💭 THE FIRST SIP
Hilarious banter right in the first chapter. You get an immediate comical taste of the wit and sass that fills the pages of my favorite book.
📖 WHAT IT’S ABOUT
Single, independent, head strong perky Paige Carpino’s world collides with divorced, grumpy single dad Cam Montgomery. A fast-paced world wind love story that makes you ask yourself what is the one thing you are not willing to give up even for true love.
“Dadmire – defined by all single women admiring a man who’s hot to begin with, but his hotness quotient increases leaps and bounds by him doing hot dad things. Examples: calling his girl punkin’ pie, his boy buddy and looking like there’s nothing he wants more in this world than the two kids in front of him.”
❤️ WHAT I LOVED
• The banter is unhinged!
• a woman who knows what she wants and stands her ground
• a “Dadmire” + a psycho stalker
• I can’t forget Rosa. The 85-year-old wildcat with all the best advice. “Keep your legs together and your mind on Jesus!”
• “Your idiocy has reached epic heights. You’re the king of the jackwagons, Campbell Montgomery. You’re going to go down in the books as a first class donkey face with a pile of shit on your head.”― Brynne Asher, Athica Lane
🤔 WHAT I DIDN’T LOVE
This is a book I would do anything to have more of. The end was way too quick.
I say that while admitting my favorite late night read is the last 150 pages.
Literally bookmarked for a sleepless night.
☕ FINAL SIP…
Would I recommend it?
