Their attraction flared like a runaway torch…until she discovered he was the competition. But as their girls grew more relentless in their matchmaking, Brandon found himself I falling for their romantic trap.

The Baby-Sitters Club Kristy and the Snobs. Billionaire in Wolf's Clothing. Dance Me A Dream. Renata and the Fall from Grace. I kind of feel like the teen in angst is a bit overused in the romance genre.
I was glad to see Heidi wasn't a bad kid just one who was trying to deal with the death of her brother, her mother leaving, and the emotional closed-offishness of her father. Another reviewer commented on the conversation Phoebe and Carson have that results i I'm giving it 4 stars because I think it has some good points about grief and because I like that the characters talk to each other honestly and at times bluntly.
Another reviewer commented on the conversation Phoebe and Carson have that results in the "don't we deserve some happiness" comment. On one hand, they both seem to be coming out of a dark place of grief and blame, and yes, sometimes we do have to be reminded that it is okay to do things that make you happy--but on the other hand, life is not all about doing what makes you happy. Choosing happiness can result in bad choices and it shouldn't be the only reason we do something. For this novel, I think the former was what was intended but I do wish the author had chosen different words to convey the meaning.
Feb 02, Cathy rated it really liked it Shelves: A good friend of mine gave me two large boxes of books, mostly romances, because she knows I like to read. I do enjoy reading a particularly good romance, but those are so few and far between that I tend to avoid the genre - and what I consider a good romance may differ from others. Since she has more time and also enjoys reading, I gave the boxes of books to my mom, and asked her to point out the best ones to me. This one made the cut. And it was better than most romances.
It had a A good friend of mine gave me two large boxes of books, mostly romances, because she knows I like to read. It had a deeper component than just silliness or people ogling each other, as in the last romance that I read. I do like humor in romances, that just seems more realistic than if everything goes just rosy or just awful or just serious.

And I like to laugh, but sometimes the silliness is so silly it isn't even funny. At one point, the two main characters attended a grief class together. That was familiar territory for me. I've done GriefShare with my husband, but there are some differences. Notably, in GriefShare, no one had to share anything. It was understood that people grieve and heal at their own pace, and no one had to contribute to the group discussions. We also weren't given partners to discuss our grief, although I had a built-in partner with my husband.
It seemed to me that the characters in this book pursue a relationship quickly, as is often the case in romances. The timelines always seem hurried.

In particular, it seems rushed to pursue a relationship while grieving. I've heard it said that a friend isn't a friend unless they've both laughed with you and cried with you. If they've only laughed with you, then they are fair-weather friends, and if they've only cried with you, then it isn't a true friendship, it's a ministry, of sorts. I think that both laughter and tears are even more important in a romantic relationship.

But Phoebe and Carson only seem to cry together - and that may be fitting for grieving, but not for a relationship. I am aware that physical closeness can be soothing for grief, whether it's a hug between friends, or something more, something romantic. Speaking of faith, when Carson had just opened his heart to Phoebe about his grief, it seemed abrupt and out-of-place for her to suddenly share her faith with him. I was glad that he called her on it, and even showed her the inconsistencies in her own life surrounding it.
It was fun to watch them resolve that together. In most romances, one of my pet peeves is that the characters read each others' minds, or such nonsense, but in this romance, the characters do talk with each other honestly about the things that matter to them - grief, their families, their feelings, their faith.
In fact they almost went to the opposite extreme in which they were "brutally honest. He didn't mean to be cruel to other people, but to be brutally honest about our own shortcomings, frustrations, failures The phrase has always stuck with me. The characters reached a point where they thought they "deserved some happiness," and while there's nothing wrong with happiness, and it is a good and precious gift, so many people have abused that phrase to excuse unwise behaviors or the pursuit of immoral things or situations, and have ended up hurting their own lives and the lives of those around them.
