Evie is divorced, with a 4 month old baby her ex-husband has no interest in, traveling states away to apprentice in what she hopes will be a stable career for her. Unfortunately, when she arrives, her rental house is flooded and unliveable. Thankfully, her best friends older brother Alec steps in to offer her a place to stay in his massive home, and Evie tries to stifle the rise of the crush she used to harbor in her teens.

This was such a genuine and well-done novel. I loved that it was a sisters' best friend trope, and instead of being over-protective and demanding as a lot of brothers' best friends tropes can be, she was amazing. Seeing the support, love, and encouragement on her end made the book low-stress and easy to binge.

Watching Alec's character go from indifferent and detached, to engaged and excited about Evie as well as June was so incredibly touching. As well as seeing Evie gain her confidence back and see her ex for who he truly was.

Typical to Jenny Proctor books, there was no spice or eluding to spice on the page, but it didn't take away from the relationship development nor the chemistry. Whether you enjoy on-page romance or not, this one is genuinely so good you won't miss it.

Thank you, NetGalley, Jenny Proctor, and Victoria Editing Co-Op for the digital ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Alec and Evie were just perfection. I was obssessed with these two from the start and rooting for their HEA! These two were absolutely meant to be together and I love the pacing of this story. You got to see these two reconnect and also got to see them all together since they were temporary roommates. Alec was the absolute sweetest and I loved all the little things he was constantly doing to make Evie and her daughter, Juno feel safe and happy. I am so sad to say goodbye to the Appie's, I have loved every book in this series but I can easily say this one is my favorite!
