This is the first book that I have read where they are both widows and single parents. I really like Corinne’s take on it and especially loved Addy’s fun personality along with Grady’s. The friendship that blossomed along with their “fake relationship” was their kids, Elodie and Jett, absolutely adorable! I love this series and can’t wait to read more about the Whitlock family.

Ahhh oh my goodness this book was so freaking good!!! I read it in one day and was truly obsesses. I felt as though I was inside the book the whole time as a fly on the wall and it was the best thing ever. Grady and Addison are so perfect for each other and it was so obvious. Not only since they share similar pasts but because of who they are as people. They both are so loving and supportive of everyone around them but especially to each other and each other’s kids. I have never read a book where both mcs were single parents so it was so cool to see Grady and Addison navigate this new life that not only impacts them but the kids too. I absolutely loved the kids!! Jett and Elodie were such sweethearts and comedic reliefs in the book. They made me laugh so much and they are so precious, just like Grady and Addison’s love. Grady and Addy are everything for each other and it’s the best thing. I am so happy they both got the happy ending the deserved, especially after what they have been through. The depth both of these characters had was great and I also loved all of the family vibes that small towns have. The community was so supportive, albeit very noisy but the support of Grady and Addison from everyone was the cherry on top.

I think this may be my favorite of the books in the two series so far. Both MCs lost their partners about three years before the book starts so they are dealing with grief, but there isn't a big traumatic incident in the book itself. Plus, FAKE DATING, which is one of my fave trope AND they each have a kid and I say again that the author writes kids well. Plus the spice in this one was spicing. I think overall I'll like this series better and I'm wondering if it's cuz she's written it more recently (the final book isn't even out yet) and her writing has maybe improved? We'll see if this vibe keeps up during book three.

addison and grady's story was one that pulled at my heart! i loved watching them together and found love again after going through the loss that they both had to deal with three years earlier. elodie and jetts friendship, and lets be real, the real reason addison and grady got together.
