Right as Raine by Lucy Lennox

5.0

Utter brilliance. Aster Valley is an all new series from Lucy Lennox, and it's already off to a killer start.

I dove in with the prequel, Winter Waites, and nearly salivated for Right as Raine.

Mikey and Tiller are the ultimate #couplegoals. Why? Because each chapter tells a story of friendship carefully woven out of the strings of a boss/employee relationship. Tiller, a professional wide receiver, hires Mikey as his personal chef to help maintain his nutrition. Mikey is the coach's son.

Even without me telling you. Even without you reading this. You know that is the ultimate no-go zone. Forbidden. Off limits. All of it.

So how do they handle it? Establish clear boundaries, and then epically break them one at a time.

What I loved, more than Tiller calling him "my...Mikey" was you witnessed their friendship above everything else. Yes, there was an attraction. Yes, there was this burning desire to be more. But their friendship mattered most. Inside jokes. Traditions. Cozy little insights into one another. Every moment had me gripping not the edges of my Kindle and swooning a bit.

And then I screamed and cried. (No, I won't spoil it).

The book is perfect. I loved every moment, even the painful ones and the ones that made me want to punch Coach in his stupid face.

5/5 stars.
