I have really enjoyed this series and am both excited and very sad that I only have one left. What I AM excited about is the fact that all of these authors have created continued series in this world with some of the characters that we have met!! I was intrigued and wondered who was going to get Shay to loosen up the reins that she had on her life and her son, and I don't think anyone could have done it better than Rowan. They had wonderful chemistry. Rowan knew just what buttons to push to get Shay to come out of her shell, but he also knew when to be real and understand where she was coming from. Reading about his interactions with her son were just swoonworthy.
Shay has been living a shell of her life since tragedy struck and her husband passed away from cancer. Since then, she has done everything she can to keep her son Kai safe. No he can't rollerskate. No he can't eat anything with red food dye. And absolutely not, he can't play hockey. She is content with her job and her life...at least she thinks so until she is thrown into a situation where she ends up being the physical therapist for none other than Rowan Parker. THE Rowan Parker. The only man that seems to have caught Shay's eye but of course she is going to keep things professional. But no one said that HE would. Now she finds herself in somewhat of a relationship with Rowan who makes her question some of the decisions she has been making. Not in a bad way but more like what will it hurt you if you eat a hot dog. He makes her want to LIVE again. He makes her smile. And the biggest thing is that he makes KAI smile. He wants to teach Kai how to play hockey. He is showing Shay that he can show up for her and be that person, but will she be able to drop the reins? Will she be ok with the world knowing she is with Rowan?
Rowan is on the other side of a bad relationship. He has moved towns and lost a BF but is liking what he is doing. He is enjoying life. He isn't looking for anything- that is until he finds her. Now she is all he can think about. Shay. His physical therapist who is helping him with a hurt groin muscle. Shay who only seems to open up with him. Shay who shows him her wild side. Shay who is an amazing mom. Shay who seems to be holding back from letting him all the way in, but what Rowan wants, Rowan gets. And now that she is in his sights he is going all the way.
If you haven't picked up this series, I highly recommend that you do. The banter was once again great with ALL of the characters. The spice was HOT. Found family made me smile. I loved meeting Rowan's sister and am excited that there will be a series about her. I loved watching the other mamas with their new men, and OH MAN I can't WAIT to see who Delia ends up with. And what is this plan that Beckett and the other men are hatching?? I am thinking it has something to do with all of the real estate in the area LOL.

I was very excited about Shay’s book because I just knew we would be getting some unimaginable growth from her. Shay has been through some heavy trauma and so her reaction to it wasn’t all that unexpected. After such a loss her craving control so real. I loved how at the end of this book she was able to grow and be able to let go and live life.
Rowan Slick Parker was every bit of fun Shay needed in her life and once again seeing all these single men fall for these moms and their kids was so special to read. I kinda wish he got the same treatment that Bossman and ManBun got and was forced to live in the Brownstone because I felt like that brought those guys closer to everyone.
I think I would have given this book a 5 if it was less focused on the smut and more in building relationships. I know different authors write differently but from the first two books we got to see relationships building with the kids and the moms and the house and so I went into this book expecting the same.
Shay’s and Rowan’s relationship was more physical than I would have loved to read because I feel like there was more to Shay and Rowan that could have been explored. But otherwise great book overall.
Once again have to give props to Beckett for being a master schemer and I can’t wait to see the plan he has in motion for Delia because she has shown time and again that she is a man hater through and through so watching her fall would be amazing.

My least favorite of the series so far. Rowan was painted as this wonderful guy but from their very first interaction, he was basically sexually harassing his physical therapist. She'd even tell him no, and he would persist and persist. That gets annoying REALLY fast. He got better as the book went on, but I couldn't really get past this. I do love Shay's story and her relationship with Kai and even Rowan's relationship with Kai. However, I don't think the plot and some things that happened really made sense or worked for this book. Overall, it was just okay for me.

This installment was just fine for me but I'm not sure, maybe it's because it follows almost the exact same pattern as the previous two that I'm a little bored with it now. It was predictable. I wish there was more of a slow burn between Rowan and Shay, considering they worked together the opportunity was really there for it but they gave in so quickly and then there was the threat of a break up like 9/10 of the way through.
I did like how caring and free and fun loving and loyal Rowan was. He seemed to help Shay while still respecting that she was worried for a reason, he helped her to build fun into her life while still adhering to her boundaries. I liked Shay as well, it was interesting to be in her head considering how she is shown in the other books from their perspective. Like Rowan she was loyal and caring and working towards being fun loving again.
I honestly think Kai had the most character development, he really came out of himself and it was lovely to see.
So yeah, absolutely fine book but it was nothing different to the other two. The writing style is super easy to read and does keep you engaged which is good.
