Almost Just Friends

Summary: New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis returns to Wildstone with the touching story of finding your place in the world—and the people who make it home.

Piper Manning’s about as tough as they come, she’s had to be. She raised her siblings and they’ve thankfully flown the coop. All she has to do is finish fixing up the lake house her grandparents left her, sell it, and then she’s free.

When a massive storm hits, she runs into a tall, dark and brooding stranger, Camden Reid. There’s a spark there, one that shocks her. Surprising her further, her sister and brother return, each of them holding their own secrets. The smart move would be for Piper to ignore them all but Cam unleashes emotions deep inside of her that she can’t deny, making her yearn for something she doesn’t understand. And her siblings…well, they need each other.

Only when the secrets come out, it changes everything Piper thinks she knows about her family, herself…and Cam. Can she find a way to outrun the demons? The answer is closer than she thinks—just as the new life she craves may have already begun.

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

I have loved each and every book in the Wildstone series and Almost Just Friends is no exception. Jill Shalvis writes stories with heart, sass and a nice dash of steamy heat. AJF had all that!

There are many literary places I would gladly run to if they existed in real life and Wildstone is def in my top 20.

What I liked:

The cover. So peaceful.

Piper and Camden’s story. Lots of heart, lots of steam and alllllllll the good feelings.

The Manning family. Listen- this family def had it’s ups and downs and they are terrible at communicating with each other- but they are family. To the end. Love them.
