This was an unexpected favorite. I didn’t really know what to expect but I really enjoyed the direction it took and the story as a whole. The characters were some of my favorite and it’s rare that I like both main characters equally but it happened in this book. I loved how wyntet was closed off but slowly opened up and I loved how Asher was mature and went after what he wanted. The fact that she was a doctor and he loved her intelligence made it even better. I enjoyed the little forbidden aspect as well as them navigating how to be in a relationship and parent but I will say it didn’t feel like the baby was really part of the story. I also thought the book dragged on for a little bit but besides those 2 things this was an incredible story and I can’t wait to try out the other books in this series as well as some of J Samans other books.

Asher Reyes is the best book-boyfriend! We finally read what happened when he had the limp incident and it was hilarious! And then on their second encounter, the big surprise, heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time. It was one sublimely sweet love story!
Asher got sacked in the first pre-season football game and his coach asked for Dr. Wynter Hathaway to be his orthopedic surgeon. Since Wynter has just started as attending at Mass General Hospital, she was mystifies until she learned who the coach was, Joe Cardone, her biological dad, who abandoned her when she was five years old. Because of him, she hates football and all football players. And now she has to deal being the team’s doctor!
In previous books, Asher Reyes is cocky, funny and sweet. All his friends razz him about the incident where he met a woman, they started to have sex and he had performance problems. He was drunk, had taken muscle relaxants and was dehydrated from just playing and winning the Super Bowl. But the incident and the woman stayed in his mind, until one and a half year later she appeared in his life as his new orthopedic surgeon and she was to operate his shoulder.
He was a sexy, self-assured man, but when he learned he had a ten-month old son, he was a heartbroken one. He immediately loved the idea of a son. As soon as he met him, he was a complete goner. His huge heart and ability to love were the things that made me love his character in this story. Wynter’s easy acceptance of his part as Mason’s father also endeared her to me. They didn’t have manipulations, just the best wishes for their son’s happiness.
There are a lot of dark forces surrounding Wynter and Asher, all related to the coach, who didn’t seem to want Asher as his QB1 and preferred the QB2. So we’re entertained with the comings and goings of Asher and Wynter as they learn the ropes of co-parenting, Asher wooing Wynter into being his queen, and Joe’s malicious manipulations. It truly was a nail-biting, turn-over story!
The thing I loved the most was Asher’s comment: “I just want to be his dad”, as he begged Wynter to let him be close to them. The other one I loved is how he called her “my queen”, and he did indeed treat her like so. It was supremely romantic and it had a very satisfying scene when the villain is unmasked Very explosive, I relished that scene!
And now, looking forward to the next book that features the silent guy in the group, Lenox. He’s mysterious and reticent, of few words, and a little tragic because Suzie was his twin sister. I can’t wait for this one!

It’s complicated. It’s downright messy. It’s irresistibly risky. But isn’t life always?
I am not shy about voicing my dislike for secret or surprise baby storylines but this one is done well and in a way that felt understandable for why it was a surprise. And finally, Asher gets to meet the woman that he left less than satisfied when he won the Super Bowl almost 2 years before. I loved Wynter - she was headstrong but so full of love and Asher is such a cinnamon roll hero, I really adored him. Another great book in this series and it has been intrigued for Lenox's book because that man is one who will need a really good woman to make him crack.

pffff asher is super annoying. he didn’t get the difference between golden retriever and clingy. if a man would act like him in real life you better believe i would be getting restraining order

This was irresistibly spectacular! Every book in the series so far has been amazing, and book 4 can now be officially added to that list. Asher is fun! And charming, and sexy, and loyal, and delicious… Wynter is fierce, brilliant and vulnerable, and when these two beautiful people come together magic happens. I absolutely loved this - it was well worth the wait - and the teaser for Lenox’s story next has me amped for the final Central Square member’s story.
