Summer has sworn off men. Archie has decided never to let a relationship become long term. When fate brings them together at the wedding of Summer’s sister Winter and Archie’s best friend Logan, it is lust at first sight. Summer realizes that Archie might just be the distraction she needs to make it through the scrutiny from her old friends and Archie is more than willing to assist. What they didn’t realize was that there may be more to their relationship than just a casual hookup. Will they be able to accept what’s right in front of them?

This was such a fun read! I loved that Summer finally got her “redemption” arc and we got to spend more time in her head and to understand her actions from the first two books. I also was so excited to finally get to focus on Archie after he was such a charmer in the last book. I felt like this was a truly believable pair and I appreciated that they didn’t rush into a haphazard patch, but rather made sure that they were both in a place to move forward with exploring a healthy relationship. My only complaint is that I feel like if I were Winter I would have approached my sister first about her new relationship to see where she was sitting emotionally, rather than immediately chastising my recently acquired friend. However, this didn’t really detract from the progression of the story and I wish I could have spent longer with these two to see how things settled after the wedding.
