I tried to start this series at book one so many times and just could not get into it. I have no clue why, because I very much enjoy Albert's writing. So I skipped to some tropes I know I like, especially from Albert (single dad, friends to lovers) and found a hit!
The synopsis on my copy undersells. It's not just a second chance romance, but also a childhood friends to lovers with a demisexual lead and a blended family. I also really enjoyed the plotline of approaching/embracing big life changes mid-adulthood. A tender romance with a fresh plotline that really scratched the Albert itch I'd had for a bit.
