Things I liked:
- Cortney is SO adorable. I loved how excited he was about the baby and how supportive he was to Dylan.
- I loved seeing Dylan recognize Cortney’s anxiety and respect his needs. That was really sweet.
- It was also adorable watching Cortney win over everyone in the house, especially Dylan’s son.
Things I didn’t like:
- Okay so I hopped into this series to just read this book and let me tell ya, it was a bit confusing. After the first 15% it got better but with all the kids and the adults and who is with who it was a bit much.

“You know baseball is my favorite trope. All those guys know exactly how to hit a home run.”
I am more in love with this MomComs crew with each book. Dylan, single mom of one and the stay at home mom for all 7 children has met her match. Cortney is the catcher for the Boston Revs baseball team, that Beckett from book one owns. He has just been traded to the team when his lucky socks go missing and the solution is to go to the MomComs brownstone to get them back.
It’s always amusing when someone new sees the brownstone. The place is habitable but clearly in shambles and it certainly terrified Cortney at first glance but then when he sees Dylan everything changes.
“Your mom is magic. She came into my life at the exact moment I needed her. She’s brightened every detail, every experience, and she’s opened my eyes to all the best parts of the world. I love her, and there is no way in hell I’ll ever let her go.”
The two were great together. Dylan was able to be her “dippy do” self and be one with the universe without Cortney making fun of her. Cortney’s anxiety was always lessened when Dylan was around.
“I’m just a man. A man who worries about too many things. A man who’s terrified of spiders and snakes. Who spends too much time working on puzzles and loves cars and a good prank. And a man so totally in love with you that the rest is just noise.”
Cortney was also great with Liam, Dylan’s son, even after everything he did to get Cortney to leave. The Cortney and Becket bromance was also perfect and I look forward to seeing who joins their crew next!
Thank you @jennibarabooks and @theauthor.agency for the ARC!

💭My thoughts:💭
I loved Dylan's story so so much! I love how Dylan stayed true to herself and was unapologetic about it. She is weird and quirky, she knows it and doesn't try to downplay it or hide it. I also loved how Cortney just embraced Dylan from the first day they met and didn't try to change her whatsoever. I also really enjoyed how Cortney made an effort to get to know Liam and build a real connection with but also on Liam's timeline and didn't try to force it. I really appreciated how Cortney's entire family welcomed Dylan & Liam into their family and the way they were all excited about the baby. As a child of a single mom myself, I really wish there were men out there like Cortney. Jenni thank you for this beautiful story.
