SYNOPSIS
Unrequited crush? I’ve been there. Done that. Over it.

Ian Chambers is a responsible, intelligent lawyer. But I’ve known Ian for nine years and I can tell you that responsibility does not equal likability. Ian’s also an egotistical, teasing, blue-eyed, accidentally make-you-fall-for-him kind of man. And I want nothing to do with it, thank you very much.

When he quit Treasuries Inc. eight months ago, I thought I was finally rid of him. But when I’m invited to a destination wedding as a bridesmaid and he’s the best man in every sense of the word, it’s not as easy to pretend he doesn’t exist. And this week, he’s dead-set on getting my attention just as he’s tried to for almost a decade.

If he looks at me with that cocky grin and those piercing eyes one more time, I might lose control. You could say that’s a good thing. But you would be wrong.

Ian Chambers can flirt with me as much as he wants, but I refuse to fall for his tricks…

MY THOUGHTS
ahhh!!!
yes book 2!

after the first book i could not wait to jump back in and see the story behind Ian and Nia and boy did J.O deliver! 

in the first book Nia came off as a little bit of a hard ass on Ian but of course, since it wasnt their story, we didn't get much of a background. in this book, since its all about them we get to dive deeper into their background and i liked it a lot!
especially because Nia was nothing like i thought she would have been. to see her as such a hard ass (and i mean that in the best way possible!) in the first book only to realize that she's just as big a softy as ever!, i loved that! and i don't know why but i for some reason pictured her with jet black hair so to see her with white blond her was an even better surprise (for some reason, i picture her a bit like Kate Winslet knowing that now).....but anyway....

i also really liked that while the story is about Ian & Nia, its centered around Grace & Cams wedding so we still get to see them too! 
and i absolutely loved the extras that were in the book! the goat! ha! that guy was a fun time and i have to say, my favorite part of this story had to have been the dude's bachelor party. by far fave scene! <3

It happens for Nia and Ian but not without some hiccups but this story! i liked it so much and if you have been here a while, you know that i strongly dislike stories that just go on and on. 
but J.O does it so good!!! she doesnt forget about the characters before and i loved how she incorporated them here. 
in this case, i cannot wait for book 3! even more so because i really don't know where its going to go. 

thanks J for an ARC!
