I was so excited to read about Tristan since I enjoyed his parents story when he was younger. His parents did an awesome job with him!! He was a single dad and his life revolves around his young 5 year old daughter and his best friend Mason and the gym that he owned. He didn’t have a revolving door of women. He always put everyone else’s needs before his. Then he met Charlie.

When Tristan met the gorgeous brunette at the club he didn’t know exactly how to react towards her. He was attracted to her but didn’t know much about her. But then Mason gave him that push and he pursued her. Charlie was full of sadness. She was running from a husband that abused her physically and mentally; he was the worse. She also was grieving the loss of her 3 year old little girl.

When Lexi, Tristan’s daughter, sees Charlie for the first time at the coffee shop she’s quickly attached to her and that gives Tristan more clarity on what he should do. It wasn’t easy for their relationship to be built. There was lots of miscommunications and misunderstandings between these two but it was cute. When they finally caught on to each other’s feelings Tristan took his time with her. As time passed things got better and better. There were some very sad moments and some very terrifying moments along with moments that will completely piss you off. Tristan is every woman alpha dream guy. He was close to perfect and wanted what his parents have. Charlie was hesitant but followed her heart.

The last couple chapters were not what I was expecting but I kind of had an idea because of some of Charlie’s flashbacks. The epilogue was the most adorable one I’ve ever read. Especially with the things Lexi says about “fishing”, lol.

I can’t WAIT for Mason story, lol. I loved him and his antics are funny but he was extremely good to Tristan and Lexi. True definition of a best friend/brother.
