The little girls made this book 100% better !!! 

I like the romance itself, don't get me wrong, but these adorable funny girls took my heart <3

Meh. I started reading Indigo Ridge while finishing this and wow when comparing the two it’s clear how much substance is missing from this book. I need more than he’s emotionally closed off/ grumpy and the main character is young and cute. 
I only started this cuz I thought it was a firefighter romance but there is 0.5% actual firefighting content and that is when he says yeah I’m a firefighter 
Not worth it tbf

I picked up this book because I heard it was “spicy.” I expected it to be mostly smut with little plot (which I was fine with because I waited until I was in the mood for that), but that was not the case. I wouldn’t consider this a spicy book, although there are a few moments, but I was hooked by the story!

Dex was a jerk at times, and probably should’ve gone to therapy for at least a couple of sessions, but he was HOT. I’ll be real: I recently had an age-gap crush, so that definitely has something to do with my interest and appreciation.

I loved Dex’s daughters! They were funny and sweet.

Wow, this book was everything! I absolutely adored Winnie and Dex’s story . Dex’s daughters were so cute and the scenes with them were hilarious. I love what Winnie and Dex brought out of each other and their journey from casual hookup to relationship. I think their fears and insecurities were really realistic and appreciated how they overcome them. I can’t wait to read the next books in the series. I highly recommend this book!
