Find this review and more at kimberlyfaye reads . Bethany Lopez’s Friends & Lovers series continues on a high note with I Choose You, Nicole and Kent’s story. These two characters couldn’t be more different. Nicole comes from a strong (if pushy) and religious family. Her future was decided for her, until she made up her mind that she wanted more out of life than small-town life as a minister’s wife. Kent is a playboy. He had a rough time growing up with an abusive father. I liked each of these characters separately and somehow despite their differences, they worked wonderfully well together. Despite the seriousness of some of the themes in this book, it never felt too angsty or overly-emotional. Instead, it just felt real. The characters were realistic and believable. The dialogue fit the characters. It was a really good college-age fiction book. I feel like I could walk onto just about any college campus in the country and find a group of friends just like the one in this series. If you’re in the mood for a new adult series with sweet romance, a slight bit of heat and characters you can connect with, you should check Bethany Lopez’s Friends & Lovers out. They’re short, quick, enjoyable reads. I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
