Move Me
Everyone knows my criminal past. It’s why Hazel Spencer hates me.
Might also be why she tore off my clothes and climbed me like a tree.
Hey, no judgment. I still can’t forget how she melted in my arms.
Turns out Hazel can’t forget, either, but for different reasons.
Our mind-blowing bang in her mansion’s foyer
left our small town’s famed ice queen knocked up.
It’s a shock to us both, but the truth?
There are worse things having a baby with a smart, sexy woman I like.
A woman who zings from “come hither” to “get lost” so fast my head spins.
Can’t really blame her. Hazel’s dad messed her up good.
The prick earned his own prison jumpsuit and the ire of the Spencer-King family.
And family matters to Hazel.
It’s how I know she’ll be a great mom.
And I’m hellbent to prove I’m daddy material.
A guy who can handle crib building fiascos and baby announcements gone comically bad.
A guy who can make Hazel roar with unladylike laughter.
Someone who sees that behind Hazel’s cool front, she’s secretly tender.
I just need her to trust I can give her the family she’s wished for.
If she’ll only let go of my not-so-hot past.
One-click this hilarious enemies-to-lovers romance about a fling that forever links two complete opposites who might just make the perfect family.

Move Me is the sixth, and final, book in the Cherry Blossom Lake series where we get to know Cousin Hazel better as she indulges in one night of bad decisions that will lead to a lifetime of love and happiness with the least likely suspect.
Hazel Spencer is the cousin to the Spencer-King siblings. Her father, Owen is doing time in prison for stealing from the cousins. It was Hazel who found the evidence to put him away, and she is the one who turned him in.
Luke is a transplant to Cherry Blossom Lake. He originally started in the Juniper Ridge series, set in central Oregon. He jumped at the chance to move to the coastal town to start a new life. He had done time in prison previously and just needed a new start where people did not know what happened and did not judge him instantly. He is also the brother to the Juniper Ridge sheriff, Amy Lovelin-Judson. She has been his biggest supporter and with her husband, Cooper's, help, Luke was able to relocate, get a respectable job and make a new life.
When Hazel spots Luke in front of the gate to her home, bent over and working on it, she assumes he ran into it. She assumes the worst of him, but he is not having that. He politely informs her who ran into the gate and how it happened. After fixing the problem, she invites him in to wash up, since he is muddy from the rain mixing with the dirt. Let the fireworks begin.
Nearly four months later, Hazel is cringing as she reads the test results. And not the first or second set of test results. How could this be? It is not possible, is it?
Keeping things a secret in a small town is downright impossible. Best to meet with Luke and let him know what is going on. But holy cow, could it be any more sterile than the method she uses?
Instead, they come to a compromise. But it is not to Luke's advantage in any way, shape or form. He is having to pretty much give up everything he has been working on since he was released from prison. But he is not able to tell Hazel about it, due to an ironclad Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
So when he violates his agreement with Hazel, Luke must beg for forgiveness and a second chance. Lucky for him, she grants it. But there will not be a third chance.
Meanwhile, Hazel has kept secrets from everyone. Her family and Luke.
When she decides to host family dinner, Hazel is mortified that she forget to plug in the crockpot. Now what is she going to do? Call Luke, of course. Yes he bails her out. And around the dinner table the conversation takes a turn that no one attending ever expected. It is cryptic and thoroughly entertaining to us, the readers, who know what is really going on.
But when Hazel breaks Luke's heart, it will be her cousin who materializes out of nowhere and explains the circumstances. Then he leaves her with one question for her to think about and answer honestly.
Hazel has a hard time trusting people. She has a hard time letting people in. She has recently been reunited with her cousins after years of separation. Separation she caused, but still separation. She is an only child with an absentee mother and her father in prison due to her actions.
So when she hooks up with Luke, an ex-con, she is not able to fully trust him or let him in. Slowly, he breaks down her defenses, but she believes he breaks her trust with some of his actions.
This book contains some hard times, heartbreak, joy, love and pure, unadulterated laughter. My God, that family dinner still makes me laugh out loud just thinking about it.
Enjoy the fun in this book and if you are like me, you need to know more about what Noah Spencer-King is up to. Hopefully we will not have to wait long.

MOVE ME is the sixth and final instalment in Tawna Fenske’s contemporary, adult CHERRY BLOSSOM LAKE erotic, romance series. This is construction foreman Luke Lovelin, and thirty-four year old Hazel Spencer’s story line. MOVE ME can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual first person perspectives ( Luke and Hazel) MOVE ME focuses in the aftermath of a one-night stand between our story line couple. Luke Lovelin has a tarnished past, one of which Hazel Spencer likes to remind the man with whom she will fall in love but a one -night together ends with an unplanned pregnancy, and Hazel is determined to raise the child alone in the face of Luke’s past and reputation. Luke is a man who wants to be part of his child’s life but Hazel will lay down the law. With her own father in prison, and Luke’s father’s whereabouts unknown, Hazel wants to ensure their child will never be alone.
The world building is detailed and focuses on secrets and forgiveness but Luke has signed an NDA with someone from his past, and Hazel is struggling to trust the man with whom she will fall in love.
The relationship between Luke and Hazel begins as a one-night stand but three months later Luke is about to discover the determination of a woman who struggles to trust. Doing everything he can to support our story line heroine, Luke finds himself on the outside looking in when a side-job threatens his future with our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and determined secondary and supporting characters, most of whom we met in the previous story lines. We are introduced to Hazel’s parents, as well as her cousin Noah Spencer-King, whose story begins in the spin-off series The Jailbirds.
MOVE ME is a story of secrets and lies, family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is captivating and entertaining; the romance is seductive; the characters are dynamic and charismatic.

Move Me is the sixth and final installment of Tawna Fenske’s sexy, emotional, often hilarious, and always delightful Cherry Blossom Lake series, but can also be read as a stand-alone. However, spending time in Oregon with the Spencer-King clan is so enjoyable, I strongly suggest reading the entire series!
While the other books in the series each focused on one of the Spencer-King adult children, Move Me is the enemies-to-lovers and opposites attract story of their cousin, Hazel Spencer, and ex-con Luke Lovelin (whose sister, Amy, is featured in the equally wonderful Juniper Ridge series). Hazel, who is the perfectionism obsessed CEO of Spencer Holdings, has appeared in the other books and often came across as snobbish and mistrustful (for good reason, it turns out, so one of my favorite parts about Move Me was getting to know her better—warts and all). Ms. Fenske is so good at character development and growth, with heaping doses of compassion and humor, it was easy to embrace Hazel and Luke’s journey, which is told from a dual POV.
A steamy encounter between Hazel and Luke results in pregnancy. They’re not in a relationship, but both want what’s best for the babies (yes, twins) and settle on being platonic co-parents. At the same time, they’re both navigating their own sometimes messy lives. There’s lots of baggage to unpack, and Ms. Fenske handles issues like incarceration, trust (including abandonment), miscommunication, self-worth, forgiveness and second chances, and parental love with an empathetic and deft touch. Through it all, the Spencer-King siblings and their partners are there with love and laugh out loud humor (thanks, Harper!). Their top priority is being there for each other, and that includes Hazel and Luke, who finally get the love they both deserve.
I’ve been a fan of Ms. Fenske’s for over 10 years and loved how she wrapped up this series. I’m always a little sad when a series ends, but in the author’s notes, she teases about a new series featuring one of the lesser-known Spencer-King siblings, and I can’t wait for that!

Review of advance copy received from Author
I first discovered Tawna Fenske back in August 2015 when her book About That Fling was featured as a Kindle First pick, and I have been a fan ever since. From that very first read, I fell in love with her storytelling style. Her books are always fun, her humor consistently lands, and even the characters you are not sure about at first somehow manage to win you over by the end. Since then, I have made it a point to read everything I can get my hands on by Tawna, and she has yet to disappoint me.
After meeting Hazel in Try Me, I was so excited to finally get more of her story. In her earlier appearances, she was honestly a bit hard to read and came across as somewhat stuck up. As the series continued, though, it became clear that there was much more beneath the surface than just the wealthy cousin persona. Getting to see Hazel fully fleshed out in this book was incredibly satisfying, and I loved watching her layers slowly unfold.
I also adored Amy in the Juniper Ridge series, so getting to read about her brother was something I had been looking forward to. Luke’s story was handled so well, and I really enjoyed the way his journey developed. On top of that, it was such a treat to spend more time with another Spencer-King sibling. Noah was a character that we haven’t had a chance to get to know yet, and I loved getting to know him better here.
Once again, this book reminded me why Tawna Fenske is my favorite romantic comedy author. She has such a gift for balancing laugh-out-loud humor with heartfelt, meaningful moments that never feel forced. Even when heavier themes come into play, they feel organic to the story and the characters. This book was no exception, and it left me smiling from beginning to end. While I am sad to see the Cherry Blossom Lake series come to a close, I am thrilled that this is not the end of the Spencer-Kings. I cannot wait to see what comes next.

Love, family and babies
At the center of this accidental pregnancy, opposites attract small town romance, and the series itself, are the core values of family bonds and loyalty and I loved how those core beliefs played out here. The story had the perfect balance of snort worthy laughs, heartwarming love, real life issues, and heat up the room spice. With two characters who are a little wounded from their matching parental abandonment issues, an accidental pregnancy is the perfect springboard for finding love while dealing with their past scars. Hazel is the uber competent CEO of Spencer Holdings. She is all about perfection and self-reliance. Her beloved father is currently in jail for white collar crimes against their family and Hazel was the one who collected the evidence and turned him in. Luke is a construction foreman with Spencer Development. He is an ex-con who is all about family and helping others. Luke and Hazel had one spicy encounter that resulted in an unplanned pregnancy. When the test comes back positive, they agree to be platonic coparents. However, despite the platonic plan, their chemistry sizzled off the page and it pulled them together no matter how hard they tried to resist. To find their way to something more will involve a whole bunch of baggage unpacking and messy mistakes and beautiful character growth. I loved how Luke and Hazel’s relationship evolved moment by moment and interaction by interaction. It was a swoony heart squeezing journey for me as well as Luke and Hazel. I have a soft spot for the people who are a bit uncomfortable in their skin because they don’t feel like they fit in or are worthy, like Hazel and to a small extent Luke. So I love when they finally see their truth, recognize their worth, and they get big swoon worthy HEAs. This whole series has made my sappy romantic heart so happy and I am sorry to see it end.

Hazel lets her hormones take over from her brain one time and she gets more than a morning after O!
Hazel self-isolated herself from the rest of the family after her father stole from her cousins. They've mended the bridges but she feels that she must be super vigilant about rules, regulations and how things look. She doesn't want anyone to think she's like her dad, even though he was once her hero.
Luke is the grey sheep of his family. He did a stupid thing but got the sharp end of the stick when his rich buddy dropped him in it. He's served his time and is happy working construction for Hazel's company. He's as shocked as she is when they have an explosive night of adult fun. But when she ambushes him a few weeks later with contracts, NDA's and the like he's stunned but happy find out about the baby they made. He's got his own parental trauma to deal with and he's going to be a very hands-on parent, no matter what Hazel's initial plans may be.
The humour runs high along with the chemistry between these two. The baby/pregnancy puns flow thick and fast and that has to be the funniest botched pregnancy reveal ever. They real have to work at that communication - Hazel spins into the stratosphere at any hint of impropriety and Luke finds himself feeling a tad sensitive when every one keeps bring up his past - constantly. He's doing good things now, but Hazel can't know about some of the things he's doing - and that's going to lead to sparks!!!
It was great seeing all my favourite Spencer's again, some are getting married, some are reproducing or starting families one way or another, some are still deciding what their future looks like. I loved the way they took Luke into their family and just treated him like family from the get-go. Noah has a lot to answer for - that man causes such a kerfuffle!
A brilliant illustration of second chances, trauma recovery, dealing with absent parents, dealing with unexpected life plan changes. Earning trust can be just as hard as keeping that trust and Luke and Hazel both jump to conclusions a little too easy sometimes but they really do find their own rhythm.

There isn't much in Hazel Spencer's world that shakes her, she is always in control and always laser focused on the world around her... but one little unexpected misstep on her part is about to turn that carefully planned world of hers completely upside down!
The pages of Move Me hold a story about a woman who learns that sometimes you can't plan everything no matter how hard you try... sometimes unexpected surprises come along and you have to embrace them and see where they take you. Our heroine Hazel is a woman who prides herself on always being in control and always having a plan for everything in her life... but then she meets a man that doesn't necessarily fit into her plans, but is impossible to ignore. Luke Lovelin is not a man she should be associating with, with her social status to consider, but one night we wanders through her door and changes her life forever.
Now she finds herself expecting twins with a man she knows very little about, but secretly wants to. They come from different worlds and are about as opposite as two people can get, but something about them just works. They have a plan to parent their babies as platonic parents, but before long that plan hits a little snag... because the feelings they share for one another are far from platonic!
I loved watching these two find one another, while they maybe opposite and have preconceived notions about one another, there was something happening between them that couldn't be ignored. I loved seeing them grow with one another, learn to accept their differences and create a wonderful warm environment for their little family, it was so heartwarming... and funny at times too! Another wonderfully written, comedic, and heartfelt romance from Ms. Fenske!! I loved every minute of this one and I know if you give it a chance you will too! Highly recommend!

Possibly my favorite of the series? It's got some serious competition, so that's really waying something...maybe because it's the last one and has me all in my feelings...
(Author's note says that the last Spencer-King sibling, Noah, will have his own book in a new series which hopefully will come out soooooooon <3)
Honestly, I wasn't at all sure I even liked Hazel in her earliest appearances in her cousin's books--she was pretty prickly. She was here too, at times--life hasn't showed her that trusting people always worked out well for her. But she learned to trust her instincts by the book's end, and that included seeing her way out of the relationship black moment with a truly memorable grand gesture, so all's forgiven.
And Luke? No notes. Absolutely loved him from start to finish. I loved how quickly he embraced fatherhood and how hard he tried to keep his promises to Hazel--and how he owned up to it when he couldn't without breaking other promises he'd made. (I am beyond curious to find out what kind of program it is that Noah was having him do side jobs for. Did I mention I'm anxious for the new series yet?)
And of course, the star of the book--Squash. Proof that every single book doesn't have to have a dog in it to be awesome!
Move Me could be read as a standalone, but since family (found and otherwise) is such a strong theme here--not to mention they're all up in each other's business 110% of the time--the series is best appreciated when you read all of them, in order. You can thank me later.
Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
(Author's note says that the last Spencer-King sibling, Noah, will have his own book in a new series which hopefully will come out soooooooon <3)
Honestly, I wasn't at all sure I even liked Hazel in her earliest appearances in her cousin's books--she was pretty prickly. She was here too, at times--life hasn't showed her that trusting people always worked out well for her. But she learned to trust her instincts by the book's end, and that included seeing her way out of the relationship black moment with a truly memorable grand gesture, so all's forgiven.
And Luke? No notes. Absolutely loved him from start to finish. I loved how quickly he embraced fatherhood and how hard he tried to keep his promises to Hazel--and how he owned up to it when he couldn't without breaking other promises he'd made.

I can’t believe this is the last of the Cherry Blossom Lake series. Love these book with their laugh out load humor and excellent stories. You will never go wrong reading this author’s books. From the characters to the storyline, she tells great stories that will stay in your mind. This series follows the Spencer King Family and the troubles they have had with their uncle who has been attempting to steal their land away. All of these books can stand alone but why not start at the beginning. This is book 5 which is based on the Spencer King’s cousin, Hazel, who was the one to put her father in jail. Now she is running her father’s corporations while he is in jail. We meet Luke who works for Hazel and is currently fixing her broken fence that she mistakenly accuses him of hitting. There is a constant push and pull between this couple throughout the book that you question if they will even get together. They each have their own hang ups that is preventing them to take the leap with love. When a one time meeting has now left them holding a test with two positive lines, you find Luke wanting to be all in with Hazel not sure what to do. I loved how Luke went out of his way to show Hazel she could depend on him and all the sweet things he did for her and the baby to be. The names he was suggesting every time Hazel would say sorry had me laughing. Their banter was the best and I loved the ending!

Favorite Quotes:
“Look, maybe you could refrain from referring to me as the mother of your children.” “Sure, no prob.” He’s quiet a moment as we stride toward the entrance. “You prefer babymama?” “Absolutely not.” “Bio- mom?” “What? No. That sounds like hazardous waste.”
“I’m assuming you’re not a fan of me calling you the glorious maiden swelling with the fruit of my loins?” I try not to dignify that with a response, but an unladylike snort slips out. Luke takes the cue to keep going. “Birthgiver sounds kinda alien to me, but I’m good with it if you are.” “I’m not.”
Good and bad are rarely black and white. Shades of gray make up much of our moral code. Sometimes a lie is a kindness. Honorable, even.
My Review:
Going in, I didn’t think I was going to care for Hazel as she had been such an icy snob in the previous installments, but this clever wordsmith is far too nice to leave someone out in the cold and soon made me a believer that Hazel was worth the effort. As an additional concern, I’m not a fan of pregnancy tropes, as in not at all, but I didn’t mind this one as the witty humor and budding romance of opposites took center stage in the storylines, and I trust this author to turn out a golden top-shelf tale with delectable steamy bits and minimal angst. She hasn’t failed me yet!

I was so glad to return to Cherry Blossom Lake! This book can be read as a standalone, although it’s enhanced by reading earlier books in the series. Hazel’s Dad is in prison (“Try Me” and “Charm Me”), so she’s running the family business. Luke is a construction foreman for that business, with his own complicated background. After an unexpected, spontaneous hookup, these characters are faced with a surprise pregnancy. Hazel and Luke have to deal with a lot (including negative perceptions about the other person) before this couple can become a perfect match. Their story has lots of character growth, along with some humor and their growing romance. I considered downgrading a star since Hazel’s double standard excused her own contacts with her criminal father while she was judging Luke harshly. Luke’s mysterious side-job also left some open questions. Ultimately though, the characters are so well written and the story has such a great HEA, that I felt Hazel and Luca deserve five stars. Another great book from this author! I received an advance copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Imperfectly Perfect for Each Other!
Hazel Spencer and Luke Lovelin, on the surface, have nothing in common other than that they're both physically gorgeous human beings. Hazel is rich, aloof, and strives to be practically perfect in every way. Luke is an ex-con trying his best to stay on the straight and narrow while realizing that doing the right thing sometimes involves moral ambiguities. When fate throws them together, the impact is explosive, and their encounter (pro tip: you might want to have a fan handy!) results in an unexpected pregnancy, they have to work out a plan for co-parenting that will provide the best possible future for their offspring.
Tawna Fenske's books are always delightful reads. She leaves her readers highly entertained with her humorous take on the awkwardness that can landscape the road to love, and thoroughly satisfied by journey's end.
While I'm sad to see the Cherry Blossom Lake series end, I was very happy to find out that at least one of the characters will be continuing his adventures in The Jailbirds, the author's new rom-com/suspense series. Can't wait!

I cannot begin to describe how much I loved Move Me but I am going to try! Luke Lovelin and Hazel Spencer are perfect together. Yes they're opposites but they truly bring out the best in each other. After a hot romp in the hallway (among other places) Hazel and Luke find themselves expecting. They're not in a relationship together but they both want to be the best parents that they can, so their plan is to co-parent together and remain in a platonic relationship. Well their chemistry has something else to say about that! Move Me was the perfect way to wrap up the Cherry Blossom Lake series. We get to check in with all the residents and see what they've been up to in their lives. And Luke and Hazel are so wonderful together. I'm sad that this series has come to an end but I am intrigued to see where the final Spencer-King sibling will land. Move Me was told from dual POV and was loaded with laughter, heart and plenty of heat! The books are best read in order even though each story stands alone.

Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this last book in series gives Hazel and Luke a HEA. It can be read as a standalone, and longtime readers will recognize Luke as Amy’s brother from the Juniper Ridge series.
Luke is working construction for Spencer Holdings when he and his boss lady Hazel have a fling resulting in a big surprise. Hazel has intrigued me from the beginning of this series. She is so serious, organized, in control, and dressed to perfection. It was a lot of fun to see her give in to her attraction to Luke and get a little messy. There were hot times and laugh-out-loud moments in this read. A couple of conversations where misunderstandings take the lead had me rolling. I loved Luke and his sincere and earnest desire to take care of his family. Hazel, with her insecurities under her outward perfection, was a complex character that was fun to unravel. This book also sets up the next series and I cannot wait.

Move Me is a fabulous read. I loved being in Cherry Blossom Lake so much. This is Hazel's book.to say she has trust issues is an understatement. But you cannot blame her when her father betrayed her and their is such a rift in the family. You will love how close Hazel is with her cousins even when she's holding back. Luke is hilarious and will put a smile on your face. He's a hard worker who is trying to put his misunderstood past behind him. Hazel and Luke are opposite in every way but you cannot deny their chemistry. I love how Luke and Hazel come together. Luke is a stand up guy who will not walk away from responsibilities. Hazel may have a hard exterior but she is a softy when you get to know her. I could not put this down. If you haven't read the Cherry Blossom Lake series yet you need to. Go one click this now.

wow this one has a few twist though they aren't bad ones like you would think. though its sad to see this series end.
hazel hasn't know where she fits with the family as there were strained issues with her dad's actions. but she didnt think Luke would become such an important part of her life thanks to a one night stand that well came with a big surprise
Luke is trying to stay on the good side of the law and well for the most part he has. though one night though fixing the front gate at hazels house does take a twist
well the one night stand and broken condom later the 2 of them get the biggest surprise.
you need to grab this one because it finishes off the series the best way. also it gives you a bit of foreshadowing to whats to come next. though im sure in away we will possibly see the crew from cherry blossom lake again

This is the last book of the series! I’ve loved every book. After I finish each one, I think it’s my favorite. lol The covers on these books are to die for—amazing. Luke is my absolute favorite hero of this series. He’s an ex-con that is so lovable! After one hot night, it results in a pregnancy. (Who doesn’t love a good surprise baby romance?) I loved all the conflict in this story. The conflict made me devoured this book from start to finish. However, the character growth, characters and emotion were my absolute favorite parts of the story. This one had all the feels! The chemistry sizzled and the writing sparkled.
I’ve been a huge fan of Tawna Fenske since book one, and I genuinely think, this book is one of her best!! I’m looking forward to see what she publishes next!

I am honestly so sad that this series is over!! I fell in love with the Spencer-King family & all the characters inhabiting cherry blossom lake.
It’s always fun to read books that take place in your home state - especially from a local author- even better to be a part of their arc reader group (Fenske’s Frisky Posse). I’m so thankful that one day I randomly decided to head to my local bookstore where an author event was happening. I won a raffle for the book “Now that it’s you” by Tawna Fenske & I’ve been hooked ever since!
This is my favorite series that she has written & im excited to see what comes next 😊

The final book in this series did not disappoint. It had the trademark humor and romance Tawna Fenske is know for.
Hazel and Luke have a brief acquaintance. But that acquaintance becomes intimate one afternoon. Although they both assume it’s a one time thing, nature has other ideas.
The characters in these books always have such intriguing personalities that really pop from the page. Hazel and Luke are the same. They have interesting back stories and depths that others don’t always see.
I always love the humor in these books. They are so fun to read. Sad to see the series end but looking forward to lots books from Fenske!

Luke Lovelin falls hard for his baby mama Hazel Spencer. An accidental pregnancy takes them both by surprise and while Luke is all in, ready to be a father, Hazel is much more reserved and hesitant to let someone new into her life.
I enjoyed reading how Luke eases himself into Hazel’s life but it takes some real soul searching along with a helpful nudge from an outside source for Hazel to fully accept that Luke is there to stay.
Move Me is a great conclusion to the Cherry Blossom Lake series.

Move Me is book 6 in the Cherry Blossom Lake Romantic Comedies series by Tawna Fenske and the final book in this series
Hazel has been running her father‘s construction company since he’s been in prison. After visiting her father, she’s returning home and she finds Luke fixing her mansion gate. One thing leads to another and three months late…two pink lines…steamy, laughter, banner, family, trust issues, baggage and will they find the HEA they both deserve?
I voluntarily read a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Move Me was super cute, I was waiting to see what Hazel would bring to the table after getting to know her in the previous books I was quite surprised at the layers she had and how much she doubted herself. I'm glad she was able to see that it is ok to let go sometimes and I was so happy when she found her footing to stand up for herself. Luke is just the person that was able to bring her out of her shell and the bonus babies sooo sweet. I can't wait to see them pop up in the next series.

Another enjoyable and burst out laughing book by Ms. Fenske. Double innuendos galore. I love Luke's character, he was quite a very entertaining character. I found it interesting how Hazel always pigeon holed him on his past experiences, which was not fair. These characters are an awesome breed and they stick together like glue. Definitely recommend.

Hazel and Luke have a complicated relationship. They both have a lot of baggage from their own choices and the choices of family members. Now they find themselves facing parenthood unexpectedly, and all of that baggage has to be faced. I enjoyed their banter and chemistry. I also appreciated their discussions about perfection and the actual right things.

A wonderful end to the series!
Probably the best couple saved for last. Luke and Hazel are lovely and their love story is heartwarming. Surprise pregnancy was handled realistically and with care.
Also, the setup for another series has me very excited!

Abandonment isuues, her from her mother, him from his father. They have more in common than they think. Trust is definitely an issue. Explosive is how I would describe these two. Hot, sexy, funny, complicated and cautious. Lots of lol moments.

It stinks this is the last book in this series but very exciting we will be getting a new series from it. Hazel and Luke are complete opposites but mend so great together!! This is one of my favorite tropes of one night stand makes a pregnancy. It fun how they fall for each other. Great book!!
