A dark and steamy age-gap romance, spin off from ‘Griffin: My Dads Best Friend’.
This picks off overlapping the ending of Griffin; just after Shelby and Ivy spent the night at Griffins.
The characters we know and love from the last book are involved in this one, which was awesome to get an update on their lives.

Personally I wasn’t much of a fan of Kevin, he could be a bit of an asshole and very hot and cold for poor Shelby. I did love her though, a devoted and loyal friend, (mostly) a badass when it comes to protecting herself and others.
Kevin is a great dad to Ivy and does protect Shelby from everyone and everything except himself…

This book was much darker and tension filled, with the plot a little heavier.
***It could potentially trigger those sensitive to violence, references to/almost rape, drink driving and domestic violence.

Felt a little weird since I had literally just read the last book which is from the pov of his daughter… So I still have him as a dad in my head and that’s not brilliantly fun when reading, especially smut.
But I did get over it!… (mehr)

A fast paced and steamy age-gap romance made all the more complicated by the fact that he’s her dads best friend and she’s his daughter Melody’s nanny…
And on top of all that his ex (and mother of his daughter) has just died suddenly in a car accident, leaving the occasional-weekend-visit dad suddenly a full time single parent.

There’s no way they can be together… He’s just trying to work out raising Melody while working full time on construction, and everyone would hate them.
If things went wrong Griffin would lose his childcare, the woman his daughter looks to in place of her mother and his best friend. It’s too risky. Forbidden.
It would be so much better not to give in to the temptation, but can they resist?

Great style and prose, the writing in this flows really well with realistic and humorous inner monologue from the narrator/main characters. It flits back and forth from the point of view of Griffin and Ivy.

The dialogue runs nicely and all is well written and fluid, although a little more description of physical characteristics of the characters would be better.

Also nice to see that it’s the man wanting more than just sex for once and girls taking control/doing the chasing.
A really sweet sense of family and, even as someone that isn’t a fan of pregnancy/kids, this was a delightful read and Melody is adorable.
I wish it was a little longer and we got some more context and content, but it didn’t feel too rushed or cut off like a lot of shorter stories do.

An enjoyable spicey yet surprisingly sweet read :)… (mehr)
