i guess the apple did fall far from the tree sometimes. how come the Eden daddy make me feel for him through these measly pages more than the Eden chii guess the apple did fall far from the tree sometimes. how come the Eden daddy make me feel for him through these measly pages more than the Eden children ever could in their individual full length novel?? Harrison is officially my favorite Eden. i dont remember how he was in his kids books, but he simply seemed more ‘alpha� or more ‘man� than any of the Eden brothers. he has a playful/flirty side, but hes the type who knows what he wants and goes after it. hes responsible, and hes such a family man. ahh i adore him. �
the romance in this novella is a second chance. it surprised me that i didnt mind it. something about the story felt straightforward or to the point. the MCs broke up when they were in high school over a conflict that seemed silly or trivial (the h’s virginity). the H never knew the reason he was dumped until they reunited in this short story six years later. i appreciated how the H admitted to being a dumbass and immediately apologized. something about him realizing his past mistake, taking responsibility of it, and conquering what he wanted (the h) speak volume about his character. i love that....more

This was a bad idea, and I guess me being jaded had something to do with that. I don’t want to get too much into it except to say that:
- Lucy was sarcastic and funny, but she was also hella annoying. - It wasn’t insta love, but both Adam and Lucy jumped into the relationship a little too quickly for my liking considering Lucy’s just recently broken up and Adam had just finished his divorce. - There’s a lot going on in their personal lives that I’d appreciate if they sorted themselves out first before getting all hot and heavy with each other. - Jamieson (Lucy’s ex) wasn’t as bad as she made him out to be, and I honestly didn’t like how he was treated. - Why is the conflict with Adam’s ex wife at the end suddenly fixed without any proper explanation? She was horrible, and I want justice for my baby boy! - There is nothing going on in the first book, and although there’s certainly so much drama in this, it wasn’t much better. - I found out that the humor and the writing in this was just not for me. It’s sort of like a case of narrative intrusion where Lucy would address readers with “you� as if she were talking to them. I didn’t like it.
In my defense, I never was a fan of Hollywood celebs romances and I was only here for the five year old Aiden who stole my heart.
