Addyson
Life just threw me a curveball. I have to find a new place to live, but it must be in-district, because my son has his heart set on riding the bus to his first day of kindergarten.
When my brother’s sexy best friend suggests we move in with him, I have to remind myself the offer was for his spare bedrooms… not his bed.
Graham was my childhood crush and being in proximity with him is bringing back all kinds of feelings I thought were long gone. Looks like this time, he’s experiencing them too.
The problem is, now I have a son to think of. We’ve been through enough, and I can’t risk his heart… or mine.
Graham
My gorgeous new roommate is off limits. Not only is she my best friend’s little sister, she’s a single mom looking for help… not a hookup.
From the moment she’s under my roof, sparks fly, and suddenly the girl I’ve known my whole life becomes the woman I want long term.
I know I should stay away. Addyson deserves better than sneaking around, but she’s afraid to give me more. Plus the little boy she’s trying to protect… he’s already stolen my heart.
To let her get away… let them get away, would be a crying shame.
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
My review:
This was a new-to-me duo of authors, and I am so glad I got introduced to their books. A best friend’s sister trope is always one of my favorites. The book was well written, fast-paced, and had wonderful characters (especially Addyson’s son Noah.)
When Addyson’s apartment roof collapses from a water leak above her apartment, Graham offers for her and her son to stay with him. Her son was looking forward to starting school and staying with Graham would allow him to stay at the same school. Addyson had always had a secret crush on Graham but gave up that dream as she got older. Could close proximity help her dreams come true?
I loved how Graham adored and became so close to Noah. It was amazing to watch their relationship grow. Noah was so adorable and provide a lot of laughs. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more books by this duo.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
