I Want It That Way (2B Trilogy #1) by Ann Aguirre - Restarting March 12th 2019

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

Nadia Conrad has big dreams, and she's determined to make them come true—for her parents' sake as well as her own. But between maintaining her college scholarship and working at the local day care to support herself, she barely has time to think, let alone date. Then she moves into a new apartment and meets the taciturn yet irresistible guy in 1B….

Daniel Tyler has grown up too fast. Becoming a single dad at twenty turned his life upside down—and brought him heartache he can't risk again. Now, as he raises his four-year-old son while balancing a full-time construction management job and night classes, a social life is out of the question. The last thing he wants is for four noisy students to move into the apartment upstairs. But one night, Nadia's and Ty's paths cross, and soon they can't stay away from each other.

The timing is all wrong—but love happens when it happens. And you can't know what you truly need until you stand to lose it.

Chapter 1: (view spoiler)[Introduction to Nadia and Ty. Their first meeting didn't go so great, but having read the synopsis I can tell why. Pretty sure this situation will get worse before it gets better. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 5: (view spoiler)[ well their relationship escalated quickly. I'm not really sure I see the connection that Nadia keeps describing. It sounds more like plain lust to me, which would be fine but it seems the author wants it to be deeper and because they've only had a few interactions, I just can't see it. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 11: (view spoiler)[So she's already in love after only about 5 actual conversations with him. Sure, why not. At least his kid is adorable. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 16: (view spoiler)[Well, they finally had sex. Or a sex weekend as it goes. I'm starting to wonder if Sam's mom is going to come back into the picture. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 20: (view spoiler)[ Sam is just adorable. It's nice seeing more of Nadia and Ty's relationship so it's not so instalove (even though it totally was). Pretty sure Ty's freakout about Nadia being too close to him and Sam is about to come. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Finished: (view spoiler)[A very cutesy predictable book. I enjoyed watching Nadia get to know Sam and also how Ty was protective of his son. I'm a sucker for single dad stories. Her issues with Lauren never got settled and we never found out if Max ends up happy, so I'm wondering if these get addressed in the other books. Also, I kept expecting Sam's mom to show up and that never happened...or will it? (hide spoiler)]

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I'm up to Chapter 7.


(view spoiler)[You know that they will most likely end up together in the end. However, I do understand why he is hesitant to want to date. We all know things can go badly and with a kid involved it can be a lot worse. (hide spoiler)]

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I'm up to Chapter 14.


(view spoiler)[It's good that Ty's son gets along with Nadia. It will definitely make things easier. I'm not surprised they finally got together because we all knew it was coming. (hide spoiler)]

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I'm up to Chapter 21.


(view spoiler)[I'm glad that they are spending weekends together. I'm just waiting for them to break up and then get back together. Usually that's how things go in these books. (hide spoiler)]

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I'm finished.


(view spoiler)[It sucks that her dad has Parkinson's but at least he has his wife to help him. Of course I'm that everything worked out between Ty and Nadia. It's nice that they moved in together and are going to raise Sam. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ Ty's son is so cute. I like Nadia and Ty's balcony interactions. Ty seems like he could use a partner to lean on (hide spoiler)]
chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ I'm happy they're hooking up ;) and I'm glad Nadia was able to keep her cool when Sam was losing his shit about the bear. (hide spoiler)]
chapter 22 (view spoiler)[ I know Ty is trying to cut it off before Nadia leaves him or regrets being a step mom so young, but come on! Clearly she loves him and his son, he should go for it. Poor Nadia (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ I'm glad things seemed to work out for everyone. Nadia will be a good mom for Sam and she and Ty are a cute couple. This was a sweet read (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ I love when books have Harry Potter references! (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ Sam is so cute. I am glad thus isnt a deal breaker for Nafia and Ty. (hide spoiler)]

[Karen]

About to start this - I'm hoping it's not as predictable as it sounds.

[Karen]

Ch1 - looks like it’ll be rather obvious. Nadia is so earnest I wonder how much she’ll fret over what she eventually learns.

[Aly]

It's fairly predictable, but not too bad overall

[Courtney]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ That couch scene! Talk about killing the mood. (hide spoiler)]

[Karen]

Up to ch4. Obvious, yes, but it’s not making me cringe. Yet.

[Karen]

Up to ch9. Sam is pretty cute in behaviour. Can’t believe they’re in their 20s - such restraint!

[Karen]

Up to ch13. Wondered if we’d ever get to this point. Quite liking the side-story with the roommates.

[Aly]

Yeah, it definitely adds more to the story

[Courtney]

Chapter 9 (view spoiler)[ Sam is cute. I wish Ty and Nadia would just get togather already, but I get why Ty is so hesitant. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ Ty's story was sad. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

I agree

[Karen]

Up to ch22. (view spoiler)[ They’re having such a good time, I feel like I’m waiting for the spanner in the works. Either finding out her room-mate’s secret or the ex coming back. (hide spoiler)]

[Karen]

Finished. Review on home page. A NA read that didn’t have me cringing...a little obvious but it was a feel-good read.

[Courtney]

Chapter 19 (view spoiler)[ Wow! Someone broke into her car for food and a phone. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 22. NO!

[Courtney]

Chapter 24. I hate this.

[Courtney]

Chapter 25 (view spoiler)[ Conversations with mom always help. (hide spoiler)]
