This was a solid 4 star book. I like the second chance romance, which is a trope I am not normally a fan of. I really liked Ayden and Laney both individually and together, they just fit together so well. I also love their daughter Serena, she was chatty and a bright light. As it was a novella, I wasn't expecting the stuff with Ayden's dad and it did go a bit crazy at the end. There was one moment at the end which was a bit far fetched and you very much has to suspend your disbelief with. However, the writing was so good and it set up the first actual novel (book 1) in this series really well and I am so intrigued by the couple that it will follow. Overall, a really good time, even with the unbelievable moments.

for the most part this was off page and mentioned as things that happened in the past, however there are a few flash backs/reflections on the events.theabibliophobe's review against another edition

While the story itself is good, the ending is weird. The book spoils itself at the 80%mark and then spends the rest of the book talking about what happened that lead up to the spoiled ending. It brought the book to a halt and there was no tension or satisfaction since we were told what happened before the book tells us how it happened.
