Can We Try? by Kaylee Ryan

This was a decent small town, found family, accidental pregnancy, friends to lovers romance.

For being book #5 in the series, I didn’t feel lost at all having not read any previous ones — which I definitely appreciate as someone who doesn’t often read standalone series in order. The couples from the previous books are featured heavily in this one as they’re all close friends and the guys work together.

Unfortunately, I think this book didn’t work as much as I was hoping for purely due to personal preference. While I absolutely love the accidental pregnancy trope, I tend to prefer a more angsty read. This felt like a hallmark movie with a couple rated R spicy scenes.

Additionally, the romance connection for me didn’t come across as strong as I was looking for. The MMC was down bad for FMC for sure, but the shift from “I don’t do long term or cuddle” to “I want this girl to be mine forever” felt a little sudden with his thoughts.

I think this one will be a big hit for fans of the previous books of this series as well as fans of sweet, slow burn romances.

Thank you to the author and Grey’s Promo for the e-ARC. Review is my honest opinion.
