BLURB
I found the woman of my dreams. And then she introduced me to her boyfriend.
Signing up for a yoga class in order to woo the gorgeous instructor could not have gone worse.
First, the class I attended was actually for pregnant women, and I looked like an idiot.
Second, her boyfriend showed up—the one I didn’t know about. The small town rumor mill had let me down.
So I waited. Desperately hoping one day Sadie Miller would see me as more than her charming mechanic friend who flirts with her like it’s his job.
For years I watched her with that jerk—watched as her light dimmed and her smiles faded.
Until one night—one alarming discovery—set us on a different path.
Now I’m her protector, rescuer, friend, roommate—whatever she needs me to be.
What I can’t be is anything more than that.
Even if her body feels perfect nestled against mine.
Even if I know she’ll taste better than any fantasy I’ve ever had.
Because this isn’t about what I want, it’s about what Sadie needs. And she sure as hell doesn’t need her lovesick roommate making a move on her.
But the minute she lets me, I’m going to be everything she could ever want.
I’m gonna look for rainbows. Today, my rainbow is covered in grease, wears flannel, and makes me smile.
ARC REVIEW
I absolutely adored this story. It was beautiful, inspirational and swoony.
I LOVE Sadie. I love her strength. I love that she knew that she wasn’t in a good situation and took the actions to get herself out of it and protect herself. Yet, despite being put down continuously I love that she was still a bright light. Sean deserves the boyfriend of the year award. He is protective, caring, sweet, and patient when it comes to Sadie. I absolutely loved him from the very start until the very end.
Sean and Sadie’s friendship was amazing. Their chemistry is fantastic. I love that neither of them rushed into anything further with each other despite the insane amount of chemistry that was between them from the moment they met. Their relationship felt like a natural progression and was just perfect for the two of them.
On a side note, Lauren is literally my favorite person ever and I just want to be best friends with her.
This story does deal with topics and situations that may be difficult for some to read so please read the warnings before continuing with the story. I will say the way these topics were handled was done in a graceful way.
If you’re looking for a small town, friends to lovers, forced proximity romance this is one to check out.
