The most down-to-earth romance novel I have read in a while!

The characters are relatable and loveable. I maybe wouldn't even call this a romance novel. It was more about 

the accidental pregnancy and how to tackle their future of co-parenting

in a realistic way. Except, of course, the male lead is very tall, rich and a little overbearing which fits the romance stereotype.

The main charachters are very verbal in the bedroom. You've been warned

I absolutely hate the surprise pregnancy trope, so when I started this book and heard the warning from the author about pregnancy in the book, I almost put it aside. But  Hannah Bonam-Young is amazing, so I gave it a chance and THIS is how you write a surprise pregnancy book!! Ugh, it was so good and the characters are lovely and so swoon worthy. I’m obsessed with Bo and his dad, maybe this should become a series and we could follow daddy Robert fining love in France. Just a suggestion…

This is one of the best romances I've ever read and by far the healthiest couple dynamic I've ever witnessed. I LOVE this book! I ADORE this book! Gentlemen, please take notes from the beautiful, the gorgeous, and the thoughtful: ROBERT AUGUST DURNAD!!!!🥰😍 The ULTIMATE book boyfriend! He's beaten everyone. I don't think anyone is doing it like him. Oh my gosh! I love him! I love them! Their dynamic is literally chef's kiss, no crumbs! I love Win! She's the sweetest and the friendships in this book were literally everything to me! Sarah and Win! Sarah, Win, and Caleb! Bo and his friends! Even the relationship between Bo and his dad, loved! Side eye to Winny's mother.😒 Honestly, I only have a few qualms about this book. I don't know the first two spice scenes didn't do it for me. I don't know. Bo seemed a little different when he was having sex sometimes, I don't know. But the third time, for some reason it did it for me, I don't know. And I'm a little annoyed we never found out about how Bo got injured, not that we were necessarily entitled to know, but the curiosity was there. I wish that was explained, but other than those couple of things this book was literally perfect! I don't really have a problem with the accidental pregnancy trope; I couldn't care less to be honest so that didn't bother me. However, when going in I'd like to preface by saying that this book's plot literally centers around Win being pregnant and Win and Bo's dynamic so if you're looking for a crazy plot you're not going to get it here, but I kid you not it's worth it to witness Bo and Win's dynamic and the friendships in this book! This is honestly the sweetest book ever and I recommend everyone read it!

Spice Rating: 🌶️🌶️.5/5
