Things are about to get rocky for Dean Wentworth and Willow Wade.
Willow Wade is used to living in the spotlight, with her father a famous drummer in the band Willow Creek—her namesake—it’s been a lot to live up to and oftentimes she doesn’t feel she’s enough. But there has always been one person she could turn to.
Dean Wentworth knows a thing or two about how crippling a name can be. His family is worth billions after all. But Dean’s always been content to do his own thing. Play his guitar. Work on cars. And geek out to his various “nerdoms”.
But when Willow turns up unexpectedly, he realizes maybe there is more in life he wants.
Her.
One trip will change their lives forever.

What do you do when you realize that you have feelings for your best friend?
Willow is the daughter of Maddox from the Willow Creek series. Dean is the son from the Trace and Olivia series. When I found out there was going to be a series about the kids from Micalea’s other series I was so excited. I love everything Micalea does, and she did not disappoint me with this book. You get to see your favorite characters from past series and see where they went in their lives. I felt like that was the most exciting part.
It starts off with Willow going home after being away at college for a year. She was supposed to go on a road trip with her friends for the summer, but the ended up bailing on her. Disappointed, Willow knows that she has to go home. She ends up going to see her best friend Dean who works at the same shop that his dad works at. When Willow let him know about her idea of the road trip he came up with the idea of going with her.
Excited Willow of course doesn’t want to wait a second. They head off with no special place in mind. It’s all about enjoying the experience. The only thing is they both have these feelings that they don’t quite understand. Do they really want to possible ruin their friendship to see where these feelings go?
I can’t wait for the next book to see more of the kids and to see where my Willow Creek boys have been. This book was so amazing that I know the next one will be even better.

Review by: Rose
Friends to Lovers Willow and Dean take a road trip. The Road is open and they don’t really have a destination in mind, Just the two of them and the road ahead.
Willow is Maddox’s daughter from the Willow Creek Series. I loved this series and was very excited to get my hands on this book. Willow and Dean grew up together, after Willow leaves for college they lose a little contact. Willow is back and wants to go on a road trip.
The road trips opens up feelings for each other after years of friendship. Can they be more than friends? Each one is too guarded to make the first move.
Take a trip with Willow and Dean you will not be disappointed.
Michaela has become of one my favorite Authors, I have loved every book she has written. I just feel this story needed more and so many questions unanswered, I am sure we will read more about Willow and Dean in the series and I can not wait.
4.5 Stars

Excerpt
Those bitches were gonna die.
That was a horrible thing to say about my so-called ‘friends’—and I used the word friends loosely, because true friends wouldn’t ditch you the day of your scheduled road trip because they’d rather be sunbathing in the Hamptons.
The fucking Hamptons.
Ew.
I mean, how clichéd could you get.
This was why I hated rich people.
It also sucked that I was one of those rich people.
Well, I wasn’t, but my dad was.
So by extension so was I.
When you grew up with a rock star for a dad, cameras and eyes followed you everywhere. It was exhausting.
I couldn’t just be Willow.
I was Willow Wade.
The daughter of the famous drummer Maddox Wade.
People expected greatness from me.
I just wanted to graduate college without slitting my wrists.
