Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Hiring the woman who wrecked me to nanny the kid I just found out I have is a dumb idea. Getting naked with her in the back of my truck is even dumber. But old habits die hard. Amelia Fox was my high school sweetheart, the girl who broke my heart and nearly ended my football career nine years ago. It was all I could do to put one foot in front of the other, much less make a comeback. But I did come back. And I’m not about to let go of everything I fought for just because my world is imploding again. When I find out I’m the father of a two-year-old boy, I’m ready to start my final season in the pros. It’s my last chance to nab the championship I promised my dad I’d win before he died. Enter Amelia: teacher, toddler whisperer, and—oh yeah—my ex-girlfriend. We haven’t spoken in almost a decade, but I’m desperate, and she’s looking for a job. I need to focus, which means I need help with this kid. Which means I need her. The arrangement works until one night of bad decisions and great sex threatens to ruin everything. Can we make it work this time around? Or is she just another bad habit I need to break before she breaks me?

    4 freaking stars for little man, Liam!!! I really wanted to give it 5 stars really truly, because I love the way Amelia interacted and handled Liam so well my heart might burst. But, then third break-up act happens and Rhet being a douchebag who couldn't decide what his heart wants even he's clearly feeling it happens, so yeah, I guess 4 stars would comply.

    Despite it all, I really love the couple. Rhett and Amelia was my second fav couple so far. And Amelia happens to be my most fav fmc so far as well (sorry Annabel). I also admire how Rhett act so natural around Liam. The three of them would make a perfect little cute family, and when it happens in the epilogue my heart is combust, I couldn't feel happier. They may not have a strong chemistry as another couple, and their banter may not be too intense either. But based on how well they work together and take such wonderful care of Liam, it appears that they have a good rekindle connection and bond.

    We might only get a teeny tiny bit glimpse of Milly's side of story. But I do still feel curious, nonetheless. I thoroughly wanted to know where the author would lead us in the next book as well. So yeah! On to the final book we go! I will unquestionably read Southern Bombshell right after this!
