Review originally posted at Ramblings From This Chick
Always Yours, Baby is the forth Baby Saga book by Airicka Phoenix. Each book can be read as standalones though, with interconnected characters. This is my first Airicka Phoenix book, but I will look for more from her in the future and I can't wait to go back and read the previous books in this series.
Damon Comb and Willa McClain have loved each other since they were kids, and have always been the best of friends. Though they do everything together, they have never risked their friendship by telling each other how they really feel. Though everyone knows but them, they are scared that opening up will destroy everything between them. Just when it appears that everything might finally be going their way, Damon's past threatens to ruin everything they are building. Can he find a way to make it go away while protecting Willa, or will they be over before they ever get a chance?
I really liked these two. They were so sweet it might be a little sickening if they weren't so adorable together. These two were literally everything to one another, how they were so blind to the love they each felt was beyond me. Damon was sweet and kind, protective and caring. He was always looking out for Willa, and I loved how great he was with her. Willa was a bit on the fragile side and was prone to letting her emotions get the best of her. But with Damon there for her she seemed to draw strength from him. I loved how supportive these two were of each other, and I couldn't get enough of them together.
Overall, this was a good story. It was very sweet for the first two thirds of the story with the last bit being a little more action packed. Things started to happen with Damon's past suddenly changing things for everyone, and I felt bad for the characters. I loved how determined they each were to protect one another, and you could really feel the love between them. This was a good quick and easy read with characters that truly loved one another. There was no cheating or love triangles, and I found it really refreshing that there was no one but each other for Damon and Willa. I would recommend this book and look forward to more from Airicka Phoenix in the future.

Always Yours, Baby is an amazing read. The characters are complex yet wholesome and this adds a bit of intrigue to the plot. Willa is not the average female. She loves photography and lives with her best friend Damon. Damon is the typical guy who had a bad childhood and doesn't think he is good enough for the ones he loves. Their romance was really sweet and slow. I found it a little strange that they had this relationship that resembles a couple, yet never really connected the dots until they were forced to recognize it. Although they both knew they loved each other, they never acted on their feelings.
One thing that I really liked throughout the book was all of the flashbacks from Damon and Willa's childhood. Going through their relationship like that gave their feelings more depth and added some complexity to what would have otherwise been a little too simple a relationship.
Damon was a little protective of Willa (insert sarcasm here). Many times I found him to be a little overbearing yet it perfectly fit with Willa's personality as she came off as a hippy/child. She kind of just went with the flow and had an innocence about her throughout the novel that made her character both annoying and interesting. Willa just represented everything pure in a character, which made it hard to stay mad at her inability to act on her own feelings.
One of my favorite parts of this book was the way they bantered. They knew everything about each other and it showed through when they talked to each other. Their whole relationship was kind of the perfect relationship and kind of what everyone expects their relationships to look like. Because of this, I kind of wished they had a little bit more of a struggle. Their relationship almost seemed fake because of how perfect of a couple they were.
The secondary characters of this book really added to the drama. Calla and Jared were the ones to force Damon and Willa to realize their feelings and act on them. The whole family was supportive and kind.
The big conflict of the book was the fact that Damon hadn't confronted his past and it ended up catching up with him. This past came with a sister and a terrible father. It was quite a change from the rest of the book. The first half of the book is everyone oh so happy and then enter the terrible father and the book takes a darker turn.
Always Yours, Baby is a great read for everyone interested in romance novels. This book should spark the interests of hundreds and take them through the journey of Damon and Willa's relationship.

REVIEW:
Be still my heart! This story was so sweet and romantic, the couple was so meant to be I couldn’t wait until they finally confessed their feelings. This is the 4th book in the Baby Saga series, I haven’t read the other three but I never felt lost or disconnected to the characters and setting. This is a story that will hit all the sweet spots and make you fall in love with Damon and Willa.
Damon and Willa are childhood friends, have always done everything together and everyone around them can see how much they are meant to be together. But both were afraid that confessing had the chance it could ruin their deep friendship. I loved this couples innocents, both waited for the right person, which I find very rare in book to have the main couple be virgins. It was refreshing and so sweet to see their relationship progress and they start to learn what love and devotion truly mean.
Willa is a very adoring person and she sees the positive in everyone. She is a little immature at times as she was a bit afraid of things and kind of a free spirit. Damon needs her positivity in his life because of his terrible and abusive upbringing. Together they are a strong pair and I adored every moment they had together, from awkward first experiences to more passionate moments.
Overall I loved the chemistry and relationship growth of Damon and Willa. They each had their flaws but I adored Damon’s love, how he waited years for her and was so attentive to her. Pretty much Damon is the ideal guy, for me he’s not realistic but defiantly the best dream guy for readers. The writing was well paced an you can really tell how much she cares for her characters, there is a lot of feelings going into this story. I’m definitely a new fan and really cant wait to back track and read the past books in this series.

The fourth in the series and about Willa and Damon.
I liked the fact those two have been a couple since forever and discover love and life together. Sometimes a bit unbelievable they did not talk to each other about their feelings for so long!
Very sweet and there is some suspense as well.

DNF. It was my first time reading a novel from Ms. Phoenix and this series so while I had hopes I'd like it I didn't have anything to base it upon. Sorry. I tried reading the book but I just couldn't get into it enough to finish it. The beginning was very slow and then when Damon got to his poker game I just couldn't stand "the bet" that plays out. Therefore, I gave up on it.
If you decide on reading it I hope you'll like it more than I did.
