This was a wonderful book, and Tristan is by far my favorite of the Miles brothers. The only downside to the story was the completely unnecessary, and brutal third act break up. It really detracted from the heroine’s appeal, in my opinion.

OMG 10/10 recommend! I thought I that Jameson was forever going to be my book boyfriend. But no Tristan has now taken his spot!
Tristan and Claire’s relationship is just… I have no words for it! His relationship with her children is the best! This book had me laughing, crying, and smiling so much! (Crying because laughing so much and crying because so sweet) the way Tristan and Harry’s relationship developed. At the beginning Harry’s introducing himself as Tristan’s worse nightmare. Then at the end he is telling his mom that Tristan is meant to be his dad. Oh and Fletcher…. So protective over his mom it melts my heart❤️. From telling hating Tristan to saying that his dad found Tristan and put him in their family for a reason.. this had me crying, and I reread this part several times because it pulled so hard at the heart strings. And Tricky…. always loved and adored Tristan and never stopped.
- I don’t know if Elliot or Christopher have a chance to too this. I already want to reread this book!
Cant wait for Miles Ever After!

Another 4.5-star read for me. There were SO many LOL moments in this one. At one point I actually almost cried I was laughing so hard!

And there were some heartbreaking moments as well.

The MCs had great chemistry right from the start, and I loved watching them bicker and jab at each other. Then their makeup moments were steamy!

This book was SO good. I laughed so much. The banter between the main characters was fantastic. Oh and the first time Tristan shows up in Long Island was a masterpiece. I died with laughter because of ALL of the things! He truly was living his worst nightmare.

It begins with Claire Anderson who is a widowed mother of 3 boys. She’s trying to keep everything her husband wished for and worked for alive and going. This book will hit you in gut as well as there is so much heartbreak along the way. The author does a great job of showing lots of emotion that the characters are going through.

I laughed a LOT, I cried and the spice was just enough without taking from the plot. This can be read as a stand-alone but does hint at a few of the characters from the previous book in the series.

I didn't liked first one but Tristan seemed interesting so I give a try...my mistake. This is endless boring story.
