Didn't fully hit the mark

Book 5 of the Varsity Dads series follows Roxy & Billy who we have met in previous books. Roxy found out she was pregnant thanks to her cheating ex in the last book, in this one Billy steps up and to the outside world pretends to be the baby daddy to help Roxy out and during that time their friendship turns into more.

Initially I was loving this book, it was giving me exactly what I was looking for, it had great humour, the friendship connection between them was strong, they were supportive of each other, especially Billy with Roxy he didn't bat an eye at going with her to appointments and standing up to her dad for her etc, then at some point in the story it was like the author decided to give him a personality transplant and he went from openly communicating with Roxy to being closed off and secretive which just didn't work for me. I do think this book did an excellent job of portraying how difficult things between partners can get after having a baby, how the sleepless nights, work/school schedules etc, learning to navigate life with a whole new person in it and the hormonal changes a woman goes through alongside the physicality of giving birth can all have an impact on the strength and intimacy of a relationship and how if you don't communicate it can become a big problem.

I was also expecting more from the story when it came to Roxy's ex Ezra and I honestly think her dad owed Billy a bigger apology and acknowledgement than he gave him. Overall I liked the book it just lost it's way a bit for me towards the end and didn't deliver what I hoped. Ruby Corazon was a new narrator to me and I really enjoyed her performance, Alexander Cendese was great as always. 🌶🌶
