Description:

Friends to lovers? There’s a lot to consider, a lot to hope for, and a lot at risk in a steamy and emotional romance by the bestselling author of Can’t Resist Her.

Peaches Monroe and Jamie Hunt are core members of their Texas friend squad and have so much in common. They’re successful at their careers in personal care. They take Austin’s “Keep It Weird” vibe to heart, each leaning into their own unique talents and sense of style. And they’re both ready to go on to even bigger things. Is pushing past the boundaries of friendship into something deeper one of them? The red-hot fantasy is there…but so is real life.

Jamie’s college dreams will take her far from her hometown. She’s already road-tripping to possibilities from San Antonio to Houston. And Peaches has obligations of her own. Not only is she planning to expand her business, but she’s taking care of her family after her mother’s passing, leaving her overwhelmed and under pressure.

No matter how perfect Jamie and Peaches are for each other, is this the right time for romance? Finding their true selves comes first. Only then can they hope to pursue a future of lasting love―together.

Review:

I love a good friends to lovers story but this was more of a shared friend group to lovers story. Not that it took away from the story but I was expected Jamie and Peaches to be closer from the description. Usually road trip romances aren’t my thing but this one worked. It the right amount of time and an actual discussion about “only one bed” .The proximity and tension was there but there was also a chance for emotional discussion. The conflicts of the story, Jamie making a life change and Peaches’ unending obligations to her family provide the right amount of drama. However, there was decisions throughout the book that didn’t make sense to and brought my rating down. That said, I did like the story and the characters and I want to go back and read Can’t Resist Her.

I’m Melisa! I’m an avid reader. I love romance novels and decided, hey, why not write about what I love and hate about the genre. And my favorite books. And when I get to meet authors. And all round why romance novels are awesome. Expect a lot of fan-girling, laughter, and some tears. View all posts by SomewhereLostInBooks
