Blair has had a crush on Cam since her brother first brought him home. This year she’s finally transferred colleges and is in the same place as him and has decided it’s time to make her move. Cam has always had certain thoughts about his best friends sister but has never acted on them because of Knox.

Brothers best romances are so much fun and I loved this one. I liked that they both have always kind of had a crush on each other but never acted on it. I really enjoyed that before that started anything they took a little bit of time to get to know each other as friends. It was fun seeing her tempt him and try to get him to fall in love with her. 

 

Cam is such an idiot and I love him for that. He kept insisting that he wasn’t looking for a relationship when that was clearly all he wanted with Blair. I really liked seeing him get jealous and fall into her little traps every time. 

 

I enjoyed the break up scene but I wish that he said a little more during it. The way Cam really worked on himself during that month warms my heart. He wanted to get better so he could be a good man for her. I also loved the moment when he finally told her that he loved her. It was so satisfying and it was exactly what Blair needed.
