Mason-
My mother left me and my dad when I was three. I spent my childhood believing that women could not be trusted and that I needed to proceed with caution.
Until high school that is.
Suddenly as a teenager, girls were throwing themselves at me. Call it puberty or clear disinterest in them that left most pining for me.
By the time I got to college, I reveled in it.
I had no feelings, no emotions with them, I’d give them a quick ride, then send them on their way.
Except one.
My best friend’s sister.
Bailey-
One might say that I was the perfect daughter and sister.
I did everything right until I didn't.
I never expected to fall for a guy like my ex-boyfriend and the ramifications of that relationship's demise would change my life forever.
That's one of the reasons why I became a flight attendant. I craved to have my freedom back.
It wasn’t until I finally felt like everything was under control and that I had things figured out, that my life would truly be turned on its side.
And the only one I have to blame is my brother’s best friend.

GOODREADS:
Disclaimer: I received this book at no cost from the publisher/author. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I am leaving a voluntary review and all opinions are my own.
Ya'll, this book is chock full of so many tropes that I love! We've got enemies-to-lovers, brother's best friend, single mom, and friends-with-benefits to name a few.
The way that the author executed these tropes was fantastic. the writing style captured me straight away and the plot was so compelling that I couldn't put the book down. The world-building was so well-crafted that I felt like I was transplanted into the world.
These characters won me over from the get-go. I was so obsessed with them. These characters were extremely relatable and I empathized with them so much. Each character was filled with so much originality. I love how distinct all of the characters were. The character development was so satisfying and so thorough.
This was a spicy love story filled to the brim with emotions. The sexual tension between Bailey and Mason was off the charts. They had chemistry that leaped off the page.
Overall, this was an emotional and well-crafted story that really made an impression. There were heartwarming moments and intense moments that blended perfectly to create quite an inspiring story. This seems to be this author's debut and I am quite impressed with it. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for more from this author!
M.J. Huxley is originally from Los Angeles, California, but currently resides in the southwest. When she isn’t jamming out to 80’s music, eating tacos, or hanging out with her family she’s obsessively writing about the characters in her head who scream to have their stories read. Sometimes you can even find her daydreaming about being trapped in a Salvador Dali painting.
M.J, strives to tell authentic stories of raw, unfiltered, and imperfect love. She writes strong female leads who are products of their generation. These women fall hard, love deeply and live passionately. The men they choose will rock their worlds and shake them to their core.
Down the rabbit hole, you go...happy reading, fellow readers.
