Beautiful Crazy: Small Town Friends to Lovers Romance (Bardstown Series)

4 1 rating · 1 review on Book Nook

Oh, my God, I kissed my best friend. And I liked it! Emily Chesney moved in a few years ago in place of her brother, and although I wasn’t excited about living with a woman I couldn’t have (her brother’s doing, not mine), we set a few ground rules and quickly became friends. Best friends. I tried to date after she moved in. I tried with just about every girl who works on my floor at one time or another. I even hit on a few ladies in the bar, but I never felt anything with anybody. Zip. Zero. Zilch. No spark whatsoever. The day my father was diagnosed though, I had a moment of weakness and kissed Emily and I liked it. A lot. I felt it deep in my bones. It was the best kiss I’ve ever had. I know we made rules that should be respected and followed, but damn if I don’t want to break them all with her one by one. I might be shooting myself in the foot with cupid’s arrow, but I can’t help it. I think I’m falling for my best friend.

This was sent to me by the author in return for an honest review Emmett was roomates with Emily's brother Wes in college. Before he moved out he told Emmett his sister Emily would take his room when she graduated. He didn't have feelings for her at first but now that he doesn't he doesn't know how to tell her. Emily has lived there for two years with Emmett and he's her best friend. They know everything about each other. At first she wanted him to notice her as more than a sister but she got over that when she realized she wasn't his type. Will he make the move to get the girl? Emmett is still hurting from his dad's passing. He's such a sweet guy. The dance was so cute. Wes asks them to pretend it be a couple for a family dinner because he proposed to his girlfriend and doesn't want their mom to feel left out. This was when Emmett could really show Emily how he truly feels even if they thinks it's fake. When they have to stay the night at her moms isn't how I expected it to go. They don't realize that they both want each other more than anything. The small fights they have are definitely painful. The wedding was a surprise. The ending was just what I needed. I love how the song lyrics are all through the book. Although there were a few things I wish were in the story it was overall an honor to review.
