Mack Daddy by Penelope Ward

4.0

⭐️ 4.5 STARS ⭐️
Once again Penelope Ward managed to captivate me with another stunning story. Mack Daddy remarkably turned out a way I wasn’t expecting and was filled with emotions that made my heart bursts. Such an exquisite and powerful love story. The kind of love portrayed between these pages was so pure and perfect, but with a lot of hardship!

Mack and Frankie were incontestably made for each other, but their love never came easy. They started as roommates than turned best friends and deeper feelings arose from there. They struggled with these new feelings for each other due to surrounding circumstances and never got to be a couple.

Now years later, Mack is back in town and one thing is sure, he wants Frankie as his, once and for all. He enrolls his son Jonah in her first grader class in the hope to conquer her, but there’s still multiple obstacles this time again before they can live their love: he has a jealous ex and she has a boyfriend. But even with the years apart, it’s easy to see that their hearts always yearned for each other.

That’s all this book is about, a boy and a girl fighting obstacles for this one of a kind love!

I loved how the present and past was narrated. I adored the parts in the past where I could see a cocky Mack and an awkwardly cute Frankie. Even if they were completely opposites, they just clicked and Mack never judged her, even in her embarrassing moments. Their incontestable dynamic and the ever present feelings for each other brought an anticipation to finally see them together.

Mack Daddy was a very strong read that made me dreamy. I fell in love with Mack and Frankie’s relationship and all the struggles they faced. Penelope Ward succeeded in showing me that second chance romances never get old; the hope, love and passion in these pages is truthfully sublime!
