*~*~*~*~*
I came across this novella while applying for the sequel ARC, and I would just like to say how grateful I am for KU because I was able to binge this book over a space over 9 hours and at times, couldnโt put it down, because I became extremely obsessed. I finished reading the book just after 5am, but who needs sleep when youโve got a sexy doctor on your mind? Not me.
The thing that really stood out to me in regard to this book is to how Maggie and Aiden meet. Iโm a sucker for friends setting their friends up, but when itโs not even with an intention to have them fall in love? Itโs even better. I absolutely LOVED that these two people met purely based on the fact that they wanted to help their friends out, and that because of something so selfless, they found their one true love.
Aiden Wood is a single dad who focus on two things: work and his daughter. Heโs old enough to know what he wants in life and heโs happy living life the way he does. Aiden is so extremely selfless and in all honesty, he is officially one of my favourites. Heโs right there alongside Brendan Taggart, Lane Collins and Jackson Pearce. This man is a DILF and I have never hated an author as much as I hate Chelsea for creating a father so perfect that I want to be his wife and a step mum.
Maggie Houston is a wonderful woman who has one of the kindest hearts going, she loves her job and she loves her friends. After being divorced, sheโs failed to open herself up to the idea of love, but after meeting Aiden, that soon changes. She is so in sync with her own body and confidence and itโs something that I really adore about her. Sheโs not afraid to tell Aiden what she wants and I find myself relating to her in numerous ways. Sheโs become a comfort character for me and I truly wish she was real, because I need someone like Maggie in my life.
I would really just like to compliment Chelsea on something that she included in her story, or more like two things. Without going into too much detail, I love the response that Aiden gave to Maggie when questioned about the situation with his ex-wife. The maturity he had within that moment was beautiful and something that had me smiling. Rather than being bitter about something that happened to him, he looked at things in a selfless way and was happy for someone who had the chance to hurt him deeply just so they could be happy. Itโs not often you will see a man do that, and for this, I think Chelsea deserves to be appreciated for it. The next thing I would like to mention is how the characters had made it known that they had miscommunicated with one another and made a joke about it yet owned up to. I am hater for the miscommunication trope, but Chelsea did it in a way that I couldnโt even be annoyed. Props to her for turning a frustrating trope into something I enjoyed for once.
Finally, I cannot find a SINGLE fault within this novella apart from the fact that I wouldโve loved to read more of it. It wouldโve been nice to see work come into play within the story as well as an epilogue of the characters in the future. Despite this, I loved every single second of this book and I cannot wait to read the ARC. Iโm so excited for Lacey and Shawnโs story, and I have no doin that itโll be as good as this.
PS. I AM NOT SORRY FOR RHE AMOUNT OF HIGHLIGHTS I HAVE DONE FOR THIS SMUTTY MASTERPIECE. I WOULD LET AIDEN RUIN ME A THOUSAND TIMES IN A NIGHT.
