Blurb
Nate Reynolds is everything I shouldn’t want. Aside from being my best friend’s older brother, he’s a cocky, smooth-talking, panty-dropping playboy of a cop. And yet, I’m helplessly drawn to him.
His charm and good looks reduce me to a fumbling, mumbling teenaged version of myself, which pretty much guarantees that nothing will ever come of my silly crush.
Until the night of my best friend’s wedding.
Jenny Jones is the definition of innocence. She’s also my little sister’s best friend, making her completely off limits. She’s a forever kind of girl with hearts in her eyes, where I’ve always been more of a love ‘em and leave ‘em kind of guy.
Until a night spent between the sheets with her has me questioning everything I thought I wanted.
I tried my hardest to stay away, but you know what they say about the best intentions . . .
My Review
Best Of Intentions, a sweet new contemporary romance by L.K Farlow. If you have read Farlow’s work before then you know for the most part she writes sweet, feel-good romances, and that is just what we have here in BOI. It’s written in dual POV, there’s no over the top drama or angst, just a sweet love story with a few complications along the way to a happily ever after.
If you have read Best Laid Plans, you may have met Nate & Jenny, Nate was Natalie’s overprotective older brother and Jenny was her best friend. Well, now we are getting little Jenny and big brother Nate’s story!
Jenny has always had a thing for her best friend Natalie’s older brother but every time she’s around him she goes from a confident woman to a bubbling mess who can barely form sentences. There’s just something about Nate Reyonalds.
Nate has always liked Jenny but because he doesn’t feel like he’d be good enough for her, he pushes those thoughts way back into the far corners of his mind and doesn’t pursue her. Nate knows that Jenny is the kind of girl that you settle down and spend forever with, and Nate Reynolds is NOT ready to settle down nor does he ever think he’ll be ready for that. Or at least.. he wasn’t.
The day of Natalie and Alden’s wedding, Jenny finally gets up the nerve to ask Nate to dance but… he turns her down.
Nate’s buddy has no qualms about picking up Nate’s slack though. Nate seeing his buddy dancing with and making Jenny, something comes over him. All of a sudden he’s seeing Jenny in a whole new light.
After an intense night filled with passion, these two decide to just be friends.
Nate is still struggling with things that happened in his past, that turned him off of relationships. Jenny is struggling with her diabetes that makes her self conscious because of the way her asshole ex treated her.
But the more time these two spend together, the harder it is to just be “friends”.
Can Nate overcome his past and be the man that Jenny deserves? Can Jenny get over her own insecurities and put her trust in Nate?
You’ll have to read Best Of Intentions to find out!
Gahhh, I love a good sweet romance now and again. Nate and Jenny are two characters you can’t help but love.
Nate has this playboy image but there is so much more underneath. He’s such a sweetheart and I completely melted with the way he is with Jenny about her diabetes. Jenny is a sweet and snarky girl who even though begins to care deeply for Nate, she also doesn’t allow him to walk all over her and calls him on his crap.
Watching Jenny and Nate’s relationship blossom was the cutest ever, made even cuter by little Tatum’s appearance (Natalie & Alden’s daughter, Nate’s niece), and her relationship advice for Uncle Nate.
I’ve been reading so many over the top angst stories lately, which I absolutely love, BUT it’s nice to switch things up a little and just read a sweet story that makes you happy. It was definitely a refreshing change of pace.
When I want a sweet romance, I know I can find one from L.K Farlow. Even though her reads aren’t full of angst and drama, they still suck you in until the very last page. If you like sweet little sister’s best friend romance reads that are low on angst and drama, then give Best Of Intentions a try!
