Sara did it again! Made a super horny book that also made me cry! 😭😂

Briar and Caleb have been together for over a decade, but since their daughter was born six years ago, sex has been reduced to a chore, as the intimacy of the act has been replaced by the “need” to conceive again.

Enter, Dean, who is renting the apartment over the garage, and hates Caleb due to an incident many years ago. Jealousy and insecurity in our married couple’s relationship has these three tangled in a web, and then there’s what everyone else will think…

These three coming together was so hot, but also so sweet. 

I definitely related to Briar, and I think anyone who has ever struggled with infertility will recognize a bit of themselves in the emotions and struggles she experiences, especially in the beginning.

Caleb’s journey was also so emotional, finally recognizing and accepting a part of himself that connected him with his baby brother, whom he hasn’t seen since his brother ran away from home years ago. 

And Dean was perfect for them, and their little family. Yes, yes, the bedroom stuff was 🥵, but his interactions with their daughter were so funny and real to me. Their scenes together were definitely a highlight for me.

I will say that things sort of escalated a little quickly in my opinion (cue me scrolling back to make sure I didn’t skip ahead…) but I still loved the rest of the journey.

Thank you Sara Cate for providing me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!
