Lucian, aka Lucifer, aka Suit Daddy had daddy issues-- rightfully so. 

Sloane, the girl next door had the perfect family. Hell even Lucifer thought so. 

Tragically, Simon, Sloane's dad lost his battle to cancer. Sloane grieves the loss as anyone does... In her own way. 

Through his death, Simon led Sloan and Lucian together. 

Steamy sex, and lots of it later we have finally burned all the bad guys. We have couples who are all happily married and we have BABIES!

Okay so, I have feelings about this book. I loved the start, and adored the end, but the middle was kind of... Ehh? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm all for spice, but I really could have used a little less sexual objectification every chapter, and more relationship development between our main characters and side characters.
Saying that though, that ending was phenomenal. I laughed, I cried, giggled and shook the husband with cuteness aggression - an all round fun time. 
A really solid series though, and I definitely recommend giving it a read if you like small town romances.

apparently i'm on a roll with reading books where one of the parents have passed away... so of course there were so many times that i bawled while reading this book. 

this is almost a second chance romance (sort of?) where sloane and lucian are basically childhood sweethearts until the thing that happened that breaks them up... and then they act all cold and hateful towards each other (and it really is an aggressive, i-can't-stand-to-be-in-your-presence-for-more-than-five-seconds-without-insulting-you hate that's also sizzling with UST) for a long time.

the friend group (nash, knox, and lucian vs naomi, lina, and sloane plus stefan and jeremiah) cracks me up with their shenanigans. 

petula is my favorite retired-but-then-was-bored-so-got-another-job-and-takes-none-of-your-nonsense secretary.

glimpses of waylay = also still my favorite!! also, that dinner table scene where she
electrocutes lucian and sloane any time they make even the slightest overture at insulting each other
? absolutely hysterical!!!
