While the book was so frustrating at times, the book definitely made me feel all sorts of emotions and the angst was definitely on point with the kind of books I love. This is Kussy Gonzalez’ debut book and I was thoroughly impressed. Not going to lie, the book started slow for me, I had a hard time following at times because of the multiple switches in PoVs, especially since the audiobook has just one narrator. It’s also written in 3rd person. Regardless, once the book got super angsty, I was totally immersed in it and I devoured it. Both Logan and Hunter have pretty interesting dynamics with themselves and with the other secondary characters. I found it engaging and endearing, the book definitely had heart. It also made me mad at some points and enraged, lol. I wanted to smack these two and make them see what was in front of them. I definitely would’ve liked more of them as a couple and more of the HEA. Sadly, I feel like the book spent a lot of time in the front part, and was rushed at the end. Regardless, even though I struggled with the first part of the book, the second part kept me hooked and the rollercoaster of emotions and twists and turns were many. The last chapters I absolutely loved. this book is definitely a journey through these two character’s lives and has a very very hard earned HEA. Overall, fantastic debut by Kussy Gonzalez!...more

We sorta met him on Kismet (Cash’ boyfriend) so I was thrilled that he got his own story. Overall, this was a quick read, and super enjoyable, relatively low angst and hot cowboys! The audiobook is great. ...more
TBH, this is my least favorite of this series. Not sure if it’s the age gap, or the characters or just the lack of character development. Anyway, I juTBH, this is my least favorite of this series.

I love second chance romances, especially when the H has messed up. I also love secret baby books (lol, I know, I know). Ad a heroine with a backbone that totally did not just sat around pining for the dude celibate. Sign me up! Loved it, the audiobook was amazing.
I will say that if you’re not into cheating and cheating books, then this is not the book for you, and maybe you should stay away instead of attempting it and giving it 1 star because you just don’t do cheating books. I don’t mind the cheating if the redemption is good. And in this case, the redemption was really great.
“It will be okay, because I have faith in you, in me, and in us. We’ve always been meant to be, in one way or another. I’ve forgiven myself for not coming home to find you after I fucked everything up, I’ve forgiven you for not telling me about Sadie. I felt the hurt and I let it go. Because I’m not keeping room in my heart for anger, resentment, or regrets when it can be filled with love, laughter, and Sadie’s infectious smiles. Even if you still have hate for me the day I die, I’ll know that from this day forward I’ve loved you to my fullest. And that I’ve been the best father to our daughter. So, that’s how I know it will be okay.” “I don’t hate you,” I whisper. “Then we’re already okay, aren’t we?” ...more

But then I got the Sem audio on sale and decided to give this series a second chance. Bit am I glad I did because Sem is just fantastic! Sem and Maggie are just so cute (and dysfunctional) and I’m here for it. I do love the possessiveness of these heroes and the relationship dynamics. I’m hooked. The audiobook is ok, Liam Dicosimo is great, I’m not a fan of Cendese but it’s still a pretty quick and highly entertaining read. ...more
