I struggled with how to rate this book. The premise sounded great but it felt so rushed. Everything moves extremely fast which means we don't get any tension. I'm still baffled by the way the accidental pregnancy came around. It was a bit of a weird scenario.

I did love Chase though. He was a great mmc and he really stepped up. Unfortunately I just didn't feel any chemistry between him & Ella. Even in the epilogue they didn't feel like a couple madly in love.

Their traumas were briefly mentioned and then brushed over instead of being used to show their character development. We don't learn much about Ella's past until all the action is packed into the last 20%. The witness protection angle is supposed to add some suspense, but it's kind of forgotten about until the end.

I don't say this often but this book could've done with being longer. It just needed everything fleshing out a bit more. Whilst it was lacking something, it was still a quick fun read.

Waffles was the star of the show.
