Another awesome story by Tracey Alvarez! Book one was fantastic, with just the right mix of romance, fun, angst and steam to ensure a great reading experience and book hangover afterwards. I wasn’t sure what to expect next, because when you end up loving the first book by a new author, you also end up having high expectations for the next one. I’m happy to say Tracey didn’t disappoint me. Ben and Kezia’s story is just as great as West and Piper’s was (In Too Deep). At first I have to admit I was caught off guard when the bomb was dropped on Ben in the very first chapter – how could he, a grumpy and a little selfish womanizer, take care of an eight-year-old? Well, this turns out to be the source for the funniest moments in the book and it completely changed the opinion of Ben I had from the first book. Daddy Ben is hilarious. I laughed out loud during most of the interactions between him and his daughter, and when a puppy enters the scene, things got even funnier.I loved the chemistry between Kezia and Ben, and how becoming a dad so suddenly changed Ben’s life for the better, making him realize the important things, especially as far as relationships are concerned.Kezia is a fantastic heroine. She’s strong, caring and selfless, always putting her daughter’s happiness and well-being first even if this means getting over her attraction for Ben.The two little girls are amazing. I loved Zoe in the first book, and I got even fonder of her in this one; Jade, Ben’s daughter, is super cute and I loved how she turned from a shy and scared little thing into a happy, carefree girl.I was happy Piper and West were still part of the story, and I liked Shaye’s parts too (Ben’s sister).I’m looking forward to reading more about these great characters and I hope there’ll be many more books in the Due South series, because I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to let go of my favourite kiwi boyfriends!***I was gifted a copy by the author in exchange for an honest review***
