Solid short story, but it definitely shows that this was her first, but it's definitely what I needed.

My very last available Talia book... I'm devastated, y'all. This is Talia's first work and it's so sweet even in its shortness because it is mainly about two best friends who have feelings. I love a good friends-to-lovers and especially liked this one because there's this first chapter where they're much younger then there's a time skip to see that their friendship only got stronger. I like that Jack and Cassidy know one another but there's still so much to explore in their relationship. I wish they'd get a full on book. I just want to read them being flirty as heck, domestic as heck, and in love as heck!

4.5 stars. Oh, this was perfect for what it was!! A very short, sweet, and steamy novella about best friends Jack and Cassidy making that move from friendship into love. i loved how kind and sweet Cassidy was, and Jack was a very goal-oriented, honest, hardworking man. The fact that Cassie was a schoolteacher was awesome, I loved that scene at the end with the school play. I just need more Talia Hibbert stories in my life already!

A very enjoyable short story you get when you sign up for Talia Hibbert's newsletter. I'm still a bit hesitant when it comes to m/f, but I loved this - it's a sweet and hot friends-to-lovers story. Because of the length, we don't get that much character development, but even though we only spend a very short time with them I had a better idea of what these characters were like and what they felt than in some longer novels I've read. I definitely will read more by her, and I really recommend checking out her writing, especially if you're a bit wary about m/f. It's great stuff.

As a reader, I generally prefer full length novels when it comes to my romances but this was a sweet and steamy bite size story (only 37 pages) about two friends who finally realize they want their friendship to be something more. Hibbert fills the pages with just enough detail to give you a sense of the characters' history with each other and what led them to finally embracing their feelings.
I read my first Hibbert book earlier this year, and I enjoyed sitting down with Always With You since it was the first story she ever published.

Really more a short story so you can't really expect to have the full impact that you usually get from a Talia Hibbert book, but it was great for what it is.
