My review:
I don’t think technically part of a named series, but I suggest readingĀ He Loves Me, He Loves Me NotĀ first because those characters play a role in this installment.
Brooks & Mercy
Well it seems like I have another single dad that I love. Brooks was so adorable with 6 year old, Alijah. There’s just something about fathers and daughters that gets me in the feels.
Mercy was such a fun character despite her traumatic past. Always honest and is just out with whatever comes to her mind. I’m not always fun to be around, but I’m surely honest and sometimes speak before I think so I can relate to her.
Having already whomped it up a few years prior they do know each other intimately, but this time around Brooks is the one that wants to take it slow with the ‘3 date rule’ ~ how refreshing is that? And it’s not like they had their dates in quick succession either, they went days and days and maybe a week once without seeing each other like there was no rush and they had the rest of their lives for fate to do its thing.
I love how the author collided their worlds in 2 different ways, plus we have Brooks’ interesting ex wife that brings a little pizzazz to their story. All side characters were pretty great, except the one who is not supposed to be and boy was he a doozie.
Overall, I had a fun and delightful time reading this.

Book blurb:
Mercy Alexander doesnāt believe in love, let alone love at first sight.
Thereās one sure fire way of steering clear of heartbreak, and thatās not to get your heart involved in the first place. So what is that irritating flutter she feels every time she sees Brooks Hudson, and why is she finding him so hard to ignore?
Brooks Hudson canāt understand where heās going wrong.
Doting single father to six-year-old Ali, supportive co-parent with his ex, much-loved friend and respected colleague, not to mention heās smoking hot. So why is he constantly being dumped, told in no uncertain terms heās ātoo niceā? Since when was being nice a crime?
Mercy is in serious need of someone to restore her faith in men, and Brooks needs a girl he likes to stick around long enough for him to believe in love again. But when Mercyās past threatens to remind her of everything sheās scared of, will love be enough to save the day?
