I have binged all three of the Windy City series and have given them all five stars. I am obsessed.
If you haven't read the first two, I'd recommend them, obviously, as I've rated them highly, but also because of the crossover of characters.
Malakai "Kai" Rhodes is a baseball player and single dad to sixteen month old Max. Max's mother dropped him off at Kai's when Max was six months old and fled. Not wanting him to lose out on his career, his coach Monty and the rest of the team have supported him but Kai has trouble finding the perfect nanny and ends up firing them pretty quickly.
Monty's daughter Miller is burnt out from her high flying culinary job. She decides to take a hiatus for the summer and visits her dad. Monty enlists her to help look after Max for the summer whilst Kai is playing this baseball season.
Kai is fully focused on his son with his career no longer being the most important thing in his life and Miller is desperate to prove to her father that he has a reason to be proud of her.
This book is gorgeous. What I've learned from Tomforde's novels is that these characters really go through it. They have the most emotional time and my heart broke in some places. The similarities between Monty and Miller's mother, and Kai and Miller were perfectly done and the exploration of their feelings was beautiful to read.
I can't wait for the next one!
