Once again, we have a fabulous couple. Eilish lost a lot when she chose to raise her son. She lost her trust fund and familial support (with this exception of the awesome Sean). Yes, she lost a lot, but she came out on the other side a much stronger person. I loved her commitment to her son, her pluck, and her sense of humor. As another single mother by choice, I was able to relate to Eilish, and adored the way her love for her son radiated from the page. Our hero quickly wormed his way into my heart. First and foremost, this was his opportunity to redeem himself, and I love me a redemption story. He had so many good qualities too. His commitment to his mother showed that he would not abandon the ones he loved, and would support them no matter what their life choices. He was just an "all-in" kind of guy. The way he quickly accepted Patrick as his own and jumped in with both feet made my heart swell, and I could not get enough of him trying to woo Eilish. **sigh**

@THEBryanLeech to @ECassChoosesPickachu: You are. Aways.
Reid and Cosway always bring the fun. This book is packed with laughs and great banter. The characters all have these fun quirks, and I looked forward to finding out what a particular characters peculiarity was going to be. Container store love? Kid sized tuxes? Birdwatching, mint tea, and fur lined slippers? All sorts of fun little idiosyncrasies.
She laughed. "He doesn't like the term 'babysitter'. He prefers 'child haute couture consultant.'"
Speaking of Sean, he was a total rock in the book. He was there for Eilish and Patrick each and every time in big and small ways. I think I smiled during every single one of his scenes. His meddling was wonderful, and I just adored him. I have to admit, the males really stood out in this book. I found their camaraderie entertaining, and like seeing men having meaningful exchanges too.
Confession: I messed up. I read this book thinking it was book 2. So now I need to read book 2, Sean's book, but it by no way hampered my enjoyment of this book, as these are true companions.
Overall: A fun and engaging story filled with lovable characters and lots of laughs.
