Best laid plans are going to get wrecked when a reclusive football star is forced to live with the snarky nanny for his six year old nephew.

Wrecking Ball

** spoiler alert **
           ¿Fue una adicción? Pues, sí. ¿Es bastante cliché? Oh, por supuesto. ¿Me gustó? No estoy muy segura.

A ver, este libro tiene todos los clichés y dramas para que fuera entretenida en su mayor parte.

Creo que lo único que no voy a perdonar es que Cal haya dejado en claro que NO quería hijos, ni hoy ni nunca, y no porque tuviera problemas de compromiso, sino que el man había criado a sus hermanos (porque sus padres tenían bebés como conejos) y él no estaba dispuesto a pasar por eso.

Por otra parte, entiendo que Cam ya no estuviera dispuesta a olvidar sus necesidades o deseos y ponerlas en otro plano para satisfacer las de los demás. Es totalmente válido eso.

¿Cuál era la necesidad de hacer un romance entre esos dos cuando tienen diferentes planes de vida? Calvin no está muy interesado en las relaciones ni mucho menos en los niños, mientras que Cam desea una familia a toda costa. 

Siento que en vez de un embarazo sorpresa (y milagroso además porque Calvin se había hecho una vasectomía), hubiera quedado mejor que en un futuro, Cam y Calvin hubieran adoptado a un niño. Me sonaba más “realista” eso, a darles un montón de hijos (que él ni quería) en el epílogo.

Mención honorífica a Amber y a Ethan, porque fueron los mejores personajes de esta historia y claramente me voy a tener que leer su libro (que espero que me gusta más que este)

★Review★

You know when you are reading a book, then you finish it, and wish you had not read it at all to begin with, JUST so you can go back and read it all brand new for the very first time again!

 

Well that was this book. As I was reading it, I was loving it and loving moving on in the story, but at the same time, looking at my kindle, and thinking "ok, I am 40% through, I still have 60% of good book to go"........or "right, I am 70% though, that is still 30% of book left, 30 is a lot"

That was this book.

We all know, grumpy, sulky mean guys, yet hiding a secret pain are my faves!! Especially when they have no issue with stripping down!

It was a slow burn, from dislike to friendship to love, and it just worked so so beautifully.

I loved the heroine, she was a strong character and stood up for herself. Adored her best friend, hope she gets a book. 

And the hero, as i said above, I love a grumpy hero and watching the big lumbering grumps fall in love.

For the story itself between the main characters, it was better than 5 stars. It was well paced and heartwarming and beautiful to read.

However, overall, a couple of little things just stopped it shy of 5 stars overall. The situation with the nephew - to start it felt like it was being strongly implied he came from a rather abusive background, the heroine falls in love with the kid, and yet, his mom comes back, and despite how the hero has talked about her, or to her on the phone, or even how he was with the nephew to begin, they apparently have a really strong loving sisterly/brotherly bond. It just jarred a bit, given how it had been up till then. And once they are gone, pretty much no mention is made of the kid again despite the heroine apparently having loved him so much. And overall the ending felt rushed.

However, this is a book I can see re reading again and again, and of you are a fan of slow burns, then it is one of the better ones!!


21/09/2017 - re read before reading book 2. Love Cal just as much if not more!
