Change of Plans by Dylan Newton
3.0
Note: I prefer clean/closed door/sweet romantic comedy and was initially unaware of the content in this story. I do not recommend this book to my followers. Please see the content note below regarding my rating of this book. I found the explicit and open-door content to be unnecessary and distracting but have reviewed the book based on its story merit, not content.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Frazzled, Chef Aunt Raising Three Nieces · Former Marine with PTSD and a Cute. Hero Complex · A Custody Battle · Teenage Attitude and Child Drama · Happily Ever After · A Sweet, Fluffy Dog
This romantic comedy grabbed me in the first couple of chapters and didn’t let go! I loved the tension and drama surrounding Bryce, a chef who’s left her career and life behind to care for her recently orphaned three young nieces. Each child, aged 5, 8 and 12, brings a different flair to the story and it’s easy to see how Bryce is overwhelmed as she helps her nieces navigate their grief while dealing with her own. Bryce’s character is strong, resilient and bright. At times, I thought her attitude was a little harsh, but she’s doing the best she can in a hard situation.
Enter Rhyker, a reclusive former Marine who’s lost his leg, his military career and his ability to stay in large groups of people. He’s the perfect balance of calm, quiet and hero that Bryce and the girls need. I loved his character and his inner arguments and thought processing. He’s sweet and thoughtful, making his attempts and actions swoonworthy.
Their romance is cute, rewarding and smile-worthy. I ADORED the ending of this story and found it to be simply heartwarming and sweet!
Overall, I really wish the book had not contained the explicit scenes and the crude content as it was distracting, unnecessary and gave an otherwise cute story a sense of being trashy.
Content: Rated R. Contains an open door, consensual love scene midbook and detailed, explicit romantic content and states of undress. Also contains swearing (including the F word), foul and crude language and innuendo.
Triggers: PTSD, Amputee/Loss of Leg, Death of a Loved One, Custody Battle
