Author: Melanie Harlow
Narrators: Sebastian York and Lucy Rivers
Millie McAllister thinks she’s cursed: her last three boyfriends found their forever love right after they broke up. She’s still friends with all of them and she’s even the wedding planner for the last one, who’s about to get married to the girl she introduced him to. Her sisters think she needs to go out more and meet people, so while in NYC on business, she decided to put on the red lipstick and head to the hotel bar. Too bad she attracted a creep. That’s when the older, super hot, bearded stranger she had her eye on comes to the rescue. They end up having a scorching one night stand and, even though he left her his card, Millie doesn’t think there will be a chance for them to meet again. Well, that’s until he’s introduced to her as her ex’s dad at the rehearsal dinner!
Zach Barrett had no idea he had fathered a child and he’s trying to navigate this new fatherhood when he sees the woman he can’t stop thinking about and she’s his son’s ex! F*ck my life…
I absolutely adored this book! It had been a while since I read a Melanie Harlow and this one one is soooooo good!
I loved that Millie is a very secure plus size woman but issues that plus size women go through are very present in the story. Zach is one tall drink of yummy silver fox! The age gap is not bad (She’s 32, he’s 47) and I just love them together and I rooted for them all the time.
I’m a sucker for series and interconnected stories and this one is even interconnected with Corinne Michaels’s books, as Zach works for Cole Security and Jackson and his family make several appearances! Loved it!
Narration: I had already adored the story when I finally listened to this audiobook, I was in auditory heaven. Casting was key here. We all know that Sebastian York is a powerhouse and can do anything, but when he’s cast in the perfect role, a role that is tailor-made for his deep and commanding voice, it’s perfection. No one could do a better Zach. It’s swoon worthy. I love Lucy Rivers and she brings the sassiness and the vulnerability you expect from Millie. Pick the audiobook, even if you, like me, have read the book. You will thank me later!
