"I love you more than today than I thought possible."
Rating: ★★★☆☆
♡ Thoughts:
Alannah quickly fell deeply in love with Nicholas Moore. He seemed like her perfect prince charming, and she was ready for their happy ending. But life with Nicholas was more like a tough lesson than a fairy tale. He surprised her by kicking her out while she was pregnant with their child, just before they were supposed to get married. Now he's back, apologizing and asking for another chance to be a family. Alannah isn't sure if she can trust him again. Even though she still loves him, she fears getting hurt again. The tricky part is, that their daughter loves him too. Alannah has to decide whether to give Nicholas another chance or say goodbye for good, knowing it might break her daughter's heart.
I enjoy reading books, especially ones with strong female main characters. It's inspiring to see how they overcome challenges and become even stronger. I've always believed that knowing your worth and respecting yourself is important in any relationship. In the book, I found the first half more convincing, especially with the way Nick reacted when he learned about the pregnancy. But at the same time, I was hoping for more heartfelt apologies and signs of jealousy from him. Maybe my expectations are too high. On the other hand, I also felt sorry for Nick. He went through a lot, yet he still wanted to do everything he could to win back his daughter and the love he lost.

It's not easy admitting to like characters that by principle you want to hate. Nick and Alannah are determined to ride roughshod over the heart. Wilder deals with real emotion that is not always beautiful. From misunderstandings to missed opportunities, Making it Right dares to be raw and it's that unpredictability that works in it's favor.

The book opens with Nick and Lana happily engaged with their Wedding in few weeks. Nick had a vasectomy when he was 21 because of his hereditary heart condition.
His first mistake is not telling Lana in fear of her leaving him.
Lana gets pregnant, she is excited, she tells Nick who threws a fit accusing her of cheating and kicking her out of his life.
What I loved about the book
- Most of the book is Nick redeeming himself, he is trying to fix the huge mistake he caused. His grovel comes in the form of actions reflecting his remorse. He never backed down from being in the wrong and played it down to "I already apologized, how many times do I have to say sorry". He kept saying sorry till the end.
- I loved Nick's flawed character. That man has issues and more secrets than a government secret agency. He had to learn to share and rely on others in his path to redemption.
- The family and friends' support was endearing and just right. Both Nick and Lana's family were on her side. They stood by her and did not cower on calling Nick's BS.
- Alannah put up quite against Nick's charm. She did not fall under his affection immediately. She was hurt and made it very clear that it will take time to even consider him back in their lives. I loved that she was not celibate and defended her actions. I loved how she maturely handled her family when she wanted to bring Nick back into their lives.
- The time frame was adequate. I think it took them about a year to get back together. Nick, in the meantime, did everything to prove to Lana that he is 100% there. He went to counseling with her, went back and forth between Sydney and Perth, and gave her the time she needed to accept him back, but most importantly, he worked on his relationship with his daughter.
What I didn't like
- The book dragged a bit. I understand the need for explaining everything and the flashbacks, but I do think 20 pages would have been cut off. However, this was a minor setback.
- The self-guilt Alanna started having. She began blaming herself for not contacting Nick's family and telling them about Charlie. In a way, I do understand that, but on the other had, they too did not make the effort to contact her and ask what really happened. So, I do not think Alannah should have felt that sorry.
- That last scene was unnecessary and to be honest it drew another red flag from Nick. The way he blamed Alannah for what happened was tasteless and the way she took it and thought he was right was infuriating.
other than that I liked the book very much

I read this exact scenario in an older book that was written before DNA. The H had a vasectomy and when the h winds up pregnant he doesn’t even consider maybe his vasectomy failed. He kicks her out of their home without any medical testing and it takes him 6 years to figure out he was ignorant. Then he’s on it to win back the love of his life…. Meanwhile he had figured it out 2 years prior that he was wrong. H is tstl.

*I received an ARC from the author*
This book was so cute and such an enjoyable read! I love when books just flow and you can devour them.
Alannah and Nicholas were happy and in love about to get married when Alannah announces she’s pregnant, assuming the worst Nicholas kicks her out and calls her a cheater due to the fact he has a vasectomy. Not knowing what to do Alannah moves across the country to be closer to her mum who can help raise the baby
Fast forward 5 years, Nicholas has decided to get his head of his ass and finally be the father that he was meant to be. You knew that Alannah was going to be hesitant and not fall for Nicholas charm but what can you do when the man you love dearly and the father of your child comes back into your life
I loved how much Nicholas fought for his family after everything that happened, I love how cute and adorable Charlotte is and how much Alannah grew when she had to be a single mum
This book honestly was super cute and had the sweetest HEA, definitely recommend giving it a read
