[Emma (SCR)]

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free for a Blog Tour in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.I've literally just finished this book and my reactions is bbbb. I don't even know how to formulate a word right now.

So I loved this book. I loved the relationship between Adam, Bobby and River.

River is your typical girl struggling through life. Except she's in love with her best friend, and has been for nearly 10 years. I found River very relatable and realistic. I honestly felt so sorry for her being in love with a guy who clearly didn't realise.

Bobby was a sweetie. He's been in love with River for nearly 10 years. River has been his best friend just as long. They grew up together and know each other inside out. But there's one problem...one big problem River is in love with his little brother Adam.

Adam, oh adam. He is definately my type. I am so an A&F girl, I'd let him make me breakfast everyday! He's hot, damaged but totally loveable. Everyone knows Adam is a player and the only person he loves is himself.....or does he?

This book is super addictive. I read it so quickly. It has totally left me reeling. I'm a mix of emotions and I can't tell up from down right now. I cannot wait for the rest of the series. I need to know what is going to happen next. I cannot cope with it ending like this.

Wow! What a ride with this story. I generally don't like love triangles, because undoubtedly the guy I like isn't the one that gets the girl. But this one has a bit of a twist, involving a girl and two brothers.

River has been best friends with the Beckerson brothers, Bobby and Adam, since she was a little girl. She's best friends with both of them, but her feelings for have been very clear: she loved Bobby as a brother and Adam as so much more. I felt a little sorry for River, because she just couldn't let go over her feelings for River. She watched women parade in and out of his life, getting her heart broken a little bit each time. As she pines away for River, Bobby is always there, flirting and dropping little comments that very clearly make her aware of his feelings for her. You knew she didn't want to be put in the middle of the brothers, but because of the feelings everyone had, there was no way not to get in the middle.

It was hard not to love Adam. He grew up being cast aside by his parents, who only had eyes for their golden eldest son, Bobby. So thinking he's not good enough, because his parent constantly drum that into his head, he doesn't think he's good enough for River, who he loves. He goes about dealing with the feelings he fights by having a revolving door of women, but we know who he wants. You almost want to fist pump when he finally grows a pair and fesses up to his feelings.

There was a huge shocker towards the end of the book, one that changes the entire dynamic of the relationship between the brothers and River. Luckily, we're close enough to the Spring 2014 release day of book 2 in the series that I can patiently wait to see what happens next.
