Literally…THE BEST OF ALL
To say that this was one of the best slow burn I’ve ever read is an understatement.
A good slow burn that creates the best sexual tension, longing looks, accidental touches and pining, oh man this book has it all and more!
A definite must read, be sure to add to your TBR immediately if you love a good slow Burn !
Ok let’s get into the details..
Liam the protagonist, the big grumpy British football athlete who secretly had a crush on his bestfriends friend and neighbor the beautiful Zoe, the one he loves to hate or so it would seem.
He’s been in love with her for years but because of childhood trauma he feels that having a family is not in the cards for him.
Zoe Valentine the beautiful nerdy FMC with a sunshiny personality who cannot help but feel antagonistic towards this grumpy Britt who loves to rile her up!
The only thing Zoe knows about Liam is how much he dislikes her, or so she thought.
But sadly,they both will be thrown together in the most heartbreaking way, this moment will test their resolve and their lives will never be the same.
Becoming co-parents both Liam and Zoe had no say in the matter whatsoever, little Mira this bundle of cuteness would become their entire world.
Zoe was immediately in loved with little Mira but it was Liam who will take time to come around to the rambunctious smart and Duck loving Mira the cutest 2 1/2 yr old,
“I hold you?” Mira asked.
But that beautiful little girl tears down the walls Liam had erected and while his hard facade crumbled, Zoe takes notice that Liam is not the grump she thought he was.
But listen ….when this Dirty talking Britt begins to open up
And she starts to reciprocate, this is when the sexual tension heats up but so does the most romantic date ever.
This man … he wanted to do things right by not rushing Zoe, after all whats a day compared to the years he spent waiting and wanting her !
And boy was it worth the wait!.
Liam’s confession was stunning and his vulnerability was oh so heart achingly beautiful, and when Zoe, realized she wants Liam too? it’s was everything!
“It’s even worse when you realize the person you want to be with has been in front of you the entire time.”
This story drew an emotional reaction from me that was also in part due to Mira, the little person who came in their lives at the opportune time.
That was what Zoe didn't understand.
All she had to do all she'd ever had to do— was simply be there.
That was all it took, and I was desperately, impossibly inflamed.
What I loved about this book is how much they all loved each other from beginning. From Liam’s Resistance to the way how he patiently waited for her to choose him…And the way how Zoe try to understand Liam’s hesitations towards becoming a family and never question his confessions about his feelings towards her. Also the family dynamic they build together unknowingly.
💖
I haven’t read a book by Karla before, But this one she wrote with this cute kid and the way Liam loves his mom and his incredible interactions with her coupled with the family and friends dynamics, settles something deep down in my heart!
Definitely read this book if you love
