Absolutely loved this book and the way it ended! Their daughter Maddie was a cutie pie from beginning to end and I’m so glad the mc’s were able to work it out together to give her the proper family their little one deserves 🥹🫶

I loved this and listening to it on audiobook elevated the experience. I rooted for the MCs so much and loved the unveiling of their past relationship alongside their current relationship rebuilding. The flashback scene with her mum was really needed and tied things together well. A second chance romance done well in my opinion. I will probably always find this author comforting to read and so I will definitely be revisiting this again.

Daaang that was good. I listened on audio, which was just perfection. Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell are a dream team of stellar performers. But the STORY?! So good!! It’s a second-chance romance featuring a single mom and the child’s dad. I loved the redemption storyline. Like, the dude majorly messed up when they were younger and it’s a tough story to listen to/read about, but the payoff is worth it. 

Brief synopsis (I don’t think these are spoilers?): famous actor reconnects with ex and their daughter after recovering from a few years of addiction and being waaaay too deep in the Hollywood drug/party/constantly working scene. It’s cute, some spice, and definitely an HEA.
