Spoiler filled review / description:
Lia joins SSS (Secret society of scrabble) where she meets Breaker and they become friends who like to play a bunch of nerdy board games. Breaker is getting sued by one of his ex employees for a hostile work environment even though the employee named Gemma would torment and hide supplies. Lia has a now fiance named Brian and she is making every excuse not to tell Breaker about their soon to be marriage. Brian thinks it's possible they have feelings for each other even though she keeps reassuring him she doesn't. She's stressed because her parents are not there to celebrate with her anymore. Mrs. Beaver (Brian's mom) is a huge control freak while Brian is a major mama's boy and is turned all the way off. Breaker decides to make Lia's life easier, he would become the "maid" or man of honor in her wedding since she doesn't have any other support. He seeks help from his brothers JP and Huxley to decide what he should do with Lia and their relationship. Breaker and Brian are trying to put their bad blood to rest when Brian asks Breaker on a double date, A BLIND double date with a woman names Birdy. Ever since the blind date Lia seems to notice Breaker more and want him ever since noticing how interested he was in another woman. The more sexual tension growing between Birdy, the awkwardness and jealousy grows between the jealousy and awkward space grows between Breaker and Lia. He is even leaving more room for her and Brian to spend time with one another. Breaker realizes he is starting to love Lia and fully panics. after a bad cake tasting Lia starts yelling at Brian and his mom because they keep disrespecting her and she throws off the wedding. Breaker is Happy and slowly makes a move on her. They had their first time making each other orgasm after drinking, the day of the engagement got broken up. It was HOTT. But Lia bailed immediately after the experience scared it would ruin the friendship. They eventually buildup their relationship because she has never seen that side of him, Breaker wants to make her comfortable and gives her time to adjust to him and the sexual side before even having sex. By the end their feelings only seem to grow heavier and he ends up asking her to marry him during the epilogue.
Final thoughts:
Their first sexual experience was explosive and the passion and built/pent up passion was more than worth it. I finished the book and was amazed by the author. She sure knows how to write a well written love story with backstory that just makes sense. This was such a freaking adorable story and I would recommend it, a fantastic friends to lovers book with heavy HEAVY passion.
