3.5 rounded up!!

First and foremost, I did not realize this book was a series when I picked it up, but that did not make it any less enjoyable!

Rhodes and Elle have been best friends since they met at a party in college - but that didn't stop feelings for one another to develop. After years of wrong timing and not wanting to step over the line of friendship in fear or ruining what they have, Rhodes and Elle finally have the chance to move forward - under the guise of fake dating.

First and foremost, I loved Rhodes' son Levi! I actually wished there was more of him!! He was so cute and I loved how he loved Elle. The found family in this book is really touching, and definitely makes me want to check out the other books in this series. Elle's relationship with her parents and ex is something I think a lot of people can relate to, and I liked seeing her and Rhodes navigate that.

Onto Rhodes and Elle!! I love a man who's down bad. Rhodes did A LOT for me in this part of the book. I also love that this was told in an now and then format - so you got to see how strong their feelings for one another ran deep and the missed opportunities.

If youre looking for a cute little friends to lovers and easy read - definitely check this one out!
