Review: Caught Up (Windy City Series Book 3)
Rating: 4.75 ⭐️ | Spice: 1.5 🌶️
I thought I was heading into a book slump—not connecting with anything I picked up—until I jumped back into the Windy City Series and met Kai, Miller, and baby Max. This book brought me back to life as a reader.
I first met Kai in book 2 (which I read about 1.5 years ago), but this story truly cemented him—and Miller—into my heart. The chemistry and banter between the main characters were perfect. Kai gave Miller a place to belong, and Miller reminded Kai what it is like to have fun again, especially after stepping into fatherhood.
There were so many emotional moments that had me crying, but this quote absolutely broke me:
“Miller,” he says, making sure my attention is on him. “If you ever decide to stop running and make a home…” His eyes are begging, pleading. “Make it with me.”
The romance was beautiful, the spice was good—but honestly, what stuck with me was the love between Max and everyone around her. I bawled when Max finally said her name—I knew it was coming, but it still hit hard.
Also, the relationship between Monty and Miller was stunning. It takes a rare kind of person to step up the way Monty did, and his presence throughout the story made it even more moving.
If you are a fan of single dad romances, found family, and a strong, independent FMC who falls hard, I highly recommend this book.
Happy reading, everyone 📚
