I was given an ARC of this book and all opinions are my own.
After reading the 1st book of this series and loving it, I am sad to say I do not think I'll continue past Sudden Summer. I ended this book a bit numb. I love childhood friends to lovers when done right. However, this book took 3 days to read when usually under 400 if I'm blown away, takes me less than a day.
I didn't swoon, giggle, get warm & fuzzies or anything.
Let me say friends to lovers with an accidental baby from another woman who isn't there, can be done correctly. The bones were good. I've read this plot and loved it before. However, a 35-year-old virgin waiting for him because he's an idiot? No. It's not the romantic moment you wanted it to be.
A woman desperately wanting a family of her own and waiting 30 years for someone to pull his head out of his booty and he ONLY got there because of his situation and not his brain/heart? Absolutely not romantic. Not even a little.
Even the "proposal" was bogus.
It takes a lot for me to be heavily critical of a book but unfortunately this book contained a multitude of things wrong with society that angered me. Women deserve better. Especially if their situation is being written about by a woman.
Thank you to the author and House of Hearts for the opportunity.
