Ever since Will came out, I have been waiting for Calvin and Micah's story. And it is finally here. 

Calvin is a bulldozer but also a caretaker. He may go all in fast, but he is the kind of man that if he sees something he wants he will do everything in his power to get it. At the same time he is well aware that the speed he is using can be irrational and scary but also exhilarating. 

I fell in love with Micah when we first met him in Will. He had an innocence about him paired with steel, that makes you sit up and notice. In this book, when we meet him he is at his wits end and he just wants to be taken care of for once in his life. Meeting Calvin soothes his soul in a way that is hard to explain for those who haven't read the book yet.

They fall so naturally into the daddy/boy part of the relationship that you forget that they just met. And the instant pull and attraction between them is something that feels a little bit too good to be true, like it was magic that these two met and everything just fell into place. 

But what makes it more “real” is the fact that Kerry makes her characters doubt themselves and what they are doing. And also make them cautious in proceeding with getting what they really want. I think that is so clever!

Because it gives the reader both “love at first sight” and the agony of a slow burn. The story also gives you all the growing pains of a new relationship and the fact that not everything is perfect and that trust has to be earned and not just given. It centers itself in being magical but also realistic. 

I enjoyed the instant connection and then the “wait, stop, what are we doing” aspect of Calvin and Micah’s story. It makes you root for them. 

This may be a slow burn but the heat is hot and Calvin and Micah together, insert smirk!
