The book started great with the tension between Juniper and Pheonix. It was incredible from the first time they lay eyes on each other and the attraction was instant but each of them was fighting it for their own reasons.

Juniper is a single mother to 2-year-old Cross and she is very careful of who enters his life so she has been single since conceiving him.

Pheonix is the eldest of the Stone brothers, he is fond of his single life and does not was to love or commit like EVER!

I liked most of the characters, especially Pheonix's brothers. There were moments when I was smiling from the funny dialogue.

A lot of twists and turns in this novel which I enjoyed mostly except that the love scenes kept repeating and it seems they turned into bunnies. It was just too much and with nothing new.

The unnecessary angst Pheonix was dealing with was annoying and the ending was rushed with a cliffhanger.

I might continue with the series since the other brothers are interesting.

Thanks to Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Blue is feeling blue after his ex dumped him 6 months ago and he is drowning his sorrows at the bar of the resort his sister is doing her wedding at in a week. He knows that his ex is invited to the wedding and he is a bit worried to see him.
Then a handsome stranger sits next to him at the bar and somehow Blue spills his guts only to see his ex coming into the bar with a new beau. It was completely devastating and humiliating that he has no one as a plus one for the wedding to at least show that he has moved along. When he confesses that to the stranger (Tristan) this stranger does a very bold and hot move that makes Blue's knees go weak.
They then decide to play a charade and try to convince everyone that they are a couple. But will things start to get real for them?!

Those two are just adorable together, the humor, the flirting and the hot stuff is just amazing! This was a debut novel for the author and since I loved the characters and the Marian clan I decided to buy the next book immediately. I also loved that the chapters were alternating between Blue and Tristan so I get to know what each was thinking! So refreshing!!

This is an M/M read and has very explicit hot scenes, not for the faint at heart ;)
