When I first saw stuff going around that Fiona Cole was writing another book in the voyeur series I was like oh cool. And then I saw it was another Olivia and Kent novella and I freaked. I was so excited and it totally lived up to expectations. This book was spicy and angsty and just perfection. I really felt Olivias pain in this and found myself tearing up multiple times. I would definitely approach this with caution if you are someone who gets triggered by dealings with fertility. Ultimately, Fiona Cole killed it with this book and it low key makes me want to actually finish this series.

Loved this! Olivia and Kent faces a conflict that a lot of men/women in the real world go through and their story is written beautifully. The spice is HOT! If you loved The Voyeur series you can’t miss this one!

I was dying to read this short story and I loved it, Olivia and Kent are my favorite couple from the voyeur series and I was really excited reading more about them and their future life. Olivia and Kent are now married and their sex life was still steamy and hot as it was 5 years ago.

Their relationship was still strong but Kent had to travel a lot and Olivia was determined to be a strong woman so she never told him how she struggled with getting pregnant. She suffered alone so all her emotions were affecting her relationship with everyone so Kent always tried to be patient with her and show her that their marriage was still the most important thing.

I loved reading their steamy scenes and their interactions, they had some ups and downs but at the end they loved each other and Olivia knew that she just needed to be honest with Kent so she wouldn’t be alone with her insecurities. They worked really hard to have a good marriage and it was really hot how Kent tried to spice things up and show Olivia that his main focus was her happiness and fulfill their fantasies.

Reading into their future was the best, they still struggled with some things but their marriage and companionship was everything they needed and I loved how at the end they finally were closer to get the family they wanted so much.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Okay this is a three, but the high side of a three like a 3.75 kinda thing.

The spice was there, 100% cannot complain. Also the characters were themselves which sounds basic but is not a give-in when an author comes back to a story so bonus points for that! I thought the story was actually warranted, not just an extended epilogue or boring plot line, but it's how the story peaked that has me holding back from giving this a 4 star mark. It was very... indirect and then just brushed over, and I wasn't a huge fan of that.

I will definitely be reading the whole voyeur series though for sure!

This was my first book by Fiona Cole and I am fully convinced to read the beginning of this series (this one is a novella that can be read as a standalone but I want to read the beginning of it all haha) because the friendships and dynamics of the characters are just too amazing for me to not know how they developed 🥰❤️

I had never read a book with the main focus being the struggles that can come with trying to have get pregnant so reading it was a new experience for me buuuut I think it was an experience that I needed!!! 

Alexander Kent truly stepped up when he needed to even if it was hard and that just absolutely melted my heart for him ❤️ and he most definitely stepped up at the end 😉🔥 you’ll have to read to find out but all I can say is that I was gasping, screaming and my husband thought I was losing my mind lol

Olivia Kent was going through a hard time and personally I can relate to her A LOT 😅 in the sense that sometimes I bottle things up too much but much like her I’m learning as I go! Her determination and strength made me love her sm ❤️

I loved getting more of Kent & Olivia. They are one of my favorites! She was so frustrated, and he didn’t seemed to pick up on that. Someone had to bring it up to him. How so very real life! I loved when Alexander reminded her of their love. The end was perfect! I loved this book!
