When I saw the tropes, the only one that worried me was surprise baby. I'm picky when it comes to it because I just want it to be more than a misunderstanding or ghosting for no good reason but I still gave this a go because it's Cala Riley and I trust them. Let me just say they didn't disappoint me in any way especially regarding this trope.
Olivia & Mason had a special one night stand where they just wanted to explore their connection and they only knew their first names. When Olivia discovered that she was pregnant , she tried to find her baby daddy except she only knew he was Mason so she went to the hotel they were at that night and tried to figure out who he was except things didn't panned out as she hoped and that wasn't because Mason refused to take responsibility or because he didn't want the baby. I'll let you figure out the rest but I just wanted to put this here so that you can see what I mean when I say this trope has to be written in a way I will like.
I loved Mason. He was always stuck on Olivia and the way she rocked his world but he never managed to find her and he tried so when he walks into one of his hotel's and find Olivia at the reception desk, he couldn't believe his eyes and his luck too except she didn't want anything to do with him but Mason wanted her because he knows she is the one for him so he tried to figure out why she was acting the way she was. Suffice to say, when he sees why she is like that, he is upset but also amazed because he has a beautiful little girl with the woman that got away.
I swooned the whole damn book from that point forward. Mason did everything including sleeping on the cold floor and not his amazing bed because he wanted to be present for his little girl but also Olivia. I loved how in no moment did he waiver and thought he never wanted to be a dad or have the responsibility. He was all in the moment he learned he had a daughter so his plan now was to convince the mother of his baby that the right thing was for them to be a family because he loved them and not because it would look better for society. He was such a great father and I was a sucker for him. 🤭
Olivia went through a lot being a single mom but she had her BFF, Cloe, to help her every step of the way. She didn't want anything to do with Mason but she still felt towards him the same connection they had that one night so she had to decide what to do about her new situation. I liked that Olivia pushed against Mason but she also gave in when needed. I think the authors did a great job in balancing Olivia's character.
There was a point when Mason was fed up with Olivia distrusting him and his motivations and she realized what she was doing and she apologize and to me that was a great scene showing what I mentioned above.
I loved the friendship between Olivia & Cloe. They are friendship goals.
Mason's group, Max (his brother), Bradley & Eli, was everything. I loved them whenever they were on page but especially when they fell in love with Mason's daughter the moment they saw her and they even had dates with the little girl.
One of the best moments in the story was when Mason took his daughter on a Daddy date so she could learn how men should treat her in the future. It was so damn cute! 🥹
I loved everyone in this story and I honestly can't wait for the next story in this series!
