DNF after a few chapters sorry I hate Savannah and her ‘I’m a victim’ spiel when she literally roped Jacob into being the father of her baby

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No

It was just okay for me.
I felt bad for Savannah but she spent too much time in the story crying. It was exhausting. I can’t understand the level of miscommunication that occurs with these characters in this series. For example they each assumed the other was hooking up with numerous people and it wasn’t true. Yet they refer to one another as best friends

I am loving this series! And this is the book that I was most looking forward to! Beau and Savannah have loved each other since children but hide their love behind their friendship. Beau, Savannah and Jacob were besties since children; and when Savannah turned out pregnant at eighteen, it was Jacob who took responsibility over the child, at the cost of the love of his life Kallie. Beau felt betrayed in his love for Savannah, but accepted her choice and was there for her and her son Ethan.
“When I learned the news, I was cut off at the knees. I was gutted and hollow, thinking that my best friend had slept with the only woman I have ever loved. I pretended to be supportive of them, but deep down inside, I died. A piece of me was gone forever.”
Through Ethan’s life, he continued to be best friends with Savannah and Jacob and was like a secondary father to Ethan. Now, when this book starts, Beau finally finds out who is Ethan’s real father and it’s like an atomic bomb fell over them.
Beau is celebrating winning his election as mayor and invited all his friends. After the explosive news, he’s rude and cruel to Savannah and she flees. There’s a fraças and they all leave him alone to drink himself into oblivion. I was expecting then a book of betrayal and forgiveness and a huge amount of groveling. Instead, there was copious crying, a repentant man who immediately went to the woman he loved and apologized and was forgiven immediately.
This book has a lot of angst and suspense. Savannah is the victim of several episodes of sabotage at her business and house. Beau in his worry and desire to protect her, takes a surprise decision and rushes her along into cooperating. It takes the whole group of friends to help Savannah overcome all her trials and tribulations. It was lovely to see all the group of friends and parents helping and supporting Savannah. It was also sweet to see everyone loving on Ethan and sharing him. It was like everyone wanted to take care of him and they were taking turns to take him fishing, or swimming or making apple pies.
One thing I loved was that both Savannah and Beau thought that the other was living the single life and going out on dates; when the truth is that they were practically celibate. Way to fool your friend with a smoke curtain! They were really devoted to each other, they just didn’t know that about the other. Talk about having the truth in front of you and being blind to it! I had a great time reading this book and see them navigate to each other, so sweet.
“Bottom line, he was the hero in every single romance book I’ve read. He was the prince in every Disney movie. He was everything, but he looked at me like he always did—as a friend. I was his best friend, and he was one of mine.”
I loved the progression of this story. It wasn’t a slow burn that made you want to bump then in the head, there was no excessive stubbornness and pride keeping them apart. I felt for Savannah because in trying to find support for her pregnancy, she broke a couple apart (Jacob and Kallie) and earned the scorn of the whole town. For eight years she has been accepting the bad looks and bad rep, and now with all the sabotage, it was a lot to deal with.
I read the book super fast because I was enthralled by the mystery and the suspense and the angst. Poor Savannah cried a river of tears! And there’s a saying “it takes a village” and in this case it was proven true. The story was everything I wanted and needed and I loved the little snippet that gives us an idea of what’s coming next!

I thought Savannah was selfish in book 1 but in this story she’s redeemed herself. It’s only so much a girl can handle. Savannah was the town pariah because of her mother and also because of what the town assumes happened with Jacob. Beau has always been in love with Savannah and surprisingly she was also in love with Beau but she thought he always friend zoned her. He finally found out the truth about Ethan and at first he was hurt but then he stood by her. It was a slow burn with these two I found myself yelling stating come on hurry up and get together lol. A series of events happened to Savannah and he made it his business to stand with her. That poor girl was actually pretty strong because of all the crap she put up with. Beau was amazing and he defended his woman with everything he had and he made sure she felt wanted. His family was dysfunctional but he knew how to handle them. I also enjoyed reading how Jacob, Kallie, Casey and Olivia stood by them too. Kallie and Savannah relationship healed and it was so beautiful to see. The epilogues were amazing until that ending with Ethan. Can’t wait for his story.

I am so falling in love with Natasha Madison's words in this series. I swooned so much over Beau and I loved getting to see another side of Savannah. This story was absolutely beautiful. I loved seeing the progression between these characters and loved their chemistry. I was frustrated with them both at times, but ultimately fell for both of these characters. I can't wait for more from Natasha and from this series.
