 Blurb:

Rule number one of bro-code: exes, sisters—and of course, wives—are off-limits.

Don’t think about them and sure as hell don’t kiss them.

But what if your best friend dies, and suddenly you want the woman who has always been his?

Four years ago my childhood friend lost his life serving our country, and Astrid and her kids

became my responsibility.

But before I knew it, something started to shift between us.

Her smile started to make my stomach twist. Our conversations gave me something to look

forward to. And working with her made me appreciate just how strong she truly was.

But then one night, I did the one thing I shouldn’t have but couldn’t fight any longer—I kissed

her.

She pushed me away, told me it was a mistake, and begged me to forget it ever happened.

And then she shoved me deep and fully into the friendzone, where I’ve resided since then.

Until one instance changes everything and I know for certain she’s the woman I want.

Just when I think we’re on the same page, a secret from our past threatens to destroy our

future.

I shouldn’t want my best friend’s widow. I shouldn’t care what other people think.

But in the end, the only thing that matters is being someone Astrid deserves, and I’ll stop at

nothing until she believes that too.

My review:

“…living after losing someone is one of the bravest things you can do. It takes courage and the permission to be selfish because the only person that can keep living for you is yourself.”

“I want to love the friend you were before, the man you are right now, and the partner you will become.”

Someone You Deserve is the second book in the Carrington Cove series. It can be read as a standalone but once you start reading this book you will want to read the first one. Penn and Astrid’s story was amazing. Penn was scared to follow his dreams and fail but he was so encouraging of Astrid and her dreams. I loved seeing him get out of his own way and reach for his own dreams. They were perfect for each other and their chemistry was off the charts. This was an amazing book and leads us into the next book, which I cannot wait for.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
