** This looks like it will be a 5 book series! I am so excited! Each book can stand alone, but I recommend reading them in order if you don't want relationship spoilers from previous books. Frayed (book 1) is one of my all time favorite books! Charmed will be releasing on August 28th! Stay tuned for news on the other potential books!

​My Rating: 4 stars
Genre Small Town | Brother’s Best Friend | College Romance

Review Snapshot : I adore Laura Pavlov’s stories. She mixes the right amount of heat and charm, and the swoon factor is on point! Gigi and Grey stole my heart with their hard-earned love story and I’m looking forward to the next installment.

It’s no secret that Frayed has been one of my favorite books this year (make sure to read it if you haven’t yet!). So, when I saw that Laura was writing another book (and even more in the series) I was ecstatic! Grey and Gigi’s story is a wonderful addition to the series. Their love/hate relationship had enough angst to make it seem hard but not too much that its envelopes the story. Their relationship is also a bit forbidden as it’s a brother’s best friend romance. Grey is loyal to a fault and constantly goes back and forth on whether him and Gigi SHOULD be together because he cares so much for her brother; this loyalty, while extremely endearing to us readers, was almost his downfall. Thankfully, Gigi didn’t take his crap and wouldn’t allow him to wallow and go back and forth with his feelings; she’s loyal too but she knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to ask for it! I appreciated this so much. I hate when authors write their female leads as doormats and this simply isn’t the case here.

So why did I give this one 4 stars? I think being inside Grey’s head was great and all, but the constant thoughts about her being “forbidden” because she’s his “best friend’s sister” got really annoying. I got it the first few times it was said I didn’t need it repeated another 50 times. It makes it feel forced when in reality the story should have felt more authentic. Another reason why is because I simply didn’t care for the side story about his dad. Sure, I appreciate that addiction was included in the story but there was already so much more going on that it felt misplaced. Especially at the end when those wannabe gangsters kidnapped his dad… It was a little much for me. Had this been a major part of the plot (in terms of Grey’s childhood being screwed up, without the added pieces of Simon and his mother) then it would have felt more realistic. In some ways it feels like it was too much drama on top of all the other drama that was going on.

In any event, I love Laura’s stories and this one was a nice addition to the series. I am REALLY looking forward to the next book! It’s so fun to watch all these friends find their own love and happiness while the others are there for them.
