Thank you to love notes PR for for an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

This book is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. 

Everly packs her bags and moves back home to be closer to her parents after her ex husband cheats on her and she has finally had enough. 

After working in town for a bit she runs into Jake and continues to see him around and once he meets her daughter the two become inseparable. 

Jake’s and birdies relationship is sweet and seeing how he really stepped up and cared for Birdie before him and Ev were even official was too cute. 

THIS IS A SMUTTY BOOK BE FOREWARNED!!! Despite swearing off men Ev and Jake’s chemistry steamy.  SMUT IS FREQUENT AND DETAILED
