This one is so freaking good and I’m head-over-heels in love with it! The meet cute is charming and unique. Enya Calloway falls in the rain outside the Curmudgeon Bakery and Sebastian Sylver steps outside and rescues her. This leads to a lemon baby Bundt cake, her blurting out that she's pregnant, and Enya's walking away.
Months later, Enya is back in Sterling Falls and stops by the bakery for her biggest pregnancy craving, those lemon Bundt cakes. Before she can partake, she goes into labor, and it’s a quick one. So quick, Sebastian ends up delivering baby Adara. The only problem? He's feeling very protective of both his girls and can’t seem to stay away.
Why would he stay away? Sebastian is the town troublemaker who has spent time in jail. Due to his parents' example, he doesn’t believe in love and doesn’t think he'll ever have a family of his own. Because of his past, he believes he's not worthy of Enya and Adara. But his heart has other ideas and when danger comes, he fears his past has caught up with him, putting his girls at risk.
Holy wow, there is so much to love about this one! The small-town setting is warm and inviting, and the secondary characters are vivid and colorful so you either love them or hate them. Sebastian's siblings are all-around amazing and solidly there for each other.
Seeing this big, tough, closed-off guy be vulnerable and show his marshmallow heart is everything. And him with baby Adara? SWOON!! It's humorous, heartfelt, evocative, tender, smexy, and one of my very favorite reads this year. Nail-biting suspense and jaw-dropping twists combined with a beautiful, enchanting, soul-mate romance makes this a masterful, unforgettable read that you absolutely won’t want to miss!

Perfect Slow Burn
This book brings the heat to a slow burn in form of ember flames, it’s a roller coaster of emotions coming from both MC’s. Enya is all tenderness and open, while Sebastian is all toughness and closed off.The life changing moments two strangers share make them come together, the connection makes it difficult to stay apart and the feeling of family that neither have ever had. But their past might come back and pull them apart.I love when the FMC knows what she wants and fights so hard to get it, and thats what Enya does; her love and certainty for Sebastian and her daughter is so strong that she breaks all his walls down, and we get to experience that alongside them.Of course the MMC delivers on his reformed bad boy ways with his dirty thoughts and need for his girl, and his tenderness develops with his shared moments with the baby.Wonderful story, that teaches us how trust, honesty, gratefulness and consideration for each other makes a couple’s bond strong and healthy.
