Okay book besties 📚💖 if you love fake marriage, found family, and longtime friends-to-lovers with zero spice but ALL the feels — Betrothal or Breakaway by Leah Brunner is your next cozy must-read!! This story follows Amber and Ford (aka Remy 😍), childhood besties who suddenly find themselves fake married so Amber can get life-saving heart surgery. Like… he literally steps in after her ex leaves her pregnant and heartbroken?? Ford is THE blueprint for cinnamon roll hockey boys 🥹💍
Amber is strong, independent, and so easy to root for — and watching her learn to accept love and support again? SOBBING. Ford is loyal, patient, and secretly so in love with her it hurts (in the bestway). Their chemistry is sweet and comforting, like a warm hug in book form 🫶 Plus, the hockey backdrop adds just enough swoon without ever overshadowing the heart of the story — friendship, healing, and second chances.
