Note: I did purchase this book with my own money to read and enjoy for my own pleasure. 

Description: 

You’ve heard the story about the wedding planner who falls for the groom?

Well, this is the one where she falls for his father.

And that groom? He’s my ex.

I didn’t realize who the gruff, gorgeous older man was the night he rescued me from a creep in a Manhattan hotel. All I knew was that a hot, bearded stranger with a protective streak showed up right when I needed a reminder that real gentlemen still exist.

(Although he left his manners behind after asking me up to his room.)

It was the hottest night of my life, but I never thought I’d see the former Navy SEAL again.

Imagine my surprise at the rehearsal dinner one week later, when my handsome stranger is introduced as the father of the groom. Even more surprising? What we felt in New York was no fluke.

In public, we pretend there’s nothing between us.

In private, we can’t keep our hands off each other.

The situation is beyond complicated. Zach never even knew he’d fathered a child until recently, and he wants to earn his son’s trust and respect. As for me, I’m looking for a man who wants to start a family, and Zach has made it clear he’s not that man. He’s older, newly divorced, and he lives across the country.

But no matter how many times we draw the line, we keep crossing it.

Nothing so wrong should ever feel so right.

My Thoughts:

I loved it!! I honestly could not put it down. I did finish it in one day but it was so worth it!! There was drama and chaos going on but I was there for it! I am the type of person that enjoys books where I can yell or scream at the characters as I read and this was one of those books for me. This was the first SPICY book I have read and it will not be the last!!! new section coming to the blog!! overall loved the story.

My Rating: ★★★★★ Must have

10AM

It’s my mom’s birthday and I feel like crap. My head feels like it’s gonna explode!! I don’t know what is going on with me. My arms are killing me and my bones. My mom is going to make fish tacos so I should stop stalling and shower and get things ready for tonight. Let’s hope my head doesn’t blow…

Day 9: a song you can dance to

( I don’t dance)

10PM

So moms dinner went good except for the crying baby and my head almost exploding. Patty and the bestie came over with my babies and the tubby got his face smashed into the cake. I think it was the highlight of my day. Church tomorrow and I gotta see if my mom could drop me off early. I should go to bed as soon as these kids leave. I need the rest.

10AM

So one kid shows up at 6am and I couldn’t wake up so my mom had to greet him and let him into the house. At about 8am is when I woke up and waited for my babies to show up since I was watching them today and not their usual sitter. Also, in a couple of hours the other two will arrive. I am looking at a full day with kids. We’ll see how today goes. I think we’re going to church later but not sure.

Day 8: A song that you know all the words to

Perro Viejo by Juanes

10PM

So, all but two kids have left. I was not able to go to church because my babies were picked up late and I was not gonna make it on time for anything. I haven’t cried today which I count as a victory at least in this last week. I honestly do not know why I feel like this. At this point I know it isn’t about that lady. I don’t know why I’m depressed. I guess I should be happy that I haven’t had any thoughts about just being dead. I still can’t help but feel weird. I hope it goes away soon but luckily I can always turn to my first love which is music.

Day 7:  A song that reminds you of an event

Bendecido by Juanes

1AM

So we made it home kinda late and after trying to relax a bit I decided to write. I should be asleep because I’ll have 5 kids tomorrow and I know that I will be tired!! So today wasn’t as bad. The only kid that was having tantrums was Emanuel because he didn’t want to wait in line. The baby was fussy too but she’s a baby so it is expected. I’m tired and hopefully I don’t die tomorrow. I still feel kinda poopy. It doesn’t seem to go away.

We'll see how my brain is doing. excited and nervous about this appointment since she'll have my MRI results.

Day 5: A song that reminds you of someone

My Lighthouse by Rend Collective

10PM

Well after neuro we went to eat at Emanuel's house and planned out to go to Knott's on Thursday instead. I went to church and today's lesson without planning was about being attacked by people but being sure of who you are and that God also knows you. I definitely believe that God has been talking to me lately. My brain is ok. My lesions seem to be getting smaller which is good. Yay!!

Since I haven't been feeling all that great I missed when Abel showed up. I still feel sluggish but I know that I need to get over it. Imma have my coffee and just try not to think of anything. I want to clear my mind.

Some spanish song always made me cry I don't know the name tho.

Pretty chill day, kinda! Planning a trip to Knotts for Wednesday! Hopefully it's fun but if not I'm taking headphones to block people out. I'm really not a people person but no one seems to understand that. Still bummed but hoping it gets better. Neuro tomorrow!!!
