play dates starts off with an adorable meet cute in the park. monica rayburn is watching her niece, emma, when she first catches a glimpse of the saturdaddies. when emma finds a discarded princess toy on the playground, they go around asking the other girls at the park if it's theirs.
they should have asked the boys, as it turns out to belong to colm cleary's little boy, aiden. as the kids play, colm and monica get to talking. and for the first time in a long time, colm decides to take a risk. when monica realizes that colm thinks that emma is her daughter, she tries to tell him but he is distracted by his son and doesn't realize what she is trying to say.
at first monica thinks it will likely be a one-time thing so there's no reason to admit that emma isn't her daughter. but one time isn't enough and soon the truth that emma isn't hers starts to become this big deal that it shouldn't be. there are plenty of clues that monica isn't a mom, but colm is so caught up by her that he doesn't think about those things too carefully.
eventually the truth comes out, and colm makes monica really work for his forgiveness. but as everyone points out to him, they have incredible chemistry and her not having children actually means that their dating is less complicated. and when you have kids, the less complicated the better. this was a really sweet contemporary romance, and as the start of the series, i can't wait to see what lies in store for the other saturdaddies.
