ARC REVIEW - thank you to Kandi Steiner and Valentine PR for this ARC x

I absolutely adored this book, Will and Chloe have my heart! Both characters are dealing with so much in their lives, and the way they help each other grow and learn is just so beautiful. I love seeing Chloe’s relationship with Ava too, that little girl is one of my favourite parts of this book and seeing her progress through the story was so heartwarming. 

This is a single dad x nanny, hockey romance and Kandi killed it with the spice as always! I’m so excited for everyone to get to read this :)

My favourite trio <3

I was so excited for Drake, Isabel and Hunter’s story and it did not disappoint!!!

Each of them have come from different upbringings and the way that they have loved and supported one another through it all is so beautiful. I love the idea that Drake has always been a part of their family, and that in this fateful way he was always supposed to be with Hunter and Isabel. 

I really loved seeing Drake step into a monogamous relationship and embrace it so readily. And seeing Hunter accept who he is and step into his sense of self was so beautiful. 

I really loved Isabel and Hunter’s relationship, and that the further you get into the book you start to see more and more how big a part of their love story Drake has always been. 

I think this is my favourite of the SPC series!

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about Beau, but I ended up loving him so much. His and Maggie’s relationship was so sweet and spicy, and it was just so nice to see them both discover what they liked together. 

Maggie is such a badass and I loved seeing her confidence grow through this book! Beau’s anger had me a bit annoyed at times but the more that we learned about him and what he’s been through, the more I understood him and came to love him. 

I really enjoyed this book so much more than I thought I would!
