Another hit in a great series
You will get mad, be heart broken, and get angry. But in the end, it all works out for the best.

I was late to pick this one up, not realising it was published. I love the series so much, and I went into this with high expectations, and whilst I did like this one, I didn't enjoy it as much as what I thought I would.
Ivy is a bitch, plain and simple, and she ruined it for Winter and Fin with her selfish actions. Fin took me a while to like, I can't really explain why as I don't remember him much from the previous book.
The story was good, as was the plot, I just didn't click with the characters like I did with the previous ones.

2.5 Stars for this masterpiece. I know sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Don't care it makes me happy.
So far this is my least favorite of the series. There are a couple of issues I had problems with.
Would I date my sisters ex? Don't know really. Depends on the circumstances. Even if said sister had cheated on the ex? Then maybe. If my unrequited Feelings could become a reality? Then more than likely. Still odd though on some Kind of Level and I'm glad I have a brother instead of a sister.
Winter Donovan has always had to clean up her sister Ivy's messes. Winter has always had a crush on Finn. Finn has never had to really work for anything well up until now at least. They spend one night of Passion and talking and then he chases Winter 2 months later.
I nearly stopped reading when said sister was pregnant and there was a certain implication that who the father might be. I might have found the plot slightly tedious because it concentrated more on Ivy then on the main characters. I might have skimmed quite a bit to get to the end of the book. I might have also thought that the ending was a bit pants. I will read Adams book though.
Winter wasn't annoying really but she was weak in my eyes by not really standing up to her sister.
I wish Winter would have found out what Finn did for her with paying the lawyer costs etc.

I fell in love with Winter Donovan. She is an adopted daughter who lost her parents when she was only 16. Her older sister, Ivy, is an alcoholic and substance abuser and Winter has done all she can to help. Winter crushed on Ivy’s high school boyfriend, Finn, big time. So it is only natural that now years later when she runs into Finn and he is hurting she tries to make him feel better. When he wants more Winter has to figure out how to juggle all the things and people in her life.
I haven’t read the other books in this series and had no problems reading this stand alone. This is a fast paced, well written story that will tear out your heart and then put it back better than ever.

I was really looking forward to reading this book because it's kind of taboo, wanting your sister's ex-boyfriend and crossing that line that you shouldn't to be with him so I was excited to see how the author would do with it but I have to say I was disappointed.
The story felt contrived, I felt like I saw all the strings in the background being pulled to get the story to where the author wanted it be, hopefully that makes sense. This as well as the contradictory nature of the characters pulled me out of the story and took away from my overall enjoyment of it. I know first person narrators are are unreliable but their contradictions were just too much they would say one thing and then act or do another thing later on.
Despite that there were parts I really enjoyed and chuckled over, Finn's "I don't like you living with a penis" speech was one of them. My favorite sex scene took place at Finn's parents house. *fans self* Overall it was an enjoyable read.

Thanks for an ARC from the author provided by TRSOR PR to read and review.
Winter and Finn had a compelling story dying to be told. This is my first by this author and I was swept away. Finn starts the book deep in mourning for his dad. A situation caused his dad to have a heart attck and die and Finn was close to him. He see's Winter sitting in a diner and feels an attraction for her. Only problem is, he used to date Winters sister for years. I agree with Winter when she feels having a relationship with Finn is taboo, and her sister is not well so she doesn't want to add more stress to her sisters load. Winter has always had a crush on Finn though and despite her best intentions they end up having a one night stand. Months later though neither one of them can forget the other but Winter is trying to ignore Finn. I really enjoyed this book. Finn had a deeper side in his player persona that shined which made his play for Winter about more than sex. Winter evolved in this book beautifully, like a butterfly leaving the cocoon. She matures, and learns to help her sister help herself instead of leaning on Winter for support. I recommend this to anyone who loves contemporary relationships, and mixed race couples. Overall entertainment is four stars.

I really enjoyed The dynamics of these characters. And that were more than just two main characters. Well written .
