 Fun and Interesting

This story was fun and interesting all wrapped up together.

The side story of Judy looking for her family but that never being explained how it ties back to Sebastian’s family is the interesting part lol 

Heather and Sebastian were very good for each other! She helped him realize he needed to acknowledge his grief instead of hide it away and he helped her just be more her while he offered her a support system.

They make a beautiful couple and the addition of Ava it just makes a ready made family even better ❤️❤️

I’m so intrigued to read more from this family!

Nice

4.5 stars!

I enjoyed this story.
Heather is such a likable character. One of the best heroines I've ever read.
Love how she wasn't a damsel in distress, was also willing to listen to advice and took control of her own life and emotions.
This is the kind of love story I usually enjoy. Deep family issues that are separate from the interactions between the couple.

What happens?
Heather Ellis is a single mum of an adopted little girl. She wants to do everything she can to keep her daughter safe and happy so when she looses her wolf toy is up to Heather to get it back for her. Not a replacement replica, the actual wolf toy.
Sebastian finds the wolf toy on the site of his new shop, unable to throw it out and unable to look at it anymore he demands his assistant get rid of it. However his mother has other plans, she finds Heather for him and demands him to return it to her.
Heather is so relieved that the wolf has been returned to her she can almost forgive Sebastian for being a grump and rude on the return of the toy.
Final thoughts
This was quite touching in parts. I found myself pretty choked up with him reutnring the toy to the kid, I loved her reaction and his reaction too. I thought it was pretty understandable.
Would I read again?: Yes
Would I read this author again?: Yes
Would I continue on with the series?: Yes

I really enjoyed this one! It pulled me in from beginning to end and I loved the characters. Judy had me hooked from the beginning and wondering exactly what that connection is and how it’s all tied together and then we get Heather and Ava which really draws you in. I loved little Ava. She is just adorable and I loved the connection and continuation with Wolfie through the story. It definitely takes Sebastian a little while to figure himself out but I loved that Heather didn’t let him get away with it and his family called him out to while also giving him the support he needed. Heather has some things she needs to work through as well and I loved watching her own those mistakes and be willing to look at them and admit it. This story was well written and flowed well. It was smooth and had me engaged and wanting more the entire time. 
The narrators did a fantastic job with the different voices and accents and bringing all the characters to life. I really enjoyed it.

Great read

This was a fun book where I laughed and cried and swooned. I loved Heather’s quirkiness. I am looking forward to reading the next book.
