The Best Thing by Jaci Burton
3.0
This is either a novella or part of an anthology since it's just over a hundred pages. But it's still a good read.
The story opens with Brody Kent being admonished by his brothers to "Fix Tori." It seems that, ever since he kissed her at the company party ten months ago (TEN MONTHS? And they're just getting to this now?) she just hasn't been the same.
See, Tori has had the super-hots for Brody for a long time now (over ten years) but Brody has only recently noticed that she's a good looking woman. Knowing that Brody is a player and not wanting to lose the only family she's ever really had, Tori is gun shy about jumping into the sack with him. It's only going to break her heart.
I haven't read the other two books in this series but still enjoyed this story. For me, knowing that two characters have a back story helps make short stories more believable. And while it takes awhile for these two to finally communicate, it's done in a realistic way. Except for the last-way-too-over-the-top end scene. Nope. Did not enjoy that. But the rest of the story was good.
