As usual, Liz Tomforde presents me with a long winded romance that I don’t expect to love and I absolutely eat it up. Gahhh, and Kai is elite.
This book put me through it… I wasn’t expecting to feel so many things but it made me smile and it made me cry. CRY. This silly little romance book had so much depth and the characters were all, I mean ALL, amazing. From Kai and Miller to her dad and his brother and ugh, just all around perfect.
My only complaint was the fact that the entire book she tries to remind him and herself that she’s leaving at the end of the summer to go back to her life traveling and earning her reputation as an award winning chef… which I think was annoying because I was like, why do you keep bringing uh up every 3 seconds when we all know you aren’t leaving. And then what did she do? She left! The audacity. 😂
But seriously, it broke my heart and I went through a lot of emotions in the short time they were apart. Max and Kai deserve the whooooole world and so does Monty! I don’t know if I’v ever been quite this stressed waiting on that HEA.
I’ll never stop reading this series. Somehow it sucks me in over and over. This was by far my favorite of the series so far with Mike High falling to second place. Kai and his glasses and backwards hat just made the list of hottest fictional men. And I think I’ve finally decided that yes, I do have a thing for single dads. 🥵
Tropes:
Single-Dad
Bosses-Daughter
Workplace-Romance

2nd recorded read:
i always come back to kaimiller because they have given me major brainrot to the point where i don’t always track rereads but now i have a good excuse: book 4 is coming out soon
1st read:
…and she's done it again. liz truly never disappoints.
this book destroyed me, breaking my heart and then sowing it back together. even though this book may have made me laugh, smile, and cry while reading, it made me unbelievably happy in the end.
the relatability to miller because of her insecurities and commitment issues hit close to home for me. my sweet, wild girl. i adore her.
you cannot change my mind that kai is one of the blueprints of all book boyfriends. he's so selfless, he's literally taken care of everyone around him, sacrificing so much.

“You put me first when I forgot how to. You reminded me what it felt like to be important, to be chosen first.”
kai and miller were made for each other. absolute couple goals. their romance? beautiful. their banter? fucking hilarious. the sexual tension? HOT.
the growth kai and miller went on together, and especially on their own, was amazing to read. their love is so pure.
the relationship between kai and max was one of the most beautiful and heartwarming things i've ever read. and the relationship that miller develops with max? had me a crying mess.
kai's love confession? had me a crying mess.
miller's love confession? had me a happy, crying mess.
and best of all, everybody thinking max was trying to say 'Miller' when he kept saying "Mmm", but he proudly exclaiming "Mama" to her instead, had me a crying, bawling mess.
this story is so captivating and impactful, one of my most quick reads this year. i also loved seeing all the previous couples and also the sneak peeks of future couples whose stories are yet to told.

Liz Tomforde could write a recipe and I'd read it.
This book may have been my favourite of the Windy City books so far. It was like a sucker punch to my heart at some points, and I was absolutely sobbing towards the end, but it wouldn't be 5 stars for me without a HEA!
Miller is both the most relatable and frustrating character, I understand why she is making all of her decisions, but it doesn't make me want her to change her mind any less.
Meanwhile Kai is 6 foot 4 and gorgeous so... need I say more?
