Riley and Nash are one of my favorite couples that I have read so far this year! I love the friends to lovers trope but not nearly as much as I love the It's not his but She's Pregnant trope. It will probably always be in my top 5 tropes.
Cali wrote these two characters so well, and I loved that she wrote them in such a way that they not only complimented each other but that they were in love with each other from the beginning.
Riley is a woman after my own π©· heart. She didn't like to ask for help because she didn't want to be in debt to anyone, even if they asked her if she needed the help. At times its so hard to accept it even if you need it. I loved Riley and how she embraced her found family in Nash's family and brothers on his hockey team throughout the book.
Nash, Nash, Nash. You sexy son of a beast you π. You have all the girls purring when you walk by, but I love how he only had eyes for Riley. No one else mattered but her, she was his home. This man pulled out all the stops when it came to showing her how he cared. It wasn't a monetary love, it was a I'm going to actually show you I love you. I loved his gestures and how he took care of her even when she wasn't expecting it. He really showed her what being loved and cared for was truly like.
When she was truly in peril he went Hulk at the hospital and I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't rooting for him. Because I sure was! I was like you get your wife, Sir!! He blew everyone else away when he came in roaring! What I would have gi en to be a fly on that wall when he said his wife π!!!
Nash had so much β€οΈ love to give to Riley and her little one and I couldn't have loved this man more for it!! Once he was able to truly express how much he loved Riley I think she was finally able to see how much he wanted to be in her life even though she struggled to see it.
Those moments that he got to spend being a daddy with their little one was so beyond precious π. I had tears in my eyes π and I couldn't help but feel the live as it poured off of the page. Their little family unit was absolutely adorable and I couldn't imagine feeling that precious moment that so many describe π₯°π₯°π₯°.
π₯ Let's Talk About Sex Baby π₯΅: πΆοΈπΆοΈπΆοΈ/5
Riley and Nash were some spicy π₯΅ folks!!
I LOVED IT!! Let's first talk about spicy π₯ micro tropes that were covered in this book:
He π¦ π
He has a Jacobs πͺ- IYKYK
Toys In the Bedroom
Breeding Kink
Praise Kink- Good/Bad Girl/Boy
They weren't afraid to spice things up! I loved that they were adventurous in the bedroom! They kept things going by doing different positions and in different places!
