This was really good. It did take a bit for me to get into though. I really didnt like him at first and was close to DNFing but I loved Out on a Limb so much that I had to keep going. It was worth it, once they both started talking to each other I loved them. I loved Luke too, his younger brother who he has custody of. The whole story was really sweet and satisfying even when it was tense/sad. I highly recommend it.

I can't believe this was written by the same author as Out On a Limb.

I really liked this at first but it was too fast paced. It's still insta-love if they're grumpy with each other for a bit and then completely obsessed with each other two chapters later (especially since both of them feel so shallow as characters). Much love for Warren's younger brother Luke though, his relationship with the main characters was so much more interesting than their relationship with each other. Overall pretty forgettable, the details are slipping from my mind as we speak.

No star rating yet. I enjoyed a lot of it. 

However, it was published in 2022 yet there’s a HP reference. This is made worse by the fact that the FMC’s best friend is trans (this actually slipped by me, I was listening to the audio and never heard this).

As for the rest of the book:

While I still enjoyed the romance, it wasn’t my favorite aspect in the beginning. I was much more interested in Chloe’s path to raising Willow. 

During the second half, I became a bit more invested in the romance. I was glad that the book brought up Warren’s anger problems and how he was dealing with them, but I don’t know that the way it was all handled will sit well with everyone. 

Listening to the scene where his anger comes out the most, jarred me. 

Most of the content warnings will be in that section, however i did want to mention the anger. There is a scene where a male character yells towards the female character and punches a wall.

Loved the idea of the story and the characters but there was too much swearing for my liking and open door that I had to skip over. Not a fan of how descriptive it was

I was recommended this author and I am so grateful I read this book! Warren and Chloe are amazing and caring characters. As someone in a family who went through the process of fostering a family member seeing the characters go through the same steps and emotions that we went through was very refreshing. The emotions of being so relieved one minute and walking on eggshells the next was represented very well. It was very nice to see characters that aren’t perfect and just trying their best. I cannot wait to read the rest of Hannah’s books!
