ARC REVIEW
Swati, Swati, Swati. Thank you for this incredible story!!
Let me start with thisβ¦
πππ πππππππ ππ πππππ ππ»ππ»ππ»
This is my first book from Swati, but I can promise you it will not be my last! This was her first go at a sports romcom, and yβall my girl left π‘π’ ππ₯π¨π ππ¦!
As a former single mom myself, Shayβs character was immediately relatable in so many ways. From the way she wants to protect Kai and his innocence, worrying about his happiness before her own, to the way sheβs scared to fall for Rowan to only have him break both of their hearts. I was so happy to see that she let Rowan wiggle his way into her thoughts, and for her to start loosing her tight grip on control, and start allowing herself and Kai to have fun.
βWatched you walk in and check me out like you were fixinβ to make me your next meal. And while Iβm usually the one to do the eating, Iβm not entirely against being offered up on a platter for you, Doc.β
Rowan βSlickβ Parker is the complete definition of ππ ππ π¬ππ£π©ππ π©π€, ππ π¬π€πͺπ‘π. He is gorgeous, confident, patient, sweet, nurturing, and underneath his tough athlete exterior he has a heart of pure gold. From their very first meeting after heβs injured on the ice and Shay (a physical therapist) is sent to check on him, Rowan is infatuated with her and boy does he let her know. The man very presumptively sent her a gold-played toy after meeting her one time!! ππππ§π ππ€ π π¨πππ£ πͺπ₯!?
βThought Iβd get you a replacement for the tool you keep inside your purse since you seem to have broken the other one . . . perhaps from overuse? Say yes.β
After she becomes his full-time PT, Rowan learns that Shay is a widowed single mom with a 9 year old son who also happens to be his biggest fan. What transpires from here is some very hot and heavy back and forth commentary between the two MCβs, ππ£π π€π£π ππ£ππ§πππππ‘π πππ©ππ§π€π€π’ π¨πππ£π, before Rowan finally breaks through Shayβs mental walls that have been holding her back and giving them both what they want. Rowan is a very smooth talker, βSlickβ is his nickname after all, views toys as enhancers, and will make you πππ for it without a second thought. The spice be spicing baby!
βShow me what youβll look like when youβre on your knees for me, Doc.β
Aside from the obvious love story here, my favorite part of this book may be the immediate connection between Rowan and Kai. You could just tell that Rowan adored this kid from the first meeting, and reading about that connection and how their bond unfolded was such a refreshing little side piece here that I really enjoyed.
ββmy buddy for life, Kai. He jumps up and down with his arms in the air, knowing Iβm looking at him and only him.β
Just trust me and read this one. And when youβre finished make sure you sign-up for the bonus chapter because Rowan is even more swoon worthy there!
ππππ½ππ π«ππΈπππ is book 3 of 4 in the MomComs series, but can be read as a standalone.

I struggled a bit with this one because I found Shae pretty annoying. She desperately needed therapy and I felt so bad that Kae was essentially living with someone who was pushing her fears onto him. I liked Rowan he was funny and I really enjoyed the insta love side of it but once again Shae was annoying about that too.
I thought the conflict was silly because it had an obvious fix and I wish we could have got to see Rowan actually living in the house because the best part of this series has been the found family side.
The audiobook was really good though.

Things I liked:
- Kai was the sweetest little boy in the universe. I loved seeing him open up with Rowan and learn to be a little kid again.
- Seeing Shay work through her fears and anxieties about losing her son was really well done. I could totally see where she was coming from. She really got on my nerves in the previous book because of that and this helped me understand her so much more.
Things I didnβt like:
- I felt funny about her job and the way that he kind of pushed her into a grey situation. It just felt a bit icky to me.
