Friends Don't Fall in Love by Erin Hahn
4.0
Friends Don't Fall in Love is an endearing and steamy romance set in the country music scene with tropes including he falls first, friends to lovers, found family, and second chance. The story follows Lorelai, a former school teacher turned country musician who after performing a protest song in favor of gun control, is barred from the music industry. After returning to teach for a few years, Lorelai moves back to Nashville and decides to pick back up on her music. Helping her through it all is her best friend Huck, who happens to be a music producer willing to do anything to get Lorelai back into the music scene. With a past between them and a burning connection, the two get closer than ever before while Lorelai attempts to jumpstart her career with the help of Huck producing and writing for her new album.
This is an absolutely charming romance, I loved getting to step into the country music industry, something I'm not too familiar with, and immerse myself in Lorelai and Huck's history. They're whole relationship is built on trust and love through years of friendship and I loved how they slowly fell for each other even further throughout the story. Huck was so lovable and sweet, taking care of Lorelai in any way he knew how, the man had been hopelessly in love with her for years and it was definitely noticeable in the ways he treated her. Beyond the romance, the writing and story were very easy to follow yet steeped in layers of emotion and history between Lorelai and Huck that added a nice depth. The flashbacks were a nice addition to giving context to their past relationship and how they felt about each other all along, though I was a little lost in the beginning with all the time skips. This is my first ever read from Erin Hanh and I am so excited to explore more from her in the future!
~Many thanks to NetGalley and SMPRomance for an ARC of this book in return for an honest review.
