I thought this novella was really fun until I got about 80% of the way through. Once the whole pregnancy thing happened, I got pissed off and couldn't enjoy the story anymore. Still, the first 80% is worthy of 3 stars, so I won't rate it any lower. Now for my rant (spoiler warning):

First of all, yes, "Rob" was a shitty boyfriend, but just because he got you pregnant doesn't mean he lied about having a vasectomy. Vasectomies are not a 100% guarantee (you don't shoot blanks immediately after having them) and they can be done incorrectly or even reversed (sometimes the body can just reverse them naturally). Second of all, Michelle wants to have the baby, not because she is Catholic or even wants the child, but because her mom is Catholic and she doesn't want her mom to think she's going to hell. If that's the case, why are you having a baby out of wedlock and then giving that baby to a gay couple. THOSE THINGS WOULD MAKE YOU GO TO HELL TOO? SO WHAT THE FUCK?

AGAIN, Michelle is willing to put her body through a pregnancy she doesn't want, for a baby she won't keep because it would "always remind her" of her shitty ex-boyfriend, all because she doesn't want her mom to believe she might go to hell. WELL YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT ANYWAY IF WE'RE GOING BY THE CATHOLIC PLAYBOOK. It makes no damn sense to me.

It's obviously a plot point so that Gabe and Dante can adopt a child, but like... there's so many other ways the authors could have done that. The choice to have that be the way they got their baby was baffling and felt oddly moralizing for a book series about gay hockey players.
