Boone Mason was the best thing I have read in a while. He is the youngest of the Mason clan, but he is the sweetest, kindest, hilarious, gentleman ever. He likes to joke especially with his brothers and though he may come across as carefree and laid back he deeply cares about others. Jaxi is struggling with the decisions that have led her to where she is in life even if most of the events that have happened has been out of her control, she still carries the guilt. When she gets an opportunity to start fresh, she grabs a hold of it and is determined to make the best of it. Taking some much-needed time away until she starts her new adventure, she stays at her cousin’s house, but an innocent mistake has her coming face to face with the handsome Boone. These two have an instant chemistry and an amazing banter that comes naturally but so many things happen, and Boone can’t help but want to be the one Jaxi turns to. When it rains it pours and Jaxi is experiencing that firsthand, can she let her pride go for a second and allow others to help her or will she be too stubborn to realize it’s ok to let others in? Can Boone convince her that her past doesn’t define her, but he loves everything she is and comes with? Will these two find their peace with each other and help each other navigate these new waters or is pride too much of a thing to let others in? A cute and fun read that had me loving the family dynamics of the Mason clan while also falling head over heels in love with Boone. At times I wanted to shake Jaxi because she was too stubborn, but after all she’s endured, I could understand why she would feel the way she does. ( )

4.5 stars

This was a fun read. I enjoyed the characters and the bantering. I love how tight-knit this family is. I found myself chuckling quite a few times as they teased each other. So much so, that I'm having a hard time picking my favorite. However, after this book, I did fall under the spell of Boone.

The interactions with Rosie melted my heart. I did wish that parts of that situation had been fleshed out a bit more but I let those feelings go because the story was just that cute.

Can't wait for the next brother. ( )
