

With her adorable accent and her taco-loving t-shirt, she has me reevaluating my life and wondering how content I really am.

Ava

No strings.

Simple fun.

That's all I was looking for.

But the day I met Griffin and his son, everything changed.

My walls are starting to crumble, piece by piece, as he and his son chip away at the concrete protecting my heart.

Now I’m questioning everything I thought I wanted and wondering if maybe he's worth the risk.

Knocked Down is a single dad/neighbor romance involving Griffin, a restaurant owner and dad, and Ava, his next door taco-loving neighbor who creates book covers and sells spicy toys. This was a quick listen and involved a bit of insta lust/love. I really liked Griffin and Levi and I liked how Ava was with Levi. I also really liked Griffin's patience and persistence. He was just an all around good guy as evidence by his role as a dad and his relationships with his brother and his sister in law. I did struggle with Ava and Griffin's relationship. I didn't feel the connection with them and their relationship seemed very lust-based. I also struggled with Ava's back and forth. While she had a dfficult past when it came to relationships, I am really not sure what more Griffin could have done to prove he was all in, and her hesistation became too much after a while. I really wanted to love this story as I have really enjoyed many of this author's books, but it was just ok for me. I also struggled with the narration a little, but that did lesson as the book went on.

Knocked Down is the fourth book in the Fighting Love series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone book. This is a single dad romance. Griffin and his son just moved to a new apartment. When they were moving in, they met their new neighbor and her dog. Ava has sworn off men. She had been cheated on by her past two boyfriends and had decided that she didn't need a man. She had enough battery-operated ones to satisfy her. Griffin needed a babysitter last minute and Ava agreed to watch his son. Griffen had been known as a player. When he saw Ava for the first time, he knew she was the one. Now he just needed to convince her that too!

Marlaina Garrett and Duncan Prescott did a great job narrating this book.

Loved the narration of Duncan Prescott and Marlaina Garrett

Ava and Griffin meet when Ava's dog Maverick licks Levi Griffin’s son in the hallway of their apartment building. Griffin likes Ava but she has been hurt before and tells herself no more men. The more time spent together increases their attraction to each other. The chemistry between these two is brilliant and hot. Both learning to allow the other in and the humour.
I was laughing, crying and fanning myself.

Nikki Ash pens another fabulous novel, a charming single dad/neighbors to lovers romantic comedy that captivates your attention, tugs at your heartstrings and puts a smile on your face. Life or being a single dad has not always been easy for Griffin, but he is finally at a place where he feels comfortable, his business is doing well and he is managing parenthood well, too. Ava has not had luck with romantic relationships, with her last two ending badly and leaving her with serious trust issues, but she kept her sense of humor, and it showed in her T-shirt collection. Her first time meeting her new neighbors is thanks to her dog, Maverick, who runs over to them and takes a liking, or more of a licking, of the young boy, successfully knocking him down and almost his dad, too. Maverick took both by surprise, and while he swept Levi off his feet, Ava swept Griffin off of his, feeling an instant attraction. Ava was not interested, but Griffin was not giving up on her. I enjoyed watching them get to know each other, Levi included, who Ava was great with. This is a wonderfully plotted story with the perfect balance of drama, low on the angst, humor with some hilarious scenes including sword fights, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Nikki Ash, thanks for another fantastic story, the laughs and the emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧  Duncan Prescott and Marlaina Garrett did a fantastic job bringing these characters to life, giving each a voice that was fitting, accent and all. I loved how they took their roles and ran with them, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters would sound. Prescott nailed it as Griffin, showcasing his personality and demeanor perfectly, and Garret did the same as Ava, and was just as fabulous in her role. Both were great at performing the roles of the secondary/side characters, Levi included. Their pacing and tone were just right for the story, and their performance expressed all the characters’ emotions, allowing you to feel them all. They are entertaining storytellers, and their captivating performance keeps you glued to the story.

I absolutely love the banter and sass in this book. There are plenty of laughs.
I love the chemistry between Griffin and Ava, as well as the openness that Griffin has with her.
They both have things in their past that they struggle with but this was a great super fun, quick, spicy read.
