Jeff Jarvis

For the most part, I enjoyed this book, although I found the ending to be more abrupt than I expected or wanted. I enjoyed the development of the relationship between the MC's and the inclusion of the interracial pieces.

I checked the audiobook version of this out from the library solely based on the preview text and the cover. It sounded like it would be a fun listen and I was treated with one of my fave books of the year so far. Overall, the story is probably more like 4.5 stars out of 5, but the narration of the audiobook adds on the extra 1/2 star. The whole last 1/4 of the book has so many great interactions between the main characters and friends that left me legit laughing out loud as I listened. All I will say is “Big Daddy” will leave you laughing and groaning at the same time.

This is one I will get from Audible for my personal library so I can listen to it again. It is a very sweet, low to no angst story with a nice long slow build to the first sex scene between the MCs. It is truly a fun listen; one that I highly recommend.

Fantastic trilogy! Well worth reading or listening to all of them.

4.5 Stars

I went into this book blind as I decided to not read the blurb about the book in advance. I had read good things about Missouri Vaun's work in the past and decided to try her newest work with no background.

The beginning of the book was a nice slow pace with good character development and vivid depictions of the Pacific coast area. As the story progressed, I found the romance parts a bit quicker paced than I personally like, but they were enjoyable. I prefer a long slow build instead. The end of the book was a very quick pace with a satisfying ending to the story.

I would recommend this to anyone that is not familiar with Vaun's prior works as a good entry point to her writing. I will definitely be looking at other books she has written.

I received an ARC copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review.
