Firstly I’d love to thank the author and publishing team for letting me read and review this work before the release date!
I thought this book was very sweet! I think it’s honestly one of the best ‘single dad romances’ I’ve ever read. Part of the reason I think I liked it so much was that it never felt like JB was an “accessory.” I think this made the whole thing feel very real and authentic. This playing into the reason that the relationship blossomed also felt very appropriate to me; the reason the whole situation came about being childcare made sense, and I’d imagine having a natural and sweet relationship with your child would be a very attractive trait to a single parent!
Going along the same line, the “will-they-won’t-they” was done very realistically as well. It mentioned HR concerns, and when the “they will” came to pass, those concerns just didn’t fall away as loose ends. You don’t really have to suspend disbelief to feel like this could have been a real and natural romance, which I really liked. I think it was SO well done.
