I’ve loved all of these books by Nora Everly, and this one fit in perfectly! The fact that it was two single parents matching up made for a lot of the two of them having an actual extra issue/person to be thinking about when it came to their relationship. One thing I really loved was all the family and friends we knew from the other books in the series. I love the Monroe brothers so much! And I think there might be another story that could possibly come around with one of their cousins and Sadie’s sister.

The history between the two characters was nice to follow and see how things could have changed. But I love that Sadie said she wouldn’t change a thing, even all the terrible things, because of what she had now, her sons, which I loved their names – Flynn and Rider! And oh gosh they were the cutest little buggers! I feel like once again an author has made the ex not as bad of a guy as possible. At least for Sadie’s ex. I like that he was still a good father, redeemable a little, even if he hadn’t been right for her or treated her like she should have been. Sad to say that it doesn’t sound like Barrett’s ex has any such redeemable qualities as a mother for the most part she seemed to be pretty selfish.

The final bit of drama was good. Everyone’s reactions were what I’d think was realistic, not to mention how things were solved. I still wonder though if these fit into the library world so much, couldn’t we just have a Monroe brother series? Like we got with the Jiffy Kate series that split off from the Bakery? Although I might be justifying buying a physical copy because it has the library cover, lol.
