Synopsis: Casey is a 28-year-old bookish virgin who shares a house with her brother and his two best friends, Darius and Gareth. Gareth splits his time between being a firefighter and competing in the Highland games. He can have any girl he wants but he doesn’t do relationships. Desperate to lose her virginity, Casey proportions Gareth for lessons. Worried that she will find another guy instead, Gareth agrees to do it as long as can maintain their friendship.
Review: I had no idea what to expect going into this but holy smokes! I had in my head that this was closed-door but that is definitely not the case! Every single scene was absolute magic. The chemistry was perfection, the slow burn was perfectly executed, and the tension between the characters was exquisitely written.
I am a sucker for a good friends-to-lovers romance and then sprinkle in a secret relationship and my heart is melting.
I love how gentle and kind Gareth is with Casey. He is so cautious about losing his friendship with her so he desperately tries to put his feelings aside so that he doesn't destroy everything. You can feel his love for her so much in the writing.
I liked that Casey was very level-headed. She didn’t jump to conclusions about Gareth and tried to remain calm and supportive, even when everything started to go sideways.
I don’t know if there are going to be more books in this series or if it's a standalone but I really hope there is more to come!
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
