Vanessa is a travel vlogger and just had her niece dumped on her. Adrian owns the building they live in and works as a lawyer. When Vanessa gains custody of her niece it’s not just her life, but also Adrian’s life, which quickly changes after he comes over at 4am and proves to be the baby whisperer. 

This book is once again bloody adorable! Jiminez does a beautiful job at creating such loveable romances that also tackle hard topics - in this case risk of neurodegenerative disease, addictions, mental health and fostering and adoption. All of these topics are huge ones to address and so can’t necessarily all hit the same way they might with lived experience. You can tell Jiminez has good intentions in addressing these heavy topics and the happily ever afters she aspires to provide them. The joy of this book cannot be undermined, long live Jesus’ abs! 😍😍 it took me a while, but it’s official, I’ve read the whole trilogy and I can’t wait to get into more of Jiminez’s books soon! 😍😍
