Did I say that I'm not a big fan of second chance romance in 50WTWBYL review? Well... That has changed. I definitely love second chance romance, but only if their break up has good reasons and they get back together yeaaaars after the break up and that's what the Bower Boys series is.
I got my eye on Desmond since the first book and once again I am blown away but Kelly Siskind's men. Who would've thought the grumpy Des is such a big softie inside? The way Des does everything to be the best dad for adorable Max and the the father/son relationship in general was beautiful it warms my heart every time. Sadie, oh Sadie, the purest and kindest soul I swear she's perfect. When she met Des after 10 years, she didn't even care that the old Des who was a golden boy going into law school is now just a bartender, she just loves him as much as she loves her son.
Can't even remember how many times I sobbed while getting through this book. I AM HURT. The fact that the grovelling wasn't only for Sadie but also Max?? TEARS. If only there were more scenes from their younger years, I wouldn't mind some more angst.
This book DELIVERED, just like the first book but even better. I'm glad I still have a long way to go cause I'm surely not ready to say goodbye to Windfall yet. So excited to read Lennon and Maggie's story! Oh and shoutout to Olivia, she deserves 100 handmade bracelets for all the advices and honesty she has given to Des, and to all the hiking kids, they made this story ten times even better.
Thank you Netgalley, Kelly Siskind, and Montlake Publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
