Amy Daws is back with a funny, sexy, and heartwarming story!

Wyatt is content with his remote life in the mountains, surrounded by his brothers and working, but he is missing a child of his own. He’s been the doting uncle but is ready to take on fatherhood. With the help of his niece (unbeknownst to him), she is determined to find him a surrogate to carry his child. But she also has some other plans.

Trista needs money, and having children and a family of her own isn’t something she wants. After being rejected by a surrogacy agency, she runs into Every Wyatt's niece, who has plans for her uncle.

I loved the timeline of this book; it was in the future and years after we met Everly. I also loved how Everly had chapters from her point of view. The chemistry between Wyatt and Trista was scorching, and so were their encounters. I loved the banter between the brothers and wished we had a little more of the family dynamic. I loved both characters' strength and vulnerability; I thought they complimented one another. I am so happy that Amy is back and can’t wait to read the next brother. I hope Everly continues to play matchmaker because it was such a clever way to bring her into the book. And just maybe we will get her love story

“You had to be everything I’ve dreamed about, every wish I’ve made on falling stars and birthday candles and pennies in mall fountains, and you had to make me fall in love with you.”

This book was so damn heartbreakingly beautiful! Talk about being on an emotional roller coaster. My friends know I don’t usually go for an age-gap romance because, honestly, they usually give me the ick. I just had this feeling that Jennifer’s writing wouldn’t do that to me, and I was right. I went into this book with an open mind, and let me tell you, I ate it up. Her writing is beautiful, and she takes you on this incredible journey of love, friendship, and growth. Reed and Halley are soul mates, age be damned,

Reed is an incredible person and father and just wants to do what’s right. He struggles with his feelings towards Halley and tries to bury them.

Halley has been through so much in her lifetime, and she finally has found someone she connects with on a deeper level. All while struggling to keep her feelings at bay to protect a family she truly loves.

“Father didn’t love me; Mom didn’t love me enough. I guess that was why I loved too much. I had a lot of loveless holes to fill.”

There was so much sexual tension and angst in this book that I could hardly stand it. I felt like I was rooting for something to finally happen, but then I wondered if I really wanted it to happen. Like I said, it's an emotional roller coaster.

I can’t tell you how happy I was to receive the ARC of this book; it met every one of my expectations. I can’t imagine I’ll read another book that will bring it to this level for a long time. It is truly a fantastic read!

These boys are my kind of crazy and crazy they are! In book 3, Walker lived up to the insane and gave Lincoln and Ari a run for their money. How do I find this swoon-worthy?

Walker "Disney," the pretty boy, believes in love at first sight, and with the guys falling so quickly and in love, he is ready to meet his match. When he locks eyes with Olivia at his game and after she totally disses him, he knows she is the one. He falls for her right then and there and falls hard. He decided he would do anything and everything to get the girl, and boy, does he.

Olivia is broken and held under her manager and mother's thumb, manipulated and played her whole career. She needs someone like Walker to help her get out of it, even if he's motives are a bit skewed.

"I'm an empty husk that's been sucked dry of anything redeeming or worthy."

This book was a page-turner; Walker and Olivia were a great couple and brought the best out in each other. Yes. Walker is very questionable in his choices, but I kind of feel like that's what Olivia needed. I can't wait to get more of these crazy hockey boys!

I could tell from the first couple of chapters that I would love Wyatt’s character, and as the book went on, he just got better and better; he was funny, sensitive, kind, attractive, and full of great ideas. He was the perfect person to bring Aubree out of her funk. Aubree has always been known as the town grump, ornery, and angry. She has dealt with a lot throughout her life and is just trying to make ends meet to make her deceased sister “proud.” When Wyatt comes into her life, she isn’t prepared for him and is very wary of his intentions; as his intentions become clear, she has a decision to make, one that will give her control of all the farm and land. A Wyatt slowly creeps into her life; he brings light back to Aubree.

Aubree is so insecure it’s tough for her to see why a guy like Wyatt would want a girl like her. Wyatt makes it his mission to protect and help her. Sigh…He was everything; anytime a chapter came up from his point of view, I smiled. I loved reading his thoughts. I have to say this is one of my absolute favorite male characters Meghan has written. And I loved the complexity of Aubree’s character.

This book was fantastic from beginning to end. I also loved all the easter eggs planted from her previous books. I can’t wait to get Ryland’s book and more from Almond Bay!

I have gobbled up this series and couldn’t wait to get to Addison’s story. She is such a spitfire and a strong female character. It’s not until Chase comes into the picture that you see a softer, more vulnerable side to her. And the energy that Chase exudes is something else. And that energy is solely focused on getting Addison to trust him and be with him in every way possible. The problem is Addison won’t let herself fall for Chase and his charming ways. She’s been victim to it for a decade, and she wants to move on, but Chase is going to make that very difficult for her in the small town they are from because he is planning on staying for a while, and when he puts his mind to something he doesn't give up.

I loved Chase's tenacity and Addison’s stubbornness; they made for a great story and an angsty connection. One of my favorite tropes is friends to lovers and brothers best friends, and I think that fits in perfectly with this book. I won’t give away my favorite book of the series until I read Levi’s book, which I’ll anxiously await. I can’t wait to get into that man's head.
