Reviews with content warning for Infertility - Caught Up

Another wholesome and fun romance in this series, although it felt a bit long.

Did not love the Isaiah/Kennedy side plot. Sexual harrassment at work isn't cute.

Liz Tomforde somehow found a way to outdo herself again with Caught Up. I devoured this book! I loved the previous two books in the series (5 stars all around) but this book truly surpassed my expectations. I love a single dad romance mix that with a nanny who is the coach’s dad? Hello, say less! I adored Kai, he is the sweetest dad to Max. He deeply cares about everyone in his life. I equally loved Miller, she is very relatable in her pursuits of awards and perfection/excellence. The relationship she develops with Max is so heartwarming. Kai and Miller are exactly what the other needs- grounding, supporting, and having fun. Honorable mention to the entire cast of characters, everyone is fabulous we love a found family moment! This book had me crying at so many different points, it definitely is the perfect mix of emotional, sweetness, and spice. I need everyone to read this book!

He’s got a backwards hat on, dark-rimmed glasses, and a toddler in his arms with a matching cap for goodness’ sake.

“You flirting with me, Montgomery?”
“Have been since we met. You gonna start flirting back?”

“Because it’s her dream, and I care about her too much to not help her chase it, even if that means I won’t be there when she gets everything she’s worked for.”

I know no one will ever compare to how complete she makes both me and my son feel.

“If you ever decide to stop running and make a home…Make it with me.”
