- sister's best friend
- hidden relationship
In the spirit of complete honesty, while I know this is the second in a series, I don't recall the first book at all, I'm afraid. But that's okay, as I absolutely loved this one. This is Marcus and Seb's story, following them all the way from teenagers, through long distance all the way to an extremely satisfying HEA.
That being said, it's far from an easy ride for these two. Quite honestly, Seb's family have a LOT to answer for in the way they treat him and obviously favour his sister, quite blatantly. At the start I didn't care for Saskia (the sister) at all, she was a spoiled brat who treated her brother like crap. She redeemed herself by the end though. Marcus isn't without his own issues though, and it's a slow burn to find out what happened to make him the way he is, and it's super-sad. I loved these two together though, the heat between them is insane and I loved how the relationship built, the bad jokes and banter and the getting to know each other.
The twist, when it comes, almost broke my heart along with Seb's though. I knew it couldn't be plain sailing for them, but that was hard. What a way to declare and bring them back together though, such a feelgood moment and so satisfying. I loved this story so much.
