This book was a slow start for me but I am so glad I stuck with it because I ended up really really enjoying this one! These characters did not start strong, but once they had some time to marinate you found yourself relating and rooting for the both of them. Keeley and Graham balanced each other out so well. Once they really gave each other a chance they truly saw the other and were exactly what they needed. I found myself tearing up numerous times in the second half of this book. This one turned out to be more emotional than you’d expect from the way the story began. This book is perfect for fans of accidental pregnancy and Vegas wedding tropes. Definitely give this one a chance!

I liked the story but I really wasn't a fan of the pop culture references... Especially the pandemic.

It’s a pregnancy trope, so that may be off putting for some, but it didn’t bother me. Keeley just took a little too long to grow up for me to truly enjoy the book. There were plenty of times I wanted to scream at her and tell her to grow up. She constantly made herself seem dumb, and that was truly the most off putting thing in the book. Graham was fine, but I didn’t enjoy him as much as some of the other male characters in the series.

I honestly love an accidental pregnancy story, paired with a little drunk married in Vegas and this was just a joy to read. Classic O’Roark. I have enjoyed this series so much and this is just another gem to add to that. Whilst a lot more emotional I have come to expect from the Devils books, it still brought the perfect banter and plenty of laughs to go with the endless tears I seemed to shed. While the characters may struggle to open up to each other whilst at odds with each other, it still felt really vulnerable. I enjoyed the way Graham and Keeley were surprised by each other as they got to know one another, especially loved the way Graham just wanted Keeley to champion herself too. They are both dealing with previous family traumas that continually affect their actions but the love they have for each other and their baby by the end is beautiful to read.
