Falling for Your Best Friend by Emma St. Clair
5.0
I was apprehensive of this book. When we’ve seen Harper in the other books I just didn’t really connect with her. She never stood out to me, but oh my oh my this author has quickly become one of my favorites. She just had such a way with the characters and words. I flat out, absolutely loved this book. I stayed up all night reading it because I just couldn’t put it down. I even cried, I knew there was going to be a HEA but it was so emotional, so raw I couldn’t help it.
Chase was such and incredible, selfless man. He loved Harper so deeply it was hard seeing his heartache.
“here’s the thing: my feelings have not changed. Harper is my everything. But if I’m not hers? I don’t know how to keep up this friendship that we’ve built. My side was always being stacked and built up with bricks and pieces aimed at winning her over, assuming that we’d be together. I understand now more than I ever did before that I was being unfair in a way. I wasn’t building just friendship with no strings. I built a friendship with hope. With the desire for the friendship to lead to something else.”
Through it all, even when he was hurt and angry at Harper he still looked out for her. He understood her in ways I don’t even think her family did.
Speaker of her family. I LOVED THEM!!!! I’m seriously hoping the brothers get their own series because the dynamic they had with Harper and Chase was so good to see. Even though they were these big, bad football players they didn’t really shy away from the emotional side. They didn’t sit down and open up completely but they were there for Chase when he needed it. Showed their love and support to him in a truly humbling, and fantastic scene.
Then we have Harper. Wishy washy female characters can really rub me the wrong way (men too). Though Harper was running hot and cold at times there was such depth to it it never bothered me. She had her own insecurities and demons to fight. The biggest one being herself and how she viewed herself. As less. And watching Chase show her just how much she meant to him and how perfect she was for him was heart melting. Oh my word this book!!!! I could go on and on about it but you seriously just need to read it for yourself.
