» I loved the combination of Darcy being Hayden’s best friend’s ex-fiancée even though she and Hayden have been best friends themselves since day one at university.
» The pining! Oh, the sweet, delicious pining. Hayden has loved Darcy for YEARS and it gave me all the feels to read his inner monologue.
» Darcy was sweet, and I connected with her easily. My heart broke for her after learning more about Kit and her career. She kept Hayden on his toes; I loved that she had him wrapped around her little finger without even realising it.
» Hayden is book-boyfriend-gold 🏆 He was the perfect balance of golden retriever and possessive to make me bounce when he brought out the growl. He’s tragically misunderstood, and I cheered harder for him because of it.

❝I know I can’t deny my feelings for her anymore. I like her. I’ve always liked her. It’s not going away, no matter how hard I try. And teaching her the things she wants to learn? It just might kill me.❞
✩ Honourable mention to the Vancouver Storm team/ family. They do found family right, and the banter..! *chef’s kiss*
♡ This is my favourite flavour of friends-to-lovers. Years of pent-up longing and caring for someone in a bone-deep way. Rom-com perfection! Add it to your #tbr right now 👏
