A Single Parent Romance

Nothing Feels Better

Sara Uribe

I received an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and options are my own.

Let me start off by saying I am not the biggest fan of single parent romances. It’s not really my jam, but I’ll read it every once in a while when I’m looking to change things up. Color me surprised when I instantly get hooked to this book and it takes me on one hell of an emotional roller coaster. Did this book make me cry like a baby? Why yes, yes it did. Hands down this is one of my top reads of the year. Jocelyn and Jesse seriously took me by surprise. I didn’t expect to love both of these characters, so very much, as well as June and Jude. I adored Jocelyn, her strength and determination to not only fight for her children, but also fight for herself was so admirable. And Jesse was so well done. I loved how funny he was, that he loved knitting, and was one hell of a dirty talker. These two had an instant chemistry with one another and I loved to see that connection grow throughout the entire book. I really don’t wanna say too much of anything because I feel like I might give something away just know that this book was absolutely amazing and the last 70% of this book had me in tears. Expect one hell of an emotional journey but an absolutely beautiful and heartfelt book. This book is hands-down my absolute favorite in this series so far and one of my favorite reads of 2022.

Let me start by suggesting you read the other two books before you read this! You absolutely do not have to but it would help with the other characters. I wish I would’ve realized this was apart of a series!! ANYWAYS… on to the good stuff!! 

This is my first Brit Benson book, just let me say Wow!!! 😮 I ATE this up. From start to finish. I highlighted so many quotes in this book it’s insane. Jesse’s personality is 10/10 so fun flirty but real. She compares him to neon, like come on?😩😍 I felt the love the entire time. 

Joss & Jesse’s love story is CLASSIC (iykyk).🥰

“I want to love you loud.” 🥹🥰🤩 

10/10 recommend!!!

I’ve never taken this long to write a review… and I mean that with the utmost respect and love for this book. At first I didn’t know why I was as having such a hard time. I knew yeah, some books are just so full of emotional turmoil that you’re a jumble yourself. This wasn’t quite that. After finishing Nothing Feels Better, I myself had never felt better towards a character’s happily ever after. With this title being the third in a series of standalones it was like I grew with the group while I went through each’s story! I’ve come to find that Brit appears to have a talent for writing the HEA we all need, no matter the situation, as well as the perfect matchup of characters. I rarely connect to both MCs yet for the third time in a row she has exceeded that literary goal for me.

Jesse Hernandez held my heart in the palm of his hand since the start. So when I finally had his book in MY hands I was ALL IN. He’s the joker of the group, consistently building his friends (and strangers) up which lead me to predict that he had a past. A past that left a permanent scar on him to where he shows compassion first and anger second. Man, was I accurate. I broke for him, then raged for him yet ultimately I had nothing but happiness for him because Jesse didn’t let his past ruin his view on life. If anything it intensified his ability to love. An all encompassing kind of love that both him and his heroine Jocelyn undisputedly deserve. Not to mention he is the literal definition of a gentleman in the streets and a freak in the sheets. Seriously. He’s a multifaceted character that checks off every box.

Now Joss. To be honest I didn’t know how I felt about her when I heard she was a single mom. I know, I know. How could I judge a character so quickly? It’s just not a trope I tend to enjoy. Uncanny that Brit made me eat my words when I feel like Jesse would do the same. LOL. Jocelyn is the foundation of a house in a storm. She doesn’t necessarily need a stroke of luck but damn does the universe owe it to her. Joss is incredibly likable. Pretty you quickly want to befriend her with her lowkey snarky sense of humor mixed with a gigantic heart. Her focus is laser beamed on her goals making me wish I had an ounce of her determination. Her reactions are valid feelings and concerns based on her life experiences. There’s no real running from the perfect man that is before her but there is the urge to protect. 

Nothing Feels Better is a classic story of redefining what one truly desires from life when at a crossroad. Both Jesse and Jocelyn have the opportunity to seize the love in front of them but at what cost? It’s not just their happiness and path at stake when you have 2 tiny humans involved. This story has many layers that tie together brilliantly. Jesse and Jocelyn’s characters grow together through different levels of strife leading to a believable bond. A bond that will withstand time if you let it. From the meet cute to the give in, to all of the amusing conversations in between Jesse and the kids to the inevitable conflict, every step of the way I fell deeper in love with this family. This wasn’t how I pictured Jesse’s story but now I could never imagine him without Jocelyn, June, Jude and the many new Hernandez’ to come. Because there is no doubt in my mind that Jesse will keep Joss busy for the rest of their lives.
