It was good, the romance was cute and all but I just can't shake the uncomfortable feeling of what ended with Jenna.

She was not the other woman in this situation and Aubrey is also not at fault but I really did not like the way Isaac handled his relationship and break up with Jenna and how the story made her out in the end. Imagine being in a relationship that you thought was perfect, planning your wedding and that everything was just right and then out of nowhere comes a girl and a daughter that he supposedly have, then you were made into this cold person just because you were ambitious and that you're supposed in-laws didn't actually like you, the man you were suppose to marry suddenly acts different to this baby mama like she was the one that got away. All of that came out of no where and I would have honestly loved the story more if Jenna had a better ending in this story but she was just written off like she meant nothing to the MMCs

It was a good read. Was it memorable? No. But did I enjoy reading it? Yes I did. It was a good read but I can't fully explain why it didn't click to me the way I was hoping it would. I was also not a fan of the age gap which was surprising cause I love age gap romance and I think it was because she was just barely legal and the oldest was 39? and then the dynamic was just a bit off.

I love every second of reading this book and regretting not reading it any sooner. The emotion, the angst, the spice and everything on this series is perfection. I love that the build up of their relationships to her was stretched out through out the series and not have them all date her on one book. I love the flow and the pacing of the story. I love each individual relationship that was formed in the book, I love the relationship and understanding with each brother and their devotion to her. I surprisingly love that they didn't have that much of group activities and that it rather focuses more on each of their relationship to her not just as them as a group loving her.

Oh Dr. Stanton it was not easy to love your character........
There were so many parts of the story where I just want to dive into the book and beat the sense into Dr. Stanton and his brother. Oh I just want to bash their heads in the wall. They were infuriating and I almost DNFed the book out of anger, Isaac was the only man in this book with the right sense.

Hannah Bunny and Maddox Lovelace is such a cute couple. Definitely one of my favorite part of the book was when Hannah was fired while Maddox was out of town and Maddox lost it when he returned and her office was empty

This was a really short backstory of when Hannah and Maddox met. I'm usually in for insta love kind of romance but I'm not really sure their connection warranted a 15 long years of longing. I mean it did feel like they were each other's "the one that got away" but I didn't really feel that much emotional connection for the two of them in this book. there was definitely a physical attraction. A very strong physical attraction.
