Review:
I've been following Nicholas' series for a while now, and she has
quickly became one of my favorite romance authors. From the first
book I picked up, I was hooked.
This new series features boys who live in New Orleans; they know how
to have a good time, but they're also all part of a single-parents
group. They aren't all technically single—as Lindsey isn't—but
most of them are alone in one way or another and need the support of
other parents in similar situations and experiences. They all have
different parenting styles, they're of varying ages, and they throw
ideas and worries at each other, and get feedback on them.
Lindsey isn't single, but her husband Matt is in the military, and so
she only gets to see him a few times a year, if that. She's grown
used to parenting on her own, and her and Matt have learned to
communicate with each other. Even though Matt is so far away, they've
adapted so that it still feels like he's there, as much as they can.
They get time to video-chat, including him and the kids alone, and
he's there to help her make big decisions.
But this year, he surprises her with a Christmas visit. One of the
other single-parent members work with him for a fun way to surprise
her.
It was obvious how intense their chemistry was from the very
beginning. They love each other so much, even if they can't be
together all that often. They're open and honest with each other, not
afraid to be firm but also very comfortable with teasing each other.
I will admit I got pretty emotional while reading this book. I
probably would have actually cried, if I weren't at work while
reading certain scenes. It's both extremely heartwarming, and very
painful, how much they love each other, how badly Matt wants to be
there for his family but also wants to be doing what he's doing. And
how much Lindsey misses him, but supports what he's doing. When
they're officially reunited, and Lindsey gives in and cries, it's so
overwhelmingly sweet. It just warms me up inside.
I definitely wish this had been a longer book, as I wanted more time
with Lindsey and Matt together. I wanted them to have some more
sexy-times, sure, but I also wanted to see Matt with the kids some
more. I wanted to see Lindsey accepting her new dog. I wanted...
more. In a good way, because I loved every piece of this little
story.
I really hope that we get more of their story. Since this was a
little in-between novella, I hope maybe we get another one later in
the series. I want to check in with these two again.
This one was definitely another favorite in the series, and I
couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the next one, either.
