This was a first time read for Daisy Prescott and I found myself rather enjoying this quick read. It can be read as a standalone, but I have a feeling that reading the previous books in this series will give you better insight about the rest of the supporting characters. With a writing that flows effortlessly and with likable characters, it won't be the last time I'll read something from Prescott.
I was a little surprised and set back (a little) by the love triangle aspect that seemed to happen. But once you dive more into the story, you'll quickly figure out where everyone's emotions are at. We have the heroine, Mae, who I was a bit iffy about at first, there was a brief moment of her being a bit quick to judge and shallow. I definitely felt for her as she was the only single gal among all the couples, it's tough being the odd one out despite how happy you are for everyone. With her cousin's wedding on the horizon, her mother and the mother of her high school fling are in cahoots to get their children be dates to the wedding. With Landon being the cocky womanizing man that he is, he tends to have one thing on his mind and sees Mae as a challenge. And Mae being cornered, she hesitantly agrees to be his date to appease their mothers.
And that brought big brother Aiden into the picture, which is the man everyone will be rooting for. The better brother, the actual decent human being who seems to have always had a little thing for Mae, but it didn't manifold into more until he sees her again. And it's pretty evident that the attraction is strong between Mae and Aiden.
There we have a little sibling rivalry when only one truly wants to be with her for the right reasons.
Sooo, yes there are three characters involved, but it's so very clear from the beginning what will happen. Landon was just such an unlikeable character in this one and he definitely didn't have me rooting for him. I was a bit taken aback with Mae as she would easily believe some of the things he'd say about his brother Aiden, which were absolutely false. You can definitely sense the little bit of hostility between Landon and Aiden.
I was hoping for a bit more romance in this one, but it didn't stop me from enjoying this light read. Prepare yourself to completely swoon over Aiden!
If you're looking for a light read with zero angst, give this one a go! Can't wait to read the rest of this series.
