Love this Brother's Best Friend Romance!
5 out of 5 stars
Love this Brother's Best Friend Romance!
4.5⭐ 💵Brother's Best Friend 💵Small-Town Romance . "Gigi Jacobs was my weak spot. My blind spot. My heart." . Review: This is book 2 in the Willow Spring series about 5 girls who have been best friends since they were young. I was so excited with the Brother's Best Friend trope. I devoured this book just like Frayed and did not want to put it down. It consumed me and I hated when life got in the way! . Gigi is a strong girl who knows what she wants. She is sweet, loves hard and will do anything for those she loves. . Gray is an unapologetic player and the new Fraternity President. He has big plans to go to Law School just like his father. . Gray has been best friends with Cade, Gigi's brother since they were little. When Gray and Gigi end up at the same college, Cade asks Gray to look after his sister. “You need to stay in your own lane.” “I’ve always liked your lane better,” he said with a smirk. Gray's favorite past time is to annoy Gigi, so he has no problem fulfilling his obligation. Only then do lines start to blur and boundaries start to get crossed. I loved these two. They bicker so much and it is so funny to watch. They're both fighting their feelings and you can't help but want to push them together. It's a slow burn with all the angst, but once they give in to their feelings it's magic. I love the transformation Gray goes through. He is just so protective and loving. Jealous Gray was 🥵 and so swoon worthy!🤤 I loved watching Gigi fight for what she wants. Gigi gives Gray what he has been missing all his life and it's so beautiful to watch. Gray is such a good guy deep down and he never gives up on those he loves. The playboy with a heart of gold has found his forever. I loved seeing more of Addy and Jett. Excited for Maura next in Charmed!!!

    I have read this series out of order and am loving it.
    This series starts with all 5 friends in their last year of high school until they graduate from college.
    This is book #2 ,and Gray and Gigi's story.The trope is a favorite of mine,best friend's little sister and enemies to lovers.
    This is college age romance,and this is a genre that I have never read before mainly because of how young the mc's are.But you know what? This author makes it work for me and without fan girling too much I have to say....I loved this couple so much,they were each other's half to make a whole.
    I recently discovered this author and her small town romances and have fallen in love with her small town,the relationships between the characters and their best friends,and how each story is a progression to the next that I can't wait to read about the next couple.
    As I said earlier,I have read this series completely out of order, and you can,so I know about their long tern HEA which was amazing!

    I loved Gray so much! He was a tortured hero, he spend so much time trying to prove he was not his father that he ended up picking up some of his bad habits anyway. I love that he chose to kick some bad habits and focus. I like that LP explored his inner bottle to change, how hard it was but also how good he felt. It was relatable and made you root for Gray even more! He needed to learn to love himself and somebody to love him back.

    Gigi had a quiet confidence and a funny little position in all of her “groups.” I chuckled at how Gray and Cade talked about her even if she could hear. I loved how Coco popped up every time she got dressed up to give advice. She was very obviously, genuinely loved by a lot of people which made her and Gray that much more interesting. Even in moments of shyness she had a quiet confidence and was secure enough in herself she could pour into Gray effortlessly. They had great contrast and I really loved their story!

    This story was so sweet, a girl who loved her brothers best friend since she was a kid thinking it was just hate because he would always irritate her to hide his true feelings, to a guy who had a rough childhood and early adult life because of his fathers addiction and found in g how he calls her and her family a true family a love that sadly his parents weren’t giving him, when they finally realized they loved each other and had each other he saw light he saw love, he saw his strength, very pretty well written story.

    He has always loved Gigi but just continued to irritate her so she didn't know. He never felt he was good enough for her so he couldn't act on his feelings or could he? His dads gambling problems were too much to handle and he didn't want her mixed up in that!

    Frayed set the bar high. With Tangled you just don’t see the bar. I can’t wait to see what is gonna happen next.
    The second book in Willow Springs series is unputdownable and so worth my lack of sleep.

    “If Gray Baldwin was in my vicinity, I was going to be tangled up with him”

    Trust me, all of us want to be tangled with Gray Baldwin… and Gigi!!!

    Gray and Gigi! Gigi and Gray! Their story is breathtaking, explosive (the sparks between them make everyone in their vicinity fan themselves), and M.A.G.I.C.al (did you see what I did there? If not, it is time to start reading this series).

    She is his best friend’s sister. He is her nemesis!!! The abovementioned sparks make sense now. ;) They fit so well together, that by the time they realize it, you are on the edge of your seat (if you are sitting down, I don’t judge) screaming from anticipation. Yes, it is that emotional.
    The Magic Willows are all there to support and inspire the couple’s story, as they were also there for Adelaide and Jett, in Frayed. I see a pattern here. :P We also meet more familiar faces from Willow Springs and this just makes your heart happy (it truly does).

    This series is one of the cutest that I have ever read and I cannot wait for the rest of it.
