Unveiled: Lucas & Theresa's story by Christa Wick, Tessa Wood
3.0

This is the second book (and I think final, even though it looks like the author had more planned? Maybe the third one will be released someday?) in this series. Book one featured Belle and Corwin. This book is about Theresa and Lucas. Theresa is Belle's best friend and Corwin's sister. Lucas is best friends with Corwin.

Theresa and Lucas have known each other for years. Lucas is in the military, so he's been gone for a few years. He comes home to help with Corwin and Belle's wedding. He's also figuring out his future and where the military fits in with it.

This book is actually very similar to the first book in the series. We have a best-friend's sibling romance. Both have been interested in the other one for years, but neither made a move. The women in both books never imagined that the heroes could have those same feelings for them. It's all pretty standard stuff.

I think I did enjoy this one a bit more, however because I felt that I got to know Lucas and Theresa a bit better than I did Corwin and Belle. I also liked the friendship that Lucas and Theresa built. I will say Theresa was frustrating. She didn't want Lucas to make a decision about his future based on his relationship with her, so she just kept running hot and cold. The dude is an adult, and is written to be more than competent. I get that her insecurities were also about her, but the back and forth between them was getting old, and this is a short read.

Not a bad story, but, as with the first, it won't go down as particularly memorable.
