I wasn't feeling the chemistry between Avery and Drew. The sex scenes were scorching hot though.

It was just okay. Spicy but the “friends to lovers” plot is kind of boring.

Only because drew pissed me off a bit. And the miscommunication thing annoyed me but other than that it was cute and I teared up at the end so I enjoyed it greatly

This is my second friend. Katee Roberts book, and in my opinion, the friend-to-lover aspect is better than the smut, unlike where it was opposite in gifting me to his best friend. Drew and Avery made me believe they were actually best friends, unlike three people wanting sex. I like this for the friends-to-lovers trope, but the baby trope isn't for me, and the grandfather ruined the book for me. I understand that all people don't come from happy homes, but his negativity was bringing down the whole book. I am also happy that Alexis found out what she needed to heal from the verbal abuse of her grandfather and from not being able to have kids.

ECCKKK! Best friends who turn into lovers are the best.
I loved the fact that Drew was dead set against Avery choosing anyone but him. He has been there for Avery since they were young so why wouldn’t he be there for her now when she wants to have a baby? And when he gets her to agree that he is the best option, some hot times ensue.
Avery and Drew are great together as best friends and in-between the sheets but they find there is some awkwardness in that in-between frame when they aren’t being friends and aren’t being lovers. Reading them struggle through this awkwardness was a delight because they tried to be so cool about it but just blundered through their interactions – it made me laugh.
But things got real towards the end of the book when true feelings came out and apprehensions came forefront. Nothing seemed to work properly after this point and it seems that disappointment follows our two characters around like a black cloud.
Luckily, Drew’s brother steps up and tries to help mend Avery and Drew’s relationship before it crumbles to pieces.

This was... okay. The hero suggests fathering the heroine's baby and doesn't realize this means he's supposed to beat off in a cup until they're actually at the clinic and then he's like "wait, no, we have to leave, I totally want to bang you." The romance develops from there. He's traumatized by being the son of an alcoholic; she has really mean grandparents and a dead mother. I don't know, it was fine.
