I liked the story, the smut was very good and the supporting characters were excellent.
But the main characters... oh God.

I took it easy on the MMC because he had abandonment issues and I truly believe he was dealing with everything in the best way possible, even if he failed to communicate properly some times.
But the FMC? Jesus fucking Christ, I wanted to throttle her! She was so fucking insecure for no reason, she had the communication skills of a toddler and she just kept using her pregnancy as an excuse for acting like an impulsive little shit with no sense of affective responsibility.
So the main issue kept dragging on and on because these two adults couldn't manage to act accordingly.

I will continue the series because, like I said, the supporting characters were good and I'm interested to see their own stories unfold. And I did like this book when the main pair managed to say what they were thinking and feeling every once in a while. But if I never see the inside of Penny's head again, it will be too soon.
