Like Lovers Do by Tracey Livesay
5.0
I've been looking for a well written swoony friends to lover romance book for a while and I definitely hit the jackpot with Like Lovers Do!
I adored both Nic and Ben, their struggles and the emotional limitations they both had set for themselves felt very authentic and well grounded.
Reading about a kick-ass black woman who got all her accomplishments because of her hard work and flawless work ethic inspired me, having the hero be a wholesome GREAT guy how was trying hard as he could to find the perfect person to have a family with and be the opposite of what he experienced growing up is something I have seen first hand in real life and can completely root.
The friendships in this books were also great, and a good reflection of what adult friendships we can all aspire to have.
And of course last but not least the steam in this was very hot, there's a particular scene at the beginning of the book that will stay with me for a while, it took me by surprise in the best way.
Basically go read this book as soon as you can and enjoy the love, the friendship and quick trip to Martha's Vineyard.
