I liked that this series， linked from the previous， starts with the coach and not a player。 There is uncertainty， panic， hotness and a sulky teenager to contend with。 This is a hard fought， and thanks to the epilogues， ongoing process of building trust。 I loved that it wasn't an instalove HEA。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 I liked that this series， linked from the previous， starts with the coach and not a player。 There is uncertainty， panic， hotness and a sulky teenager to contend with。 This is a hard fought， and thanks to the epilogues， ongoing process of building trust。 I loved that it wasn't an instalove HEA。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

This is a well written book with strong characters and an entertaining storyline。 A one night stand turns into so much more。 The author does a great job building the story and kept me glued to the pages right to the end。 Darren and Willa have many obstacles to overcome in order to get to their HEA。 The story moves fluidly with the perfectly painted scenes and is a wonderful addition to the series。I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book。 All opinions in this review are my own and freely given。

4。5 out of 5 stars So， it all started with a one-night stand that turned into an everyday-night stand （wait， does that term exists？ I don't know）。 I admit it's actually awkward at first since Willa is his daughter's teacher， and well when they meet again， it's actually not a very good time。 Then， they did it again and again。 I was nervous as I read it because， hello？ I don't know if someone will catch them or what。 Then， there's the news of Willa being pregnant。 I don't know how that happened， 4。5 out of 5 stars So， it all started with a one-night stand that turned into an everyday-night stand （wait， does that term exists？ I don't know）。 I admit it's actually awkward at first since Willa is his daughter's teacher， and well when they meet again， it's actually not a very good time。 Then， they did it again and again。 I was nervous as I read it because， hello？ I don't know if someone will catch them or what。 Then， there's the news of Willa being pregnant。 I don't know how that happened， I mean I'm pretty sure they did use condoms but。。。 Accidents happen， don't they？ Of course， that news shocked Willa's world。 She's a woman with dreams that she wants to achieve and well， being pregnant is kind of not in her plan。They really didn't have the exact easy path towards their HEA。 They have different plans， and it's not aligned with each other。 Let's also add the fact that they're both stubborn and Willa's hormones just make it even harder。 Additionally， there's the thing with Lulu。 Her character makes sense in the story - the way she acts and well， all about her。 I really love how her character developed throughout the story。The reason I didn't give a whole 5 stars for this， even though I really loved it， is because there are some things missing， or at least there are scenes that would make the story even nicer。 For example， the relationship between Lulu and Willa。 I just think that was rushed。 I would've loved to see them bond and how their relationship progressed through the story。 But all in all， I really love it。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more
