I laughed so hard at some of the parts! This was such a good book!!

came back and loved it

I loved Tristan when he showed up in the first book, so I was excited to read his book, but when I started it last year I couldn’t get into it. In the last few days I’ve seen people raving about it so I decided to come back and try again- I’m SO GLAD I did because I absolutely loved it! I’m guessing I was in a book slump or something last time because I was into it from the very beginning this time and barely put it down!

I'm giving it 4 stars only because I want the author to learn some new words
"screw up face"
"deadpan"
"a sexy smile"
to describe every last effing interaction. it would make for a good drinking game but we would all die from alcohol poisoning by chapter 5.

however the story was sweet and funny. I actually laughed out loud.

Tristan has my heart!!

3 and half stars ⭐️

Absolutely adored this book! There were definitely moments I caught myself laughing out loud. However the book did drag on a bit and could have been 100 pages shorter. I also found Claire to be whinny and overcomplicated far too many scenarios.

4.3 ⭐️ Tristan had be laughing out loud for real. LOVE HIM ❤️ so much better than the first book

I’m so glad I continued this series after not loving the first book so much. There are still some things about the author’s writing style that I’m no crazy about, but this book had me laughing out loud one minute and ugly crying the next. I loved it so much. Tristan’s relationship with Claire’s boys was perfection.

My freaking heart is SO full! How am I just reading this author?! Absolutely sexy, swoon worthy and heartwarming. Tristan is the original playboy and watching him fall in love with the older widow with three kids was EVERYTHING! He was so amazing and hysterically inappropriate with Claire's boys. I did this one in audiobook (KU with free narration) and highly recommend!

-Read #2 still 5 stars and still made my cry a few tears.
-Actually, reading this now having a new love in my life made it much more real and relatable, especially the parts about remembering the playful and laughing version of yourself that had been missing for a long time and how good it feels, how much simple touch means when you don’t have it, how good it feels to be seen as a woman and not as a widow. Thankfully I didn’t have to deal so much with the guilt part, but I had forgotten how her kids give her a new perspective to bring her through the guilt and it is so sweet.

-Romance MC with stretch marks and a tum
-Female is slightly older than the male
-The problem-to-be-overcome is not a simple misunderstanding or doing-it-for-your-own-good-because-I’m-too-broken
-MC is a widow that struggles with new love vs loyalty
-The flirting and spice is
