ALL THE FEELS!!!! If there is ever a book or story that makes you believe in fate or love at first sight, then this is it for me! Elijah and Beatrix meet at a speed dating mixer and decide to meet afterward. Not realizing that Elijah is on the spectrum, when he starts to ask some weird questions, she decides to cut her losses and just walk away. They are then thrown back into each other\u2019s space when she, a plumber, ends up at Elijah\u2019s house to fix his bathroom faucet. She is with Elijah when he gets the call that his cousin is about ready to pass and Beatrix accompanies him to the hospital. Chloe, his cousin, just knows that she is the one and these two are going to be the best parents for her child. The only problem is, these two literally just met! However, the chemistry, not just sexual, is there and it gets intense. They just calm each other\u2026they just fit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChloe was right. Fate had played a part in her introduction and subsequent meeting with Eli, but this child was the catalyst \u2013 not romance, love, or even sexual attraction. The interaction with him been a means to an end. Only Eve mattered \u2013 and Chloe passing from the world knowing someone would cherish her baby.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA plumber and an English professor walk into a marriage for the wrong reason. And baby makes three. There\u2019s a bad joke if I ever heard one. A deep breath didn\u2019t calm the butterflies in her stomach. And I\u2019m gonna do it anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One takeaway I have from this story is that average is boring! Parenting means making sacrifices and falling in love has no guarantee of a happily-ever-after, but these two are truly meant to be. Life isn\u2019t always fair but it doesn\u2019t have to be. However, when your instinct takes over and you know you found your person, you will truly be happy.<\/p>\n<p>Please pick up this book. It is an incredible story with ALL THE FEELS!<\/p>\n<p>I received a copy of this book from Booksprout in exchange for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/amzn-author-media-prod\/van82dh2c0th4d0ke5gtu8l6p._SX300_CR0%2C0%2C300%2C300_.jpg\" alt=\"Mellanie Szereto profile image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mellanie Szereto is the USA Today Bestselling Author of over fifty romcoms and contemporary romances, most with characters who have plenty of life experience like herself.
