There are lines best friends shouldn’t cross, but in Copper Ridge, Oregon, the temptation might be too much…
If practice makes perfect, Connor Garrett should be world champion of being alone. Since losing his wife he’s concentrated exclusively on his family’s ranch. Until Felicity Foster needs a place to stay and Connor invites her to move in temporarily. That’s what friends do. What friends don’t do? Start fantasizing about each other in their underwear. Or out of it…
Since high school, Liss has kept her raging crush in check. But helping Connor rebuild his life only reinforces how much she longs to be a part of it. One explosive encounter, and she’ll discover that getting what you always wanted can feel better than you ever dreamed…
MY THOUGHTS
This is the second book in the Copper Ridge series and I haven’t read the first one. The author does a great of providing the setting if you haven’t read any of the other books.
Liss and Conner have been best friends for years and was close with his now deceased wife. She always had a crush on him and didn’t make a fuss when he married Jess. She was loyal to both of them, but now, with Jess gone, Liss must decide if she should recognize that she still has feelings for Conner and take a chance that he might not reciprocate them. Now if Conner can only see that Liss is right for him. There is a lot of tension between the pair as they come to realize that the time is right for the two of them. Now if Conner can only see that Liss is right for him.
Liss seriously has her job cut out for her. Conner is moody and drinks because of his loss. At times, I wanted to shake Liss and say “why bother” but I could tell that she loved him and wanted to see him through his dark time. There is also a bit of humor mixed with this darkness, so it is on an even keel but still very emotional for me to read. I am now going back to read the first one and can’t wait for the third. Wonderful HEA.

Hello Maisey, a very romantic cover and good luck with the tour.
nice review. It sounds like it may be a sweet read for the summer. HEA are always a good thing. I’m just concerned that the heroine’s actions towards the hero will turn me off if he is as troubled as your review suggests.
