“He has to be ready for it, Jess,” I say, my voice low and quiet. Jesse nods. “I know. It’s just that I’m a fixer, and his broken-ass heart is the one thing I can’t fix.” “No one can,” I say. “I can’t fix his broken heart. He has to be willing to be with me with a whole heart. There’d be pieces missing, and seams and cracks, but offered as a whole. I’m worth more than just taking the screwed up … taking the screwed up mess of him, just to have part. I want more than that—I deserve more. If he can get there, I’ll be here waiting. I’ve got nothing but time, Jess. I’m not going anywhere, and I told him that. I’m willing to wait—because I think he’s worth waiting for.” I smile at Jesse. “If he can get his head out of his ass and work on rebuilding his broken-ass heart, he’ll be worth having waited for.”
Except I’ve already waited so long. For him—for anyone, but especially for him. Endured so much. Spent so long alone, and lonely. And now James is RIGHT THERE, but still out of reach. My heart wants him, my body wants him, but my fears say he’ll only hurt me. And he himself says he’s not sure he’ll ever be able to get over the past—losing his wife. I don’t blame him, but…
How long can I wait? And if he does come around, will it be worth it?

OMG you guys!! This STORY!! The Feels!! So much gut wrenching and heart string pulling feels!! I’m so sad to see this series end, but we FINALLY get the answers to all of our questions for both characters, and more. Definitely a must read again kind of story!!
Love this second chance romance by Jasinda. In fact the whole series has been great.
Jasinda left the best for last! James and Nova were definitely my favorite couple in the series. The intensity of emotions with these characters was great. James is a single dad who lost his wife and is raising his girls on his own. Nova has been pretty closed off about her emotions up until this book. She lost a fiance to cancer and has gone through many other things along the way too. Of course James and Nova have an attraction that they have both been fighting against. Watching them come together as a couple was emotional and so good! Another great series comes to an end for Jasinda Wilder!
This book was everything I was hoping for and so much more. Jasinda Wilder definitely saved the best for last. I’ve fallen in love with this series, with these characters. Nova and James were no exception to that love. I couldn’t believe the reason these two were so hesitant to start a relationship. They had amazing chemistry, but as the truth comes out, my heart broke. It actually shattered, but good grief.
I’m sad to see this series go, but I’m excited about what Jasinda has for us in the future. Check out this amazing series. I promise you will not be disappointed. I loved getting to know Nova and James.
My favourite of the series!
I’ve enjoyed these funny and heated stories with strong, hot construction men and the women who match them toe to toe. Jasinda Wilder writes family and friends with heart and affection, offering another sexy read to savour with the last in the bunch, Jessie and Nova’s story…
Friends to lovers, and so much more, Jessie and Nova, the whole Dad Bod crew, somehow managed to elevate the heat and once again hit me with all the feels. Both had suffered heartbreaking loss and were still dealing with their grief. They were friendly, both acknowledging the attraction they had for each other but agreed to leave it at that. Until something changed. That tickle of desire became a flood of feelings including comfort and love… There were heart-stopping bumps along the way – and not just for them. Wrenchingly hard, dig into your soul, stomach-churning kind of stuff. Jasinda Wilder knows how to write real, relatable stories and Nova and Jessie’s is one of my new favourites!
I wished Jesse’s girls had been more in the picture but they, as well as all the much-loved characters in this series, came together in a warm epilogue that tied it all up nicely. If only Dad Bod Contracting were real…
