I'm so late with this review but better late than never!

@claireivyauthor 's first series really captured my attention so of course I jumped at the chance for an ARC of her new series  This one does work as a standalone, but I would encourage you to read the other series first it helps to know characters and backgrounds.

I love a good slow burn and make it friends to lovers and it gets real interesting. I loved their friendship so much. I love how they took care of each other and loved each other before it turned romantic.

But I really love Scott's family they have such a tight bond. Partially how it's always been but also because tragedy tightened it. There is a trigger warning for 9/11 so be aware and read that. 

I loved how Scott and Jenna both had great support systems but especially how Scott's gave him a swift kick in the butt when he needed it. 

I'm excited to see where book 2 will take us.

I received an advanced copy of this book from the author. This is my honest review.
