I loved Becca and Jaycent! They were in love for years before they got their chance. I really love the change in her father too. I think he was really thinking of what he has missed all this time with his kids too. Her mother is just plain awful. I hope Connor never shows back up. I can’t wait to see where Ryder ends up with his best friend and sister.

I loved this story from the perspective of Becca and Jaycent! The overlapping of the story line from book 1 helped provide an entirely different point of view for many of the dramatic scenes.
The relationship between these two characters was incredible. The forbidden aspect of it due to a large age gap, brother's best friend, already in a relationship... all of those things made this crashing of hearts that much more exhilarating! Everything was stacked against them, yet somehow they found a way not once but three times!
My heart broke for Becca and what her mother put her through. What her boyfriend of multiple years put her through. There is only so much that one woman can take and B not only faced it head on, she rose up and came out on the other side a stronger woman than ever. I was so proud of her character in this book. She finally stood up for herself and took what she wanted. Jaycent!
This couple made me swoon like you wouldn't believe. I was rooting for their love from the beginning! I loved the outcome the author gave these two and can't wait to see more of them in book 3.

I loved this book, I loved the overlap with the story line of Selfish!
I enjoy seeing the different view points of the situations.
Jaycent & Becca :)
I came across this series as a recommendation on the BANG bookclub, on the release day of the 3 book set, which I promptly purchased and plowed through.

MYSELF is book two in the Selfish series by Shantel Tessier and is a brother's best friend/friend's to lovers/second chance/New Adult contemporary romance. I'm going to whine a bit because...WHY?!? Why torture me with Becca and Jaycent's story before finishing Rdyer and Ashlyn's story?? LOL! Don't get me wrong, we met Becca and Jaycent in book one and I was definitely looking forward to read their story. But I was also anxious to find out what happened with Ash and Ryder. Anyway, Becca is the complete opposite of Ashlyn. Where Ash was fierce and domineering, Becca was soft and almost submissive. Not that there's anything wrong with Becca's character, I just preferred the stronger, more confident personality of Ash. Jaycent, on the other hand, was a less obvious alpha version of Ryder. Still possessive, substantial and secure of himself but in a less showy or cocky way. Maybe it was simply the nature of their relationship? Not sure but I still loved Jaycent for Becca and I enjoyed watching them break through the barriers to find their HEA! Again, there's not a whole lot of intense drama in this one. It's FOUR people now trying really hard to fit the pieces of their lives together. Told from dual POVs with ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER (or a cliffhanger still?) I received, read and voluntarily read an ARC of this book.
