Rating: 4 out of 5

Plain Jayne by Laura Drewry was a simple, and sweet friends to lovers story.Jayne Morgan and Nick Scott were best friends from Kindergarten until Jayne left town at 18.  Jayne was raised by her grandmother who made it clear to her that she was unhappy about raising another child.  She never abused her but she never showed Jayne love and affection either.  Nick, on the other hand, was raised in your typical family with a lot of love and affection.Jayne comes back to the small Canadian town that she left at 18 because her grandmother has passed away and left Jayne her bookstore.  The first person that she sees when she drives into town is Nick.  She thought they were best friends but he had escorted her out of the church  during his wife’s funeral because the families didn’t think she should be there.Jayne thought she had finally achieved her dream when she found out that she had inherited her grandmother’s bookstore.  She has packed up her entire life and returned only to find out that the bookstore  is a shambles.  It’s filled with junk and trash.  Then she finds out that she is on a tight schedule to get the place cleaned up and updated to code by the city.Nick jumps in to help her .  Luckily, for her, he’s a contractor and can provide the kind of help that she needs to make her dream come true.  Nick is currently dating another woman; and he honestly doesn’t realize that he is in love with Jayne.  Jayne, on the other hand, knows how she feels about Nick but doesn’t want to take the chance of losing their friendship.Throughout the book, you get to see how their relationship grows in the normal day-to-day situations of life.  This, for me, was the best part of the book.  However, it was also the longest part of the book because it was almost the end of the book before Jayne and Nick FINALLY realized what they had together.I will definitely be looking forward to more books from Laura Drewry in the future.I was provided an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher Random House/Loveswept in exchange for an honest review.
