The Best Mistake by Cookie O'Gorman
5.0
Synopsis:
This is the story of Honor Tierney and Archer O'Brien. While Archer is the captain of the Southern University's baseball team and the eldest of the O'Briens, Honor is a journalist for the campus newspaper. When a planned encounter results in a case of mistaken identities, which is followed by Honor being assigned to interview the baseball team, is it the start of something new?
Review:
The author is my favourite ever since I read Adorkable as she writes adorable stories. This one was dedicated to girls like Honor and you and me. Honor is introduced as the girl in a frat house party clutching a copy of [b:Jane Eyre|10210|Jane Eyre|Charlotte Brontë|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1557343311l/10210._SY75_.jpg|2977639] (I so want to read it now, sitting pretty on my shelf since last year when I got a copy). She has book boyfriends, she dreams about them, she always has a book in her arms.
Twenty-one-year-old Honor and her friend have come up with The Plan and for its execution, they need the playboy O'Brien. There are six O'Brien siblings in all, the oldest Archer, followed by the twins Baylor and Chase, Dexter, Emilia the freshman, and the youngest at seventeen Finn. She mistakes the eldest O'Brien for the one she was chasing after. I just love O'Gorman's characters and their sporty family bonding!
As much bonding as there is between the O'Brien family, it is quite the opposite for Honor. And therein also lies the reason she fears falling in love. A perfect slow-burn new adult romance where the build-up is such a sweet one. Archer is too good to Honor, and Honor is what Archer needed. They complement each other beautifully and are exactly what the other deserves. When Honor interviews Archer, it had me sighing all along.
[a:Cookie O'Gorman|14924267|Cookie O'Gorman|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1454165111p2/14924267.jpg]'s stories always have humour at just the right places, even though the burden that there always was on young Archer's shoulders seemed a bit unfair to me. But, the O'Brien siblings' shenanigans all through the story made up for it and the incident right at the end was the best of them all!
P.S. I need to read [b:Outlander|10964|Outlander (Outlander, #1)|Diana Gabaldon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1529065012l/10964._SY75_.jpg|2489796], like, right now. Sigh!
“It’s not like one more Corona would've killed me."
I did a double-take at that. Of course, due to the present circumstances, before I remembered about the brand!
Thank you to InkSlinger PR for an e-ARC of the book.

Real life has too many tragedies. Happily-ever-after is something to strive for not scoff at. Being happy is one of the bravest things you can be.

Someone should give those guys a modeling contract. Or write a book series about them.
