Okay, normally I do not like romcom books with kids in them but this one is a rare exception. What a beautiful story of so much love, and personal growth and lots of good spicy scenes too.
Also, who wouldn’t want a Kai for themselves?

This is another romance where the mfc can’t have the job she wanted and the man at the same time, so she gives up her highly accomplished career to be with him. Of course it’s okay because she didn’t like that job, anyway. If this isn’t a pet peeve of yours, there’s plenty to enjoy in this book.

Kai falls first, and I’m here for it. The banter is pretty great, too. Miller’s dad, Monty, is a good character and not a caricature of a dad/overprotective father.

some misc thoughts: it's easy to look at this and be upset about another hallway-esque romance, a career driven woman choosing the single dad and his son over her "dreams" but this isn't what this is about. it isn't about having to choose between kids and your job. it's about miller's dad who chose his kid and loved it and about kai who always wanted to choose his kid but everyone told him he shouldn't and about miller who honestly has no clue what she should do now with her kid vs. career situation. it's about miller realising that maybe her career wasn't her dream and that maybe dreams come to you later in that life, that titles aren't everything and that you don't have to choose a life goal, a passion at 18 and stick with it forever. it isn't about choosing – it's about making things work, compromising, thinking "is my talent worth not being with the people i love? is what i'm talented at actually what i want to do for the rest of my life?", realising just because you thought you set yourself in stone with a decision, with a thought, an accomplishment, you actually don't owe anyone anything. and it's never too late to actually start fulfilling your dreams.

If you are generally an emotional person, you will cry reading this book. That said this book was full of so much love in many different avenues. I so enjoy a book where characters naturally resolve their “issue” or discover something about themselves without solely relying on their partner to do it for them. Or only believing in themselves or their choices after the partner does. And this book allowed these characters to come to conclusions by themselves or with the help of the other support people in their lives. I could not have asked for a better book to follow the Shay’s!
