Keva is a woman battling PCOS and wanting a baby more than anything else. When another door closes, she goes to dinner with friends and it turns into a one night stand with an intriguing man at the bar. She thinks it's a one and done, but Zahir doesn't let go easily. Can she believe he really wants her, even with her body's limits?

I will be honest and say this book started off shaky for me. As a woman with PCOS, I was triggered in a way by the beginning--the medical piece giving Keva the impression pregnancy was a complete impossibility (which most of the time is not true. It's exponentially harder, but not completely impossible) and Keva's lack of a therapist, which pushed into the hopelessness of the first pages of the story. It felt off, and over dramatized. But it was Keva's experience and I pulled back so as not to project my own. Then my mind was in the right place. I do love that it explored so many of the things women with PCOS just don't talk about--the hair growth, the depression, the insomnia, the feelings of unattractiveness. It touched me to see it written so well and treated so delicately. 

As far as the love story, Zahir was unhinged in the best of ways, lol. I was wary at first because his internal monologue spoke something about Keva not looking like women he usually dated. I was scared the language and his attitude would fall into the degrading, fetishizing, "my first fat girl" rhetoric, but it balanced after that. His goal was having Keva and he didn't waver. He started out calling her his wife, and showed up to prove it. He dressed for the job he wanted, lol. And even though she wasn't all the way on board, he didn't give up because he knew. Charming her mother was smart and also diabolical. I loved that part, lol. He made way for all of her misgivings and pulled them apart one by one. He paid attention to her, in every way that mattered. He respected her body's changes, and her need for patience while she adjusted. Having someone want you wholly and completely when you consider yourself broken is a whole new world and Keva had to ease into it. She was a runner, but he knew how to chase and how to push away her evasive nature. And they were very very sexy. Great job. I enjoyed it. And this author was new to me so I would absolutely read her again.
