Mother Pucker

With each book from The MomComs I fall more in love with the world that these authors created for the stories of their characters! and with Shay & Rowan I got a big surprise thanks to the unexpected plot, the moments they shared with little Kai and reading much more about Beckett's secret plans!
Shay is the most cautious of the moms, a woman who lost her husband 3 years ago to cancer, a situation that left her lost and terrified of losing her little son Kai, too. I was surprised and I really liked reading a little more about the old Shay, the adventures she had with the girls and how she lost herself little by little, and although it broke my heart to know her full story, I also liked reading her grow a lot throughout the book, fighting her demons, her fears and giving Kai, and herself, the opportunity to be happy and enjoy life. Another thing I really liked about this character was knowing that Shay has more people in her friendship circle who love and support her as much as Liv, Dylan & Delia.
I think Rowan is my favorite male character in the series so far: a professional hockey player (Kai's favorite), beyond cocky, flirtatious, who says what he wants, thinks and feels, and he doesn't stop until he gets it, especially when it comes to having Shay as his physical therapist, and then as something more. Rowan won my heart because in addition to being the sweetest with Shay, he is also the sweetest with Kai and I loved that he always showed how important they both are to him, plus he also has important and interesting growth throughout the book.
Shay & Rowan have a therapist-patient relationship that is what brings them together initially, but is also one of the main obstacles for Shay to accept the attraction she feels for Rowan, however, he’s persistent, and I loved that with his flirting, his gifts, his sweetness and the security he constantly gives Shay & Kai he managed to convince her to give herself a chance to start living again. I also loved that, without knowing it, Rowan helps Shay find herself little by little, that he falls in love with Kai as much as he does with his mother and that she is willing to face her fears to allow herself to be happy and live the love story she always deserved.
