Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Throughout the Baileys series, we’ve seen bits of Juno and Colton’s friendship, a friendship that the family matchmaker insisted was completely platonic. Now we know about the occasional hookups between them over the years — and how Juno couldn’t admit to herself that she was in love with her best friend until he was about to marry someone else.

Getting the backstory to their friendship — just how deep their connection runs — was amazing. And there is an awesomely sweet scene between Colton and Liam (Savannah’s husband) in a flashback chapter, where they declare that they need to be there for the siblings, that made me feel all gooey inside.

Despite being a matchmaker — the gene apparently ran in her mom’s family — Juno is the worst when it comes to finding herself a mate. Colton has been right in front of her for their entire lives, but she’s been blind to his feelings. Now that he’s about to marry beautiful, exotic Brigette, Juno is starting to panic. The pain she feels in having lost her parents at a young age has affected all of Juno’s relationships since then, but most especially the one she has with Colton. She’s so afraid to be left behind by him that she’s afraid to take a chance on moving forward.

The confrontation between them when Juno finally tells him what she’s been feeling is EPIC. I loved that Colton lashed out at her rather than just falling at her feet. Of course, they kiss and make up shortly after, and then give a real relationship a shot. It’s a wonderful slow-burn romance, but will Juno’s hangups get the better of them before they can really become something more?
Juno and Colton’s book hit all the right boxes for a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance. And that tease at the end leading to Kingston’s book had me screaming out in frustration! Holy smokes!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
