Their feelings begin to change and lines crossed. No turning back, but tried to continue friendship while in relationships with others. Incidents and infidelity occurred. Relationships dismantled Ryan and Poppy has a HEA. Good story.

This was okay for me, I didn't like it as much as I liked the previous one in this series. The writing was good, but I'm not a fan of cheating no matter how horrible the other person is. If you don't like them, leave them. Poppy was dating Will, but was cheating with Ryan. I do think that her and Ryan belonged together, but the cheating kind of ruined it for me. Poppy was also crappy to Ryan when things got tough. I did enjoy the HEA.

This is the second book by Vivian Wood that I have read. I didn't realize until I was reading it that the hero was Ellie's (from His Best Friend's Little Sister) brother Ryan. I enjoyed the story but felt that it was a little slow starting out. The character's weren't as strong as I would have liked them to be. Poppy was a good strong doctor but she lacked strength when it came to her personal life and what she really wanted. Will I greatly despised. He pissed me off with the way that he treated Poppy, and I can say that I'm glad he got what he did. Sarah was a great friend but I've never been a fan of triangle's and it kind of irritated me that Ryan still messed around with her even though he knew he was attracted to Poppy. I had my up's and down's with this story, but in the end I really enjoyed it. And really? The purple popsicle? That was unique. *I voluntarily read an advanced copy for an honest review*

Hmmm

So I fell in love with Ryan's family when I read Eli story(His Virgin) it was bonus content in the back of another book by Vivian Wood. Fell even harder when I finished Ellie's (His best friends Sister) So though they don't really talk about the other siblings back story their are little drops here and there. So when it became Ryan's turn for his book I couldn't wait for this sweet, sincere family to all get their HEA.
Yes the story is a good story. Sometimes things just didn't add up. In another story Ryan says his dad taught him how to fight because he was such a little guy for so long but I this book he doesn't have a dad and little things like that can throw me off and ill get stuck on them and forget to keep up with the main plot of the book.
But any who back to this book. It was such a heart breaking read dealing with abuse and it broke my heart thinking that Poppy would continue on the cycle. So glad she was brave enough to break the cycle and get out and fall into her lovers waiting arms.
Even though her friend tried to redeem herself at the end I couldn't make myself like Penny NOPE she wasn't a very good friend lol. However over all I really enjoyed the book.
I hope that you will too 🍷🌃💁📚

Another great read from Vivian!

Poppy and Ryan are childhood friends who fight their way through the drama and heart ache of their lives. I really enjoyed the book and can't wait to read more of Vivian's work.
