Always mine is book one in the Honey Mountain series and is about the Thomas sisters. Book one focuses on Vivian the second eldest and her relationship with Nico her best friend.
It’s a friends to lovers book with lots of emotion thrown in. They have been best friends for year and they both love one another. Nico in particular has had a horrid childhood, suffering at the hands on his father so he struggles with relationships.
Vivian or Vivi as she’s known to her family had recently split from her boyfriend who she found cheating on her. She wanting to go out and experience more with her life especially her love life - and that’s where Nico comes in. There relationship is a forgone conclusion but you are waiting on Nico to catch up a little more.
This book is exactly what a small town romance is. Lots of meddling from other characters, love conquers all whilst dealing with strong topics. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I’m excited to see more from the sisters especially Dylan!
There are some strong topics so please check all the trigger warnings before diving into this book.

I love the Thomas family that this series is gonna be centered around and I'm definitely gonna pick up the next one to give this series a proper second chance.
I'm always here for a good friends-to-lovers but this was basically already lovers from the start so when they started hooking up, the change in dynamic just happened a bit too quickly for me.
Can't even say I dislike Niko because he was a bit bland lol. Also hated how averse he was to getting therapy 🧐 red flag
Still, Vivi and Niko had some proper "AWWW" moments and especially toward the end we got the proper dramatic scenes with protective hero that you know I love 🤭
Hoping the next one suits me better!
