*I received an ARC of this book free from NetGalley on behalf of Forever (Grand Central Publishing Group – Loveswept) in exchange for an honest review*With a life filled with regrets and responsibilities Chrissy isn’t the happiest of people. The things she does for her brother, Slade, are down out of a sense of obligation and she doesn’t want to be the one driving down to bail him out of jail or be the one helping to take care of his problems, but she does it because she’s all he has. Too bad Slade doesn’t realize exactly why she does it and he tends to just make things worse in the process.Jack grew up alongside Chrissy and Slade, literally right next door, and had been best friends with Slade since they were kids. Having the hots for his best friend’s baby sister could be complicated, but that doesn’t really stop him from pursing what he wants.With Chrissy “the town’s sweetheart” back in town, everyone she runs into wants to fix her up with their son, or brother, or any other single male relative they can come up with. And at times it’s downright hysterical how forward some of those single men are…even when they’re literally all next to each other competing for her attention. Not to mention the way Jack feels about the unwanted attention toward her.She may have left a shy timid girl who would do anything asked of her, but she returned a spitfire who had no issues with speaking her mind.I thoroughly enjoyed Jack’s unwavering and straightforward approach toward Chrissy. The things he said to her would knock any woman off kilter, and she was no exception. As Chrissy’s reasons for staying away Jack begin to unravel things get a little more interesting and a lot more HOT!My Favorite Laughable Moment: Chrissy getting pulled over after an already very crappy day was so hilarious. Everything from rolling down her window to the so-called sobriety test kept me smiling and occasionally laughing out loud. Of course the police officer’s thoughts on the situations were quite funny also. Too bad he didn’t actually say what he was thinking.“Did you just call me ass, right after punching me in the balls? Ya’ know, I’ve tasered people for less.”My Favorite Moments: I loved all the sexual tension between Chrissy and Jack and definitely enjoyed all the ‘foreplay’. He is one determined man!
