The Friendship Pact
by Jill Shalvis
Absolutely loved!
Truly, no one does families and the complex relationships they contain like [a:Jill Shalvis|22370|Jill Shalvis|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1638980833p2/22370.jpg], and the second book in her Sunrise Cove series is further proof.
For her whole life, it's always been Tae Holmes and her mom April. April was pretty much a baby herself when she had Tae, and Tae's spent almost as much of her life protecting her mom as her mom has done for her. When some long-held beliefs through her past into question, Tae isn't sure what to do. Adding to the confusion, her best/worst one night stand is back in town, and boy has he grown up well...
Riggs and Jake Copeland didn't have parents they could count on, they only had each other. Until Jake left for the military. Riggs followed 8 years later, but he still wasn't there for his brother when an IED changed his life forever, and it's made their relationship...complicated. Now out of the Marines for good, Riggs is back in town for the summer to help with Jake's new business. What he didn't expect? To see Tae again. A whole lot of Tae...because guess who his brother has hired to help plan their upcoming events?
I loved watching Tae and Riggs, two people who already have a lot going on in their lives find each other again and fall in love. Of course at the same time they had plenty of family drama to work through, and in true Jill Shalvis fashion we *might* also get a sweet secondary romance thrown in there too.
And a pair of dogs, some adorable at-risk kids, and oh yeah, a unicorn onesie. Not gonna lie, that garment sounds amazing...
Though The Friendship Pact is the second book in the series, it absolutely works as a standalone as well. But do yourself a favor and read the first one ([b:The Family You Make|57789636|The Family You Make (Sunrise Cove, #1)|Jill Shalvis|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1626719182l/57789636._SY75_.jpg|88094968]) too--I promise, you won't be sorry!
