PROTECTIVE HEART - Starlight Cove #2 - by Brighton Walsh (Everly and Beck)

 ABOUT THE BOOK

I’ve lied to myself for years about being in love with my best friend.

Everly Bowman and I don’t make sense. She’s sunshine personified and I hate everyone. Well, everyone but her. It’s been easy to keep up the farce and pretend like she isn’t my whole world. Or it was until she needs a place to stay, and my apartment is her only option.

Suddenly, she's everywhere I turn. Even her scent is branded into my sheets. And thanks to our unofficial romance book club, I’ve also amassed an encyclopedia titled Everly’s Pleasure Buttons. Each week, it gets harder to ignore how much I want to make her fantasies come true. Especially when we crawl into my bed every night.

But I won’t jeopardize what we have for anything, so I’m fine with lying to myself and pretending like I don’t dream of calling her mine.

At least, I was until I see her with him.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Meet Brighton Walsh

USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brighton Walsh spent a decade as a professional photographer before taking her storytelling in a different direction and reconnecting with her first love—writing. 

She likes her books how she likes her tea—steamy and satisfying—and adores strong-willed heroines and the protective heroes who fall head over heels for them. 

Brighton lives in the Midwest with her real life hero of a husband, her two kids—one who’s already taller than her and one who’s catching up too fast—and her dog who thinks she’s a queen. Her boy-filled house is the setting for dirty socks galore, frequent dance parties (okay, so it’s mostly her, by herself, while her children look on in horror), and more laughter than she thought possible.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is the my first time reading a book in the series and I felt this book easily stands alone. It is part of a series about a family of siblings whose mother died when they were all teens and whose father became a drunk and abandoned them. They all own and help run an Inn in the small town of Starlight Cove.

This book stars Beck who runs a bakery/cafe in town and he is best friends with the town Veterinarian, Every, who came to town when her aunt died and left her a house and clinic. She is a happy person and Beck is very grumpy. 

These two have known each other for two years and are best friends. When she gets a visitor, that's when Beck finds out that he never wants to lose her, and he needs to let her know how he feels. And then a tragedy happens, and he can lose Everly forever. 

This was an awesome story that I could not put down. Everly and Beck have such an awesome friendship that their feelings you can feel through the pages of this story. I loved him and I loved her and together you can just feel the love and friendship they share between them.

This was one of the best friends to lovers romances I have read. In addition, the hot times were very sexy. I loved how there for Everly, Beck is and they have this really amazing relationship, attraction and connection.
