3.0

After reading the blurb for this book I had high hopes that it would be amazing. I am a massive fan of best friend's little sister type stories and this one was just kind of meh.

Laurel is a divorced mother of two and Zack is her brother, Travis, best friend. Zack has had feelings for Laurel for years and gave up a relationship to have a chance with her.

At times the story felt very predictable and seemed to just kind of progress at a rapid speed. There were a few moments where I though I missed whole sections of the book and had to go back and double check only to find out I didn't.

Laurel kind of drove me crazy, I get that she has issues because of her relationship with her ex husband, but Zack was insanely sweet and so patient with her. I felt like screaming at her to just believe him.

I loved the Laurel's brothers, Harlan and Travis, and Zack's friend and business partner Levi. They were fun secondary characters and I definitely look forward to seeing more of them. With all the mention of Laurel's ex husband and his job I do wish that there was more of a tie in to that into some of the story line for a little extra drama.

Overall, it wasn't a terrible story and I still did enjoy it. I'm curious about what happens going forward since it is part of a series, so I will check out those as they are released because the ending to Zack and Laurel was just kind of abrupt.
