This book is a reverse age gap, single dad romance. Jonah met Sophie on New Year’s Eve and they had an amazing night together. Unfortunately the next day he found out his brother and sister in law died, and he was now responsible for his niece Vivi (who he calls Wildflower). They had planned to meet for dinner after their night but in light of the tragedy he forgot to contact her. Two years later they reconnect when Vivi sprains her ankle and they visit the doctor which is what Sophie is. Now these two seem to keep running into each other. Vivi really likes Sophie and invites her to her dance recital. Although Jonah asks Sophie out she admits she’s seeing someone although she is casually dating another doctor. After he and the doctor agreed to move on her friend set her and Jonah up to be at her beach house for a few days so that they can get to know each other better. The romance between them is very sweet and Jonah is definitely a cinnamon roll guy. He is such a great uncle/dad to his niece. He is loving and considerate and he even does a mini grovel to Sophie about not contacting her after the death of his brother. Sophie was a little wishy washy for my tastes. They had mutual friends she could have called and found out what happened and I also had some issues with how she treated the doctor she was seeing. This book will make you tear up some and make you feel good it was a very romantic. I’m anticipating reading about the remaining football players and watching them fall in love too.
