Like Lovers Do by Tracey Livesay

5.0

Everyone loves a good opposites attract romance. In this breezy summer read, Nicole is an against-all-odds orthopaedic surgeon who’s just one key fellowship away from achieving her dream job; Ben’s the privilege offspring of a medical dynasty determined to run away from his legacy (okay, he’s a financial planner, not a rodeo rider, but still.) She’s got a no relationship rule; he’s got a no doctors rule. Result? These two have friend zoned each other hard for years while also living together (she’s his tenant). Obviously, we’re going to jump right in at the point where everything changes. With her fellowship in jeopardy, Nic agrees to be his girlfriend for a beach trip. We all know where this is going. Set in the relaxed linen playground of Cape Cod, Like Lovers Do is a perfect summer chill read. With Livesay’s writing, the character’s internal and external conflicts really come to life while never getting weighed down with angst. It’s also hot in the way only two people who’ve been crushing on each other forever can be. All you need to know is the hammock plays a pivotal role. The second in the series based around four friends' annual vacation, this one can easily be read alone.
