Book Review: The Path to Loving Him by Meghan Quinn

I had so much fun reading this. I couldn't get enough of these fantastic characters, the forced proximity, and all the heat! The Path to Loving Him was a hit!

The Path to Loving Him (Almond Bay #3) by Meghan Quinn

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a new forced proximity, single dad romantic comedy. This steamy, laugh out loud, enemies-to-lovers, small town standalone romance delivers the perfect happily ever after.

What does one do when they completely blow an interview?
If you're me, you pick up a one-night stand with the most gorgeous man you've ever seen..

That's right, after a lousy interview that could have changed everything for me, I headed over to the local small town bar to sulk when the one man I shouldn't want walked in. And when my friend convinced me to take him back to my hotel room, I didn't think about it, I just did it . . . well, I did him.

It was an unforgettable night, but I didn't stay for breakfast. Instead, I got out of there and tried not to think about him again.

Everything was fine until I received a call from the interviewer saying I got the job as the assistant baseball coach at Almond Bay High. I'd be working directly under the one and only Ryland Rowley--my one-night stand.

Now, I'm not only working with him but renting the apartment above his garage. And I have to deal with the fact that he's the man I dream about and can't have while not letting my attraction get in the way of keeping the harmony between us. Sounds easy, doesn't it?

It should have been, except the plan falls apart when my shower breaks, and night after night I have to slip into his house to use the bathroom only to find him in the kitchen, staring me down with those hungry, single dad eyes.

4 out of 5 stars

The Path to Loving Him was seriously entertaining and sexy fun! I had a blast reading it. I loved Ryland and Gabby's off-the-charts chemistry, Ryland’s relationship with his adorable niece, and all the emotional moments that were mixed in.

Ryland and Gabby were fantastic characters, I loved the instant connection they had, it was on fire! I liked learning about them and what drove them. I liked Ryland and his sometimes grumpy self, and I adored how much love he had for his niece who he had custody of, this man made me swoon. Gabby was so hard-working and determined, they were both the ultimate caregivers. They had great flirty, banter. I liked them getting to know one another and their growing feelings, even though they were fighting them. The sexual tension was high between these two which created a lot of entertaining scenes that had me smiling. When it came to the heat, these two were scorching. There was also a good amount of emotion and a bit of drama rounding things out creating some heartfelt moments.

I really liked the characters involved, Ryland’s sisters are awesome. I loved the text threads they all had together making me laugh. Gabby’s friend Bower cracked me up and I thought her brother was sweet. The steeler of the show though was Mac, Ryland’s cute niece. Every special moment between Ryland and Mac had me melting. This is the third book in the Almond Bay series and it can be read as a standalone, which is what I did. After meeting all these wonderful characters, I want to go back and read the first two books in the series as well.

This was a great story that gave me all the feels. It was a super fun read full of heart and spice. A winner for sure!
