Publisher's summary

Justin and Toni were friends.

Besties, with a whole list of life rules developed over a friendship that started when they were kids. As long as they stuck to the rules, even when they blended a business relationship into the friendship, things went off without a hitch.

But then one of them broke the rules - it was Justin. Justin broke the rules - and Toni has been mad about it ever since.

She's spent the last several years traveling the globe to cultivate her business, but now she's back in town. Her only goals? Help her parents with "Mr. Bestseller's" signing at the store, help them pack up their house to sell, and get out of town without too much interaction with her former best friend.

Mr. Bestseller has different goals.

He broke the rules - no getting around that, and he's not trying to. His main goal now that Toni is finally home is to get her to hear him out...and get his friend back.

Neither of them anticipated that the rift in their relationship would be the catalyst for seeing each other in a whole different light. But now that they do, they're wondering if it may be time to make some amendments to those rules.

Or at the very least...bend a few.

Contains mature themes.

Good ending to the series

When there is a big build up to the reveal of the wrongdoing, it can be hit or miss. This was a home run. Such a good read.

Stubborn, but Sweet!

The Wright brothers are like Sour Patch candies - salty, then sweet! Honestly, Toni was tap-dancing on my damn nerves with her indecision and stubbornness through this book. I understand the instinct to protect herself from being hurt again, but DAMN, sis. SAY WHAT YOU FEEL and stop waiting for people to read your mind! Also, quit having both sides of the conversation without getting the other person’s perspective and making all these assumptions! I felt exasperated by this character. Overall, though, I enjoyed the cast of characters and laughed aloud several times at the exchanges between the Wright brothers and their father!

The best for last

This was the best story out of the series in my opinion. I didn't particularly care for the enemy's to lovers storyline in the previous books. However, with this story , the mending of a broken friendship was a much more realistic story line in my opinion.

BFFs

I love a good BFF story! The dynamics of this relationship was powerful and says something about friendship. I also appreciate the reminders of the previous books!

Great chemistry

Least favorite of the series but still enjoyed it. Extremely frustrating at times and took way too long to become a couple. Wish we had more of them as an actual couple.

Excellent

Loved the banter. The comedy, The passion, the innocence. Feels familiar. A good balance of laugh and love. Book 3 is the best of this series!

Wonderful!

This was so much fun to listen to. It was humorous and frustrating too. I didn't think the two main characters would ever pull it together even though they loved each other.
