Umm… this was certainly a book. It had promise and I liked the beginning parts.

The surprise pregnancy trope

was annoying and completely unnecessary. There was enough drama in this storyline that could have been used for a compelling story and to propel it forward, instead the author fell to an overused trope and stuck to the drama that trope created. I found it to be boring after that. The ending/wrap-up was really long and seemed liked the author was just trying to meet her word requirement.

I was so hoping for a Killian/Hazel romance next (grumpy, billionaire businessman and a take no sh*t small-town businesswoman, best friend of my friend romance), but alas Hazel doesn’t get her romance story and Killian ends up with… his daughter’s best friend? Ick. Sadly, I won’t be finishing this series if we’re going THAT route.
