I really enjoyed this book. It picks up when Bree is 7 months old. Paige is working, going to school and raising her daughter. She has always had the support of her mom, her bestie Erin, Mitch's sister Diane, and her longtime strictly friends only Trent.Mitch is still away at college. He left Georgia when Paige was 10 weeks pregnant and hasnt come back. No calls, nothing.With Diane's conniving, Mitch comes home. The moment he lays eyes on his daughter Bree, he knows he's home for good. Insta-love with his little girl. *sighs*Paige isnt the girl he left behind more than a year ago. She's stronger, she's hurt, she's cautious. Even though he deserves to pay, she wont deny him the chance to be Bree's father.Luckily, there isnt any OTT drama. This was Mitch's chance at redemption. The chance to be a father. The chance to win back the ONLY girl he has ever loved. It's not going to be easy. It's not just Paige he has to win over. It's everyone...including a little girl who doesnt know who he is. And Mitch is up for the challenge.Paige lets him in little by little. And Mitch is loud and clear his intentions to Paige. I absolutely loved that there wasnt any games played. They actually communicated pretty well with each other. Paige was more hesitant, rightfully so, but she did express her feelings to Mitch. How it felt that he left her, left their child."I was so angry because guys have the option to leave or stay but the girl…we don’t have a lot of choices. Not if we’re not willing to have an abortion or give our babies up for adoption.”The conversation they had, when they both broke down, almost broke my heart."When I look up into his face and see the tears spilling over his lashes, the rage drains from me. If it's true that the eyes are the windows to the soul, then Mitch's soul is tortured"Now, at 93% there's a little bomb dropped. No worries, it's nothing Mitch has done, but I gotta say I actually didnt see it coming. And I'm not sure why it was even included so close to the end of the book. I honestly could have done without it, but it didnt spoil the rest of the story. Yes, this is happily wrapped up in a well deserved HEA.
