Simple

This book is #2, in the Darling Devils series.  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  To avoid spoilers, and to fully understand the series, I recommend reading the series in order.

Naomi and Lars have history.  Serious chemistry of heat and sexy history.  Only the choice for her was about friendship.  Since she could have gotten serious about a man who uses her looks as a type.  She instead, chose to be his friend, the best of friends.

Lars is all in with his best friend.  Until the worst happens.  Then they split apart, and that is it.  Being in the limelight, having someone to care about who he really is was a real treat.  Now, she looks at him with such shame and disgust.  Can this be fixed?

I love the friends to lovers trope, I have been pretty vocal about that.  I just really did not feel the connection with this story and its MC's.  I tried at separate times.  I found the story solid, the pace nice and fast, and the chemistry just was not working for me.  All around it is still worth the read.  Lots of our favorites make an appearance, and I am still eager to read the next installment in the series.  The book is still a good read.  I give this a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
