Yet again Tessa Bailey hits it out of the park for me. I loved this book. It has Reed, a seriously hot Alpha male and Julie a woman who has spent the last 4 years trying to be the new “perfect” sister since her sister passed away.As always Tessa creates steamy scenes that will blow your mind, panty dropping even! Julie and Reeds chemistry is off the charts.  I love that a guy who had a crappy past  wasn’t “broken” but that he took bad moments in his life and made life decisions on them and liked who he was.  He had no desire to change.Enter Julie.  A people pleaser that has planned this wedding down to the minute. What she doesn’t do of course is pay attention to her needs. Not only has she been trying to be someone perfect because of guilt from her sister's death, but she hides from her best friends that during wedding week is the anniversary of Serena’s death.Reed sees Julie.  He sees that she is hiding, that puts everyone before herself - even before eating. Their first encounter is off the charts and very quickly Reed realizes that they might just be it for each other, and becomes very possessive and watchful of her.The book is not without its drama, but the epilogue is so very sweet!Some of my favorite lines are:“Would it be so much to ask for a Beer and Wings night? Or an Everyone Plan Your Own S*** Because We’re All Adults and Don’t Require a Glittery Schedule Night?” ~ Reed“What did Serena get out of it?” “She got to spend time with you.” Her eyes widened in a way Reed couldn’t intrepret. The reaction made him want to backpedal. Make a joke. But he heard Colton in his head. Tell her what you are thinking even if it sounds stupid. He cleared his throat uncomfortably. “Why do you think she loved the rain so much, pixie? It meant spending time with her little sister.” ~ ReedI love that there are several characters in this book and that several authors are all writing a couples story.  Those are fun.
