Awwww, John ... he's such a big softie! I'm pretty new to this series with only reading Evan's book and now John's, so I'd say my background knowledge of him was very little. I just remember the scene where the cutest little baby showed up on his doorstep essentially gaining the new title of new dad. Since then, I've been waiting to get my hands on his story! This was such an endearing read and I enjoyed every single bit of it.
I loved that we got to witness two sides of John. He's dedicated to his B&B making sure his guests are happy and that keeps him plenty busy. And then we see him taking the role of father so easily especially after the circumstances of how he gained beautiful little Maize. It has definitely been a while since I've read a good single father/nanny romance, they tend to be a bit corny, but I was all about John and Mila's story. The other side of John that I enjoyed seeing was his much softer one, not just as a father, but also when it came to his devotion to Mila and seeing his flashbacks of when he was with Maize's mom. With his hard exterior and someone who takes his responsibilities seriously, I loved seeing his vulnerable side.
