I Saw Her First
by Jen Morris
Every time I read a Jen Morris book it reminds me how much I love Jen Morris books and this was no exception! I really enjoyed this "age gap, ex-boyfriend's dad who she actually knew first and liked more but didn't realize their relationship until too late" romance. We met Daisy in the first book in this series, as the barista at Joe's coffee place who helped the two MCs get together bad became friends with them. She's now been at the shop 7 years and realized she's stagnated in her life. She came to New York after high school, left her awful family after experiencing intense loss, and wanted a new life but feels stuck. Weston has been going to the shop for about a year and seemed sad so she tried to cheer him up. He still wears his wedding ring since his wife passed three years ago, but she doesn't realize she's a widower so she ends up dating a guy she meets who she figures is closer to her in age and more appropriate. Then they figure out who each other is, the son is an ass and dumps her (already was strained with his dad) and Daisy and Wes try to avoid their feelings but eventually end up together. Chaos ensues later. The way they both were dealing with grief and allowed each other space to feel their feelings, miss their people, and also being light back to their lives together was lovely. The spice was good and for some reason the pet name "babygirl" wasn't ick like it has been for me in other books so that was nice, especially considering the virginity aspect (which was well done in my opinion). The connection to the other series was fun and now I want to reread those books. I think I know who one of the MCs in the next book in this series was set up to be so we'll see what happens!
