Belonging with her best friend

 Belonging with her best friend
by Kristin Canary

"Shirt-gate was actually before Dance-Gate. But it was the first time I thought I might honestly stand a chance with you. That you might feel the same way about me as I did about you." My cheeks flame. "Why?" "Because your eyes told me you were hungry that morning-and not just for eggs."

 It is a friends to lover story that is so much fun to read.  Shelby and Eric have been best friends for 17 years. She has always had feelings for Eric but has never told him. Eric has been passed back and forth from foster home to foster home after his adoptive parents pass away. Shelby's family has been the closest thing to family that he has had since then. 

Shelby and Eric have been friends for so long and they were afraid that the other may not feel the same way that they did but also that it would ruin their relationship and that they would lose out on the friendship that they have had and always needed. 

I loved this story. It was so much fun to be able to see them finally be able to be vulnerable with each other and to be able to be open with each other. 

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher. This book will be released June 20, 2022. This is book four in the California Dreamin' series. I have read the first book and loved it as well as this one. I still need to read book two and three.
