I absolutely adored this book, so much so that i finished it in 1 day! I started reading this on Kindle Unlimited but a few chapters in i was hooked and bought the physical copy.

The buildup of Amelia and Nicks relationship was so sweet, his patience and support was everything. How he just wanted her to be stronger. There was some miscommunication here but i really liked the characters willingness to admit when they were wrong and accept the mistakes they made.

The side characters were such a fun time, bonus mention for Kate and Nicks friendship. 

They were a few little things that i didn’t love. I feel like the reason for keeping them secret
Cass’s dislike of the idea of their relationship and reaction
was a little dragged out and over the top. 
There was also a couple of typos but they’re few and far between.

None of this detracted from the enjoyment though and i can’t wait to read the rest in the series and this authors other work.

I finished the story, but this wasn't for me. The characters were enjoyable, but this book would have benefited from some heavy editing- typos, repetitive phrases, and too many short scenes that made the pacing feel disjointed. 

The real reason for the low rating is all of the unnecessary trauma for the FMC. In my opinion, it was truly excessive and not needed to progress the plot (i.e. the deadbeat mom returning).

this is the first romance i've read this year and it surprised me, i wasn't expecting to like it as much but it was super sweet! 

i think i've only read a romance book with a brazilian main character once before and it was barely even mentioned, so i was very excited when i saw that nicolas was brazilian! i was also scared that we would be getting half-assed google translated phrases but the author did a phenomenal job! it made me so happy to be in the loop for once and understand all the little comments nick says in portuguese or the little references to things from our culture 😊 

but although i really loved it, it felt a little too long for a romance book. it was longer than necessary and there are lots of things that could've been edited out. nonetheless, i really loved the characters and the found family. I'm excited to read more books in this series.
