5 freaking star read.
from the beginning i was so downbad for our main character dex since the beginning let me tell you why. he’s a single grumpy dad but has the biggest heart for his daughters. he’ll do anything for his daughters best believe it.
and then we have winnie. she is the sweetest and bubbliest (that’s probably not a word) character you will ever met.
let me sell you on some tropes: grumpy x sunshine, age gap, mean to everyone but her and his girls, neighbors w/ benefits
instantly i had the biggest connection to these characters; by default dex is hot (HES A FIREFIGHTER.) (and he can sew.) and winnie i would love to be her friend like i connected with her so deep because she falls in love so easily and i felt that.
the side characters? yes. hallie and luna are the daughters i want to have. like they aren’t your annoying little kids they are so mature for their ages and i would happily be their best friend and babysit. ALSO ellie omg i loved her. and every family member i could go on for days so ima start wrapping this up.
the smutt was so good. like i needed to take a breather. every smutt scene put alot of my past read smutty scenes to shame.
i never wanted to put this book down and if you ask me to talk about it you’ll regret it because i truly loved this book and needed a pick me up. OH AND THE QUOTES AND THAT ENDING. THEM LAST TWO CHAPTERS. honey i want a love like this one. <3

After 5 books in the Cloverleigh Farms series, Melanie Harlow is an insta-buy for me. Her perspectives on contemporary romance and the fact that she chooses all different tropes makes the series entertaining and enjoyable. Some authors fall into the trap of the same trope over and over again, making it feel like we are reading the same book but with different names...not Melanie! This book was similar to Irresistible since it was a Single Dad romance, but the rest of the story was completely different.
I was a bit hesitant due to the age gap initially, but once Dex showed his true colors alone with Winnie, I was hooked! I absolutely devoured this book and could barely put it down. A few moments made me tear up, a few made me giggle out loud, and the relationship Dex had with his family made my heart feel things. The only thing it was missing was a bit more information towards the ending. I would have liked more detail but less epilogue on this one!

Loved this extension of the Cloverleigh books! Dex was amazing (but grumpy) and it was so fun to see Winnie all grown up.
