Liam Scott is sick. That’s not supposed to be possible. As a wolf shifter, he’s supposed to be able to heal. The omega gene he was born with means he’s capable of carrying shifter young and Liam is worried that whatever is wrong will mean his one-day hope of having pups will be dashed. But despite the fears keeping him away from the doctor until now, he knows he needs to go.
It turns out the sickness is temporary, but the treatment causes a whole other problem.
Mason’s alpha gene means he’s one of very few wolves who can impregnate an omega male. For two years, he’d been watching Liam, but things kept getting in the way. When Liam shows up in heat, Mason recognizes the opportunity he needs and doesn’t hesitate make to Liam his mate and the father of his pups.
But Liam has old wounds and fears to work through which the pregnancy is only making worse, and Mason isn’t sure how to get past them to show he’s serious about making a life together as loving mates. It’s not until a female wolf decides Mason should be hers that Liam makes his biggest worry known—and Mason can finally put the fears to rest.

This was the mpreg-iest mpreg story I have ever read
Liam is an independent omega who has no plans on mating or starting a family any time soon. He’s got his eye on the future and it doesn’t include some overbearing Alpha-hole or a gaggle of ankle biters getting underfoot. Sure, he one day hopes to have the family he’s always dreamed of but that’s for when he’s older, not right now. That all goes out the window when his heat suppressant meds go on the fritz and he finds himself alone in the presence of Alpha and long-time crush, Mason.
This story is sweet. And… that’s about it. There’s not much angst to it. What little angst there is comes by way of miscommunication or, really, just not talking to each other. I wouldn’t say there is much of a Big Misunderstanding (thank God, because I hate that trope!) but I did utter a few choice words at Mason’s obtuseness when it came to his lack of saying how he truly felt.
As for the rest of it, well, to be honest it was a bit bland. A little too… domestic. It was all about breeding Liam, meeting the parents and buying a new home. There was not much else to it. Frankly, I was bored through a good chunk of it. It didn’t feel like I was reading an A/o shifter mpreg story; instead it read more like a sheltered suburbanite’s pregnancy diary. There was none of the “mate, mine!” that I look for when reading mpreg. There was no sinister villain out to get anyone. There was no danger. The woman out to steal Mason away from Liam referenced in the blurb wasn’t really a part of the story; just a small plot device thrown in near the end to facilitate the resolution of their miscommunication issue.
Now, I’m all for reading some brain candy, of which this story definitely qualifies, but I need some action or charm to balance out the fluff and there was not enough of either here for me. I want the chocolate bar with the caramel and nougat center. This was more like a Chick-O-Stick. I’ll eat it if it’s offered and maybe even enjoy it but it’s not what I would pick when standing in the candy aisle.
This is not to say that I didn’t like the book because I did for the most part. The birth scene was worth quite a chuckle and the epilogue was over-the-top ridiculous just the way I like it. I ‘awwed’ when I got to the family tree at the end and saw they got mated on my birthday. The story is well written with few editing issues and it flowed smoothly (albeit a little too slow for me). So, it’s not a bad book at all. It’s just not my type of brain candy.
You can imagine my absolute squeals of delight when I discovered that a favored author of mine, the very talented Grace R. Duncan, had written another shifter story involving an alpha, an omega, and mpreg. I honestly can't seem to get enough of this genre. I might be a wee bit obsessed. Regardless, Liam sounded adorable, Mason seemed like a good man, and I was super excited to see them get their happy ever after.
I completely fell in love with Liam… on like page three. I know, I know. It seems as if I do that all the time with omegas, but believe me when I say Liam is fabulous and he had me at ”Until then, I would really prefer to keep my ass to myself." Mason pretty much just had me. Super hot, sexy beyond belief, but nice, and sweet, especially his feelings for Liam which Mason has been harboring for a couple of years. Their first time together? Freaking off the charts blazing hot while also so darn sweet!
Three Hearts by Grace R. Duncan is a m/m mPreg Shifter story. This story is a standalone, not a part of any series, and told from alternating POV between the MC Mason and Liam. This story is set in a slightly dystopian world where shifters are known about and integrated into human life, working and living side by side. Shifters in this world shift once a month (mandatory on full moon), can shift at other times, and females and Omega's go into heat once a month for four days. During this time, the Omega (even male Omega's) can get pregnant if mated with an Alpha wolf. It is frowned upon to be out in public if you are in heat, so those unmated can take a hormonal heat suppressant - which allows them to skip their heat cycles.
When we start the story, Liam has been sick, he is tired and run down...it's been going on for the past couple of weeks and he is afraid to find out what is wrong with him...so he has been putting off the doctor visit. When he does finally go to the Dr, he finds out he has a hormonal imbalance from missing his heat suppressant a couple months back, his sickness is easy to fix - with a hormone replacement. One catch - this replacement may or may not trigger a full blown heat. The first dose of the pill goes as expected, he starts feeling better, and yes he is having some symptoms of heat...but he doesn't think he is in a full heat. Although he doesn't really know what a full heat is, he is 28 years old and taken the suppresant from puberty, he is still a virgin - so its not entirely his fault he missed being in heat. The next day, day of his replacement therapy, he has to run into work and drop off budgets to the CFO, Mason Hayes, they can't be late and due to his recent illness he has been missing a lot of work. So he heads into his job, even with his false heat in full swing. When he walks into Mason's office...he figures out, it isn't a false heat as his pants become soaked and his body prepares itself for mating. But it's too late..he just walked into Mason Hayes's office, the man that fuels much of his spank-bank, the man he has listed after for 2 years, and he is there ...in full heat, Mason who is also an Alpha.
Mason Hayes can't believe who just walked into his office. It's Liam, the man he has wanted since the moment he glimpsed him over 2 years ago...the man he has been trying to figure out how to ask out. To top it off, this sweet little Omega came into his office in full heat. It was time to stake his claim, mate his Omega, and breed him...now. His wolf-mind had one thought "bend him over and plant my seed" ---
These two quickly move from co-worker to mates. There is no dating as they are going about it all backwards, after 4 days of intense mating - I mean these two go at it like rabbits, there is sex, sex, and more sex . It is no shock when 2 weeks after the heat subsides, Liam is pregnant and Mason is ecstatic and already planning how many pups they will have total.
Put that on rinse, wash, repeat - you have the plot of the story.
I have to say that this book lacked a lot of romance and that was a bit of a let down. The breeding (yes I am calling it that because it went way past sex and Mason went at Liam with the sole purpose of getting Liam pregnant) portion of the story took over the plot. These two men didn't communicate well and Liam was full of self-doubts and fears that all could have been abated had they taken the time to actually talk in between all of the sex. I felt like I was missing a huge part of the story, and I need more emotion and feelings involved in my books. Even when these two were being sweet to each other, it seemed superficial to me and more of an ownership thing rather than a true bond. I love shifter books because of the Wolf bond that occurs, this book lacked that- or at least I didn't pick up on it. I went into this story thinking it would be like Devotion and the other books in The Forbes Mates Series....and it couldn't have been further off.
Overall, not a win for me. If you are looking for a book with low romance - high sex, this book might fair better with you.
The blurb tells you the gist of what you'll find within so I won't bore you with a repeat of that. I will however tell you that there is much more to this story than what you find hinted at in the blurb. I will also tell you that the female wolf mentioned doesn't play as big a role as the blurb might hint, but she is the catalyst for... well, you read this for yourself.
This book was a blast to read. I adored Liam Scott, and I adored Mason Hayes. I loved their bond, their relationship, I loved how well they worked together, I loved how they were both kind and thoughtful and so, so in love with each other, even if Liam doesn't believe it and Mason is afraid to say it.
The mythology used here was also rather interesting - Mpreg obviously, but giving the Omega wolf an actual uterus - and the author did a great job, IMHO, of weaving the various aspects of her specific mythology seamlessly into the narrative and dialogue without making it sound like info dump.
There were moments when I giggled, there were moments that made me go 'awww', and there were moments when I wanted to reach into the book and knock both of these men over the head so they'd finally just bloody talk about what was bothering them.
Also, lots and lots of sexy, steamy times. Because, wolves. And knotting. Knotting! And pheromones, and an Omega wolf in heat, and mating bonds, and family times, and misunderstandings, and realizations, and love, so much love.
I didn't want to stop reading until I had reached the final page. The epilogue, set 8 years after the main part of the book, was super cute too. I enjoyed watching Liam and Mason with their pups, and also appreciated the family tree image at the end. By then, it was really clear how much Liam had grown into himself, how his view of himself had changed, because of Mason's love for him, how he was an equal partner in their relationship despite the discrepancy in incomes, and how supremely happy and fulfilled they were.
This was a nearly perfect Mpreg wolf shifter novel, and I thoroughly enjoyed every single minute I spent reading. I couldn't ask for more.
Well done, Grace, well done!
** I received a free copy of this book from its author. A positive review was not promised in return. **
If you want some serious mpreg, like...heats, knotting, pregnancy from start to finish, explained in a lot of detail, then this is the book for you!
Liam and Mason are wolf shifters, and they live in a world where humans and shifters live together. The shifters must shift on a full moon, and I like that they don't have fated mates, so they can pick who they want to mate with.
Although Liam and Mason work in the same building and are already secretly attracted to the other, the story starts off with them meeting when Liam is recovering from a heat suppressant sickness/imbalance. When Mason smells Liam, he knows he has to have him. I will say that these two had some wonderfully hot chemistry together. They were sweet, sensual, and although things moved at lightning-fast speeds, it kinda worked for them.
The main source of any angst, is Liam's insecurities about how committed Mason will be to him and their pups, and a bump in the road from a female wolf. Nothing major, this story really is all sweetness and the progression of pregnancy. If you want something with minimal angst and some serious mpreg and lots of sex, then give this a try.
FOR FUCK'S SAKE ... why does every shifter book these days have to be MPreg?!? I don't want to read about men giving birth!!!!! If I wanted that, I'd read M/F books!!!!!!!!!
Liam Scott is sick. That’s not supposed to be possible. As a wolf shifter, he’s supposed to be able to heal. The omega gene he was born with means he’s capable of carrying shifter young and Liam is worried that whatever is wrong will mean his one-day hope of having pups will be dashed.

My Review ~
Three Hearts is a standalone, contemporary paranormal mpreg story. If you've never read mpreg before, you could quite easily pick Three Hearts up and enjoy it.
Three Hearts is a sweet, cute, and fun mpreg shifter story with relatively low angst. Our two MCs actually work together and things evolve between them purely by accident. Liam has been ill, which is almost unheard of for shifters. So ill that his normal suppressants aren't working and poor Liam goes into an unexpected heat...and it happens at the worst time. In front of his boss Mason...who he's been attracted to for a while but doesn't think he has a chance with him. What he doesn't know is that Mason happens to be attracted to Liam but never acted on it.
While it was a bit insta-lust, I get that as it's shifters and I did expect that..I didn't expect the rest of the story to just be as close to perfect as you can get for these two MCs. This is the kind of story you just kind of curl up on the couch and just let it take you through the journey the author has in store for you. You're going to laugh, you're going to want to shake Liam at times..and swat Mason, and you're going to cheer both of them on through the book.
There is a bit of conflict but most of that occurs around Liam and his fear that Mason won't stay around for him and the pups. Something his own father had to go through when he had Liam, and Liam thought that all Alphas behaved that way. However Mason proved him wrong multiple times during the story and they worked everything out in the end.
Overall this is was just a feel good kind of story with two characters that were literally made for each other. I truly enjoyed Three Hearts and I think you will too.
This really and truly is a romantic and sweet story! There aren’t two words more apt to describing this story. In this world, the author has created a universe where humans and shifters live amongst each other. Omega wolves, both male and female, can get pregnant. So, I took a moment and tried to picture a world where men walked around pregnant and kind of found that to be interesting.
In this case Liam is an omega and he works in a firm. He takes suppressants so that he can’t go into heat and therefore become pregnant. Of course something goes wrong he has side effect and well… I don’t want to tell you all the little adorable secrets this tale holds.
Mason is the CFO for the company Liam works for, and he’s an alpha. I loved how this all worked itself out. Mason, even before Liam goes into heat, had his eye on him. So, this whole thing was pure perfection for him.
So much in Liam’s past holds him back from saying those three magic words. So, we sit back and watch these two love all over each other! Frustrated because they are both beyond stubborn. But it’s beautiful. Mason dotes on Liam like he’s the second coming and Liam works so hard with the trust part.
There really is minimal conflict in this story. A bump here and there but mostly it’s a smooth, warm, homemade apple pie kind of feeling, book. If that makes sense. I smiled through so much of it and I tell you, when it ended I thought Liam deserved an award… you’ll see.
All in all, this is a truly good feeling shifter/mpreg book. These guys are fabulous together. The secondary characters ore true godsends and added a wonderful layer to this story. Lovely.
My favorite moments in reading mpreg are when I have the pleasure of reading fantastic mpreg—like this one—and showing it off to the mpreg haters, knowing they’ll love it because it’s a great story. And for those who love mpreg, you’re going to love love love this.
Three Hearts is a standard paranormal mpreg with wolf shifters—thus making all the mpreg science magically work—and it pretty much covers all our beloved mpreg tropes: one true pairing, alpha/omega (okay, that one isn’t my favorite), insatiable urge to breed, rich alpha, full term pregnancy, proud alpha with a pregnancy fetish, multiples, and birth! A hint of medical fetishism, a sprinkle of desperation, and a touch of hurt/comfort was icing on our mpreg cake. Add an epilogue, in case you were slightly unsure they’d live happily ever after, and it was pretty much perfect. It has low relationship angst, an easy plot, and is pretty much a fluffy one-handed read. Yay!
I will say the insta-love hit me on kind of a discordant note, and I believe that could have been set up better. There was also a lot of telling and backstory, but that’s sort of expected in fluff and everything else was so good I glossed over it. The one thing that irked me was the assertion that Mason, the alpha, was the one who caused Liam to have multiples.
It’s the egg donor’s (Liam’s) genes that would determine multiples, not the sperm donor’s genes, because the egg donor would be the one releasing more eggs to fertilize. Believe me, there’s already enough sperm from Mason to fertilize every single one of our omega’s eggs, like ten times over, so the amount of sperm has nothing to do with multiples. Even if Mason had super sperm, it wouldn’t matter. It’s one sperm to one egg. As for identical twins, that’s not necessarily genetic. Identical twins, where egg and sperm split into two fetuses, are a happy mutation, but most dogs in a litter are fraternal twins and most human twins are also fraternal.
Usually this sort of scientific slip wouldn’t bother me—because this is fantasy—but the idea of Mason being the reason Liam had multiples was basically the main plot of the story, and even the title is fashioned from this theme. You’d expect an author to pick and choose which aspects of canine and human biology to adhere to and which to ignore in paranormal fiction, so I can’t be too upset, but I was admittedly a bit bummed because it could have been easily avoided.
I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of shifters, of whether or not the concept could be hard science fiction. There’s a theory that a male feline’s penis is barbed in order to stimulate ovulation in the female. Another interesting tidbit is canines have their periods during heat. You don’t see that in shifter fiction! *winks*
2.99 stars That was just too damn much. It was longggggggg! And it really did NOT need to be THAT long. The first third (even up to the halfway mark) was cute and I liked it a lot. I'm okay with the occasional insta-lust. Especially since we didn't meet them until they had been lusting for nearly two years, so I believed it. And the sex was smokin. And they were sweet even though Liam was being stupid and oblivious to the point of willful ignorance.
But then it. Just. Kept. Going. Every little minutia and detail of the pregnancy and what Liam was thinking and worrying about. It got to be a bit torturous. The sex scenes were still hot until about two thirds of the way and then I. Just. Did. Not. Care.
And I just didn't see why it needed to go as far as it did. It wasn't even cute anymore, just excessive. And all the money talk bothered me. Yes money needed to be addressed, but it was always no problem despite a heavy financial burden and despite Mason claiming they weren't 'rich.' As they're hiring housekeepers and buying two million dollar houses and such. It just annoyed me and felt very privileged.
Last thing that annoyed me, was Liam's total lack of knowledge in anything Omega-pregnancy based. This is a world where humans and shifters live in harmony and everyone knows male Omega shifters can be impregnated by male alpha shifters. Yet Liam didn't know he had a cervix?! He didn't know how the baby/poop factory would be separate during birthing?! He didn't know ANYTHING! Don't they have Sex Ed in this world?!?
Anyway, a good story here, and I rounded up to 3 stars since I liked the first half. It just went on too long. Could have even been two books, except then the author wouldn't have been able to use the big climax that we all saw coming from page 5 onward.
Received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review, reviewed for Hearts On Fire
This story will not wow you or change your life. This is a book you read when you want sweetness with easy resolve. Therefore, if you are in the market for a Shifter book involving Mpreg with low angst/conflict (aka a comfort read to me) then this is the book for you.
In this story there are a few things that differ from the norm Shifter/Mpreg storyline. Here the Alpha/Omega pair get to pick their mates, and it seems if they want to break their bond they can with no repercussions. So, don’t expect a mating pull or fated mates, because you will not find that here. Thus, it goes without saying you do not want to be an Omega in heat near an Alpha bombarding them with pheromones. Because that will get you only one result, and you know what I am getting at.
Liam and Mason's story consists mostly of internal conflict; mainly on Liam's part. Something from his past keeps him from dropping his guard and finding happiness. However, there is a bit of external conflict that comes into play towards the beginning of the story and then again shows its face near the end. While it does add a bit of drama into the fold, IMO it felt thrown in, rushed and easily resolved.
Overall, I did enjoy the flow of the book and how Liam's pregnancy wasn't glazed over. It was nice reading the physical as well as emotional changes that he underwent. However, one thing that did annoy me a bit was that it seemed if an Omega were to have a child, they would need to be extremely prosperous. Ergo, finances seemed a big part of the story; yet weirdly enough never caused any real conflict between Liam and Mason. All in all, I thought Mason's actions towards Liam were very thoughtful and he meant well.
In the end, you are left with happiness with both MC's getting their HEA. So, if you are in need of a pick me up, come and get it :)
Aside from that, this was an okay read. No strong opinion either way. It was nice in spots, tedious in others. I didn't mind the angst, it felt reasonable. Major pregnancy kink which, whatever floats your boat I guess, but should be tagged for.
This is a book for fans of mpreg! It’s a 100% angst free pregnancy extravaganza!
As the blurb suggests Liam works for Mason and when his heats start becoming a problem they end up mating. Luckily, both men have had their eyes on the other man for awhile – so everyone is quite happy with that result!
There is very little else in the story to worry about except for the “normal” new relationship followed by newly pregnant issues.
**
I thought the writing was excellent. Unfortunately, there was a LOT of sex and not much conflict to drive this story forward. Our MCs didn’t spend a heck of a lot of time in their shifted forms and besides being able to carry young, their shifter-ness didn’t really play much of a factor. Liam felt a bit too much like the typical romantic ingénue for my comfort and I wasn’t overwhelmed with anything “new” in this story.
I’m a huge fan of Duncan’s Forbes Mates series (http://openskyebookreviews.com/?s=for...) and I was a bit disappointed that this didn’t follow a similar pattern. It’s fun, but there just wasn’t enough conflict to keep me interested.
Fans of mpreg will be really pleased by the in depth exploration of pregnancy and the new relationship but fans of shifter romances might find this a bit lacking.
Three Hearts did a good job figuring out how mpreg would work! I appreciated the thought that went into creating Grace Duncan’s version of the werewolf trope. I’m glad that omegas weren’t just stereo typical women with extra equipment. Instead they were guys with extra parts.
Although fast, Liam and Mason’s relationship was sweet. Liam had a lot of self-esteem issues that Mason had to overcome, but he did so in such a loving way. There isn’t much conflict in the story. This made for a light, heartwarming tale.
The epilogue gave us a glimpse of the future for this couple, and all I can say is wow! I couldn’t imagine being in their position!!!
If you want a low angst shifter tale with mpreg, I recommend this one.
I've missed my wolf shifters. I can't go too long without reading one or I get really antsy and I've definitely waited to long. I couldn't wait to dive into this.
I've actually had this author on my radar for a while but hadn't had the chance to read her yet. Now I'm kicking myself for waiting. I loved Liam and Mason. At first I really loved the mating and the knotting but then the story began to focus more on their relationship with each other and we got to see them more as a couple. That made me melt a little inside. They were really sweet and tentative with each other. I really loved watching their relationship grow over time. And the MPreg - oh yes. This fan is beyond happy with this MPreg book and Ms. Duncan has found herself a new fan.
This cute mpreg paranormal romance had many of the tropes I love: insatiable urge to breed, multiples, a light medical fetishism, and on top of all of that you are there from conception to birth to a happy little ever after. There was little to no relationship conflict, it had a light and fluffy plot, and all in all was a great one-handed read. If you enjoy mpreg--and even if you simply enjoy low angst MM Romance--I highly recommend this one.
A nice easy, comforting read while sitting near the fire, listening to the wind and sleety rain outside. Approached this story with some trepidation but was pleasantly surprised at how it was written. Definitely quite cheesy in places with plenty of "baby", insta live together and dripping a**eholes but better than most mpreg I have read. The writing flowed nicely and the editing was good. 3.5 stars (4 for GR)
This book should've annoyed the hell out of me - it was pretty much insta-everything. Instead I fell insta-in-love. Crazy sweet and just plain adorable, I loved Liam and Mason. And that epilogue! Had to read it twice. Definitely a feel-good story, going right into the reread folder.
I had some issues with this book, primarily because this read like an M/F romance rather than M/M. I frequently see reviews talking about how one of the MCs could have just been a woman, but this is the first time I felt that way about a book myself. Maybe it was the . Plus, the ending was absurd. Just bonkers.
But on the other hand, I smiled almost the whole way through. It's well-written and sweet and funny. It's low on angst and high on cuteness. Yeah, the whole thing is just over the top, but apparently that's not a deal-breaker for me.
I tend to approach books with mpreg (male pregnancy) very cautiously. I find the idea of it interesting on some level and I have read a few stories that manage the concept in a rational fashion. But I have read too many books where the entire concept goes completely off the rails. Unfortunately, Three Hearts falls into the latter category. On its surface, I suspect the story will appeal to some. Two sweet guys fall in love and go through the business of becoming a family. They meet one another relatives, buy all the adorable baby things, and are guaranteed their happily ever after. And if that’s what you’re looking for, then Three Hearts is for you. Aside from this, the author also gives readers quite a bit of explanation regarding the idea of wolf relations and male pregnancy, within the context of the world she has created. I appreciated the fact that an effort was made to explain certain medical and physical issues and that readers weren’t just left to try and assume what was going on.
My biggest frustration with Three Hearts is how the plot unfolds. We have a contrived mating between two wolf shifters that occurs both figuratively and literally in minutes. And Liam is moving into Mason’s house within days. They’ve settled down into a kind of matrimony before the week is out. And while neither of them professes their love for one another right away, as readers we are assured, that while unspoken, love is there right from the start. Even for insta-love it’s ridiculous. The whole relationship between Liam and Mason lacks believability or natural development, instead coming off as ham fisted and forced.
Um. So, as a rule, I am not a big reader of shifters and mpreg however, if done well, I enjoy them. This was sweet, not at all angsty and I liked Liam, an omega and Mason, an alpha. I think my problem with paranormals is the required explanations a reader needs to understand the world, the mechanics, so to speak, etc. But this was fine. Right off the bat, I understood Liam and his issues and the whole omega/alpha thing. So why three stars? 17 kids???!!! Really?! I know, I know, this is mpreg and shifters and all of that but really. I've read that some Goodreaders are into pregnancy kink? Is that really a thing? Okay whatever floats your boat. I found Liam and Mason's interactions funny yet sweet. So a sweet, odd nice little mpreg romance.

4****Stars
Novel: Three Hearts Author: Grace Duncan Publisher: Self Published Genre: Paranormal Romance Length: 214 pages Release: March 3, 2017 Rated: Mature M/M preg
I have read many books by Grace Duncan, and her flights of fantasy have taken me down many paths. As a reviewer I am exposed to all writings, and I must confess two things prior to writing this review…..#1 I am an mpreg virgin and #2 this simple story is such a delightful change from what I expected! (In a good way!)
We are in a contemporary setting, Chicago, where humans and shifters live in harmony. Liam and Mason are wolf shifters. They work for the same company, not at the same level. Liam is in the accounting department and Mason is the CFO. Liam is an Omega shifter capable of having babies. Mason is an Alpha, capable of impregnating an Omega. A new world for me to learn, opening up the many questions of ‘mates and forever’ that I have had. Liam’s Dad was also an Omega and was mated to someone who broke the mating bond and left them to have one parent raise the child. Liam has trust issues big time.
Evidently, males go thru a heat cycle, and take medication to not throw off pheromones to another male. Liam is given some other medication and by morning he is in heat. He will take a few days off, as not to have the many males in the building follow him like the wolf in heat he is. He is just going to go up to Mason’s office and drop of the last report. You got it babe….broad daylight on the desk!
We start the relationship backwards, sex first dinner later but this charming love story is just that, a charming sexy, un-angsty loves story. Clearly readers of this author will smile, as quiet is not Grace’s middle name, but a great change of pace.
4.5 stars ~ this book just made me so happy! I love this author. So so much. And that epilogue. UNGH. I might need to go read that again. Happy happy feels. That's what this was.
