The accidental pregnancy trope is not a lot of people’s cup of tea, but here it was written in such a way that it didn’t derail a storyline and instead was right out there. I’m also a fan of the married in Vegas trope (hello Wild Seasons), so I was very invested from the beginning. Sad that I flew through these so quickly.

Are you in need of a book that will make you stay up till 3am, wanting to stop and go to sleep all the time but your having the best time reading so you just can’t stop?

Well yeah this book it is.
I’m desperately in love with this book.

It’s different from the other three books in this series. But it’s still as amazing.

Keeley and Graham seriously stressed me out. Made me cry more than a few times (and I’m not a cryer okay? I get teary eyes. But I never cry. I did, however, reading this book).

They are just so heartbreakingly sweet and I just wanted to hug Keeley and say it’s gonna be fine. And then scream at those two „you fools love each other just get over yourselves and get together“

This book was perfection. And heartbreak.
I wouldn’t change a thing about it.
Elizabeth O‘Roark, as expected cause she’s just that kind of disgustingly talented, more than served with this book. It’s written purely beautiful and addicting. The characters are loveable and enjoyable and real - all the things I love about Elizabeth and her stories.
Her way of storytelling and writing is still waiting to find a worthy opponent.

She’s one of my favorite contemporary romance authors FOR A DAMN REASON. AND SHE REMINDED US ALL OF THAT REASON AGAIN WITH THAT SLAY OF A BOOK.

And not only did we get amazing main characters.
My boy Mark - you upped this book to another level. And also we get tons of Gemma and Ben. And some Drew and Josh. And even Tali and Hayes. So basically all my babes together in one book. Safe to say - I ascended to heaven.

And sorry but, Gemma? You slayed and I am still in love with you.


I said this books is perfect right? It’s more than that.
It’s wholesome from start to end. And I can only urge everyone to read it cause this book was the highlight of my day. My week. Probably my month.

(Yes, it's that good, okay? Do me a favour and read it if you don't trust me).

You can describe Keeley in four words. She is a mess. But she cares about everyone. She is a literal ray of sunshine even if her life is in tatters. The reason behind all her mess and wild life is so heartbreakingly sad.

I loved her friendship with Mark, even if Graham didn’t understand it at first! It was so sweet.

Keeley and Graham are perfect together, even if she calls him boring!! They balance each other out and it’s beautiful.

Their debate over their child’s name… epic!! Even if Keeley had some very quirky names!

There may not be a lot of spice, it was far and few between, but it was hot!! Even the snippets that Keeley remembers from their time in Vegas! Only Keeley could remember the spice!!

When Keeley went into labour… let’s just say, she is hilarious. Even her thoughts on the pains of childbirth was so funny, I may have laughed too loudly, especially reading during the time of night I read it.

This is such a great read! Hilarious, spicy and sweet.

What more could you ask for?


Thank you Elizabeth O’Roark and Valentine PR for an advanced copy for an honest review.

I’ve avoided the pregnancy trope like the plaque thus far and this was the first one I’ve ever read and now I’m beginning to think that I didn’t have to avoid it because I genuinely really liked this story

Spoiler I just thought the story of the wedding/impregnation night was a bit weird but that’s alright because throughout the book I was very worried that Graham was actually a very creepy creep taking advantage of a drunk Keeley which I’m happy to say wasn’t the case

For reference I HATE the pregnancy trope, I HATE kids and I often DON’T even LIKE epilogues because it’s all about kids ….
BUT I LOVED this book.

Really grumpy overprotective guy drunk married the sunshine hot independent girl. They go their separate ways … until she realized she’s pregnant.

Unmatched banter between these two !!!
Reading the blurb, I thought that Keeley was going to be annoyingly irresponsible but I was wrong, she was so likable and fun !

I am the first surprised but this might be my favorite one of the series ❤️‍
