Wes finally gets his own story. This contemporary rom-com is heartwarming, sweet, and please note this continues to be a low-no spice series without profanity so if those are your preferred reads this series is great for you. I definitely recommend reading the series in order. I enjoyed the characters and the work/life balance along with those awkward moments and banter that make rom-coms so great.

Luckily this bad boy can be read as a stand alone because again I've made the fatal flaw of not checking before I started reading that its a stand alone or first in a series lol... While I do prefer to read series this one still worked.
Will I be reading the first 2 books in this series.. absolutely, I think I'm gonna like the Jansen brothers.
This was a very slowwwww burn is that my cup of tea? meh.. Did I love the friendship that Hailey and Wes developed YES! Did I love their interactions as an item.... no so much I felt it just got way to corny and very rushed towards the end. And I mean if they're gonna go from 0 to 100 with their feelings I would have liked some smut to follow up with that, but sadly the steam was more like a warm breeze.
Aside from the romance of the book, I loved the dynamic of the found family this group of friends Hailey has met and the Jansens Brothers bond. You could tell all the side characters were genuine with their friendships.
Big shout out to Netgalley for giving me an e-ARC for an honest review. I'm excited to check out the other books in this series!

Unfortunately, this is my least favorite of the Jansen brothers which is so strange because of out of the brothers I liked Wes the most going into this.

Plot: Wes moved to cali after his brothers in attempt to put together businesses and understand his brothers new passions and love. He meets a girl who he thought was a dating app blind date? Weirdly unfinished. They become friends even though he takes her on dates and buys her dresses. When she falls in love he says he doesn’t want love so they break up. He fixes it by ✨apologizing✨ and making a huge declaration about a change in mindset.
What a great addition to the series. In order to understand all the characters its best to have read the other books first. I really enjoyed getting to know more about Wes and Hailey.
Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.
