“You are my addiction, Haley Hanes.” I kissed her again, then whispered, “My obsession, my salvation, and my demise. Every second you’re near me, I’m one step closer to relapsing.”

Okay so, I really loved most of the chapters of this book but I also disliked some parts. I loved the chemistry and angst between Liam & Haley but Liam was just so judgemental and rude. The groveling he did just wasn't enough. Especially when he left for nine weeks straight, missed Haley's birthday, then berated her for helping him with the investment. All she did was for the betterment of him and their little girls and she deserved some appreciation for it. Also, if the age gap was that big of an issue for him, why did he start to pursue her in the first place? I did like seeing them together but Liam's character development was way too late and the constant push and pull between them was exhausting. I liked seeing all the side characters especially Cole, Nora, Rae and Davis but the constant interference of the crazy ex and that guy Jeffry was getting on my nerves. Still, the moments with the girls were so adorable that I could get over it. The only reason I was able to enjoy this book was Haley's bonding with Maddy, Seraph and Mila. They were ridiculously cute and I loved the way they got attached to Haley so quickly. Overall, the book was enjoyable but still, I have mixed feelings about it.
