A swoony, loving, quieter love story than the first two in the series featuring the quiet, sturdy goalie and the dog-loving mom finding each other at exactly the right time.

Big emotional stakes (a toddler is involved) and a mistake you see coming but don’t mind because you genuinely want to see how it all pans out.

It’s hard not to like these two and root for them.

It’s hard not to love the antics (silly and supportive) of their friends.

A wonderful read with spice.
