It’s been a hot minute since a book made me cry. This book was powerful in so many ways.
Carly’s world was torn apart 2 years ago when she lost her fiancée. Now, her fiancée’s special needs brother needed someone to care for him. She didn’t hesitate. She felt that this is what Bras would want her to do.
Josh didn’t have the best reputation. He was known for playing the field but when his best friend was taken away from him, his works changed. His brother needed someone and he was the man for the job.
Carly and Josh didn’t like each other..at all. So when they both show up for Scottie, they had to put their differences aside and do what was best for Scottie. Things begin to melt between the 2 of them but neither wanted to act on anything because of their love and devotion to Brad. But fate had its way of working it out. To watch Carly and Josh wrestle with their feelings toward one another was so heartbreaking. To read what they were thinking and how they were trying to handle it was just a testament to how they both loved Brad. And when an emergency happens and brings them back together, they both pray for a sign from Brad and God.
I loved Scottie. He might have been non verbal, but he had his ways of showing his love. He kept me laughing with him and Josh and then I cried so hard when they placed him in a group home. There were other special moments with Scottie and how he recognized things and people he loved. The ending was the icing on the cake.
Josh got his sign when he happened upon a church and I cried for all the words of wisdom Josh was given. It makes you stop and realize that life is precious.
This book was so well written. You felt for these people in this book and what they were going through. It was funny, sad, hot, heartbreaking and happy all in one story. This one will stick with me.

Oh my heart. 🫶🏽
I've cried a few times while reading this book. I laughed out loud and physically felt my heart shattered at one point. It was a bit of an emotional roller-coaster. I instantly loved these characters. The way their relationship came about was genuine, even if it was difficult to process. Losing someone who they both loved wasn't easy. Putting their lives on hold to care for Scottie was selfless and heartwarming.Falling for each other was an unexpected path, but it was meant to be. The day their lives fell apart led them on a journey of self-discovery and the kind of love they didn’t think was possible. I loved the slow burn, the intense sexual tension, the way they held themselves back. I also loved the vulnerability and the trust they shared.Scottie melted my heart. At one point, I had tears falling down my face, full of anxiety and hoping for the best. Scottie was what Carly and Josh needed and vice versa. Because family isn't just blood; it's who you love and who loves you back. The people you can't imagine your life without. Great story! 🙂

This is a beautiful forbidden, enemies to lovers stand alone that I couldn't get enough of. Carly's fiance Brad passes away during an accident, then 2 years later his fathers also passes away leaving his autistic brother all alone with no one. Carly drops everything and drives out to New Hampshire to look after Scotty Little did she know that Brad's best friend Josh, her sworn enemy arrives to also take care of Scotty. The sparks fly until they realize that they actually need each other to take proper care of him. I really enjoyed their banter. It was special to gradually watch the ice melt between them as they fought their feelings and the guilt they had for one another. This was a heart warming story and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
