I could not stop reading Charlotte and Ledger's story once I started。 I had been in a bit of a book funk for a while and this book had me believing in fairy tales again。 Ledger has always had his eyes on Charlotte， his little sister's best friend， but he knew he couldn't have her。 When Jilly his sister is getting ready to marry， he didn't expect to not want to leave his home。 I cannot get enough of the Thomas sisters。 These ladies and their dynamic you can feel the closeness and love they have f I could not stop reading Charlotte and Ledger's story once I started。 I had been in a bit of a book funk for a while and this book had me believing in fairy tales again。 Ledger has always had his eyes on Charlotte， his little sister's best friend， but he knew he couldn't have her。 When Jilly his sister is getting ready to marry， he didn't expect to not want to leave his home。 I cannot get enough of the Thomas sisters。 These ladies and their dynamic you can feel the closeness and love they have for each other。 Charlotte never though Ledger would even think about her in anything more than his little sisters best friend。 Little did she know her life was getting ready to change。 I laughed， swooned， cried and laughed some more with this book。 I swear I love this series more and more and now I am anxiously waiting for Dilly's story。 I just know it's going to be EPIC！！ 。。。more

Tropes: Best friends Brother second chance Not only is the best friends brother one of my FAVOURITE tropes， this book genuinely had me crying。。。 I am so in love with Charlotte and Ledger。 This world wind of a romance was so beautiful to read。 Charlotte is the biggest sweetheart with the biggest heart。 All she wants is to be loved by the one she's always thought of。 Reading about her making sacrifices and going out of her comfort zone to try something new was so special。 You can really understand Tropes: Best friends Brother second chance Not only is the best friends brother one of my FAVOURITE tropes， this book genuinely had me crying。。。 I am so in love with Charlotte and Ledger。 This world wind of a romance was so beautiful to read。 Charlotte is the biggest sweetheart with the biggest heart。 All she wants is to be loved by the one she's always thought of。 Reading about her making sacrifices and going out of her comfort zone to try something new was so special。 You can really understand her heart and just how much she cares for and loves her family and friends。 Ledger， what a man。 This guy is so emotionally scarred by his dad that is causing him to love a comfortable life but without the dimensions that he doesn't think he needs， but needs。 His grandmother had me absolutely laughing my butt off。 Ledger is a man who had a tough past with his father， but comes out on top。This pairing was the cutest pairing and one of the happiest endings。 We really get to see the growth that they both go through throughout the entire book and it is so beautiful and special to see them overcome emotions and feelings together。I literally cannot wait for the next book of the series。 。。。more

I've made no secret about the fact that I adore every book I've read by Laura Pavlov， but I think this just might be my favorite！The best friend's sibling/sibling's best friend trope is one of my very favorites， and I've waited anxiously for sister Charlotte's story。 Being the twin to the hilariously outspoken Dylan， everyone thinks that Charlie is the quiet， shy one。 But I just knew there was a hidden side to her that was both sweet but also more than a bit sassy。 And her feelings for Ledger on I've made no secret about the fact that I adore every book I've read by Laura Pavlov， but I think this just might be my favorite！The best friend's sibling/sibling's best friend trope is one of my very favorites， and I've waited anxiously for sister Charlotte's story。 Being the twin to the hilariously outspoken Dylan， everyone thinks that Charlie is the quiet， shy one。 But I just knew there was a hidden side to her that was both sweet but also more than a bit sassy。 And her feelings for Ledger only spark that sassiness more。Ledger walked away from Honey Mountain， and his feelings for Charlie to build his career， and because he didn't think he was worthy of his "Ladybug"。 But what Ledger fails to see is that he's always been more than enough for Charlie， and now they have the chance to explore that connect， even as they each give it an expiration date。Chemistry oozes out of this couple。 Their banter and interactions were a joy to watch。。。sometimes funny， often sexy， always sweet。 I love that they both have always had that attraction to the other， but that there's also a deep and abiding friendship as well。The Thomas' sister's connection is as funny and irreverent as usual。。。thanks mostly to Dylan， but aided by Ash， the sister who knew what happened between Ledger and Charlie in the past。 Their sisterhood is one of my very favorite family relationships in any series I've read。 I'll be sad when the series comes to a close。 But before that happens， we'll get Dylan's story。 And getting to know her over the last 4 books， it's bound to be a doozy！ So 5 stars for Simply Mine but a million to author Laura Pavlov for the Thomas family and all their friends。 。。。more

Charlotte and Ledger’s story is one of my favorites of the Honey Mountain series。 It’s a best friend’s brother/childhood friends to lovers romance with all the feels。 Both Charlotte and Ledger have their own trauma that shaped who they are。 Charlotte is fiercely independent， but she is also a caretaker。 She’s always had feelings for her best friend， Jilly’s， brother but kept it a secret from everyone except Ash。 Ledger is a big time architect who lives in the city。 His experience with his parent Charlotte and Ledger’s story is one of my favorites of the Honey Mountain series。 It’s a best friend’s brother/childhood friends to lovers romance with all the feels。 Both Charlotte and Ledger have their own trauma that shaped who they are。 Charlotte is fiercely independent， but she is also a caretaker。 She’s always had feelings for her best friend， Jilly’s， brother but kept it a secret from everyone except Ash。 Ledger is a big time architect who lives in the city。 His experience with his parents’ marriage prevented him from opening his heart to anyone。These two have such a strong connection。 They became close friends and confidants when they were younger， but now their friendship is strained。 When Ledger comes back into town for Jilly’s wedding， he immediately stops by to see Charlotte。 Since Charlotte and Ledger are the maid of honor and best man， he convinces Charlotte to meet him for dinner to discuss their bridal duties。 Of course， Charlotte is guarded and resentful of how strong her feelings were for him。 I love how she wasn’t afraid to confront him about their past。 It was a conversation that needed to happen to help heal their friendship and move forward。 Unable to deny the pull to each other， they decide to spend a week as friends with benefits until Ledger leaves to go back to the city。 Charlotte does her best to guard her heart。 She pushes for discretion while Ledger doesn’t care if anyone knew。 Their week is filled with passion and Ledger， though afraid of commitment and becoming his father， isn’t exactly ready to call it quits。 He wanted to continue seeing Charlie occasionally。 I loved how she knew herself and knew she couldn’t give him a casual relationship。 It was all or nothing。These two were made for each other。 The emotions they felt were powerful。 I can’t wait for Dylan and Wolf’s story！ 。。。more
