A Fast Read …

A older woman, younger man, who is also the best friend’s brother. This was a fast and comical read. It reminded me of a Alexa Riley novella. Over the top, instant love, suspend your disbelief type read. It’s a book not to take seriously … and I didn’t. 

I did have issues with several typos.

I'm just going to start off this review with how much I disliked this read. This book looked soo appealing being the "best friend's younger brother" trope but overall it just was not written well. Everything moved too fast (even for a novella) and skipped to the future with really no details necessary to the plot provided for what happened in between.

This is the book in a nutshell so it's ALL spoilers...

The fmc is an obnoxious wreck of a person and I hated her character from the first page. Her and her best friend's brother had a past where he was crushing on her and ultimately an incident happened right before she was to be married—she was denying her feelings. Cuts years later to her being married and her husband cheating so she decides to go to a singles retreat which is really a sex retreat. BUT GUESS WHAT?! The best friend's brother is the owner of this retreat and things get heated, yet she still decides to push him away, be alone the rest of the retreat, and then fly back home where she is living with her best friend now because of her divorce. Oh, but best friend's brother comes and waits outside and it's a complete flip. They hook up and then all of the sudden she is off having scandalous hookups with him all the time and ignoring her best friend and her maid of honor duties (this all happens within like 5 pages btw... that's how fast this is). Best friend catches her in the lie, they have a falling out, but she is still MOH for the wedding. The wedding comes, best friend apologies, best friend's brother grovels for her back, everything is good and dandy...

This would have been good if it was written well. Everything just moved soo fast and it had soo many personality flips that stuff just didn't make sense. That is all.
