Read 8 times. Last read September 27, 2022.
Enjoyed this sweet story of past lovers reuniting with a few exceptions. There is a secret child, and others finding long earned happiness. The couple was separated for four years.
But, be aware that this hero, at least to me, appears very immature for his age and thought everything was someone else's fault, especially the ex-love of his life. It took a very good while before he owned up to the responsibility of what he pushed away and his wrong doings. He regretted it for years but only tried to call her twice...I think that says it all!
Safety:
They split after two years together because she wanted some type of commitment from him (she was pregnant and he made it plain he never wanted marriage or a child...so she walked.) During the two years they were both faithful.
There is a major-man-whore alert for this hero. We don't have to witness him sexing other women but believe me, he did and it mattered not who it was. He was a horn-dog of the worst sort.
After these two run into each other again they were not with anyone else.

I was going to reread this series but couldn't do it. I won't read this again.
This is the second question I have found from you today that I never received notification for.
I loved this book and rated it 4 stars too. What you have to remember is that she gave him an ultimatum of marriage and children or she was gone. What he didn't know was that she was already pregnant. He was not ready although they loved each other and were faithful during the two years they were together. She hid the pregnancy from him because she knew that he would marry her but not for the right reasons. They thought about each other while apart for four years but it was a really final break up! They never thought they would see each other again.
He had actually looked for her a few times during the months after the breakup and called her but she wouldn't answer. She did not return the messages but I assumed he did a half-ass job of trying to see her.
By the time he went to find her she had moved. So they had both moved one.
Once he found out about his daughter he still didn't think he could do marriage and family. He was not thrilled to have fatherhood upon him! But then within days he was in love with his little girl.
We don't have to witness either one with anyone else although he was quite the playboy...but didn't really care emotionally about the women he dated. The first time I read it I was thinking it was so-so. I read this yesterday for the third time and each time I read it I understand it and like it better.

Just normally wouldn't give this even one star. I have to read again.
