Adored this instalment of the series, seeing Winter thaw and Theo grow into himself and then together was everything you want in a small town romance book. Great heart, funny and flirt and good spice! I loved them.

This one is my favourite. The way they had like grumpy sunshine dynamic it was the best I loved how teasing Theo was and how he was joking and trying to make her smile. Overall Theo is the best.

I really liked the change-up in the dynamic of bad-boy afraid of love and sunshine girly makes him want a relationship because this mMC loves a lot and is not afraid to love hard while the fMC has suffered in the past because of a variety of things making her distancing herself emotionally and act a little self-distructive.
For a trope I usually really dislike this was executed quite well. Trying not to spoiler anything...the reaction of the mMC to the child seemed genuine and was better than what usually happens in these romances.
But there are a lot of tiny things I would critize...but only quite small things like some none inclusive language that unfortunately add up which is why this book was not able to reach 5 stars.

Theo and Winter have by far the best book in the series! Their chemistry is undeniable and the way they bond over their shared struggle melts my heart. I think every little obstacle they met make sense both to the story and in a real relationship. Their story felt raw and real and they worked through trust issues and feelings of abandonment to raise their daughter together. Banter and plot 10/10!

After a lifetime of doing what everyone expects of her, Winter is taking back her life. That just happens to come in the form of a one night stand with a cocky, sexy bull rider named Theo.
I loved this book, it is my favourite in the series and I normally hate accidental pregnancy tropes. I wasn't sure about reading Winter's book, because I really hated her character, but I am so glad that I did. Her story is a heartbreaking redemption story. Spiteful mother, neglectful father, sister pitted against her, husband who literally groomed her underage sister. Of course she has trust issues! Who wouldn't!?
I loved how patient and understanding Theo was with Winter. He accepted her for who she was and never tried to change her. He gave her something she had never really had before - respect and unconditional love. When he found out about Vivi, he seamlessly stepped into the role of partner and father. He supported Winter in every way possible. This is what a PARTNER looks like! I really enjoyed seeing Winter's transformation as she learned to love herself and accept love from others.
I LOVE the relationship between all of the family members and how they welcomed and rallied around Winter when she needed them. Also I really appreciate that we saw her mending her relationship with her father and ditching the toxic relationships in her life.
I don't really understand the 18 month gap. Does he never return to the town? Rhett never happened to mention it to him? Though I get that this is plausible, 18 months seems like a long time span.
Tropes: small town, accidental pregnancy, single parent, grumpy/sunshine
