⭐️ 5 "More Than Friends" Stars ⭐️
I read the first two novels in the Sutter Lake Series last year and was utterly charmed by them. It was more than time for me to dive back into this series and finally read Beautifully Broken Spirit. I still can't believe I let that much time passe before reading Jensen and Tuck's romantic story! This novel is hands down my new favorite in the series.

There was the perfect balance between emotional, steamy and suspenseful. This couple was seriously so perfect for each other and after years in denial of their feelings, to finally watch them giving a go at something more than frienship was amazing. Jensen is truly a beautiful soul. She's always there to lend a hand at others, she's caring and a devoted single mom. Under all this lovely personality, she still dreams of finding true love. In fact, love has always been there in the form of her long time best friend, Tuck.

That man had me melting! He was so perfect for Jensen with the way he cared and was so protective of her. Even if he acted like a true friend, his deeper feelings were so apprent in his every action. I felt sad watching him deny himself a relationship with the girl of his dreams for years. I was more than ecstatic for them to embark on a friends with benefits relationship that could only lead to them exposing their real feelings long kept hidden.

This romance was lovely and kept me on my toes with thrilling mysteries happening in Sutter Lake. The whole cast was once again what made this read so captivating! I won't make the mistake again of putting the series aside, I'm starting book four of the series right away!
