This is my second friend. Katee Roberts book, and in my opinion, the friend-to-lover aspect is better than the smut, unlike where it was opposite in gifting me to his best friend. Drew and Avery made me believe they were actually best friends, unlike three people wanting sex. I like this for the friends-to-lovers trope, but the baby trope isn't for me, and the grandfather ruined the book for me. I understand that all people don't come from happy homes, but his negativity was bringing down the whole book. I am also happy that Alexis found out what she needed to heal from the verbal abuse of her grandfather and from not being able to have kids.

This was sexy and sweet. Drew and Avery had a lot of emotional baggage to work through. I did like how Drew came to terms with things, but seeking therapy could have been a long-term thing for him, too. Avery seemed to have a good handle on her issues and I thought she made a good choice to have a child. A lot of her reticence about a long-term relationship with Drew was tied up in his issues. This was a good story and I liked reading about Drew and Avery.
