Spoilers ahead


Omfg!!! 😂😂😂😂

Ok ok, adult review now

I'm sorry I can't

😂😂😂😂😂😂

WTF!??!?


Ok so the H convinced his band mates to come wuuth him to Maine(I think it was Maine I can't remember). He's lost his writing mojo and just wants to recapture the peace and happiness he'd found there 5 years before. He once again runs into the girl he couldn't forget, not even so many years later

The h is in town to visit her father with her brother and daughter, she's stunned to see the only man she's ever loved and though the connection is as strong as ever, she's kept a big secret from him for years


*********
First of all I'm a sucker for unexpected baby romances but absolutely NOT in this format. What the h did was wrong, keeping a child from her father based on what SHE THINKS she knows is a selfish decision, unfair both to the father and the child.

Now the bones
These 2 met and became friends 5 years previously, the H's super model girlfriend had just broken up with him, the press was hounding him so he gave her a wrong name. They built a friendship over the summer and then she confessed she'd been attacked. In an effort to help her recover she asks him to have sex with her. Him, a famous manwhoring rockstar took her at her word when she said she had birth control covered(this was so stupid) . They hook up and he eventually leaves.
Now THIS is where things get dramatic just for the sake of drama
The h writes him a letter confessing her love shortly after he left, he RECEIVES the letter but though he feels strongly for her he doesn't RESPOND! Instead he goes back to manwhoring for 2 years, frequently rereading her letter, then he calls and her father says something that makes him think she had a man....then back to the manwhoring for some more years until he lost his muse. He saw her and they were kissing immediately. After 5 years where his trash mouth was all fucking over she's melting for him. Gahhhhh
Anywho the secret baby comes out, he's hurt and angry but forgives her because ya know he's loved her all along. We get a cringey portion where he's suddenly all in with this woman HE HASN'T SEEN in 5 years!!!!! She's cautious and timid but he knows what he wants this time around sometimes
I saw the drama coming a mile away but they eventually, after much Fucking back and forth, lack of communication and pulling away, have their HEA

Now for the h
When she met the h she was broken up with her on again and off again boyfriend. She'd been attacked the year before and just wanted some of her power back. When the H left and she eventually confessed her love she was devasted that he didn't respond. Then she found out she was pregnant, her ex and dad said some harsh words so she moved in with her brother. Now 2 years after giving birth she found out the H's true identity. Yet she didn't think to get her lawyer brother to help her track him down, nope she just went on with her life.
It takes her running into him to get the truth out so apparently she'd never planned to tell the child much less the H the truth. Obvi I didn't like her ass

Anyways the real MVPS of this book were her brother Adam, a genuinely lovely man who went ALL out for his stupid weak sister. We actually get a mini romance(at least I thought it'd be)between Adam and Ethan who works with the band. I had really hoped to get a HEA for them.
Second MVP was the adorable Vivi

The mcs can both suck it with their weak, cowardly asses


Second chance -ish
H was a manwhore during separation and of course before,
h was a born again virgin(FFS)
Tiny OW drama
Small OM drama



***that birth control shit was as cringey as the plot😂
