this was really cute minus the parts that gave me second hand embarrassment but it lost a star because SHE proposed to HIM

It’s Always Sonny by Kate Watson

I first met Sonny & Parker in Baby Llama Drama and I instantly loved both characters. I just couldn’t wait till their story was out. I love how an author can write a story that makes you laugh out loud but also have so much emotion you want to reach through the book and hug the characters. Ok. I know they aren’t technically real but Parker's story tore on my heartstrings and I just wanted to give her a big hug.  I loved Parker and she was an amazing character who had been through some hard things in her life and was still coping with them.  Sonny was a great guy who never stopped loving Parker and when they reconnect in this book he’s determined to win her back. Some other things I loved about this one included 

• The one tent scene 
• The Luciano Reunion 
• Nonna 
• The baby goats  
• The Janes (friends who are there for each other)
• Found family
• Tummy waffles   
• Therapy Representation 

If you’re looking for second chances,  forced proximity, found family, maybe some tummy waffles then this book is for you.

This book is a sweet & closed-door romance with dual-point-view.

Kate has become an auto-buy author for me. She weaves a story of love,laughter, and so many fun moments but also brings to light real life issues that people go through in life.

I had a hard time with Ash pressuring Sonny into showing her his body. I know it’s part of her quirky, playful personality, I personally just felt uncomfortable with those interactions.

Parker is a gem, I adore Sonny and his family, overall, it was very sweet seeing their second chance romance blossom.

My opinion:
‘You Don’t Have to be perfect to be loved’
‘I’ve kept my heart in a box for so long.’

I always say that an author has to be really good for me to like a second chance story and Kate Watson knocks out of the park once again. I don't know how she does it. She can write a deep story with a swoony romance and somehow isn't heavy to read. Parker's story touched me deeply and I could connect with her on so many levels and reading about her journey was really nice. Sonny is a great Golden Retriver main character and the chemistry between them, the whole plot and feelings were so spot on that I'm not afraid to say this is my favorite 'Second Chance' book. I am very happy with this series and highly recommend it.
