When you fall in love with your best friend, it’s the kind of love that’s supposed to last forever.
Jo Donovan was a true believer of happily ever afters—until her best friend, Christopher, was killed in Afghanistan, destroying her belief that fairy-tale endings existed.
Destroying her. Destroying her world.
Five years later…
Jo finds herself still stuck in the past, unable to find closure with Christopher’s death.
When she moves to Austin, Texas, with her son, Junior, she’s finally given the fresh start she’s been desperately seeking.
What she doesn’t know is that the fresh start comes in the form of her sexy neighbor, Drew Greyson.
Their friendship starts off rocky, but eventually, a spark between them ignites. It isn’t long before that spark turns explosive, and she finds herself falling for him.
Drew wants to be her everything, her forever, but will Jo’s pain from losing Christopher stop her from following her heart?
Warning: Recommended for ages 18+ due to explicit language and sexual situations.

Review by: Tatia
This is one of those stories that breaks your heart and then slowly rebuilds it throughout its entirety.
Jo had her forever ripped from her hands. With a new baby, she has to keep going. For the next 5 years, her mourning over their loss doesn't ease. With no other option, she and her son pack up and move three hours away from the only family they've ever known. What she didn't know is that she was about to meet a major jerk.
When Drew meets his new neighbor, he can't stop thinking about her. While she was getting into him for his loud music, he couldn't stop thinking about how sexy she was. He does whatever he can to get her attention and keeps sending her little gifts hoping to win her over.
This story was a feel-good story. While my heart was broken in the beginning, just like Jo's, Drew helped piece it back together. These two, the energy they both had was beautiful. They worked so well together. Both have a witty, sarcastic sense to them, but know when it's time to be tone it down and be serious.
This had everything I love in a book. Elena Matthews has won me over. Even after the end, I just wanted to read more about Jo and Drew. All I can do is hope and dream for another book. But isn't that the thing about being a book junkie, when it comes to our favorite stories we are always hoping and wishing for more.
