Abrupt ending that doesn’t offer a conclusion to the arson or threats against the main characters. I enjoyed the romance though

Daphne Elliot is one of my if she writes it I am going to ready it authors. THIS BOOK!!! I am normally not one for the accidental pregancy tropes but my goodness did she make it to where I want to find some more. Gus and Chloe had me on a roller coaster of emotions the whole book. I really didn't like Chloe for awhile but like Gus fell in love with her. Honestly this book was so cute and in Daphne had me at the edge of my seat for the twist and what a twist. I honestly can't wait for the next book!! Also Clem has my whole heart and I would go to war for her, in a heartbeat!! I also love the cameo of Clive our very important character in this series and the series before it, it would not be this small town without him and he contiunes to make me laugh. I can't wait for what is to come!!

🌶 | they were a divorced couple who got reunited after 20 years [!?], hooked up, then got pregnant 
mmc has an issue where he thinks he’s not smart and good enough; fmc has a strong personality but somehow folds because of mmc 
he calls ger dragonfly [!?]
“But you need to know that I never got over you. I don’t even want to anymore.”
very easy read [did not focus solely on the pregnancy; had some issues with the company that i guess was left unfinished]

Even though the FMC wasn't my fav, this was still a good read. I would have liked a bit more to the ending, I felt it was a little rushed. Overall a cute second chance romance.

I received an arc and this review is my own.

What happens when divorced ex’s accidentally sleep together and a surprise two pink lines show up ? Buckle up for such a banter filled ride ! Chloe is one badass chick who wants to get revenge on her ex-husband (for picking his company over the marriage) .. which she does by buying his ENTIRE company and a mansion in his home town . Gus might be a very large lumberjack but he is a total cinnamon roll when it comes to Chloe and getting her back . I mean he goes to therapy to start bettering himself and his communication skills, he updates his wardrobe and hairstyle to be more elevated, he starts understanding her coffee and little treat habits, all before accidentally getting her pregnant (AND THEN HE BECAUSE EVEN MORE OF A SWOON !!!)

My only issue with this book was the MMC (who is almost 40 and I LOVE older, non twenty year old characters) would act a little to childish at times and the same goes for the FMC . But other than that the flow of the story is great, the banter between this grumpy lumberjack and the sassy women who brings him to his knees is soooooo good and I loved the close relationships with all of Gus’ brothers . I can’t wait to see what book three has to offer .

This is book 2 in the Maine Lumberjacks series and it can be read as a complete stand alone .

This book was given to me for honest review by The Author Agency and the author .
