“In your dreams, Baby Hall.”

Older. Hotter. And way out of my league, Hannah Prescott has been my obsession since the moment she uttered those five simple words.

She thinks she’ll deter me by her dismissive attitude but her words only spur me on. I love a challenge and since Hannah is my literal dream girl, she’s worth putting in a bit of work.

Up until now everything in my life has come easy: hockey, women, friendships. Then Noah Harrison is traded to our team and my spot on the first line with my best friends is at risk. Suddenly Hannah is wearing his jersey and I realize I’ve got to act fast or risk losing my shot forever.

Fortunately for me, dreams do come true because though she only offers me one night, fate has other plans. She may have said she’ll never call me Daddy Hall, but the positive pregnancy test in her hand makes that impossible.

With my every dream within reach, I need to find a way to prove to Hannah that she’s the one for me and I’m so much more than a playboy.

It’s not often that I cry in the first 10% of a sports romance, but I can’t put anything past Brittanee Nicole at this point. I was laughing on the literal first page, which was on par for this series, but the tearrrrrs. 😭

Daniel Hall. 😭😭❤️‍🩹 Sweet sweet, baby Hall. I can’t imagine reading this story without the dual POV, because Daniel’s POV *wrecked* me. Have I read an MMC with a heart of pure gold like this one? Absolutely not. Prepare to swoon.

Hannah’s character was just as lovable. She’s so strong and resilient and total personality goals.

Hannah and Daniel have all the chemistry you could hope for, and she made him work for it. Boy did he come through. 🔥 And the MOUTHS on both of these characters.. phewww. I know a lot of us are looking for a dirty mouthed MMC, but Hannah knows how to dish it out just as much and it was HOT. And don’t get me started on the baseball field scene, that blew my mind. 🤣🥵

The story was beautifully written, easy to get sucked into from the first page, and I couldn’t put it down.

I adored the Beckett and other Langfield brothers cameos. If you’ve read Brittanee’s other books, you’re in for a treat. Always love Beckett’s meddling. 😆😆 The side characters are always so lovable and she leaves you wanting more and waiting for the next love story she left Easter eggs about in the book.

Highly recommend! Don’t miss out!!
Thank you to Brittanee Nicole and Luna Literary Management for this ARC! Such a sweet treat! ❤️

RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
SPICE: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

I know we called him Baby Hall for a while, but shut the front door because DADDY HALL is home and he stole my damn heart. Whew boy, I knew I was going to love Daniel Hall but this man said, “I can be even BETTER than you imagined.” And he was right.

All the stars in the world for this book. It absolutely wrecked me, put me back together and made me a puddle on the floor.

Also Brittanee needs to make this book come with a warning because there is one scene (yes that scene) where you shouldn’t be reading it in public because you won’t be able to contain your cackling.

✨ Hockey Romance
✨ Age Gap (she’s older)
✨ Accidental Pregnancy
✨ Teammate’s Sister
✨ Boy Obsessed
✨ Pierced Hero

Playboy and Hannah might just be my favorite couple yet. The age gap, the he fall first, the accidental pregnancy… every single trope hit so hard in this book. Daniel has been OBSESSED with Hannah for years, and when a one night stand results in an accidental pregnancy… he has no hesitation whatsoever in locking his Dream girl down.

I loved every second of this book, from first word until last, and for someone who isn’t big on the accidental pregnant trope, this was one of the best ones I have ever read.

I will never doubt Brittanee’s ability to make me fall in love with every single thing she writes.

This was a SOLID 4.5 stars for me! I read the Revenge Games series and have been meaning to dive back into this world. Reading this was motivation for me to so do! Brittanee does SUCH a good job of texting banter and having that found family between all of these characters. Now that we are closer to the end of the series, it was fun to see that banter translate to the men and their NOW women. I have been looking forward to Daniel's book since he was introduced in Pucking Revenge. I do love a good reformed playboy. It is just so entertaining and fun for that guy to get knocked out for the right woman, and then to see him convince the woman that they are in it for the long haul. I liked the added bonus of the woman of his dreams being his sister's best friend Hannah. I liked the one night stand turned to unexpected pregnancy, and that even though Hannah kept saying this was a one time thing it turned into more fast. Daniel was a BOY OBSESSED YALL!! Being their for her doc appointments. Trying to pull out all the stops and failing but being so cute doing it. It was adorable watching him try to convince Hannah how into her and this future he was. And then watching her finally realize it and roll with it was great! Their chemistry was wonderful. Our girl Brittanee can write an incredible spicy scene yall :)

Hannah knows that her best friend's brother has a crush on her. But she also knows that IF anything happened between them it would only be one time. He is the definition of a playboy and she isn't ready for anything serious. But then he surprises her when they all go on a trip together. He wines and dines her. He tries to get to know her. And they have one night together and it is NOT what she was hoping for. Fast forward a month and she thinks she is pregnant. She realizes there is something drawing her to Daniel. She can't help it. When she tells him he doesn't freak out, he asks how SHE is doing. He comes to get the test with her. He just HOLDS her that night. Who is this guy and where is the playboy she has heard nothing about? This can't be real right? He will freak out tomorrow. But then he keeps showing up. He keeps trying. He says he wants this to be real between them and that this future is beyond anything he could have imagined. Oh and did she mention that after she told him that one night was sub par for her that he has SERIOUSLY changed his ways. He focuses on her first no matter what. He can keep up with her pregnant hormones. He is making her realize everything he has been saying about them might just be true. And she just needs to let go and trust it as well. Because he makes her more excited about the future and all of the possibilities.

Daniel has been known as the playboy of the team for a while. And that was fine. But if Hannah Prescott, his sister's best friend, ever gave him a chance that life would be over end stop. He wants a chance so bad, but she always brushes him off. Until they are all on a trip together and she is liking his energy. He takes her out. He wines and dines her and then she does the unthinkable. She gives him the night he has always dreamed of. But it doesn't go at all how he wants, and then she basically ghosts him. He doesn't know how to act. Did he blow his only chance? But then the greatest thing happens, she gives him another one while simultaneously telling him she might be pregnant. Like with his baby. So he decides right then and there that he is going to do everything he can to show Hannah how much he wants. How serious he is about them. But she is hung up on his old lifestyle. She is fine having fun in the bedroom, but he doesn't know how to act outside of that. He doesn't want to scare her away. So he shows up. He supports her. He treats her like the queen she is to him. He throws out all the stops while kind of letting her lead. And finally she starts to see that he is being truthful in his feelings. He hasn't thought about another woman in a long time and in all honesty he can't think about one besides the mother of his child Hannah. Will she finally let him all the way in and start planning the future he has mapped out?

I love Brittanee's writing. She makes me feel like I am best friends with all of these people. I loved that this was a true standalone BUT you got glimpses of other people's stories. I didn't feel like I had missed anything but not reading them in order and at the same time am very excited about the rest of these books. I felt for Hannah man. The way her mom treated her and helped shape how she thinks of relationships was so awful. It makes you think about how much we really truly shape our kids lives with our example. Daniel was a man determined to make this woman see what he had planned for her. I loved how willing he was to do anything she wanted. And how much he kept surprising her in the best ways! I definitely recommend this one and this series if you haven't started it yet. Also anyone else pumped about Beauty?! I loved those teasers- can't wait to read more.

Thank you to Luna Literary and Brittanee for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I am literally obsessed with anything that Brittanee writes and devoured this book! Like stayed up until midnight accidentally reading the first 75% without even realizing good! We’ve seen glimpses of baby Hall in the previous books, but he is literally so swoon worthy that I couldn’t handle it! He is the opposite of what Hannah thought he was like and I’m 200% here for it!

Also after learning this was going to be an accidental pregnancy book, I was FERAL waiting for it. I have been eating this trope up recently and I loved this so much! The tension and chemistry between Daniel & Hannah is INSANE and that hot tub scene had me loving the spice from the start!

Also I can’t get enough of all our favorite side characters as well. I literally love the entire world that Brittanee has created for us and love all the glitter too!

The audio for this was so good that I didn't want to stop listening! Narrated by Vanessa Edwin and Sean Masters - they both absolutely crushed bringing this story to life!

What to expect:
-Accidental pregnancy
-Reverse age gap
-Reformed playboy
-He falls first
-Hockey player MMC
-Pierced MMC
-Found family

Thank you so much to Brittanee Nicole for letting me read and review an ARC in exchange for my honest opinions!

Surprise Pregnancy

Baby Hall and Hannah (Calliope) get their love story. If you've read any of the previous series,you all know Daniel has been obsessed with Hannah for a while and she has always pushed him away, but after one night and a surprise pregnancy, she decides to give him a shot and not does he step up and show her how in this he really is.
As per the norm for the Bolts boys and gals, the banter is epic and the funny scenes had me crying with laughter. I can't recommend this series enough!

I need more stars because 5 is not nearly enough!!! Infinity stars without question. I was totally unprepared for the goodness that was Daniel Hall.

I ate this story right up. I love Hannah as an FMC. She is freaking hilarious and so true to herself. She is wild at heart yet mature enough to look within herself to see where she can better herself. My heart broke for her so many times.

Daniel. Sweet Daddy Hall. The way he truly saw Hannah for who she was. The way he loved her, and cared for her and because someone she could depend on and trust. The way he chose her over and over without question. Ugh, I just can’t even love him more.

The chemistry was absolute fire and their open communication was truly refreshing. I have zero notes. Absolutely loved everything about this book.

This book was amazing, I absolutely adored Daniel and Hannah! Their dynamic was playful and sweet, and their banter had me hooked from the start. Daniel has always seen Hannah as his dream girl, and even when she turns him down, he doesn’t give up. He’s patient, persistent, and full of charm. When Hannah finally agrees to one night with him, neither of them expects it to lead to a positive pregnancy test. Suddenly, they have to navigate what this unexpected twist means for their relationship and their future. I loved how Daniel stepped up without hesitation, always focused on making Hannah feel supported and cared for. Their story is full of heart, and you won’t want to miss it!

Thank you, Brittannée Nicole for the ARC.

ARC REVIEW
This book deserves a standing ovation. It was so beautifully and comically written that i found myself lost in this book, never wanting to leave. ‘Playboy’ is my far my favorite book out of the entire Boston Bolts hockey series.

When i started this book i immediately had the five star tingle and with every flip of a page it solidified that- it became clear to me that whatever happened in this book it wouldn’t change my rating and by the end of the book it was still a five star read for me.

The accidental pregnancy trope was done so well, pair in the fact that the chemistry between the main characters were unmatched? This book was literal heaven.

The found family trope in this entire universe pulled at my heart with every single book, with every single page and with every single word. And i adore all the couples mentioned in this book and the previous ones- i can’t wait for you to meet this characters !!!

This is a must read

Brittanée Nicole writes some of the best mmcs in the game. Playboy is now one of my favorites from Brittanée. Accidental pregnancy isn’t usually my jam but I loved this spin on it. It was heartfelt and so sweet and I was truly captivated by Hannah and Daniel’s story.

Sweet sweet Daniel was the perfect reformed playboy mmc & he just had a heart of gold. He’s pined after the hot older woman for a lonnggg time and their banter was hilarious. Daniel is very persistent that’s for sure.

Hannah’s character was tenacious and independent but had some serious trust issues. I wanted to shake some sense into her about half way through the book because I was already head over heels in love with Playboy but she was still trying to find her way. But our girl gets the memo.

All it took was one night for things to change between them. Baby Hall was just what Hannah needed tho. He just kept showing up for her and I loved being able to see Hannah open up to the idea of forever with someone.

This book made my heart so full. I loved watching Hannah and Daniel grow together and find trust in each other during life changing experience. It was truly so sweet and one of my favorites in the series.

If you haven’t read this series yet, I highly encourage you to do so. The banter is next level, the spice is out of this world and you will find mmcs that are absolutely feral for their women/partner.😉

Thank you Brittanée Nicole and Luna Literary Management for the opportunity to read and review this advanced copy.

Another book in the Boston Bolts hockey series, this one is about Hannah, publicist for a minor league baseball team owned by the same family as the Bolts, and Daniel, notorious playboy with a soft underbelly. Hannah’s slightly older than Daniel and a commitment-phobe, largely due to her mother’s serial monagam-ish history. She’s also been blogging under a pseudonym, and her impressions of local athletes are colored by her inside scoops, especially where Daniel is concerned.

Suffering from imposter syndrome and feeling a bit of an outsider on his team, Daniel at the outset of the book decides to get a particularly delicate part of his anatomy pierced to match that of his teammates (it’s an ongoing bit in this series, fyi, and the way the subject is brought up and discussed repeatedly throughout is certainly an editorial choice). The fact that Hannah’s former stepbrother is picked up by the team adds to his anxiety and self-doubt, factoring into his actions on and off the ice.

After being salty toward Daniel, a wild night with Hannah leads to a lifetime of consequence, and Daniel must convince her despite his playboy past he’s all in with her and the aftermath of their dalliance.

This wasn’t my favorite of the series by far, but I do love that she’s older than him. I wish there was more of an exploration of the toxic relationship with Hannah’s mother; the length of this book certainly could’ve merited it. Three and half stars rounded to four.

I received an advance reader copy from The Author Agency, and I’m sharing my honest impressions.

Another good and steamy hockey romance 🤭 and as you may know, I’m such a sucker for them lol. The banter between the main characters and the found family you get with all the other characters from previous books are golden!

Daniel is such a loverboy!! Even tho he is a great flirt, the determination he shows to win Hannah over? And how patient and understanding he is? SWOON! 🥹

Hannah is also a super cool chick in my opinion and I loved how she just were herself, no apologies about it.

Must add that I thought the book was well written and I would definitely read other books from the author!

I guess I just want it to focus more on the relationship between Daniel and Hannah and how they navigate this pregnancy, rather than on their interactions with two dozen different side characters. At times, it feels more like a basket of Easter eggs from the previous seven books than a story about two people.

This one started off pretty strong. The characters were a good mix of funny and sweet and you could tell that they cared for each other and I loved that he didn’t give up on her. There wasn’t a third act breakup so that was wonderful and the third act tension was handled so maturely. Every author should take notes. This was part of a series which also interconnects with all her other series so keeping all the characters straight was a bit confusing and I just didn’t try hard to connect the family tree my brain and kept it at face value so because if I did try my brain would have exploded. I appreciated Hannah’s slew of father figures but I wish things with her mom were explored a bit more. It was like we got told that her mom sucked and saw that she repeatedly didn’t show up, but then nothing was really resolved or explored in depth. The story line was set up but then not followed through. It also got really heavy on the smut which has its pros and cons lol. Anyways, it pretty much lived up to my expectations so no disappointment here

review: I loved Daniel and Hannah book .


Hannah and Daniel finally hook up


and Daniel read that sex column that he likes, and Hannah writes it

and it's talking about a disappointment in bed, and it's about him cause he cried during it .


Hannah thinks she's pregnant and tells Daniel, and they are pregnant.


I don't usually like pregnancy stories, but I loved this

Daniel is the sweetest man, and Hannah deserves it .


I also loved the new character Noah. I'm excited for him and Sienna's story.


Hannah ends up quitting her job she wants to be a full-time writer


Daniel puts on a book signing for her, and I cried cause it was so sweet


Hannah goes into labor during the Bolts game.



they get engaged

and then they get married at the court house. Beckett officiated, of course.

ARC 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:

I have to be really honest. This one wasn’t my favorite.

To be fair, the reason has to be that I didn’t feel the connection with the MCs. I liked them enough sure, but they weren’t spectacular or mind blowing to me like the previous books I’ve read by Brittanee (and I’ve read them all).

I just feel like the moments that should’ve been funny - like the pie - fell so flat for me. Hannah being snarky or sarcastic - just felt forced. I liked Hannah don’t get me wrong, but it all felt very just forced.

I felt like Daniel and Hannah truly didn’t know one another - sure they had a lot of 🌶️ times but were there any moments that were truly inspiring? Not really, not to me. I just feel like Daniel could’ve had such Epic moments like the previous MMCs - but his just didnt feel like it to me.

And Hannah, her storyline just fell so flat to me. Like - there’s a missing story line with Hannah’s mom that never gets fleshed out - and none of that gets addressed really and idk I just don’t feel like this book lived up to my hopes and dreams for it.

That’s not to say others won’t love it - it just wasn’t the one for me.

It’s just that I expected more from those two, knowing them from previous books.

Sure, there was some fun banter, the found family vibe was vibing as great as always, but the whole romance fell kinda flat for me.

There wasn’t any particular tension, no angst, no epic moments… it was just there, right person at the right time.

There isn’t one significant, memorable moment that will stay with me and if you asked me what it was about, I already forgot.

The mmc gave me the ick he was too un realistic , the fmc had tooo many faults / reacted / did things I didn’t like , the spice was in places it just didnt need to be and felt like the whole couple friendships just spoke about spicy stuff the time, I really wanted to like this as I’ll admit it was so quick to read and other characters i was interested in but sadly just didn’t work for me.

Why would you write an entire book around the worst decision a person could possibly make? The fantasy is that this decision would turn out well but I cannot suspend disbelief.

Obsessed

🏒 Surprise Pregnancy

🏒 Golden Retriever x Black Cat
⚾ Pierced MMC
🏒 Dirty-Mouthed MCs (Yes! Both of them!)

Okay, I can’t believe I’m obsessed with an accidental pregnancy book. I almost skipped it because it features my least favorite trope (tied with secret baby), but I read it anyway since this series has never let me down. I missed the characters and knew there’d be cameos from the rest of the crew. I’m so glad I didn’t skip it.

There’s a way to do accidental pregnancy right—and this book nails it. I was genuinely surprised that Baby Hall was the one to pull it off! Honestly, I was just as shocked as Hannah.

The way Daniel was already obsessed with Hannah before their hookup was so sweet. He always referred to her as “Dream Girl,” and while that’s not my typical vibe for a nickname, it completely worked here. He’s patient with Hannah. He never pressures her into giving more than she wants (not that she would) or doing anything she doesn’t want to do (again, not that she would). She’s turned him down multiple times, and all he’s done is keep showing up. His persistence and patience aren’t what finally win her over for a one-night stand—it’s his natural charm. With Hannah, being himself is enough.

Hannah refers to herself as the ice queen. She’s not built for relationships. She doesn’t know how to give herself to someone because of her rough childhood. Her family dynamic is absolutely chaotic, but it’s also so incredibly sweet. The relationship she has with her dads (yes, plural...four of them, if I remember correctly) is the best. Her bond with all her siblings is equally strong. The fact that they built this amazing family unit for her made me swoon. I really hope we get more of them in future books.

Hannah and Baby Hall (or I guess now 𝒟𝒶𝒹𝒹𝓎 Hall) are a couple for the ages! Their first attempt at anything really didn’t go well—tears were shed (not by Hannah), and it was awkward, but also really sweet because Daniel was all up in his feelings. Luckily, he makes good on his do-over, and here we are.

Daniel was all in from the beginning, but Hannah needed more time and he gave it to her. He didn’t pressure her. He just kept showing up for her and the baby in ways Hannah didn’t even realize she needed or wanted. There’s no forced connection, no grand promises of forever, no third-act breakup. Just two people who are crazy about each other, honestly trying to navigate this new reality while dealing with their pasts and figuring out their futures.

They both come to realize that goals and dreams can change...and that’s okay. Just because they change doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It just means that what matters to you now isn’t the same as what once did. You don’t have to stop being wild just because you’re a parent.

Thank you, Brittanee and The Author Agency, for the ARC.

Playboy is everything I want in a romance—fun, flirty, full of heart, and oh-so-swoony. From the very first page, I was completely hooked, and by the end, I was clutching my chest, kicking my feet, and wondering how I was supposed to go on with life after finishing this book.

Let’s talk about Hannah Prescott—she was a total powerhouse. Confident, dominant, and unapologetically herself. I absolutely loved that she never settled for less than she deserved and held her ground even when her heart was on the line. She made Daniel work, and it was glorious to watch. The way she and Daniel navigated their differences and actually communicated like grown adults (what a concept!) had me cheering them on every step of the way. And watching her go from hesitant and guarded to fully embracing the love Daniel had for her? Heart. Melted.

And now—Daniel Hall. Sweet, flirty, completely gone for Hannah from the very start. He was playful and cocky in the most lovable way, but what truly made him stand out was how deeply and openly he cared. Every gesture, every word, every look screamed “this woman is my world.” He didn’t shy away from vulnerability or commitment—he chased it, full speed ahead. He was everything: the dreamer, the doer, the softie in a hockey jersey. And when that one-night-only turned into a forever kind of thing? My soul ascended. Daniel Hall isn’t just a book boyfriend. He’s the book boyfriend.

This world Brittanee Nicole has created feels like home. Every character, every story—pure magic. I fall harder with each book, and the thought of ever having to leave this universe? Devastating. Soul-crushing. I refuse.

Thank you to Brittanee and her team for the opportunity to read and review this ARC. I’ve been obsessed with your writing since the very first book I picked up. Every time I think, “There’s no way she can top this,” you prove me wrong in the best way. Again and again.

So happy to be back in the Boston Bolts world!! I missed them so much!

4 stars for this one, i literally devoured it, could not put it down. Brittanee’s writing never fails to hook me in from page one til the very end.

I really enjoyed the dynamic between these two, Daniel first comes across as a playboy in other books but seeing him be the safe to Hannah’s wild was SO sweet. They balanced each other out so much and I felt like he gave her perfectly what she was actually craving behind her facade, safety and security.
I love that they were just as crazy as each-other, even down to the spice they was just so on each others wave length with every single thing, it just felt like such a stress free, pure enjoyment book to read. Always a good time in this series though!! 🤭

That first spice scene, I was SO SAT I was like WOAH 🤚🙂‍↕️

Daniel was the sweetest ever!!! He was so down bad for his girl and wasn’t afraid to show it. He showed up for her every single day!! I love how as soon as she thought she was pregnant, he was immediately all in. There was no hesitation, he was so in 🥹🫶

Hannah’s past hurt my heart for her but im also so glad we got to see all of her brothers! I loved the little family they’d made between themselves. Was I sensing crumbs for an Ash book because the second chance, longing was in the room with us!!! Hannah’s author journey was so cool to read about.

Again, Hannah & Daniel together were so fun to read, the banter never stopped and they was so refreshing to read because they genuinely made each other soooo happy. It was the sweetest.

I am still absolutely obsessed with War & Ava, their crumbs were so needed. But, the NoahSienna crumbs!!! Back to counting the days because I need ‘Beauty’ rnnnn 🤭second chance?! it’s gonna be sooooo good.

Also, loved so much how Calliope’s articles foreshadowed the coming chapter, I thought this made the story so page turning!!


Ofc, Beckett has taken FULL accountability for the creation of this surprise pregnancy plot, you’ll fave to read to find out why lol. Beckett is so entertaining in every single book 😭.

Thank you SOOOOO much to Brittanee & her team for the ARC 🩵 the ultimate swoon worth book!

If you read War and thought “ Gosh I sure did swoon hard for this man.” Well ladies and gentlemen wait until you meet Baby Hall! I DID NOTHING BUT SWOON OVER THIS MAN AND I REGRET NOTHING!

Honestly I’m normally not a huge fan of anything related to the pregnancy trope but I knew Brittanee Nicole would not disappoint me! Hannah and Daniel were absolutely everything I needed and more! Hannah had me hooked from the first page with her hilarious attitude and also the fact that she just genuinely cared for everyone around her. I knew just from the glimpses of her in the other books that I’d absolutely love her! She absolutely kills it as an author (and also maybe as a writer of a certain hockey members fave love column 😉) and I just loved watching her character grow throughout the book!

Daniel has definitely made his way to the top of my book boyfriend’s list! The way he was obsessed with Hannah from the second he saw her (I mean he calls her “Dream Girl” COME ON) had me loving him from the start! This man is just a walking green flag and I’m absolutely here for it!

The banter and the spice with these two was just absolutely chefs kiss but I just will never get over how their love story evolved into something so amazing!

Of course getting to see the rest of the gang is always fantastic and getting to know Noah more before his book was great as well. I just know his book is going to be great but will he be able to beat Baby Hall in the swoon department? I guess we will just have to wait and see!

Thanks so much to Brittanee Nicole for this ARC!

ARC review

Baby Hall had a tough act to follow after War (Tyler Warren will forever be in my book husband hall of fame) but damnnnnnn did Daniel deliver!!

Daniel has been lusting after Hannah from the moment he met her but now he is finally making the moves to secure some time with his dream girl. After a fateful night that included a hot tub and Arizona, Hannah finds herself looking at several tests showing she is pregnant. Now it’s Daniel’s time to shine to show her that she should take a chance on him, but can Hannah let down her walls and let him love her.

Daddy Hall, you sweet beautiful man!!! He was all in from the moment she said yes to the date and he never faltered the whole book. The way he loved Hannah and worshipped the ground she walked on was so swoony, he gave me butterflies every time he spoke. 5 stars for Daniel all on his own!!!

Hannah was certainly a tough one to crack! She has a lot of barriers and snark that Daniel showed up to and raised above every time. It was nice to see her soften along the way though and really let’s Daniel in to take care of her. I really wish we got to see more of her relationship with her mother as it feels like this had such a huge role in the way she carries herself in the world but we only got a tiny glimpse.

Daddy Hall - I love you.

Oh sweet, sweet Baby Hall.. I really enjoyed this! 4.5 ⭐️
I listened to the audio and thought that both performances were really good. I especially loved Vanessa Edwin; her voice is just so lovely and sweet (and also sounds amazing still on 2.2 speed!)

Hannah is Daniel's 'Dream Girl' - has been for a while and when a one night stand results in an accidental pregnancy.. sweet Baby Hall sees this as the perfect opportunity to make his girl fall in love. OMG talk about a man obsessed. He was attentive AF and I just really loved them together. There was no pressure from him, he was just genuinely wanting to spend time with Hannah and be there for her. They built such amazing trust between each other. I LOVED HER. She was so upfront and confident and I really loved how she let Daniel take care of her. Their banter was fabulous, too.

Ugh, I just genuinely loved everything about these two and this book. This universe is immaculate, the found family vibes are strong. The spice is always out of this world, too. This is probably one of my favs from this series now! Oh and side note, I do always worry about the pacing of pregnancy books but I thought this one was done really well.

How do these boys get better and better? I though Brittanée did an awesome job with War, but my God, is Daniel everything!

I thought I was going into this book reading about the playboy we know Daniel Hall to be, but boy was I wrong and I’m so glad I was.

His patience and love towards Hannah from page 1 was everything! The way he made her feel, and how he helped her trust in herself and believe she could really be happy is something else.

Hannah didn’t have that many examples growing up, so trusting men has been difficult for her. But the way she managed to gradually get to know Daniel and slowly fall for him is truly a joy.

I want to thank Brittanée Nicole and Luna Literary for the arc. All opinions are my own.
