Favorite Quotes:

“Look, maybe you could refrain from referring to me as the mother of your children.” “Sure, no prob.” He’s quiet a moment as we stride toward the entrance. “You prefer babymama?” “Absolutely not.” “Bio- mom?” “What? No. That sounds like hazardous waste.”

“I’m assuming you’re not a fan of me calling you the glorious maiden swelling with the fruit of my loins?” I try not to dignify that with a response, but an unladylike snort slips out. Luke takes the cue to keep going. “Birthgiver sounds kinda alien to me, but I’m good with it if you are.” “I’m not.”

Good and bad are rarely black and white. Shades of gray make up much of our moral code. Sometimes a lie is a kindness. Honorable, even.

My Review:

Going in, I didn’t think I was going to care for Hazel as she had been such an icy snob in the previous installments, but this clever wordsmith is far too nice to leave someone out in the cold and soon made me a believer that Hazel was worth the effort. As an additional concern, I’m not a fan of pregnancy tropes, as in not at all, but I didn’t mind this one as the witty humor and budding romance of opposites took center stage in the storylines, and I trust this author to turn out a golden top-shelf tale with delectable steamy bits and minimal angst. She hasn’t failed me yet!
