A Stellar Year
Nomi Phillips is done dating. She has vowed to take a break from it for a minimum of 365 days. That's one full year to get her life back on track and learn to love herself so that she can, in turn, be loved the way she feels she ought to be. Owen Blankfield is a notorious playboy and the town's most eligible bachelor. He also happens to be her brother's best friend. He's got no solid plans for the future and is content living a carefree life. However, when he sees Nomi's success with her vow, Owen decides to follow suit, effectively taking him off the market -- and putting him more on Nomi's radar than ever before. As the two spend more time together and help one another grow, their feelings for each other blossom from friendship into something much more. Only, they've got a year before they can fully explore those emotions. By then, will either of them have accomplished what they set out to do? And will it mean a future that includes them being together? Only time will tell. TRIGGER vulgar language, bullying, racism, body-shaming

This is a quick-read NA novel with a slow-burn romance. Nomi has grown up with Owen since he's her brother's best friend. Lately, she's seeing him in a different light, and he's hot for her too. Too bad she's sworn off dating and sex for a full 365 days! Owen, the serial womanizer, will have to prove to Nomi that he's serious about wanting a relationship with her. I look forward to reading more of Rose's work in the future.

Was so happy to ARC read this book.
I read it in two days.
It was definitely a slow burn which I don't usually read that often, but it really worked.
I enjoyed the story and loved the months instead of chapters.
The characters are very lovable and the story was a real page turner.
The build up to the Steamy scenes was great and kept me very intrigued.

This is such a quick and fun read. I enjoyed the character development of Owen and Nomi. I also liked how the chapters were sorted be the months of Nomi’s challenge.

I loved this book! Couldn't put it down. I love a good friends to lovers romance, and when it's your brother's best friend, it's even better 😏. I loved watching their relationships change and grow over that year. Sometimes things change for the better when the right one comes along.
