My Marriage Pact by Kristine W. Joy
4.0

The third but standalone book in the ‘My Way To Romance’ series is a sweet, closed door romance between two childhood best friends, who are currently walking a thin line between friendship & love.

Emmy is struggling with her mixed emotions as she is the only one in their group of three girl friends who is still single & yet to find her breakthrough on career front, as an aspiring makeup artist. She however has Evan - her best friend from school - who is always there for her through thick & thin.

Evan is a doctor in the ER and he has been in love with his best friend, Emmy since a long time. Maybe even since the day he saw her in school? But, she has been oblivious to this & Evan is nearing his thirtieth birthday now. He decides to invoke the marriage pact he made with Emmy as kids.

Their friendship is so special and they have such sweet moments together. While Evan wants to take a chance on his feelings, Emmy is scared to risk their more than a decade old friendship. But, will she regret letting go of this chance?

I had a really sweet and fun time with these two. The thoughtful gestures by Evan were such a green flag thing. He is a sweetheart. At times I felt like just shaking Emmy and asking her to say yes to Evan! However, we see how it is difficult for her to risk & complicate her relationship with Evan. But, when she eventually decides to face her feelings, it just might be a bit too late.

This was an easy to read, sweet romance which may be extra special if you ever might have had these feelings for your best friend - requited or not. This becomes extra sweet if you have read the first two books in the series, the love stories of Jo & Larisa and the friendship of these three girls is in itself so fun. I was happy to see them all happy in the extended epilogue.
