Partying with Pixies

There were a few things that bothered me about this book. Throughout the first two books in the series and a few chapters in this one, it was a whole thing that Miriam and Alo have pined after one another for 5 years. But in this book there was zero slow burn! It went from 'oh we'll never be together' to 'WHAM BAM snack up shack up'. And the whole 'Iggy is so adorable' doesn't work on me, I'm not a kids person. That's on me, I knew what this book was about. But the biggest issue I had, was that Iggy's mom was pictured as some evil person, just because she didn't want to be a mom. She was pretty clear about that from the start, and she still went through pregnancy to give Alo the child he wanted so much. And then he blames her for not being there as a mom. That was the deal they made when they found out she was pregnant, right? It's unfair to expect her to take up that roll. And Miriam crying about it and reassuring Alo he is somehow the victim in this whole thing, just pissed me off. If I would live in Ever, these two would not be my friends.

I've been buddy reading this series with Destiny and Malli and I've been loving it so much. The second book kind of fell flat a little bit but this one is by far my favorite one so far. This is a single dad romance. Alo has been raising his son Iggy pretty much since he was born. He has given up pretty much everything so his focus was only on his son. He thinks that's the way it should be. I love Iggy so much. Normally when kids are part of a book they either don't play that big of a part or they are trying to break the couple up. That was not the case in this book with Iggy and I loved that so much. 

I loved all of the pining between Alo and Miriam but I am happy that the author didn't drag it out through the entire book. Alo and Miriam are perfect for each other and I just loved reading their story so much. I didn't want it to end but at the same time it means we get the Keeper's story next which I have impatiently been waiting on since the first book. This book is a bit steamy so if that's not your cup of tea I would skip this entire series but if you're ok with so steamy scenes and some pining then I would highly recommend this book.
