Bonam-Young, takes readers on a journey where one night can change everything:
Winnifred "Win" McNulty, does not want to be coddled for her limb difference, she is perfectly capable of taking care of herself with a few minor adjustments. When Bo, a stranger to Win, shows up at a Halloween party and beat her pirate costume, a what is supposed to be a one-night stand occurs. But that one-night stand changes everything. Bo surprisingly wants to be involved in all aspects and to help Win out as much as he can or she'll allow and Win does not know if she can handle this new challenge all by herself. Bo and Win decide to get to know each other just as friends, but as they know things do not always go according to plan.
First I have to say that I really like the pun in the title, I don’t think I have seen a better title for a book in a long time, so well done Bonam-Young.
I do not read a lot of contemporary
romance book but I highly recommend this book, it was very wholesome, and it
was all about the building of relationship. You know from the premise that a
supposed to be one night stand turns into a baby happening, which basically
forms the whole basis of the story in trying to build some type of a relationship
because baby is coming and they both want to be part of that baby's life
It was really cute how the two of
them met, pirates nonetheless and you can see that they are very much drawn to
each other right away as they share in their acceptance in the disabilities
that they have. Win who has had her's her whole life and Bo, still learning to
cope with having his leg amputated. I like that Bonam-Young does not make a
"big deal" about the disabilities that each has, they are there and
are a part of the people and who they are but it does not overshadow their other
characteristic and they are not all about their disability.
Bo is very puppy dog, cinnamon
roll, whatever you want to call a good all around guy and super sweet you
just have to fall in love with him. Plus, when you hear all that he has faced
and how he ended up losing his leg, you realize how much this new possible of a
life means to him. Win is just a determined character who charges headfirst in
to life, and doesn’t want to ask for help or be coddled, she is doing fine,
even when maybe she isn't. You have to love her drive and her wants for the
future are amazing and you start to love her as a character as well.
As I said before I have not read
that many contemporary romance books, so i wasn’t sure what to expect, many
seem to have the third act trope, which I am not a fan of, but I was really
happy that this one did not succumb to that.
Fuck me, this
book is a little bit of sunshine and I am 100% here for it. I really loved this
whole story, from characters to the relationship that Win and Bo try to build together,
it just was really solid. Plus Bonam-Young is a Canadian Author so I'm always
happy to support Canadian. I know I will be checking out her other books.
Enjoy!!!!
