His Best Friend's Little Sister by Vivian Wood

4.0

I've a big fan of brother's best friend books. There is just something about falling for your brother's best friend and then having said brother get all protective. When given the opportunity to read this book I jumped at the chance. Henry and Ellie are words apart, being that there is a 13 year age difference between them. Henry has been best friends with Ellie's brother Eli since before Ellie was born. He remembers her when she was a baby. Ellie has had a crush on Henry for as far back as she can remember. After discovering her fiance in a compromising position she decides to go to her brother's mountain cabin and get some solitude. Henry is having a tough time and his PTSD is causing him some issues. It is recommended that he take some time off and relax so drives up to Eli's mountain cabin to be alone. These two discover that their solitude won't happen, especially after a snow storm leaves them stuck at the cabin. They try to resist each other, but resisting can only last for so long. Before they realize it they are falling into bed with each other over and over again.

Both Henry and Ellie are well developed character's who a person could easily get along with. They each have their own personal issues, Henry's being worse than Ellie's, but they are able to help each other out in ways that neither of them expected. I really enjoyed this story. There were some moment's that I questioned their actions but then the author ended up answering those questions at a different point in the book. The story was well developed and flowed smoothly. Great book and I look forward to reading more by this author! I voluntarily read an advanced copy for an honest review.
