4.5

The format of this was different than the rest of the books in the series. In this we get a time jump and, for the majority of the book, I was mad we didn't get more of what led up to Winter finding out she was pregnant. (Not a spoiler.)

In any case, secret baby in this book didn't mean what I was expecting it to because more than the father didn't know who the father was at first. I was expecting secret baby to mean the mother finds out she's pregnant and is concerned with how the father will react so she delays the news. I did think it was a stretch that Winter wouldn't have told at least some of her close friends and family. 

I also didn't love the twist when Winter tells Theo she's pregnant. But, I did love how Theo stepped up after a while and how sweet he was with their daughter. He was such a good father. (Trying to be vague here to avoid spoilers.) I also loved Theo's mom and Peter the dog. I'm a big country music fan and I loved the country music references in this book. 

Favourite quote: "That night we were reckless. But god, I'd be reckless with you over and over again if it means ending up here."
