Review:
Beau and Annabel are Mid 30s and have been best friends for 17yrs with a sincere connection. Beau is a retired pro-footballer now running the Blue Mountain Farm Resort with his family. Annabel is divorced and decided to become a single mom and now has her cutie Maisie.

Even though I had a supportive helpful husband and village, I recognize a lot of myself in Annabel and really felt this read! 
New mom. Emergency C-Section. PPD/PPA. The fears, overwhelm, new realities and struggles. Weird limbo and changes of your body. In a constant fog and survival mode. The grief and joy. 
She comments on not loving pregnancy or being a mom but still loving your baby. And nothing prepares you for it, but it's a massive change. Your priorities and life vision can change. "Somethings changed in me. The fire I had to climb the corporate ladder doesn't burn nearly as brightly."  All of this is 100% felt, experienced and agree. 

Beau has medical issues that made him give from feeling like a whole man to a broken one. They both with depression but I love they had their friendship and found comfort and aid with each other. I love the natural growth of friends to lovers. Beau still sees the Annabel that's not just a mom, and when she's having a tough time he immediately jumps in to offer help and R&R at the resort.  Truly a single mom seducer and swoonworthy!
