J.J. Cross and Ever After PR, thank you both for allowing me to be an early reader. I knew it was Book 2 and could be read as a stand alone, but I did a quick read of Book 1. It gave a decent back story insight to Cole and Lacey.
Lacey and Cole.... best friends since childhood, and he's in love with her. And she cares for him just as much, but he pushed her away when they were teenagers and said they could only ever be friends. Both continued to hold a torch for the other. Cole's family basically help raise Lacey as her father was a drunkard who did not want her. Fast forward quite a few years, and as adults Lacey and Cole are still orbiting around each other as best buds. Cole had lived with Lacey for a stint while he was recovering from his baby brother's wife's ex's psychotic brother. They drifted apart after Cole moved out and got a GF. And this is where the story gets real good. Cliff notes version: Lacey is pregnant from a ONS, baby daddy is cray cray and tries to extort them, Lacey's dad pops back in and their relationship is mended, DBD (deadbeat babby daddy) attacks both Lacey and Cole, and Peanut is born given the name Penelope. Now there's tons of juicy details that make this an amazing book of the Peterson brothers, because J.J. Cross is a mastermind at writing great love stories with a twist of suspense and thrill. In the end, it is a HEA and I love it! I can not recommend this book enough!
