Oooh and the ex-wife... BISH!! I wanted to punch her in the face!! She's mean and nasty and only looks out for #1. I feel sorry for her sister. And you can see Mollie's frustration with her. She's quick to defend her sister but she has 2 eyes and can see how she is. I get loving someone because they're family but poor Mollie. Madison is definitely the bad guy in this book and I kept waiting for her to explode!
And let's get back to Jackson and Mollie. I love their relationship! Even during his marriage to Madison, Jackson had a good, solid friendship with Mollie. They get each other and even though he was married, I think he realized he married the wrong sister. He never cheated on Madison but he was drawn to Mollie.
And cue the FEELS! Wowwwwww! This book! Of course, this is a HEA we're talking about here but it was so perfect for them!!!!! Again, Madison deserved to be punched INTHEFACE! But Jackson and Mollie are epic. I need more Lauren Layne in my life! More of her books will be read! This book was completely captivating, flowed quickly and I didn't want to put it down.
*ARC provided by NetGalley for my honest review*
In this charming Oxford Novel, hailed by Keri Ford as “a sizzling-loud friends-to-lovers story,” Lauren Layne poses a provocative question: What do you do when you fall in love with your sister’s ex?
A year ago, Jackson Burke was married to the love of his life and playing quarterback for the Texas Redhawks. Now he’s retired, courtesy of the car accident that ruined his career—and single, after a nasty scandal torpedoed his marriage. Just as he’s starting to get used to his new life as a health and fitness columnist for Oxford magazine, his unpredictable ex shows up on his doorstep in Manhattan. Jackson should be thrilled. But he can’t stop thinking about the one person who’s always been there for him, the one girl he could never have: her younger sister.
Mollie Carrington can’t say no to Madison. After all, her older sister practically raised her. So when Madison begs for help in winning her ex-husband back, Mollie’s just glad she got over her own crush on Jackson ages ago—or so she thought. Because as Mollie reconnects with Jackson, she quickly forgets all her reasons to stay loyal to her sister. Tempted by Jackson’s mellow drawl and cowboy good looks, Mollie is sick and tired of coming in second place. But she can’t win if she doesn’t play the game.
