I love the Ward family and their domestic family moments were really wholesome. This book is about Lia Ward, Claire's twin sister. She goes to England to finish her master's program but she meet Jude McAllister, a British football player and has a one night stand with him. Both of them don't know anything about each other, than just their first names. But, soon after Lia discovers that she's pregnant and their lives are suddenly entwined.
I love the pregnancy trope and all the soft and protective moments that come with it but unfortunately this didn't give me the same buzz. While I liked Molly and Claire's books, this one felt flat in comparison to those. Jude & Lia's first meeting was filled with sparks, engaging banter, tension and chemistry but as the story progressed, that spark kinda died down.
I feel like they didn't get enough time to know each other fully well and both of them were immature at times. Since they were going to have a baby together, they should've discussed their future plans (because Lia was supposed to be in England for just four months) instead they were just avoiding that topic all together and that annoyed me.
Overall, the family moments is what made the book enjoyable for me. Logan & Paige are still my favourite Ward couple and I'm looking forward to read Isabella's story next.

I loved this book. The evolution of Lia and Jude’s relationship wasn’t rushed and the conflict that occurred seemed realistic and not just something that “had” to happen because it’s a book.
