Paternal Instincts
by Nicky James
•spoilers•
Minutes before officially going on parental leave, expecting parents Aslan and Quaid are drawn into a case involving a missing child. The case proves complicated when no one seems willing to tell the truth, and the pressure mounts as they try to solve the case before the birth of their own child.
We've known since the beginning that Quaid has always had big dreams for a family, and it's finally happening for him and Aslan. There were so many sweet, endearing moments as they prepare for the new baby. They are going to be amazing, fun, caring parents. Every interaction they had with the surrogate - who's an absolute angel and I adore - and the baby was so precious. When it was time for the big moment, there were definitely tears of joy and happiness as they finally have achieved their dreams together. I secretly wish we got a snapshot into their future, because I can only imagine the shenanigans their family gets into with how different their parenting styles are going to be.
The case was pretty interesting, and no shade to the last book, but I'm glad we had a little suspense going on along with their personal storyline. I was getting heated that there were obviously secrets in the family and no one seemed willing to do what it takes to get the kid back, like just spill it! Your pride isn't worth your son's life. I could really rant about it, and I loved how Quaid gave it to them a time or two. I was so proud of Quaid for stepping in and protecting the children, not that I would have expected anything less, and loved that Aslan knew him well enough to know that he wasn't going to let this go and just gave him the support he needed. Seeing how everyone helped them to get through the case during such a stressful time just gave me happy feels.
I was going to rate this book even higher but a few things kind of stuck out to me as odd for them. They completely forgot about questioning the nanny for a bit for one, but the real thing was that I even caught on to who the culprit was before they did. I didn't know the depth of the crime and betrayal obviously, but I was right about the person. I'm also not convinced in the least the Quaid, the man who wanted to be at the hospital right when contractions started, would leave the imminent birth of his child to put his life in danger. I could see him wanting to save the abducted child obviously, however I'm not sold that was something he would do. And like the last book, I'm over the sneer.
This is the real and final end for Aslan and Doyle - cue the tears. I really enjoyed this entire series and seeing them go from hate fueled rivals to soulmates. They have such a beautiful life ahead of them and are a couple who I have absolute faith will make it to the end.
