“Because I was dying to punch this motherfucker from the moment he spoke to her, and he just made it legal.”

Be still my heart! I loved Brendan and Erin’s story from start to finish. I don’t often care for books that jump between past and present timelines. I’m less patient and prefer to get right into the connection but I understand that sometimes the past is key. Erin and Brendan had a very rocky relationship from the start. They’ve both had some traumas in the past and Erin had absolutely no one she could rely on to help carry the burden, not even her fiancé Rob. Brendan is best friend’s with Erin’s fiancé but when Rob fails to step up and prioritize Erin, Brendan can’t help but to step in. The development of the friendship turned situation-ship turned relationship was everything I never knew I needed.
