lmmountford's review against another edition

I'd give this 3.5 stars. A good read, fun a lot of the time, with some steamy scenes, but a lot of the plot points are dropped rather easily considering some are actually majorly crippling conditions that some people struggle with for years if not a life time, which makes the story's believability suffer.

This is a sweet romance with a great storyline. Ellie and Henry are great characters and you really get drawn into their complex love story. Their age difference and Henry being Ellie's big brother's best friend make it difficult for them to connect at first but once they do they are so good together. There is of course the inevitable hurdle for them to overcome before they can truely be together, but true love will alway win out in the end.

At start I thought oh, this is going to be a bit strange for me to read about relationship with big age difference, but then again there is no limit when true love is in question.
I was pleasant surprised and couldn't put the book until i came till the end. Hooked from the start till the end; smiled with sympathy for both of them, waiting with anticipation what and when something will happen, little annoyed on some scenes, in need for shower on others ;) and sad about the loss, but happy about the end. I am not going to write about the details of the book because I don't want to spoil others reading experience, I just want to say that while reading this book it took me back in my childhood when I had a crush of my cousin's best friend (because I don't have a brother)

I loved Vivian Wood's new book His Best Friend's Little Sister. Henry and Ellie get stranded at Eli's cabin and Henry realizes Ellie is no longer a little kid, but a beautiful young lady. Sparks fly!! Loved this book!!

Not for me.
This was…fine.
Lots of buildup and very little resolution.
It just wasn’t for me. The emotional connection lacked. And I almost feel like a chapter was missing between the cabin and returning to reality. Or the time skip was choppy. Maybe both.
I didn’t get to see the resolutions on the page and that annoyed me.
It’s light and mostly fluffy, except for the unnecessary medical drama.
Ellie was a brat. Henry had a lot of personal demons that seemed to disappear once everything settled. Introducing issues to sweep them away is a huge pet peeve of mine.

This one is about Ellie and Henry. I met Ellie in the other book I read when I read about her brother Eli. I couldnt wait to read her story. She is feisty and I absolutely loved her and wanted more from her. I got that in this book. Ellie runs from everyone when she finds out her boyfriend does the unspeakable. She runs to not only get a break from everyone but to figure out what she wants out of life now. But little does she know her whole life is about to change.
Henry is dealing with more than any one person should. He is surviving from PTSD and goes up to the cabin to get away. The same cabin that Ellie is hiding out. Sparks fly between these two but is it enough for them to start and stay in a relationship? Love the chemistry between these two. Absolutely loved this book. Highly recommend.

This book follows the president's sister Ellie who's had a crush on her brothers best friend Henry since... Well forever. When they both find themselves needing to get away they unknowingly end up deciding to go to the exact same cabin, cue the snow storm.
This book was okay, I liked Henry and I liked how the book dealt with PTSD. The relationship was cute and it was definitely a steamy read.
Unfortunately there was just nothing to the story. At times it literally went from the characters having sex to the next chapter which again was just the characters having sex. There was no character or plot development.
Again the book was okay, if you're looking for something with a little less plot just to speed through this could be for you.

I've a big fan of brother's best friend books. There is just something about falling for your brother's best friend and then having said brother get all protective. When given the opportunity to read this book I jumped at the chance. Henry and Ellie are words apart, being that there is a 13 year age difference between them. Henry has been best friends with Ellie's brother Eli since before Ellie was born. He remembers her when she was a baby. Ellie has had a crush on Henry for as far back as she can remember. After discovering her fiance in a compromising position she decides to go to her brother's mountain cabin and get some solitude. Henry is having a tough time and his PTSD is causing him some issues. It is recommended that he take some time off and relax so drives up to Eli's mountain cabin to be alone. These two discover that their solitude won't happen, especially after a snow storm leaves them stuck at the cabin. They try to resist each other, but resisting can only last for so long. Before they realize it they are falling into bed with each other over and over again.
Both Henry and Ellie are well developed character's who a person could easily get along with. They each have their own personal issues, Henry's being worse than Ellie's, but they are able to help each other out in ways that neither of them expected. I really enjoyed this story. There were some moment's that I questioned their actions but then the author ended up answering those questions at a different point in the book. The story was well developed and flowed smoothly. Great book and I look forward to reading more by this author! I voluntarily read an advanced copy for an honest review.
