Never Say Never by Lily Miller is available October 8th!
Tucker Collins.
Treasured college football coach by day, Reed Point’s most notorious bachelor by night—and the thorn in my side for the past 10 years.
It wasn’t always that way. Once upon a time, Tucker and I were inseparable. We grew up next door to each other and he was almost like a brother to me. My closest friend. But as we got older, things started to change. Secretly, I loved his cocky grin and the way his blue eyes would lock on mine. I was resigned to lusting after him from afar until one day he kissed me—only to reject me the very next day.
Since then, I’ve tried to keep as much distance between Tucker and I as possible. When we do cross paths, which is more often than I’d like seeing as our parents are best friends, that man still knows exactly how to get under my skin.
Then one night, Tucker corners me on a date and demands to know who the guy is. I tell him it’s just a fling, not that it’s any of his business. The truth is I’m leaving town in a few months, so I’m not looking for anything serious. But when I admit to having certain needs, Tucker comes up with an agreement.
That’s how I end up in a frienemies-with-benefits pact with my childhood best friend. We have a list of rules—no sleeping over, no cuddling and definitely no falling in love. But before long it’s taking everything in me not to break every single one.
Catching feelings for Tucker Collins is a very bad idea. There are a million reasons why I should walk away.
But it’s hard to leave when I’m having so much fun. Tucker is Reed Point’s hottest bachelor. The boy who broke my heart. And my new dirty secret.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Never Say Never is the first book I’ve read by Lily Miller, and I loved Tucker and Daisy’s story!
These two were childhood best friends who were practically raised as brother and sister since they are next-door neighbors and their parents are best friends. They shared a kiss 10 years ago, but Tucker broke Daisy’s heart when he told her the next day that it was a mistake. As it turns out, the mistake was not fighting for what he felt for her! The secret tattoo! That gets me every time!
Their reunion starts out as a secret friends-with-benefits pact with a set expiration date because Daisy is about to leave on a three-month trip. But before they even get to that point, these two have fallen head over heels in love with one another, and faced some judgement over the nature of their childhood friendship. I really liked the friendship Daisy and Tucker fell back into once they reunited, and I loved how vulnerable he was when it came to his father’s disapproval. I thought there was a lot of growth from both characters over the course of this book, but especially from Tucker. He was a swoony book boyfriend, and I loved seeing how he fell hard for Daisy. She’d always been the one for him!
I appreciate a set-in-the-future epilogue, so I was very happy to see where Tucker and Daisy are with their brood of kids eight years in the future. It was a very satisfying HEA for a couple that I very much enjoyed reading about.
Never Say Never is part of the Haven Harbor series, but is a true standalone. Tucker’s neighbors are his closest friends, but I never felt like I was missing pieces of a story being referenced about the other couples. However, I am interested in going back to check out those books now!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
