emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

5.0

Reader’s Notes:

– this is part of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone

– this is told from Emmy & Dawson’s points of view

Review:

I adored this brother’s best friend romance! I loved that Dawson wanted to do all he could to win Emmy’s heart and was willing to take notes on book boyfriends’ gestures for her. I loved that Emmy tried her best to barricade her heart from what she thought would be sure heartbreak, but of course that didn’t go as planned. I also loved the book club members and especially Mimi’s mischievous nature throughout! XD

Summary:

Emmy lives in Maple Falls and loves her life there beyond the unwanted advances from her workplace owner’s son. The only problem is that Maple Falls is small and not known for its eligible bachelors. Her only options to find someone would be to leave, find a date online, or entertain falling for one of the hockey guys coming for the charity team. Though the last option really isn’t one with how her hockey player brother warned her against a relationship with any hockey player years ago. Though the only person who could make Emmy possibly defy her brother’s wishes also happens to be his best friend… and one of the players coming for the charity team…

Dawson fell for his best friend’s sister when he first met her, but thought Emmy hated him. Now that he’s back in Maple Falls, Dawson is determined to shoot his shot and show Emmy how much he cares for her. Even if it means taking lessons from her favorite book boyfriends to give him an extra boost…
