Wow, just wow. I did not see all the twists and turns coming in this one. It’s a classic friends to more romance where he falls first and hard, but it’s also layered with mystery that keeps you hooked. I was completely blindsided by the ending in the best way. I absolutely loved it. This was only my second book by Denise, and I’m officially hooked. I’ve already started collecting more of her work.
When Maggie finally feels ready to move forward after the death of her husband, the last thing she expects is to come face to face with someone who looks exactly like her late husband. How is that even possible? Someone is hiding secrets from the past, and now they’re bubbling up at the worst possible moment. The timing of the lookalike’s appearance couldn’t have been worse.
Josh has loved Maggie his entire life, but as the wife of his late brother, she was always off limits. This summer, he’s finally ready to tell her how he feels, but he doesn’t know if she’ll ever see him that way. And with the mysterious lookalike stirring up confusion and old wounds, his long-awaited confession might not get the chance it deserves.
Y’all, this was such a page turner!!! And Josh, oh Josh. He is absolute perfection through it all. Patient, selfless, with a heart of gold. Even after having his heart shattered when Maggie married his brother, he stayed by her side, always giving, always supporting. It’s the ultimate friends to more love story, and it stole my heart.❤️
I gave this one 4.5, rounded to a 5!
I need to read more books by Denise ASAP!
