The Brothers of Calloway Creek: The McQuaids #1
No Small Bet
Reluctant single dad.
Arrogant villain.
Cold-hearted heir.
And the enemy of my brothers.
I should hate him… so why can’t I stop wanting him?
Hawk McQuaid is not the guy who stays.
He doesn’t do relationships.
Especially not with the virgin amputee who accidentally became his nanny during an elevator mishap.
But he’s wound himself around my heart.
And it’s the last place he should be.
He’ll hurt me. It’s not even a question of if. It’s when.
Because hearts like his don’t love… they destroy.

I liked it. The hero was kind of a jerk in the beginning but he redeemed himself by the end. I liked the humour of the heroine regarding her situation. It takes a lot of courage to achieve this level of non stop movement and the positive vibes

This book has so many problems. This is not even everything. I just don't have the time to go through it all. Let's begin.
Slutshaming. Let Holland live, Addy. You're all up in her business, but don't show the same energy to the men in the book. Instead you pity yourself for being a virgin, but at the same time consider your maidenhood as more valuable to men. Excuse me?? I've only dated two men, and I've only been with one man, and he's the man I'm planning to marry, but wow am I glad I'm not your friend Addy.
The baby Rivington. Hawk deserves a special place in the Underworld for the name alone. But his indifference? His bargain with his grandfather? I wish that man an eternity of rotating on a Ixion's fiery wheel.
Hawk. In addition to Rivington is the sheer amount of mindboggling shit that comes out of this man's mouth. Insulting blue collar workers? Calling your nannies the help and making them use the back stairs? Addy. Babes. There is not enough character development in the world, especially in this book. Someone who is nice to you and an asshole to everyone else is a walking 🚩🚩🚩, and a last minute change of heart doesn't mean shit. I would say hate to break to you, but I don't. Get a grip. The dick can't be that good, and the options cannot be that barren.
Ableism and Disability Etiquette. Addy ends the book still defining her self worth (in comparison to an able-bodied woman) based on the attention of men. This is not a story of her learning to love herself. The second she learns Hawk's secret, she isolates herself from everyone around her, leaving her phone and claiming she'll never laugh again. As if she wasn't a human with a life and purpose before she met the man. Also, the way that she just took it upon herself to push a stranger's wheelchair without his consent? George's wheelchair is part of his personal space, babes. What are you doing? I know this from working in Disability Resources for the last few years, but this author would have had to do the bare minimum research to find that out for herself. Follow up also—I'm sorry. In a town where everyone knows her, and she is the self-proclaimed sweetheart, every single time she leaves the house someone rudely asks about her leg? The probability of that is presumably so low.
Just a little something for George. He's gotta get hit too for this one:
“His grandfather gave him an ultimatum. Now you give him one.”
“Me? I don’t have any money.”
“You have something more precious than money.”
“What’s that?”
“You. Tell him if he wants you he has to keep the child.”
Please seek help. I'm begging.
Just one more thing for good measure:
And I ask myself for the hundredth time how I ended up falling for such a heartless villain.
I wonder the same. HA. This was such an awful book. Two 1 stars in row. Wow. Please someone find me a good book. I promise I rate generously. Look at my profile rating!

Hawk McQuaid ticks every box of arrogant, c0cky, rich, grumpy alpha playboy hero checklist! And he just needed someone fierce and bada₹₹ like Addison Calloway to tame his heart. These two have some seriously combustible chemistry that was slowly built up and the enemies-to-lovers tension could be cut with a diamond knife. They went from family enemies to boss-nanny to complicated lovers and I loved every second of No Small Bet by Samantha Christy.
Hawk McQuaid was living the life of proverbial billionaire playboy when a bomb aka a surprise baby girl is dropped in his life. The mother died giving birth and his grandfather has given him an ultimatum. He has to take care of the baby for one year at least else he will lose all his trust fund. He thought he can hire nannies and stay away but no one is sticking around. By some accident, he has to hire Addison who is from his enemy family. Addison has taken the job because she needs the money and her prosthetic leg cannot carry the pressure of long shift. They cannot stand each other but hate always comes with lust and love.
Two things. First, kudos to the author for creating a heroine with such special needs. And handling that really well. Addison is no wallflower. She has brass ball₹. She takes no sh1t from anyone. She is brave and sassy and fierce. She amazed me with her strong will and determination. She has her moments of vulnerability and she works double harder to overcome those. Gotta love a strong FMC.
Second, why do I love Hawk so much? Like how? The author started with him being pretty much unlikable. He was an obnoxious c0cky ahole all the way. Manh0e extraordinary. And then she slowly flipped him around. I obviously loved his ahole alpha ways from the beginning. And then the author cracked him wide open showing the swoony sides. He was given a heavy dose of reality. By his baby girl and Addison. He went from this non believer to this man head over heels in love with his girls. It was a painful and complex journey. But worth it.
The enemies to lovers tension here was pure gold. Addison and Hawk constantly fought and the banter was on point. And then little moments brought them together. The slow burn was delicious. And then it all exploded. I laughed. I swooned. I enjoyed every freaking second. And the whole town is a character itself here. The families are a bit crazy in the most adorable way.

I haven't read much of the grumpy single dad romance and after finishing this book I've got to say it's a new favorite. The storyline, the spice, the drama, the characters, the happily ever after was...chef's kiss. I loved this.

I had some problems with this one.
As far as the tension and smut go - all green flags.
But the rest of the book?
Believe, me when I tell it felt like it was written by a pick-me girl. This is one of those books where you kind of have to like at least one of the main characters, and MC was kind of hard to like with the way she spoke about others. She does a lot of slut-shaming. (some against this girl who slept with her ex, and a lil against her own friend).
The guy was also a complete red-flag. I’ll be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of the good girl x bad boy trend, especially where she has to fix a major flaw that is most definitely a red flag. (and this man had several red flags).
I've gone on dates with guys that are somewhat similar. Not great guys. These are guys who do things that are clearly reckless and irresponsible. But they have some redeeming qualities e.g., being loyal. However, those redeeming qualities don't make the man. The man is a sum of their characteristics, words, and actions. I just can't look past the words and actions here.
But at least she'll have a lot of money during the divorce. (Idk man this book hits a sore spot for me)
All-in-all, not bad. It was easy to read, some good tension between the pair. I loved the baby (I wonder how the book would have gone if the child was more of a menace). But I hate the trope. Not my cup of tea.
The play-by-play
chap 20 - hit me like a truck with that character development - he offered to take care of the baby AND he gave her a nickname. what the heck happened to passing out drunk for a weekend. chapter 21 - small grievance: but i damn hate it when there’s a line from a guy being ‘she’s not wearing any makeup - not that she needs it’. it sounds like the most backhanded compliment - like we know she’s pretty, makeup is just adding or shaping the existing beauty - come on guys.chap 26 - i really hate the ‘good girl falls for bad boy’ trope…
chap 33 - the book does get points for the accurate representation of recovery time post-coitus.
end - why am i crying tho. that ending was so cute, i think i might just have baby fever.

4 stars!
This was a single dad/ slow burn romance book.
Spice- level 2.
Hawk-
He’s a playboy who does what he wants when he wants, he finds out he has a child that he has to take care of because the mom died while giving birth but, Hawk wanted nothing to do with the child.. Until, his pappy make a small bet with him and told him that he wouldn’t get his inheritance until he takes responsibility for the baby.. and also he told him he would end up falling for the baby. So Hawk hired a nanny to take care of everything.
Addy-
A lovely character that lets nothing stop her (she had a prosthetic leg).. she takes on the job of being the nanny and loves every minute of spends all of her time with Rivi (the baby) while trying to make the grump fall for the baby!
The inheritance part reminded me of the movie The Ultimate Gift how the guy in the movie had to go out of his comfort zone and earn his inheritance!
Overall the book was pretty good!

This is the first of the McQuaid brothers books and I could not put it down. Finished it in a day, I can’t remember the last time I managed to finish a book in one sitting!
This sums their story up so well….
“Addison, falling in love with you wasn’t even a choice. It was more like a predetermined fate. Something I had no control over.”
This has gripped me from the first pages. I have absolutely loved No Small Bet, all the emotions from wanting to slay Hawk for being such a tool, to having a big fat smile on my face.
Hawk is a grade A douche for quite a way through, I didn’t see how he could possibly redeem himself he had dug such a huge hole. Then you start to see the cracks and your heart lets him in.
Addy is so strong, she puts a brave face on to cover her emotions, most don’t see the pain behind. She does however let the mask slip with Hawk.
This was a great storyline for Hawk and Addy, I said from the Calloway series, if anyone can bring stop their feud, it would be Addy. But not without a few bumps in the road and some close calls.
Oh and that epilogue was the icing on the cake. I have been waiting with anticipation for the McQuaid brothers, more so than the Calloways, I think because they have been teasing and tormenting us throughout the last series.
For me Samantha hit it out of the park with this one. Friggin loved it. I didn’t want it to end. I feel a book funk coming on!!!
Well done Samantha you nailed your 25th book with style. Bring on Hunter 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This was pretty good. I really enjoyed it.
My problems with it?
The whole fact that, in my opinion, he fell in love with his daughter a little too late. Yes, we can see him changing but I would have like for the author to reveal that before Addy walked away.
The separation was understandable and the fact that he had to stay with his daughter necessary; however he should have stayed alone longer than 48 hours. He needed to be alone longer.
Another issue is that we never see Addy going to physical therapy again. I think she does not really need it but the fact that she was told to lay off her leg needed follow up. She never talks to her therapist again. I cant even remember his name 🤷🏽♀️.
What I liked?
The character development of Hawk. He grow so much as a man and person. I enjoyed seeing him becoming a good man, loving his ladies and finding that he is more than his money.
Addison was great. Her strength and independence were inspiring.

I like this book quite a bit. Its different. Hawke is the intended hero but for the the first part of the book he's a LOT more villain than hero. He's rich and spoiled. He has a job at the family owned car dealership but barely does any work at all. He's the town libertine and well deserving of that dubious honour. As the book opens, he's just finding out one of his discarded lovers has given birth but lost her own life in the process. Hawke wants absolutely to do with his kid and plans to give her away despite a few members of his family willing to take his newborn baby girl. But then his grandfather offers him a deal he can't refuse. If he keeps the kid for a year, with minimum care, one diaper change a day, one bottle feeding a day, that kind of thing, his grandfather will sign over a boatload of money. Hawke reluctantly agrees - for the money.
It turns out not surprisingly, that Hawke is an absolute horror to work for. He even refuses to name her, just calling her baby girl. Within a day or two two nannies quit on him and now we come to our heroine, Abby. They run into each other at some office just as nanny #2 is quitting. Abby and Hawke know each other. Its a small town and the two families have been feuding for decades. When Abby settles Baby Girl down, Hawke insists she work for him as a nanny. She is horrified at the offer but eventually agrees as the money will help as she has issues she needs money for but more so she loves children and knows Baby Girl needs her as Hawke prefers to ignore her.
Now so far, we despise Hawke to the utmost. It doesn't get much worse than ignoring his own newborn child. But Abby and Hawke are like oil and vinegar and its delicious to see time after time Abby win their battles. Slowly over time, she sees a different side to Hawke that maybe he's not quite the monster she thought he was. And since the book is first person, dual POV, we get glimpses of a different side of him too and realize that Abby can be his salvation and redemption.
And while no one is going to like Hawke for quite some time, Abby is a different case altogether. She is an amazing character. She's gone through trauma and lost a leg. Yet she handles this so remarkably that she really and truly is a wonderful young woman. She's now high on my list of favourite heroines.she has a wicked sense of humour and she absolutely doesn't take any shit from Hawke. And what I like is Hawke recognizes how special she is and the more he realizes this, he also knows how vital she is to him. But he's full of self loathing, knowing that when she really sees him, she'll want nothing to do with him.
Samantha Christy does such an excellent job at making him hateful that I'm sure some readers won't buy his redemption. But I did. He doesn't do a 180, which honestly is more believable. But I do buy that he becomes a true hero to Abby and his daughter and this is a book I'm ever so glad I read it.

“Addy is the angel to my devil. The light to my darkness. She’s changed me. She’s… she’s everything I never knew I wanted. And I can’t lose her.”
Hawk is definitely someone who was easy to dislike. I disliked him so much that I didn’t think he could redeem himself or be good enough for Addy and Rivington. But, in true Samantha Christy fashion, we get our HEA. The off the chart sexual tension between these two is hot! The challenges of being disabled is so well written that you can tell Samantha does her research to make Addy’s struggles so real. And we get a surprise appearance from our most favorite author.

I should’ve known when I started making a list of all the things I hated about this book in the first chapter that I wouldn’t last. Stopping after ch. 5. I just can’t take anymore.
1. There’s some kind of feud between families that was described it the first couple pages. I don’t care and haven’t gotten a chance to read enough before it’s told that I might care.
2. He calls the baby a zygote…
3. Meat legs
4. He doesn’t want the baby because she would come after his money at some point. REALLY??
5. So much slutshaming (of the men too)
6. They are betting on this kid’s future
7. Use of the word cripple.

4.75- I had little tears in my eyes at the end so bravo!
This was unexpectedly funny- I love how she had no problem telling Hawk off. And man he deserved it- what an ass. The thing is, he was an unapologetic ass so at least he was honest about that. He was easy to hate, being consistently horrible. Addy was consistent as well, no swooning for this strong female character.
Addy-
She shakes her head. “I have my mom’s car. I’ll drive it home and have her bring me back.”
I glance at the baby. “And leave me here with her? No.”
“She’s sleeping. I’ll be gone less than an hour.”
“You’re sure she won’t wake up?”
“No, Hawk. I’m not sure. If she does, hold her. Put her on your lap while you watch TV. It’s not rocket science.”
-----------
“Did you just call me a butthead? What are you, six?”
“Sorry, would you prefer asshole?”
The slacking at work thing really bothered me so I was glad to see him really grow into a man of some integrity. Who knew?
And he refused to NAME THE BABY. So awful :) so its funny as Addy randomly throws names in their to see what sticks:
I get out of the car but she doesn’t. “Coming?” I ask.
She rolls down the passenger window. “Did you not notice that your daughter isn’t in the car? Olivia is still at my mom’s, you blind moron.”
“Olivia?” I mock a finger down my throat.
------------
“You mean like you talked about. Poor Rivi.”
“That’s not her name, Addy.”
“Addy’s not my name, Hawk. You really think with a name like Rivington, nobody would shorten it?”
His eyebrows slam together in a scowl. “Her name is Rivington. Not Rivi. Not Riv.”
“You can’t dictate what I call her. And when she’s older, she’ll have her preference as well. Until then, you pretentious fool, I’ll call her whatever the hell I please. I can’t believe you did that to her. As if she doesn’t already have enough to overcome with a father like you.”
"Pappy" sends them on a trip as a requirement for the trust fund:
I drop a second suitcase by the garage door. Hawk eyes it.
“We’re not leaving for a month, just three days.”
Pointing to the larger one, I explain, “Babies require a lot of stuff. You never know what she might need.”
“She eats, sleeps, and shits. There’s not much to it.”
“Says the man who hasn’t lifted a finger to take care of her. There’s a lot more to Rivi than that.”
And when he realizes what he feels for Addy:
“All I could think of was you. Looking at you. Kissing you. Fighting with you. I mean, Jesus, why is fighting with you better than having sex with anyone else?”
-----------
“I wanted to brush my teeth and… stuff.”
“Stuff?”
She shrugs. “I hadn’t shaved in days.”
“Sweetheart, your legs could look like a woolly mammoth and I wouldn’t care.” Her chest rises and falls. “You like it when I call you that, don’t you?” I wink. “Sweetheart. Not woolly mammoth.”
and the results of Pappy's gamble:
“The boy is in love, Heather. It’s a goddamn miracle.”
And usually the impassioned declaration of love at the end of a story have me rolling my eyes but this one had all the feels:
"Do you know how scared I was in the car today? I was trapped, not able to get out of the seatbelt. For a minute I couldn’t get to her. And I couldn’t breathe. Not because I was hurt, but because I couldn’t bear the thought of losing her. I’d already lost you and if I lost her my life would have been over. And it only reinforced what I already knew; that I didn’t want to live another day without you. Both of you.”
Earlier in the story, it was super funny that Addy found out that Hawk was an aspiring author and was horrified at finding his terribly written manuscripts. It plays out at the end that she inspires a great love story out of him and he presents it to family and the public. I love their honesty:
I pull back. “What happened to my cocky, confident guy?”
“Well, let’s see, he had the nervous shits for two hours, then crippling anxiety for another three. Then he turned to tequila just so he could put on a suit and come here.”
Great chemistry, came for the story but stayed for the humor.

No Small Bet is the first in the McQuaid Brothers Series. It is also my first book by Samantha Christy, and I can’t wait to read more! It can be read as a standalone, but takes place in the same world as the Calloway series. There was some talk about the rivalry between their two families that I didn’t fully understanding, but it didn’t affect my overall understanding or enjoyment of the book.
Hawk is a selfish jerk. He only cares about himself and money. One of his previous one night stands is pregnant and keeps telling him that it is his. He doesn’t believe her and thinks she is just trying to get money from her. When it is actually his child, and he is left responsible for “it,” he wants nothing to do with it until his grandfather blackmails him. He says if he puts the child up for adoption he will not receive his trust, but if he spends one year with the baby (whether he chooses to keep her or not at the end of the year), then his money will be doubled. His grandfather has some additional rules like he has to change a diaper every week and give her a bottle, etcetera.
Hawk has a live in nanny who is in charge of the baby, and he doesn’t have anything to do with either of them. Until the nanny quits and he hires Addy Calloway after she calms the baby down when they are stuck in an elevator together. She quickly turns his world upside down and refuses to hide herself and the baby away upstairs with no proof of a child anywhere else in the house.
I loved Addy and how she cared for this baby and wasn’t afraid to stand up to Hawk. I loved getting to see this harsh man go soft for her and his child as he fell in love with them both. This was a great start to the series, and I can’t wait for the next book.

"No Small Bet" A McQuaid Brothers Novel by Samantha Christy
"Spoiler Alert**
Omg... Ladies, this book will have you crying and laughing all at once. So soooo good!!!
Hawk is about to find out if his life has just been turned upside down. There is no way it's true... what is he to do? Tucker knows just what to do, and it's Hawk's worst nightmare. Can he do it? Hell to the yes, and it's a challenge he will gladly accept just to get what he truly wants in the end... or so he thought...
Addison has been given the opportunity of a lifetime, but is it a blessing or the worst mistake of her life?
She was warned by all not to fall, but falling was inevitable. What she sees and what he reveals to others are two completely different things, but his stubbornness gets the better of him. Will this break them? You will have to find out.
I absolutely loved this spectacular story.
There is so much story to read with beautiful characters who share their lives with us. Their heartbreaks, their truths, their secrets... it belongs to all of us. You cry with them. Their fears become your fears... their joys become your joys, and the love they have for each other is all consuming and unforgiving.
From enemies to lovers... this story will captivate you from beginning to end.

I didn’t think I’d like this dude at the beginning, because my gosh is he an asshole, but I actually ended up liking him pretty good. I do wish he’d fallen in love with his daughter quicker but what can ya do…🤷🏻♀️
I didn’t understand why she was so mad about him taking the bet with his grandpa cuz she already knew what kinda man he was and she still decided to like him anyway. She was kind one of the more annoying of fmc’s but she wasn’t too bad.
The most person I liked though is his grandpa he is freaking hilarious.

4.6/5 stars
I absolutely loved this book!
Ate it up in just a day, I adored the character development with Hawk…he was such an asshole in the beginning that it was almost impossible to see him as a great human being who cared for others…
But man oh man did he prove himself wrong by the end😭
Addison is such a strong fmc…I absolutely adored her, the strength she had, the love she gave, and she was an amazing nanny—but honestly more than that, she stepped up when Mr arrogant wouldn’t, she didn’t give up on making sure he at least tried with wanting to be a parent.
I loved their relationship, and liked that they didn’t do anything until at least the halfway point, it seemed realistic to their situations and it gave us time to get to know these characters separately before getting invested in their relationship.
From someone who ISN’T an amputee I still think the author did an amazing job with writing about it, she showed the struggles people face and how just because a tragedy occurs in your life doesn’t mean it’s when you give up, that you can have the strength to continue life, and addy proved that! I was so proud of her.
I adored this story! Thank you so much to Valentine pr for this arc
It comes out on February 27th and I recommend you all read it when it comes out! It was so good😭😍

Let me start by saying I was really looking forward to this book.
I loved these concepts:
amputee virgin heroine
Single dad
Nanny/boss
Grumpy/sunshine
While this story had great bones, it just didn’t work for me.
The hero was completely unlikable for the majority of the book. He initially hated his own child and wanted nothing to do with her. We never get an explanation of why he was the way he was. He had no real reason for being as selfish and hateful as he was. I simply could not sympathize with him because I was not given any reason to. He ending up doing a 180 but it was sudden and not believable. I wanted to see more examples of him gradually bonding with his daughter. We see his feelings for the heroine develop but his daughter was an afterthought.
Yes the ending was great and the epilogue was wonderful but it was not an enjoyable read overall.
Heat 🔥🔥 A couple of steamy scenes. Nothing particularly memorable

3.5 stars - I think this is the first time I actively disliked the MMC for more than a couple pages or just one chapter. Also, Addy was pretty sexist and slut-shaming at times, a bit hypocritical and had some pick me energy with Hawk. But overall, I enjoyed the book enough - I liked Hawk getting his much needed dose of reality, his redemption and his efforts for his daughter and Addy (don’t want to talk about the name choice though, god). These two are good together; their tension, chemistry and spicy scenes were great, but Addy was definitely out of his league despite his physical attractiveness. She was such a good nanny and mother figure to the baby, and also a strong FMC (for the most part). I really liked Holland but after everything I don’t know if I’ll read more in this series after this…interesting book.

Author did such a great job painting H as villain and a*hole, that I absolutely can’t stomach to continue past 16%. There is nothing redeemable about him! DNF

This was one of my most anticipated reads this month and as always, Samantha DID.NOT.DISAPPOINT. This book took us on quite a ride and I loved it. We had seen parts of Hawk’s story from the Calloway Brothers series. Hawk learns that he is a father to a child whose mother has died. While Hawk wants nothing to do with the child, his grandfather has a different plan. They make a bet involving the child and Hawk soon finds himself hiring Addison as a nanny. Hawk wanted nothing to do with raising the child, including giving her a name. At times, it was hard to like Hawk. He was the ultimate grump and he didn’t show much of his caring side. His character development was a little but abrupt and I would have liked to see Hawk warming up to his daughter before the very end. Hawk was a different man by the end and he was determined to prove himself worthy of Addison. I loved seeing Hawk and Addison and Rivi interact. They were often hilarious.
Addy’s story was special on its own. The death of her brother caused her to spiral and ended up in a car accident that caused her to lose part of her leg. In order to deal with it, she used humor and jokes every time someone made a comment about her leg. I love how she was portrayed to be so strong. She took this huge tragedy and didn’t let it stop her from succeeding. And then Hawk enters and tries to make it even better for her. *swoon* Addy was the perfect match for Hawk and the one to soften him.

Not your average single dad
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️
Samantha Christy’s books always have a deeper tone and this was a complete twist on the single dad nanny trope. Hawk was an absolute grump, actually he was a jerk and Addy was pure sunshine. It took a while for Hawk to grow on me, the opening of the book made him completely unlikeable, but eventually he got there. Addy has been amazing since the beginning of this series. This woman has such unbelievable strength, the most positive outlook and a great sense of humor despite the intense losses of her life. She truly made Hawk into a better man. They had a pretty slow burn and the forbidden aspect of their relationship just made it more intense. I love Samantha’s writing and will definitely be finishing this series.

não acho que estou disposta a acompanhar a trajetória de redenção desse porco. esse pp é um nojento, só fala as maiores atrocidades sobre tudo, não acho que há ou haverá coisas boas sobre esse merda que vai me fazer gostar desse pedaço de bosta.
a forma que ele se comportou quando descobriu que a mãe da criança morreu na frente da irmã dela e ao descobrir sobre o bebê foi completamente desprezível e até o momento o casal nem se encontraou ainda. sinceramente, tô sem paciência para esse tipo de coisa.
um homem ridículo de 30 anos que só fala merda se comporta como um adolescente. folgado, preguiçoso, quem quer um homem desses? fico triste pela pp que vai ter que reabilitar esse estrume. então, pra mim, não vale a pena continuar essa leitura.

Arrogant, cocky and at times seemingly heartless, Hawk McQuaid is not the kind of man Addison should fall for, ever. Sometimes though, life puts you in places when you need to be there, even if you don’t realize it at first. Addy becomes so much more than a nanny to Hawk’s unexpected, and inconvenient daughter, she becomes an inspiration that allows him to unlock the part of himself no one has ever known. A story about two people who don’t like one another much, but decide to put aside that dislike for the sake of a newborn. They each mature in their own ways as they discover what truly makes them happy and whole.

Hawk is very hard to like
The storyline and details were interesting, but Hawk is incredibly difficult to like or find redeeming qualities in. His motivation and intentions for 3/4 of the book are pretty terrible, and falling in love with someone simply isn’t enough to make all his terrible personality traits and choices okay. Addy is pretty great, but her falling for him when he was still such a dirtbag is hard to reconcile. If he wasn’t such a jerk it would’ve been an enjoyable read, but how far it went into him being a total *eggplant emoji* put a bitter taste to the whole book.
