I read this because it was floating around bookstagram for a long time with many positive reviews. Turns out it was the most emotionally mature romance I've ever read. Rafe is the ultimate cinnamon roll template. But he also has lots of tattoos and rides a motorcycle. Sloan is a strong and ideal parent who balances her work and mom life. Seriously, the emotional intelligence is running wild in this story. What I liked was that they wanted to hold space for each other and make their relationship on realistic terms and expectations. And thankfully NO MISCOMMUNICATION. It was nice that the twin girls reflected real children, too. They acted age appropriate (for geniuses) and were adorable in their scenes. I had made the assumption that this book would be mega steamy and there was a lot of sex scenes considering how short it was. But, the emotional discussions were often more developed and longer than the steamy scenes. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the Loose Ends series.

This book tells the story of the life I want to live my god. Sloan is the woman I wish I could be and Rafe is the man of my dreams. I have never wanted to read a book immediately after finishing it but I'm ready to clear my schedule and re-read this. I think this is my favorite romcom of all time and the more I think about it, the more I love it.
