I think this might be my favorite of the series.
Jamie & Fallon
Former playboy turned single dad in a blink of an eye and he stepped into fatherhood with ease. He always seemed so easy going with an it is what it is attitude in previous books, so I liked that he really stepped up at the pub, too, and took over managing it while his parents were away.
Fallon was so sweet and so good with baby, Asher, too. I hate how she was so hard on herself not being able to keep a job, but what she ended up doing in the end just felt perfect for her.
I felt their relationship developed at a nice pace and did not feel rushed. 3rd act breakup for the birds as they usually are.
If you’ve read my reviews on this series before ~ I’m happy to report that meddling mom, Kate, has really tamed down. She only made a couple of appearances and not until the end and barely meddled.
Another delightful addition to the series. Up next is Patrick’s story. I’ve smelt this set up for a while and I’m excited the author is going to give us a different trope.

Book blurb:
There isn’t anyone in Laurel Bay he hasn’t been able to charm.
But charming a baby is a whole different story.
Life has never been better for Jamie Donovan. But then again,it’s always has been good to him. And now that it’s his turn to take charge of the family pub, he truly feels like everything in his life is just the way it’s supposed to be. Or it was until an early morning knock on his door ended with a baby on his doorstep. The man who can normally charm his way out of any situation doesn’t know the first thing about taking care of a baby and running a business. And so he turns to his siblings for help.
And once they tell him their solution, he wishes he’d never asked for help.
Fallon Murphy has always prided herself on being good with people. In all her life, she’s only met one person she hasn’t been able to get along with. Unfortunately, their parents are best friends and avoiding him just wasn’t a choice. When his sister calls stating an emergency, the last thing Fallon expects is to find an abandoned baby – one that belongs to Jamie. As much as she’d love nothing more than to see Jamie fail at something, she would never put an innocent child at risk.
They’re rivals.
Sworn enemies.
And now…roommates.
Can one small baby help turn adversaries into lovers? Or maybe even…a family?
