I've liked all the other reads I've had from this author but this might be my favorite one. I've always liked interconnected series; rehashing previous characters & unraveling subplots from the main story line.
Honestly, before this I was in some kind of a slump (esp from reverse harem reads) so I was glad that I finished this one in one sitting.
Though, I admit, I was conflicted with the main characters...mainly with the rapport of each hero with the heroine. The heroine herself was a 50-5o for me. Half of the time (mostly her as a mother and daughter) I was fond of her. I admired all young & single mothers, sometimes to the extent of hero-worshiping them. And re-reading the prequel to this, the heroine had come a long way from being spoiled rare-black-witch daughter-to-a-freaking-god to this hardworking, selfless mom.
It was just...I also had ugh/meh feelings for her for the other half of time. But that could also because no one's perfect and she's bound to make mistakes, too.
Most of the reasons why I was irritated by the heroine was because of her rocky connections with the heroes. Ok, let's start off with Markus. As the childhood friend turned boyfriend to the heroine, I've also had to see him in the prequel as a self-entitled boy. Then there's also the indication that he cheated on the heroine with the best friend-ugh, challenges my non-judge-mentality, istg. So wasn't it only natural that the then newly-found pregnant heroine felt insecure as to whether he would/could shoulder the responsibility? And jesus fucking christ, speaking of the devil, Willow seemed the same to me. Just a kiss, my ass. Still blaming others, only difference was the crazy father set his sights on her. Anyway, back to Markus. His recent character, as someone who was supposed to have grown up, only got brief actions in general so I would have to read more from him to get a grasp of him. And hopefully to get him more bonding moments with his daughter. He deserved that now,
at least.
Nick. Although his beginnings with the heroine was built on a rocky foundation, both the good intentions and almost futile attempts in forming a relationship with the heroine definitely overthrew the said rocky foundation.
Lastly, Patrick. My favorite. He's spent the least time with her but had the best relationship with the heroine. And dare I say has the best chemistry among the guys? Complements the heroine very well.
Hope to read more from this author real soon!
