Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Inkslinger PR in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.I enjoy a good friends to lovers romance, but I wasn't sure how the author was going to make this one work, considering what had happened to Emersyn. But somehow she made this one work.
Having been friends since they were young children, Eli and Emersyn had been there for each other for all the big events of their lives. So when Emersyn's life falls apart, it's not surprising that it's Eli who gives Emersyn the reason she needs to start living again.
I liked Emersyn and Eli together. It was very obvious how much the two of them loved each other, even when it was just as a friend. And it was clear that when feelings changed between they fought their attraction for fear of losing their friendship. As much as I wanted the two of them together, I could appreciate them being leary of losing the one constant they've had since they were kids.
After all the build-up to their relationship, I did feel like everything tied up a little too quickly. But the epilogue did a lot to make up for that.
