π§πΏπΌπ½π²π: alpha hero, best friend's sibling, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, law enforcement, singal dad, small town

I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH!!
Mia has always taken care of her mother, who is fighting cancer, but who will now spend the summer in Alabama with her friend, while her aunt takes over Mia's work. What she doesn't know is that the night before she leaves, she spends a streamy night with her best friend's brother which is also her childhood enemy.
Ben has changed a lot from how he was in the past. Now he is a single father, he loves his job as a policeman and tries to give his son a good education so that the boy doesn't become a bully like he was.
Even though Mia has had a hard time accepting that Ben has really changed, she can't stop the butterflies in her stomach.
Thank you J. Daniels and Valentine PR for the opportunity to read this amazing book in exchange for an honest review.

Tropes: best friends brother and enemies to lovers (sorta)
This is one of those books that I would normally give four stars due to the fact that there's a few things I disliked about this but I just can't give it anything less than five stars because I just loved it so much!
It was so cute and addicting! I loved the romance between Ben and Mia though it did feel kinda instalovie and I don't like how fast Mia forgave Ben for how he treated her in the past. I feel like this story should have been a little longer for the story J. Daniels was trying to tell. Ben had treated Mia horribly in the past and I feel like the book needed to be longer to properly deal with these feelings and problems Ben caused Mia in the past.
I found this book to not be as cringy as J. Daniel's other series Sweet Addiction and I enjoyed the writing alot more in this book. I loved the relationship between Ben and his son Nolan, I thought it was extremely cute and made me love Ben all that more. Going with that I loved seeing Mia and Nolan connect and their relationship that grew between them.
One of my biggest problems with this book was how Tessa talked about her brother in such a sexual way. Tessa had wanted to know everything about Mia and Ben's (WHO'S HER BROTHER!) sex life. She even asked how big his penis is and if he was any good. The whole thing just made me feel really weird.
I really enjoyed this book, it is one of my favorites that I have read by her! I really enjoyed the snippets we saw of Tessa and Luke and I can't wait to read their book and see their relationship grow.
