I swear, every book that I read by Nicole keeps getting better and better with each and every pairing. Vaughn and Austin were everything for me and just so adorable in my eyes. These two are definitely my favorite couple out of this series.

Best friends to lovers is definitely one of my favorite tropes but the way they were together- just swooning over here. They would spend nights together and the cuddles as best friends was so adorable.

I knew this was going to be an amazing book when you see how crazy and possessive Vaughn gets over Austin. Don’t look at him the wrong way and here comes Vaughn.

And holy hell, that first kiss was so perfect. The codependency with these two was too cute. When Austin couldn’t even go one weekend without him, I just laughed because he tried to stay away. I don’t want to give too many spoilers but the way they come out to their parents was probably one of the best I’ve seen.

I’m so looking forward to the next book in this series because I have a feeling it’s going to be that good.

I received a copy of this book and this is my honest review.
