I hated everyone's names lmao
This was fine and average.
Contemporary with grump chef and (kind of) boring FMC. Like I loved her as a mum but idk how that linked up with desrvied herself as being, pre becoming a mum.
I didn't like how Knox was keen to get her pregnant asap after she had a traumatic emergency caeserean and PPH not 5-6 months ago. I kept thinking - no dude she needs more time to heal! Also did they have caesereans for all of their kids (peep the free epilogue). All I can think about was the accreta risk ๐ญ I need answers! I usually love breeding kink and stories with kids etc. but I was dragged out of the story by my work brain lmao.
Contains:
A good third act drama ngl
3 spicy scenes
Cooking!
Single mum with a newborn - very cute scenes with Knox helping her!

Memphis and Drake had brought life to my home. Laughter and noise that I hadnโt even realised Iโd wanted.
โIโm not a charity case, Knox.โ
โI cook for you because itโs how I show someone I care. I cook for you because I love the look on your face after that first bite. I cook for you because Iโd rather cook for you than anyone else.โ
โYou areโฆyou are a dream,โ he breathed. โI gave up on those.โ
โMe too.โ
Sheโd given me her best days. Iโd give her mine.
