Amy Daws is back with a funny, sexy, and heartwarming story!

Wyatt is content with his remote life in the mountains, surrounded by his brothers and working, but he is missing a child of his own. He’s been the doting uncle but is ready to take on fatherhood. With the help of his niece (unbeknownst to him), she is determined to find him a surrogate to carry his child. But she also has some other plans.

Trista needs money, and having children and a family of her own isn’t something she wants. After being rejected by a surrogacy agency, she runs into Every Wyatt's niece, who has plans for her uncle.

I loved the timeline of this book; it was in the future and years after we met Everly. I also loved how Everly had chapters from her point of view. The chemistry between Wyatt and Trista was scorching, and so were their encounters. I loved the banter between the brothers and wished we had a little more of the family dynamic. I loved both characters' strength and vulnerability; I thought they complimented one another. I am so happy that Amy is back and can’t wait to read the next brother. I hope Everly continues to play matchmaker because it was such a clever way to bring her into the book. And just maybe we will get her love story

“You had to be everything I’ve dreamed about, every wish I’ve made on falling stars and birthday candles and pennies in mall fountains, and you had to make me fall in love with you.”

This book was so damn heartbreakingly beautiful! Talk about being on an emotional roller coaster. My friends know I don’t usually go for an age-gap romance because, honestly, they usually give me the ick. I just had this feeling that Jennifer’s writing wouldn’t do that to me, and I was right. I went into this book with an open mind, and let me tell you, I ate it up. Her writing is beautiful, and she takes you on this incredible journey of love, friendship, and growth. Reed and Halley are soul mates, age be damned,

Reed is an incredible person and father and just wants to do what’s right. He struggles with his feelings towards Halley and tries to bury them.

Halley has been through so much in her lifetime, and she finally has found someone she connects with on a deeper level. All while struggling to keep her feelings at bay to protect a family she truly loves.

“Father didn’t love me; Mom didn’t love me enough. I guess that was why I loved too much. I had a lot of loveless holes to fill.”

There was so much sexual tension and angst in this book that I could hardly stand it. I felt like I was rooting for something to finally happen, but then I wondered if I really wanted it to happen. Like I said, it's an emotional roller coaster.

I can’t tell you how happy I was to receive the ARC of this book; it met every one of my expectations. I can’t imagine I’ll read another book that will bring it to this level for a long time. It is truly a fantastic read!
