One of the highlights for me was seeing the beautiful relationship between Michael and his Dad, Max.

He’s a good guy with a huge heart, completely alpha of course, and his sense of wonder over his unborn child is just gorgeous. Jillian is smart, sensible, strong yet vulnerable, and so relatable, and of course Michael is a dream. “You have me … You fucking own all of me.” And, of course, there’s also a healthy dose of sexy time that is blisteringly hot. Michael is such a force when going after what he wants (Jillian included), but their romance is a slow build, full of chemistry, beautifully sweet moments, and an attraction that creates fantastic sexual tension.

It’s such a gorgeous story and I loved watching Michael and Jillian find their way together. It’s a fun set up, and it’s so well done, and the story unfolds beautifully as Michael declares himself immediately ‘in’, and works hard to make up for the time he missed, and to prepare for the big changes coming their way. Random circumstances result in them unwillingly losing touch, but five months later Michael is picking up his young nieces from school and wouldn’t you know it… Jillian is their teacher. Jillian didn’t even want to go on the date, but she was talked into it, and while her night looked like it was going to be an absolute disaster, she ended up being rescued by Michael, and the two of them share drinks, banter, and one steamy as hell night together. On his first night in town he meets a woman who has just been stood up by a blind date. After a bad experience with his coach, he has been traded to Dallas, to play on the same team as his cousin, Cooper, and hopefully get the fresh start to his career he so badly needs. Michael is the son of Max and Allison (from Something So Irresistible), and he’s all grown up and playing in the NHL like his father, uncles and grandfather before him… and a handful of cousins. This is a gorgeously functional, angst-free romance, and I loved it!

What a fun read! A surprise pregnancy story that is sweet, funny, sexy and swoony, with one of my favourite book families along for the ride.
