Recommendation
Another great book from Kristen Ashley! I love this series and have been excited for Auggie and Pepper’s love story. Above and beyond the romance, and heat we expect from KA, we got a book about navigating new romance when a kid is involved. You don’t see many stories with single parents, especially stories where both parents are actively co-parenting. I thought this thread of the story was written perfectly and really showed the difficulties of co-parenting and the effects it has on a kid. Speaking of the kid, Juno absolutely stole the show! There’s still a lot to be figured out with this series and that keeps me excited for new books and new couples in the series!
Excerpts
He’d known it was happening, but still, it was a shock to the system to realize that he’d fallen in love twice in a month.
Publisher synopsis
He’s perfect—but he can’t be hers.
Pepper Hannigan is determined to keep any romance off the table—and out of her bedroom—while her daughter Juno is still young. Sure, a certain handsome commando is thoughtful, funny, and undeniably hot, but Pepper’s had her heart broken before, and she won’t let it happen again. Not to her or her little girl, even if this hero could melt any woman’s resolve.
Augustus “Auggie” Hero can’t deny his attraction to beautiful, warm-hearted Pepper or how much he wants to make a home with her and her little girl, but Pepper’s mixed signals have kept him away. That is, until Juno decides to play matchmaker. Her efforts finally bring Pepper into his arms, but they expose the danger Pepper is in. To protect Pepper and Juno, Auggie will have to live up to his last name and prove happy endings aren’t just for fairy tales.
