3.0

I liked it. There's a lot of character development, a little bit of smut, lots of cuteness, the main couple is adorable and the side characters too. And for the first time ever: a well written child!!! Mariah was definitely the highlight off this book. It took me a little bit of time to finish, but that's on me and my lazyness. In the beginning of the book I was feeling buttlerflies in my stomach, and towards the end it kinda died down. But still, it's good.

I LOVED this story! I went into this novel not having super high expectations, and just wanting something lighthearted and fun to read, but I was ultimately pulled into the story and highly invested in Cheyenne's and Cole's lives. 
Cheyenne is a kindergarten teacher who moved back home to try and save up some money. Her brother's best friend, Cole, moved back home (and next door) with his daughter after the tragic loss of his wife during childbirth. Cheyenne and Cole have known each other forever, and Cheyenne has always had a little crush on Cole, but never pursued it. After Cheyenne accidentally sexts Cole a dirty fantasy, he tells her to keep going, and a relationship is born.
What I really appreciated about this story is that it had more depth and worked to build the relationship between Cheyenne and Cole. I am always a sucker for second chance love stories, and I absolutely adore when love starts between friends. I was also really impressed with Cole's character. He really exemplifies being a great father, and he really embraces and encourages therapy for his daughter. He openly and honestly talks with her about feelings and ensures she is always comfortable with his own decisions. 
I cannot wait to pick up more from this series.
