I really enjoyed Damon and Adeline's story!
When Adeline discovers she's pregnant after a one-night stand with Damon, she is unsure what to do. She wants to tell him, but Damon is in the middle of his football season and Adeline doesn't want to get in the middle of that. When the season ends, Damon gets a text from Adeline about the news then she ghosts him. Left with no choice, Damon gets in his car and drives to the middle school where Adeline works and refuses to leave until he sees and talks to her. After confirming that the baby is Damon's, he knows that he wants to be involved instead of just sending Adeline a check every month.
Watching Adeline and Damon get to know each other was so sweet! Damon was such a nice surprise. Having a playboy reputation, you don't know what to expect of him as a father, but he took his role very seriously and made sure Adeline was taken care of from the moment he found out about the pregnancy until the birth. After the birth, Damon falls immediately in love with their child.
Adeline and Damon were such a good match! Their romance flowed so nicely and had me rooting for them the entire time. This book had me laughing and swooning page after page! Both these characters had a history to deal with, but I do wish we got to know Damon and his scars a little more. He had experienced something hard at a young age, and I wish we got to see him talk about it more with Adeline so that she could understand him more. I loved the maturity of our characters given their situation.
I never know what to expect with surprise pregnancy books, but this one was so well done and easy to read that I binged it in a day! Seeing characters from the first book in the series was also so much fun. I love character cameos! Overall, really enjoyed it and can't wait for Cooper's book next!
