The Friendship Pact
by Jill Shalvis
It has always been Tae and her mom, April, against the world. Tae has started her own event planning company and is staying busy. She is doing events for Adrenaline HQ for Jake, who has asked his brother, Riggs, to come back to town to help out. Tae was hurt by Riggs when they were teenagers and has no intention of getting close to him again. However, an event the night they first see each other again something happens that draws them closer together.
Riggs is out of the military and is in town to help is brother and then move back to DC for a job. What he never expected was to see Tae again, or he was going to try to avoid her. Ever since they were seventeen, it has always been her, and they can read each other and see the person they really are even when they're trying to hide. When Tae starts looking for her father, she has questions and Riggs tries to protect her even when he should be staying out of it. Tae is of course hurt when she finds out the truth, but will she be able to forgive Riggs and allow them to have their happily ever after.
Jill Shalvis has the ability to take your emotions, put them in a box shake them up and then tie everything up in a bow with a tissue box and a happy grin at the end. I keep thinking that I can not find another book I love more by this author but every time she releases a new book I swear it just gets better than the last one. I think the best part of the book, besides watching Riggs and Tae fall in love, was Adrenaline HQ and the organizing helping Military Vets, at risk kids, and kids with disabilities. You really get to see all the characters at their best when they are doing an event with AHQ.
My main complaint about this book, yet I understand it at the same time with what happened, is April taking so long to tell her daughter the truth about her father. I know bad things happen and parents don't always think their kids need to know the truth but kids always need to know the truth about their parents. Kids just want to know where they came from, even as an adult. I loved at everything turned out in the end.
