Meredith,
Since I read Laura Pavlov's Willow Springs series I have loved her books, so when I started reading Always Mine I hoped she was going to be able to capture the magic that made me love Willow Springs again。 After the first chapter I knew that Always Mine and the Honey Mountain series was going to be my next obsession and that it was a worthy successor to Willow Springs。 I have always loved the childhood friends falling for one another trope and the one character has a horrible childhood so they n Since I read Laura Pavlov's Willow Springs series I have loved her books, so when I started reading Always Mine I hoped she was going to be able to capture the magic that made me love Willow Springs again。 After the first chapter I knew that Always Mine and the Honey Mountain series was going to be my next obsession and that it was a worthy successor to Willow Springs。 I have always loved the childhood friends falling for one another trope and the one character has a horrible childhood so they never want to be in a relationship trope, so Always Mine really checked those boxes for me。 I already love Vivi and her sisters, and I cannot wait for the next book with her sister Everly and her ex, Hawk。 What is better than a second chance romance?Vivian Thomas and Niko West have been best friends since they were in kindergarten, they did everything together。 For Niko Vivi's house was a safe haven from his abusive father and his mother that never stood up for him。 Even as adults Niko sees Vivi and her family as a safe haven。 Niko finds Vivi attractive but because of his dad he knows he never wants a relationship。 But with Vivi being single for the first time since she was 16 and she's determined to put herself back on the market and see what dating other people is like, and Niko doesn't like it at all。。。Vivi knows now that she is free of her cheating ex she wants to see what it's like to date for the first time since she was 16。 In an effort to see what she was missing, Vivi decides to proposition Niko, knowing he knows what he's doing and that he's someone she can trust。 What starts off as a one time fling slowly grows into more。 But will Niko realize that he's capable of a real relationship without ruining their friendship before it's too late? 。。。more

This has to be one of the best takes on the friends-to-lovers trope that I have read so far! When I initially went into this book I thought it was just going to be a quick, light read, but the characters had so much more depth than I expected, and in a good way。 Nico and Vivian “honey bee” grew up together and have been best friends since they kids。 Nico comes from a pretty rough past with an abusive, alcoholic father。 He’s always sought solace in Vivian but doesn’t believe he’s good enough for This has to be one of the best takes on the friends-to-lovers trope that I have read so far!

The characters, as always, have that spark that falls in love with them。 Vivian "honey bee" is sweet, caring,and always seeks to do good。 I loved the dynamic with her sisters, and that's another thing I like about Laura Pavlov's books because she takes family values very seriously。 The same with Niko, he is a born protector。 As one of the best and sexy firefighters in Honey Mountain, he not only rescues people and puts out fires, but also helps his best friend see life from a different perspective and also helps raise his adorable niece。 The secondary characters are relevant and give us access to what could happen in the following books。。。 at least we already have confirmation of the couple from the second book and I'm excited。***𝐀𝐑𝐂 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰*** 。。。more

And I can’t wait to read their stories next。

I adored this friends to lovers story between Niko and Vivi。 Their chemistry was noticeable and I loved seeing their relationship change from friends to more。 Their personalities were so different but they just worked。 I loved how Niko was able to lean on Vivi and Vivi was able to really help him with his demons。 I loved everything about this book and cannot wait for the rest of the series。
