I loved Tucker and Miranda's story, just like the other books by Aurora Rose Reynolds.
I met Tucker first in Clay's and Willow Mayson's story, and I was hoping that his story will be next, so when I saw this book I was thrilled.
I must admit that I was hooked and enjoyed reading from the dedication until the very last word.
The characters were well-written and I quickly fell in love with them both, but I also love the other characters like Kingston, Emma, and Tucker's brothers I can't wait to read their stories too.

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book because the male MC, Tucker, was not my favorite person in Until Willow. I gave him the benefit of the doubt because I figured he was going through some stuff, and it worked in my favor. I liked Tucker's presence in this book. He was supportive in the best ways to Miranda. How they met was messy, but I loved how it turned out for them. They were sweet together. I also enjoyed how Miranda's son fit into the mix. The one thing that felt a little odd to me was how the romantic suspense aspect was pretty contained to Tucker's job and didn't really touch Miranda. It made it feel not as important as some of the romantic suspense plots ARR's written in the past.

This one was bingeable! I didn't realize how quickly I was getting through it until I was at about 60%. Tucker and Miranda go through a bunch of crap from their exes to get to their HEA. It was nice watching Miranda be such a headstrong woman. Tucker was written so well. He was so caring and sympathetic. Loved him. Overall, it was a good book. I can't wait to read more about the brothers!

"Imagine, Emma talks over me, "if Ryan Reynolds and Chris Hemsworth manipulated natural science and created a bouncing baby boy together, then that baby grew up to be a stoic badass. That's Tucker."
I want to start by saying I absolutely loved the dedication in this book. I honestly needed to hear those words.
This was my first book by Aurora Rose Reynolds, but it will not be my last. I loved Tucker. I loved how protective he was. I loved how he accepted Kingston and treated him like his own. I liked Miranda, I liked how she finally stood up for herself.
I liked the family element in this one. Tucker's brothers were always there for him. The friendship between Emma and Miranda was amazing! I also loved the mystery aspect of who killed Kristen.
My only issue was the ending, I felt like it was rushed in a way. I wanted more. Yes, I know there were 2 different epilogues but it just ended abruptly.

This was so good! It took me a bit to get into it, but once things got going I was hooked.
Tucker and Miranda are so supportive of one another and have such adorable interactions like followed by clear "can't keep my hands off of you" chemistry.
This isn't just spice, but has an interesting storyline around a case Tucker is working on for his job as a detective.
Be sure to check trigger warnings because this does include cheating, and discussions of pastoral abuse and rape.
Overall, this is another phenomenal read by Aurora Rose Reynolds and if you love a single mom, found family, and "mine" energy this is for you!!!
