Then together with our FMC, we learned to grieve and heal and try to make the best of things.
The author has a magical way with words, and having a novel within a novel takes the reader on a journey through the neuroses of being a writer and the power words have within and without the author's intention.
And somewhere along the way we also get to fall in love with older brother Tate-- a man we've been groomed to hate from the beginning and an OBGYN who made me regret for a split second choosing to have only female gynos in my life. But like all main characters in a Parker S Huntington novel, there's more to him than meets the eye, and like all of us, he's a little broken inside too.
I loved this novel. I loved Tate and Charlie. I still love Kellan. And I'm going to look closer at those I love and check in more. Just in case.

I loved the character development and fell more in love with Tate and Charlie and the book went on, I especially enjoyed how different Charlie was for the main love trope in a steamy book.
A good read, didn’t feel like a 700ish page book. I wish there was a few less contemporary references (felt a little bit cringe at times) but overall I loved it, and I love the way this author writes.

Sometimes we all feel guilty about things we can’t control and see all the different perspectives off life and it’s circumstances, see that no one it’s guilty but we are all responsible for our acts and need to be hold accountable for them, and news flash: by ourselves, because it’s no one job but ours to really understand our faults.
And yes, the smut it’s incredible 🤣
About the characters, I live for complicated minds, cat and mouse relationships. So this was a chefs kiss experience.
