Ahhhhhhh!!! This is why I love the single dad trope so much! For stories like these. Ryland isn’t even supposed to be a dad. He’s raising his sister Cassidy‘s daughter because she passed away from cancer. All the Mac moments tore my heart up and the narration, the way Samantha Brentmoore did Mac’s voice was the cutest thing ever.
So Gabby, yes I love her. She speaks her mind and doesn’t hold back.  That is the FMC type that I love. Everybody has a flaw right so she had a horrible relationship, and she had a horrible childhood, but she helped her brother Bennett become the great baseball player that he was and just waiting for him to go pro. She sacrificed a lot of her self for this to happen. Strong FMC for the win. 

Ryland is definitely grumpy sunshine, but he’s a big teddy bear because of the way he loves Mac and the way he loves and protects his family. But OMG the chemistry between Gabby and Ryland was unreal and so perfect!! I was absolutely here for it! The way they could not keep their hands off each other was fire!

The epilogue broke me…PERIOD!

Sidenote:  with that epilogue I feel like the series is complete, but are we getting a story for Bennett and Bower?! Because I agree with Ryland Bennett was checking her out and got flustered with her and I know that’s an age gap trope which I love as well.
