I loved him then hated him then loved him again🙈

Rating: 3/5: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Juliet and Henley (and Barry) are neighbors on

Kingston Lane as a part of a tight knit group of people turned family. They originally met three years ago

when they had an amazing date, for Henley to ghost Juliet. Henley fights his attraction to Juliet for the longest time, and she convinces him to try the friends with benefits scenario, because she can't not have her feel of him, and will not let another man think of touching her. Juliet hopes the friends with benefits would allow Henley to see that they are for each other, but that comes with prices to pay for both her and Henley.

Henley has his own demons to fight from a tragic loss as a young teenager. He works to move past them and just when he thinks he has and is ready to take the next step, something happens to scare him and he reverts right back to old Henley.

Juliet knows that if you love him you wait, and she did. TL Swan never disappoints, and I can't wait to read the next book in the Kingston Lane series, wonder who it will be!

ok one major ick of this book…. when he questions if they love each other because she won't do anal. The spice was great, could have been more, could have had a little more dirty talk, but it wasn't about that for them.

Their relationship was about a woman in love not giving up on a broken man that never recovered from childhood loss. I liked this book but there were parts that felt too toxic for me.
