Oh God, here he comes now. Okay, he actually greeted me. Now I need to say something… anything. Run down my internal checklist—Step One: wipe drool from mouth; I wiped my mouth; check. Step Two: open mouth and speak; say something… come on, anything… nope, I got nothing. Step Three: refer to Step One and repeat.
Sigh. This gorgeous man now thinks I’m a moron. Of course, I know that my secret—okay, not so secret—crush, Reese Willoughby, could never have any interest in me anyway. There’s just no way that he hasn’t noticed me openly ogling him at work. I know everyone else in the office has surely seen it. When Reese finally asks for my help with a work project, I can’t help but feel over the moon. Now I can only hope that he notices just how much I like him, because there is no way I’m about to make the first move.
This book was published in 2016, I haven’t been able to find a publisher so no publisher is mentioned.
Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is an older published book (2016) that doesn’t necessary makes it bad. First thing first. There are a few misspellings and a few repeats that are unnecessary, a few facts that I don’t get – does Rees live in a house or an apartment? Theres a mention of both. I’m going for apartment. Since this is an older book I wish that the author would have done an update to correct these things.
When that is said this books is soo sweet. Give me a bowl of sugar and I’ll eat it with a spoon sweet. I love it. However there are a few things that doesn’t set well with me. I think there are too many characters for one books, it tend to confuse me, I do like the group of family and friends. And I just love Caleb’s mother she’s amazing. But the introduction to the characters are clever done I must say. Two kinds also becomes part fo Reese’s and Caleb’s family – just what they alway dreamed about, marriage and kinds. I does seem a little bit too forced, this is what they want, let’s give it to them. Maybe in an another book it would have been a great story. I think that this books should have focused on the relationship between Caleb and Reese and their friends – maybe even a bit more on the past, the hurt and the pain. To me it seems that the author is trying to please a bit too much. They want – they get. But who am I to tell the author how to write a book.
What I do like about the books is that it kind of reel. Caleb lives at a young age in a abusive household with his father and brother who both tortures him. What I don’t like is the non interference from anyone, surely someone must have noticed someting on a young child. When Caleb goes to a clinic because he’s badly hurt, why don’t anyone react (it’s pretty gruesome what he was put through), I would have said that someone professional would have reacted to the abuse, it does seem that for the sake of the story they just let it go/ don’t report it. But it does kind of put other people in a bad light aka they are not doing what they are supposed to, thats kind of wild. But if you can look past this a focus on the story it self, it really is sweet. The dynamic between Caleb and Reese is OHHH boy! I love them and I just want them to be happy.
Drama: there are a few dramas in this books and they are good, I like a bit of angst and drama. But I must also say that they kind of falls flat, they are not really allowed to develop, they pop-up and they vanish, just like that.
I was debating with my self between three or four stars, but ended up letting my heart get away with me, it is sweet.
This is my first read by this author, I’m going to read the next books in the series.
