seriously
I seriously find it hard to believe that this was the first book author wrote. The dialogue flowed nicely. The text thread was hilarious.

I love found family as a trope. This book did not disappoint! All the characters, including Lanie and Dex, were so easy to love. My only complaint would be the epilogue. It did not feel right to call it that, as it served to be the introduction to the next book rather than the final few pages of Lanie and Dex's story.

Really liked the storyline: single dad to three kids meets the cute nanny that has some past traumas.Â
Everything about it could make this book so good, however there was something about it that I didn't really like. It felt too fast, the writing felt very wattpady (if u know what i mean) and sometimes the main male character gave me the ick.
And there were 2 things about the female main character that bothered me: First she tells him she has traumas so she may not be able to be intimate with him for some time, which is super valid, however, not kidding u, the next chapter she was already wanting to have sex with him…. it felt weird, not real and kinda shitting on real trauma victims. The second thing was her supposedly, due to her past trauma, couldnt have kids… however whole and behold miracle surprise pregnancy 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 (there is not enough rolling eyes emoji to express my feelings when reading about this). Once again it felt like it was shitting on real woman who cant have children… I don't understand why author don't stick with real things, if she couldn't have babies, then she couldn't have babies! I don't understand this need to have a miracle pregnancy every time, as if in the real world its usually like that :/

This is my first Avery Maxwell book and I loved it. For me this story was predominantly about family; it isn't necessarily blood, your family can be those you chose, who love and support you no matter what. Lanie goes through a big journey in her life, such a rollercoaster, and it is so well written. I loved seeing her heal and find love. Dex is wonderful, I love how caring he is with Lanie, how respectful he is of her journey and how he takes things at her pace. Their story is full of heartbreak and love, heartwarming moments and sadness, but there is also some brilliant hilarity, my favourite being the MLM group text chat. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Loved it! I laughed, cried, and got sucked into this family so fast!
I loved everything about this and billionaire tropes are not my favorite. The found family, single dad, small town aspects were perfect! These families were so fun to read and I could picture loud crazy family meals and loved it!
Tate. The little boy!! Loved him!! Kid characters will either make or break the book and Tate crushed it! Loved him so much!! He made me tear up so much!
Lainey went through hell and her story was crazy!
Immediately starting Trevor and Julia’s book!
