Description:
He wasn’t what she was expecting...
Derek Carmichael has harbored a secret crush on his best friend’s older sister for years, but she’s always been out of his reach. Now that Hannah is back in their hometown and newly single, suddenly the five-year age gap doesn’t seem so huge. But convincing her to see him as more than just the kid she used to know is another story.
Hannah Willmett can’t believe how grown-up Derek Carmichael has become. The troubled kid from her youth has turned into a sexy, successful TV celebrity, but Hannah’s wary of his player past and the rampant rumors connecting him to beautiful socialites. Still, she can’t help but give in when their attraction reaches a boiling point.
Trying to keep their fling a secret from her overprotective brother is one thing, but when Hannah finds herself unexpectedly expecting, her life is thrown upside down. She and Derek may be becoming parents together, but that’s no basis for a happily-ever-after.
Review:
Aw this book was so sweet and adorable. I loved the way the writing flowed easily and
it was a quick and enjoyable read. It’s
tough when things happen unexpectedly but sometimes really they are just meant
to be. Coleen Kwan kept me interested
from the very beginning and has definitely left me wanting more from other
characters as well.
We meet Derek who is back in town to take care of his
grandfather, one thing leads to another and he runs into his best friend’s
sister. He just so happened to have a
major crush on her when they were kids, it’s always adorable to see crushes
from young people grow up and turn into something more meaningful. I mean really how many times have you thought
or dreamed about a best friend, or a sibling’s friend, and hoping that it would
work out one day. It’s the curse of
being around the same people all your lives, but this book was adorable to no
end.
I enjoyed the fact that this book was not overly explicit
but it seemed all very innocent and sweet and realistic really. I loved the whole best friend aspect of the
book, the other characters in the book were also intriguing especially the idea
of Caleb (Hannah’s Brother) and Amber (Hannah’s best friend), and how fun would
that be! Let’s not forget grouchy grandpa and his aide. Oh romance all around
for everyone, I’m down with that.
Overall I thought this book was great, can’t wait to check
out more from this author. The cover is
definitely what got me interested, then reading what the book was about but
what kept me interested were the words on the page, the story, the setting, and
the characters. Sometimes you have to
remember in life that it’s okay to lean on other people for help, you can’t
always do everything yourself and I really think that is a lesson that Hannah
learned. Total adorable story.
