Probably my favorite of the series so far, which… doesn’t really say a lot.

Moderate: Rape and Sexual assault
The book doesn’t go into detail re: the assault, but it shows a flashback of how Riley got into the situation + and is mentioned several times.dinaaa28's review against another edition

I didn’t like Brady the first two books but I come to love him here
And omg Reilly and her daughter deserves the world
I didn’t like how no one apologize to her for not believing her expect Brady I was so furious.

Liked this one much better than book 2. Brady turned out to be a better guy than he appeared to be in the previous book.

I don’t know what I is about Abbi Glines that I enjoy so much. I’m not sure if it’s her writing or her characters that just pull me in. I don’t think there is a book by her that I haven’t enjoyed though I do favor some over the others. I read the first 2 books in this series as they came out and it had been awhile. I still enjoyed this book even though I kind of forgot what happened in previous books. I got bits and pieces from the characters. These books are just quick cute reads that I just can’t stay away from. They are easy to read and I just love getting lost in them.

Brady finally gets his own story. He played quite a large part of book 2. The most unbelievable part of this is Gunner just accepting he has a niece. Is Rhett really not going to apologise? Face punishment? That's.. Not cool.

spoiler: SHE'S NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS.
In case you've never read a novel by Abbi Glines (in which case, I'm jealous. I've been tormenting myself since Fallen Too Far was released in 2012), let me just set you up for the foundation of any of her love stories: the female lead is better than every other female. I use female in the biological sense because that's how the majority of Abbi's characters think. This time, Riley Young went from evil wench who ruined lives in the previous books, to amazing for her age teen mom who is immediately noted and loved by all. And she's constantly impressing her love interest Brady (who less than a week ago was torn up about a different girl in this series, but we don't need continuity).
She orders ribs? WHAT OTHER GIRL COULD BE SO CAREFREE!
She doesn't brush her hair before coming to see him? SHE DOESN'T NEED TO GAF ABOUT HER LOOKS! SHE'S NOT VAPID LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!
She kept the child that was conceived after a horrific rape? NO OTHER GIRL AT SCHOOL WOULD BE SO BRAVE!
And this is why the 'she's not like other girls' trope went from being annoying to completely unacceptable this time. Ms. Abbi proves she can't be petty about other women (that she hasn't already developed in an entire novel) in order to develop the one centered in her story. Yes, Riley has overcome something awful, but why even imply the other girls from school wouldn't have been able to do so too? Rather than demonstrating why Riley is brave, loyal, strong, and mature through her actions, we have to get Brady's dumbass commentary on why she's better at being those things than anyone else.
I feel like I've beaten my head to a bloody pulp on this massive shortcoming of Ms. Abbi's, so I can't really allow myself to waste anymore time on this. Let me just say, feminism is a choice, but it shouldn't have to be. Maybe one day the character's of this horribly stunted author will realize this.
