I loved Cozy right from the start! This was a perfect addition to the series, even if it is now finished. Although I have questions about that at the end of my review, so stay tuned.

I love the model used in these promo images for Cozy. Seeing these before I really got too far into the story was perfect for helping me picture exactly what Cozy was like. Even as a big girl myself, I know I have trouble imagining that the women in stories (even when they are supposed to be bigger girls) are anything other than what society usually considers to have a perfect body. Now Daws always does a great job at writing whatever size of heroin the story calls for, but something about seeing a picture helped my imagination to take that step and be real.

Cozy had such a different back story, one that I was not expecting when she told the story. It was original, in my opinion anyway, but realistic for sure! And then there was Max. I loved him, how he dealt with his ex-wife, and what a wonderful dad he was. I mean this is a billionaire romance for sure, and an older man story, both ones that don’t always grab me, but the way this author wrote them was perfection. I loved the way the two figured it all out, that even though they had their entirely reasonable and appropriate apprehensions about starting anything with the other one, they let things play out in a way that was realistic to me. Even the drama parts weren’t over the top dramatic in a way that would irritate me, again, they were realistic and written to make the story flow in a way that I couldn’t put it down.

As usual, the author’s humor makes the story as well. I always learn some kind of new word or phrase it seems when I read her books. This time around it was “Zaddy” and FUPA. Be careful about looking that second one up. Cozy’s clumsiness is cute, and of course I love the way she shares stories about Everly with her father. And then there was the list of “kinks” that they kept. That was fun as well. Oh yeah, and even though I’m personally not a Fifty Shades fan, the different ways Cozy kept feeling the book in her life made me crack up.

Now, back to the end of the series issues. We start this book off right away with extra characters that as we got to know them a little more throughout the book I know I need them to get their own HEA. Like Max’s brothers. And Cozy’s best friend Dakota. Amy Daws, are you listening to my request? Pretty please?
