REVIEW
Rating: ☆☆☆☆
Friends to lovers - oh my!
Liam has been the rock in Cassidy's life for so long so when she discovers her fiance and supposed best friend together on her wedding day, it is Liam she turns to for support. It is LIam who pulls out of the darkness and into the light again.
Liam has held a torch for Cassidy for as long as he has known her but circumstances never lined up to give him a chance with her...until now. However, Cassidy needs to work through her betrayal and allow her heart to recognise Liam. Liam's patience level and commitment to her shows no bound. Cassidy reluctance to move forward with Liam is due to her fear of losing him for good if their relationship doesn't work out. She has to decide if Liam is worth the fight.
This was a sweet read. Her ex-best friend was vile and her cheating fiance misguided. However I loved Liam - I need a Liam, someone who is kind, caring, patient and puts your needs first. Cassidy and Liam are so destined to be together - they just fit. I really enjoyed this read and these characters.
I feel like I've been slapped across the face. Blindsided.
This couldn't have been the first time they fucked each other. It had to have been going on for a while. How did I not see it? Unless I was at work, I was generally with one of them. Between wedding planning and social engagements, Garrett and I were busy. Kendra was right there with us, helping with the little details. Offering to take care of things for me when the end of the school year had me stressed out.
If they had been sneaking around, I would have seen the signs. Right?
Does it even matter now?
Watching her ride him was enough. There's no doubt in my mind after seeing that. No matter when it started or how long it's been going on, they can have each other now. I want nothing to do with either of them.
I should have called them out when I caught them. Instead, I ran. Right out the closest set of doors and into Liam's firm chest. My face must have said it all. One look at me and he swooped me up in his arms and carried me away, leaving his date hollering after us.
My eyes were locked on the church as he drove past. My heart broke a little more when I spotted Liam's father out front. Probably looking for me. Waiting to walk me down the aisle.
I'll have to apologize to him later. To explain why I disappeared. But not yet. I'm not ready. It was hard enough to get the words out when Liam finally asked what happened. At least with him, I didn't have to sugarcoat things or watch my language.
I found Garrett fucking Kendra.
That was my answer. Plain and simple. And because he knows me better than anyone else, he knew not to push me any further. Not that I could have answered any questions if he had asked them.
I don't know what would possess my best friend to fuck my future husband. I don't know what they were thinking. I'm not sure what I did to deserve their betrayal.

Rachael is a Midwest girl (yes, they say she has an accent but no, she doesn’t hear it) who loves to create amazing stories that tug at your heartstrings with book boyfriends that you wish were real. She keeps her storylines realistic – either she’s heard about it happening to someone or feels that it could happen in real life. She also likes her characters to be relatable so she tries to give them at least one characteristic that is similar to someone she knows.
When she’s not writing her next novel, you can find her hanging out with her husband and son. She enjoys golfing but is still learning, so if you see her on the course… stand back.
