YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Billy Winston’s family is going to see him happy and in love if it’s the last thing they do.

No one deserves a happily-ever-after quite as much as the second oldest Winston brother and his lady love, Claire McClure (aka Scarlet St. Claire). Cruelty and circumstance tore them apart almost twenty years ago. Secrecy and bitterness kept them separated.

But you know who's tired of their separation and stubbornness? Everyone. Especially Billy Winston’s family. And now they're going to do something about it.

Well-meaning interference means the star-crossed lovers can’t stop tripping over each other in the hills of Tuscany, the catacombs of Rome, and the waterways of Venice. Billy and Claire find themselves thrown together and at the mercy of the Winston siblings’ shenanigans.

But will their forced proximity bring them together? Or push them even further apart?

This second-chance romance brings back the entire Winston gang, playing cupid in one last story of love, hi-jinks, and family collusion.

I got the book today so i'll join you guys if that's okay :)

Awesome!

I started

Chapter 4 done. (view spoiler)[these two are so stubborn 😭😭 I just want then to finally let go of the past!

Also I didn't expect to like Danielle so much! I'm glad Billy has a friend who understands, that he can confide in. I really want to know more about Dani and Curtis tho (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10 done (view spoiler)[im glad the Ben situation has been brought up. It made me really uncomfortable in the previous book and I'm happy that it's being tackled and Claire is acknowledging how terrible he actually was. Though she doesn't know yet the full extent of his manipulation.

I love how Cletus and the rest of the family is plotting. Hehehe (hide spoiler)]

starting today

Chapter 18 done (view spoiler)[progress!! They're so cute together omw. But I'm also worried about Billy and the razor situation. I hope he tells Cletus. Cletus always has a plan (hide spoiler)]

Done! (view spoiler)[i thought Cletus would solve the problem but scarlet did! I'm so happy for Billy and scarlet they've been the couple I was waiting to read about. I can't believe this series is over 😭 thank goodness we're getting a Cletus and Jenn series though.

What happened to Darell though? And did he stand as witness against razor? (hide spoiler)]

cant wait to hear your thoughts!!

Working on this now~!!

i only read the prologue today, didn't have time to read more. there is a lot of characters and information to take in but i'm sure i will get them as i read. it's going to be fun to see how the siblings will try to get Claire and Billy together.

have you guys read the previous books? Just curious

i haven't XD if i like a couple in here i might go back and read their book, i do that with a lot of long romance series, only the ones that can be read as a standalone though.

I have not. This was a mistake. lmao XD

I really like the plotting aspect

up to chapter 4 (view spoiler)[
why didn't Billy let her say what she wanted to say!
i like Billy and Claire so far, there is a lot of history there but i think i'm keeping up with all the events that happened, even the brothers names and who is married to who so that's good.
i don't now how Billy managed to fly to Italy after having his surgery , he can barley move without feeling pain.

they are so stubborn, when they finally started to talk about things he just ended the conversation.

(view spoiler)[
it's confusing when they start talking about the attempted murder to Billy's brother and his girlfriend and the case they're building against that person. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Raghad wrote: "✨ A ✨ wrote: "Chapter 4 done."

yeah thats true! I really enjoyed parts of the book, but I think the combo of not reading the previous books + the characters being named things like Cletus and Jethro killed the book for me.

they have very hard names, i don't even know how to pronounce most of them XD

Ben seems awful. billy should tell her everything that actually happened, but i get why he didn't though.
they finally kissed and talked about what's going on between them. i'm also glad she told Siennas about Billy, she will have some one to take to about all of this,
his family aren't even trying to be subtle about what they are doing lol (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

✨ A ✨ wrote: "Chapter 18 done [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[
he should tell her soon, all these secrets are stopping them from being happy. i hope he can get out of the situation and doesn't go to jail for cutting Razor.
it's good that Billy and Jethro made up and forgave each other for everything they've done.

(view spoiler)[
yeah they didn't show us what happened in the trial
what Claire did to get Billy out of jail was very brave of her, she went to see her father even though she's terrified of him.
the proposal was so cute,they're cute together.

They are cute together!! I'm sorry it was so confusing for you guys 😫. But the other books are really great. Cletus is the funniest and his plots are the best 😂

i like Cletus a lot, i might read the new series about him.
it was okay, i was confused at the beginning but i caught up to everything later.
