Brynne Asher — 2018

Cam Montgomery is a single full time dad who knows his priorities: his kids, his job, his team, his side business. Dealing with his disaster of an ex-wife is bad enough, not to mention delinquent football players and a meddlesome mother. Cam doesn't have the luxury of time for anything more, especially a relationship. Even if it is sassy-wiseass Paige Carpino, who can still be sweet, but at every turn knocks him on his ass with the unexpected.That's figuratively speaking of course. Paige might come in a small package, but she makes up for it in spirit. An energetic spit-fire who has some heat to her sauce, she's dedicated to her new business ventures, her family and a select group of friends. She's never put herself out there, but then again, there's never been anyone worthy of putting herself out there for.Until one day in a burger joint, an asshole practically enters her into a wet t-shirt contest with his drink. Who knew a wet t-shirt could be the beginning of your life. Or more importantly, that asshole would be your reason for being. But anything and all of the above can happen when you finally put yourself out there for a single-dad-ex-football-player-smarty-pants-hot-man. When you throw the Carpino's, the Montgomery's and an eighty-five year old bossy woman in the mix, it's a recipe for...well...something big.Warning: This book contains a hot dad, a sassy heroine, steamy parts and naughty words. If you're under the age of 18, this author is frowning at you with her mama eyes telling you to walk away.

** spoiler alert ** Wasn’t expecting this to turn as thriller esque, captured exactly what it set out to do, a man who I love to read about but would never tolerate in real life. Took off a star because I didn’t think the pregnancy trope was great, a little too cheesy and last minute in my opinion, didn’t serve a good purpose.

Check out this and my other reviews at My Blog, Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest ★Book Basics★ Genre : - Contemporary Romance Series : - 3rd in the series Love triangle? - (view spoiler)[No. (hide spoiler)] Cheating? - (view spoiler)[No (hide spoiler)] HEA? - (view spoiler)[Yes (hide spoiler)] Would I read more by this author/or in this series? - Yes Rating - 5 stars ★Review★ Ah, I loved this book. And again, as I said with book 1 and 2, the characters in this book, were not just a carbon copy of the hero and heroine from the previous books in the series. I loved Paige and Cam and loved their relationship. You were right along with them as they met, felt the attraction and fell in love. Yes, they had some obstacles to overcome, and yet even the drama did not feel overdone at all. It added to the story as opposed to taking away or overpowering the emotional aspect. It was an emotional engaging read that I loved. I can even overlook the oft used (and very much disliked by me) use of the evil ex wife. Cam was a great hero, and brilliant Dad, and hard working, who despite himself fell for Paige. But he had his own vulnerabilities and past to overcome. And Paige, she knew what she wanted and needed, and would not compromise on that. This author is quickly becoming an auto buy for me.
