This book is fantastic! Honestly criminal of me to have waited this long before reading it. I absolutely loved Win and Bo. They are just two of the most tender and sweet souls who clearly were meant to find each other. They find such small (and big) ways to support each other and show they care. Bo is so honest and vulnerable it hurts. He equal parts makes me want to wrap him up in a hug and have him take care of me. Win is so strong I appreciate her evolution throughout the story. I can’t even be mad that this book wasn’t dual POV because I think Bo’s would’ve made me spontaneously combust. Honorable mention to Sarah, may we all be lucky to have a friend like her. Also, it needs to be said this book offers up excellent banter you will laugh out loud and some quality spicy scenes. This book is an absolutely must read!

Such a lovely, wholesome story. Bo and Win grow together and fall in love in such a sweet way. The friendship, romance, and spice between them is perfect. 

 I’ve never read a book with a pregnancy trope like this. I feel like it’s usually the bow authors put at the end of a story to tie everything together, but here it’s the first thing that happens! 

No 3rd act break up!!!

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…

My first thought when finishing this book, and many times while reading/listening to it, was “Wow.” My second thought was, “Do men like Bo actually exist?”

I will admit, I was beginning to think my hope for finding a romance book that I’d give 5 stars would never come, but this was it. I LOVE(D) this book and definitely recommend anyone wanting to read it to give it a chance.

I love the slow burn between Winn and Bo. I find myself relating to a lot of Winn’a internal struggles with fear and feeling stagnant and I love that she allows herself to grow and not only make room for Bo and her baby, but also herself. I too am making room for myself to fully flourish into who I want/need to be.

All the characters feel well rounded. I adore Winn’s relationship with Sarah just as much as I do with Winn’s relationship with Bo.

I love how they keep an honest and open communication style with each other, especially early on, talking about sexual health and birth control.

I LOVE how Bo is a good man, down to his core, with no ulterior motives. His kindness and generosity is something I hope to find in a partner myself. 

I was cheering for them from start to finish, aching during their will they won’t they moments. 

All in all this was a wonderful book, one I got from a booktok recs list. I’m not sure if the author has written any more stories but I’d eagerly pick them up if so.
