i definitely loved this more than mile high

it was all the great parts about any romance novel tied up neatly in a pretty lil bow

the epilogue was one of the best I've read in any romance book
which involves a child... the fact that they also adopted was such a precious ending for me because in real life it isn't always the "oh my my the fmc miraculously got pregnant despite her fertility issues of the past!! wowza it must be out male mc's magic dick that cured her!!!" which is in SO many books & is extremely annoying to me


4.75 / 5 stars 


reasons why it isn't a 5/5 for me:
  • the amount of tropes are extremely on the face, it felt like I was being spoonfed it all... would've definitely preferred some subtlety on that aspect
  • this is on me (not the author!!!) , but Indy constantly thinking about kids was slightly giving me the ick
  • 3rd act conflict was making me eyeroll because it felt forced 
  • come on man NAVY??? SERIOUSLY ???

conclusion : Ryan Shay is The Best book boyfriend period 🧎🏻‍♀️

Amazing. The sweetest couple and a story that made me cry, laugh, and smile from ear to ear so many times! The MMC is absolutely swoon-worthy and ticks all the book boyfriend boxes - literally in love with him. Indy is relatable and sweet and strong and easy to love as an FMC. It was nice to see more of the book 1 characters too and how their stories developed. I love that this series’ books are longer than typical romances, Tomford really builds a whole storyline for the characters and you get backstory and resolution all in one. 

There were a few bits that were a little repetitive and I felt their relationship was a slow burn which was great but then all of a sudden went from 50% to 100% very fast. Overall absolutely adored this book though!

I really enjoyed this overall, but Ryan and Indy were a little too perfect which made for a less exciting read than the first book and the epilogue was far too cheesy for me.
