Scoop Me Up is a bi awakening single father romance as part of the Maplewood combined universe.
From the blurb:
I have two dreams: opening my own ice cream shop and falling in love. My fantasy? Falling in love with a guy who’ll help me run my future ice cream shop.
But my teaching job doesn’t exactly have me rolling in dough, and my love life doesn’t exactly have sprinkles on top, so every year my dreams seem farther and farther away.
At least until this year, when I decide to compete in the Maplewood Scoopfest flavor competition. If I win, owning an ice cream shop would be within reach.
But the love life thing? Well, it’s even sadder now, because I have a huge crush on Gabe, the ridiculously hot, straight single dad to one of my students. He’s only in town for the summer, and—what the heck was I thinking?—I offered to let him stay in my guest bedroom. Now I have to see him, talk to him, hear him. All the time. Even my favorite ice cream isn’t enough distraction when all that deliciousness is right under my nose.
I’m resigned to pine in silence—to Gabe, that is. My friends are sick and tired of hearing about my pointless crush. Then, one night, he leans in for a kiss. But he’d been drinking and now I don’t know if that was just the whiskey talking, or if Gabe’s flavor preferences might just be changing.

Molly Otto's review:
When Gabe comes to Maplewood to spend the summer with his daughter, he doesn't expect Sam. Sam is on the cusp of all their dreams coming true. What they don't expect is one of their students dad's to weave his way so easily into their life. Gabe & Sam have an immediate connection that Gabe takes a bit seeing, as he's always identified as straight. As he lets his guard down, he allows himself to be open and just see how this all plays out. What could be awkward or angsty is the opposite of that its a bi awakening story where the two characters connect and allow themselves to feel what they are feeling gradually. The relationship doesn't feel forced, just a gradual connection. Was happy to see the author not only included the daughter as a main part of their relationship but the ex-wife as well. It shows you can have a healthy relationship with your ex spouse while maintaining healthy boundaries. A great addition to this Maplewood combined universe.

Once again, we return to Maplewood and get another taste of this amazing small town that embraces LGBTQIA2S+ people and community! It's a low angst bi-awakening story featuring a single dad and
an adorable teacher who dreams of opening an ice cream shop! It's a fun read with nosy neighbours, yummy ice cream flavors and a sweet HEA. This was a quick and easy read and can be read standalone but is better as part of the series.
