Mr. Broody by Piper Rayne
3.0

I really really enjoyed this high school sweethearts, second chance, single dad story. It was full of raw emotions, forgiveness, acceptance, and lots of pining. 

Henry & Jade are made for each other.
Their history is full of love & support, while their future seems to only embody more of that, but stronger. 

Bodhi is a wonderful little 6 year old. He's funny, mischievous, and super sweet. 

I liked the way Jade respected the single dad status that Henry held. She put Bodhi before herself a lot. She was careful to make sure she didn't overstep either. The way Bodhi got attached to her was adorable. 

This story was really good overall. I do have a few issues with the audiobook, though. 
I wish the flashbacks were clearly advised - Like *10 years ago* or something. A lot of the flashbacks I didn't know were one until too late & had to rewind. 
I also did not appreciate coming off of a super smutty scene and thrown into the 6 y/o child's POV. That was a super buzzkill. I want his POV, I love this trend of giving kids a POV, but maybe we should put some space between some intimate scenes & the kiddo.
This would have been a 4⭐️ read, but i didn't like the buzz kill.
