I absolutely loved this and had such a great time from start to finish! I began listening to it after a really bad morning where I’d been so stressed and crying, and this INSTANTLY had me smiling and boosted my mood so much! True story! 

I really loved the first book, so was excited to delve into this instalment especially as its main focus was around Calder who is so funny.

Calder on paper is such a ‘lad’ and someone you’d think you’d hate. He objectifies women, sleeps around and doesn’t want to commit BUT he has a heart of gold and so much emotional intelligence, you just can’t help but love him! It was so great to learn more about him, his insecurities and passions. He absolutely had me in stitches with some of the things he’d say, but then he’d come out with something so moving and profound too. He was so endearing and caring towards Dakota even though they were ‘enemies’. The fact he is a cat daddy aswell is just too adorable. 

Dakota had been through the ringer with her douche of an ex-husband and there were some really harsh and heartbreaking things she put up with, so her growth in this book was really great and emotional- and it was all because of Calder, who not only pushed her out of her comfort zone, but made her feel safe enough to do so. Ah man, ok, I might be a little bit in love with Calder lol. 

Amy Daws has such a way with humour in her writing. The banter was top notch and these books are genuinely some feel good fun whilst also getting you in the feels. I cannot wait for Luke’s story in the next instalment!

I also have to give a shout out to Teddy Hamilton for his narration because he absolutely MADE Calder’s character come to life and I can’t imagine anyone else voicing him. 

I definitely recommend if you’re looking for a light, fun read that brings the 🔥 but also some laughs and heart.
