Cute
In this new series, we get to meet the Brewer family. Brandon is the oldest brother in the family, and Mia was his best friend growing up. Just like with most small town groups, these two grew apart due to miles apart, but now Brandon needs her again. My heart broke for Brandon and the loss of his dad, but can Mia get her head out of her butt and realize she belongs with him? I can't wait to read the next book in this set.

Mia returns home to Misty Mountain upon learning that her friend Brandon's father has died. Brandon welcomes Mia, and as she talks with him about the future of his family's business, can't help but hope for more.
Mia's character is fun, and I liked how she came into her own power through the story.
Spicy, short and sweet, this story has all the feels. I liked the introduction of Brandon's siblings. I would love to read more of them and see what else grew from their business.

Brandon was another quick and steamy story by Elsie James. This author is quickly becoming a top 5 favorite writer and this story just proves it. After Brandon's dad passes away unexpectedly, he calls his best friend, Mia for help. They grew up best friends until she moved to the city. Mia drops everything to return to the small mountain town to pay her respects and to be there for Brandon and his siblings. Will friendship turn into something more or will Mia return to her life in the city?

Friends to Lovers and more
This is a strong, short story that sets up the series for the right Brewer siblings. Brandon is a hottie, trying to keep life together for his seven younger brothers and sister. Mia is a kick-butt professional, who left Misty Mountain along time ago to pursue her career dreams. Brewer and Mia are reunited over a somber occasion. Each of them has had feelings for the other, yet neither of them has ever acted in those feelings. Is now the time? And what happens afterwards?
I love the friends to lovers trope and this book doesn’t disappoint.

This is a start to a new series and I thought it was real and had good characters. Their relationship was routed in a strong friendship and it was nice to see them look at growing that. Personally I would have liked to have seen them together more as I liked them so much. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next for Brandon and Mia and Brandon's siblings.

This was a great book to start a series. Brandon and Mia had grew up together. They were always together and they both loved eachother but never took it further then being friends. Mia got a phone call from Brandon and needed her to come home as soon as possible. These characters were relatable and realistic. The love story between Brandon and Mia is definitely worth reading this book for.

Short and sweet.
If you’re looking for a short, sweet, snappy read, you should read this book. I’m a sucker for the friends to lovers, unrequited love trope. The great thing about this book is that it leads you to the next sibling which means the overarching story continues to grow. Definitely going to read James’s book now!

Not sure if I had the full edition as it was very short. It was just okay. I felt like the couple coming together was just way too easy after so many years apart. And, for the heroine to just roll into town and make these grand suggestions on where the family should take their business didn't really feel authentic or realistic. Not good enough to continue with this series.

Brandon and Mia were sweethearts years earlier but decisions resulted in them breaking up. They stayed friends which was a Godsend for Brandon when his father died. This book is a tear jerker and love story. Brandon and Mia are a lovable couple who deserved their HEA.

Interesting series
Brandon and Mia‘s story was a unique twist on the front to love her Roman stories. I really like the fact The male character Relayed on his female friend it is usually the other way around. I’m glad they finally figured out their feelings for one another .

Lie I was upset for a moment when I thought Mia was just going to walk away from Brandon because she felt like she had to prove something of herself.. her boss was a grade A jerk and I’m glad she finally quit to give it a go with the love of her life…
