⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. Friends-to-lovers, plenty of drama, and plenty of steamy hotness.

BLURB

Avery loves her job, she works with her sisters, she has great friends, and she loves living with her best friend, Declan. They have kept each other firmly in the friend zone, but the lines get blurred after Avery is in a car accident and Declan takes on her care.

At the start Declan made some bad decisions because he was left off-kilter after Avery dressed up all sexy to go on a date. It left a super nervous Avery to drive by herself in the rain with her less-than-reliable car. She ends up in a bad accident and in need of constant care when she is discharged from the hospital. Declan offers to be her nurse. Avery and Declan end up spending a lot of time in close proximity because of all the physical help that Avery needs.

my thoughts

Declan tends to overreact first and think later. He did it when he saw Avery all dressed up for her date before the accident and he did again in a big way later on when Avery and Sam had their meeting. He did take very good care of Avery, but he let his insecurities override everything else. Avery stood up for herself and demanded more from Declan.

The ending is sweet and emotional and wraps everything up nicely. Declan ended up doing the mature thing by getting help.

I really liked the writing style. It’s fun and the plot moves at a good pace. The developing relationship between Avery and Declan progressed nicely.
