Will

Will

Kat Savage2021
Willette Archer has a secret—though some would argue how well kept it actually is. As right-hand woman and best friend to the owner of Bird’s Eye Tattoo Studio, her job has become her whole life. So, she occupies her days with shop decisions to avoid her disappointing dating life. Of course, that might also have something to do with her two-decade old infatuation with her aforementioned best friend’s older brother. Derek Tanner is at a loss—with basically everything. His apartment lease is up, most of his belongings are somewhere in storage, and the good doctor has been pulling extra shifts at the hospital due to lack of staff. So, yeah. His life is chaos. Thanks to these wonderful circumstances, dating is nowhere on his radar. When his little brother suggests he stay in Willette’s spare room for the time being, he’s both grateful and hesitant. Sure, he grew up with Will too, but they’ve never been as close—let alone in close quarters. It doesn’t take very long for Doctor Derek to start seeing Will in a new light. This makes him think perhaps he should be examined. Will, on the other hand, is this close to feigning injury just so he’ll touch her already. When boundaries are crossed and relationships are finally taken to the next level, will Willette get exactly what she’s been hoping for since childhood, or will her fantasy be forever ruined?

I thought I loved Hawk, but Will's story surely is my favorite so far. Her character is extremely relatable, badass but real. Savage writes an amazing friends to lovers, best friends brother, story perfectly. Derek and Will's story is something special, one of those right in front of your eyes love stories. It's an extremely quick read because you want to keep reading. I loved seeing Hawk, Ava, and Drew mentioned and small updates on their lives as well as the boys who's stories are coming up. It gives the perfect tease to make me want to pick up book 3, (like there was even any doubt I would). The epilogue did throw me for a loop, I loved what happened but it definitely seemed a bit rushed. There were a few things that I would've liked to happen only if it were years down the road not months. I'm hopeful it will be mentioned in the next books but overall I loved this book so much. A great read.

First off, if you haven't read Hawk, go read it. I fell in love with Willette's character by how she treated Drew and couldn't wait to read "Will" because of it. Will is the best friend you could have. She's gorgeous, spunky, and covered in permanent artwork. She cares for the family she created out of friends at the tattoo shop. She may have the guys fooled into thinking she's a bit cold-hearted but she wears her heart on her sleeve. Also, she's secretly in love with her best friend/boss's brother and has been for as long as she could remember. Derek is the hot doctor who is currently living in chaos. He is in-between apartments, working all the time and living out of storage until he can find a place of his own and more hospital staff. After he ends up crashing with Will, he realizes he's noticing Will is all grown up. Only time can tell how this one plays out as Derek grows closer to Will and she still has a secret. No spoilers here but Kat has done it again with a riveting and emotionally toiling plotline that drags my heart through the woods of the main character's childhood memories. I hope you enjoy this steamy romance because I did and can't wait for the next one in the series. That's a 2 out of 2 Kat Savage books read that have not let me down. *I was given an advanced reader copy in return for an honest review. The author did not purchase my review or persuade me in any way. These thoughts and words are my own.*
