3.0

I’ll start by saying that I didn’t read the whole series, just this book.

The rest of this review contains spoilers.

Breaker Cane. Yes. A million times yes. A hot man who is genuinely sweet, somewhat nerdy, has incredible attention to detail/has a great memory, and has a DIRTY mouth? We love him.

Some things I appreciated:
  • Breaker didn’t lead Birdy on or use her to get over Lia.
  • Lia didn’t cheat on Brian.
  • Breaker and Lia didn’t have a third-act fight or breakup. I HATE those in romance books!
  • The spice was great!

Some critiques:
  • How did they not realize their feelings for each other sooner?!
  • The gender reveal party and talk of the other women being pregnant was unnecessary. Again, I didn’t read the whole series, so maybe I’d feel different if I were invested in those characters and their lives, but, like…they had their own book! Leave Breaker and Lia alone.
  • I wish Lia didn’t go to coffee with Brian. I’m glad he apologized, and I recognize/appreciate what it did for Lia and her openness, but couldn’t they have had this conversation in the store? Or Lia could’ve at least told Breaker about it!
