A Short Story, 50 Pages - 1 Hour Audiobook ARC From NetGalley
Everybody's Favorite Guy - Katherine Center
3 Stars
Quick audiobook I got from NetGalley, will be on KU for a quick secular romance read on March 17th. Short story. Requested just to see how it was, since the last couple of Katherine Center romance books just have not worked for me, I was curious how this was with it being just a short story....
7 years after Walker's rejection, Lily and their families have conspired to bring them back together at a cabin in the Rockies when a snowstorm traps them overnight with no power. They confront their unresolved feelings.
The romance was more lustful than I prefer, but it was a quick, easy listen when I just wanted something light and not too heavy.
However, the ending reason for why he pushed her away so long ago was honorable and had some depth - I liked that part pretty well because it reminded me of the past Katherine Center books I liked.
Their Mom's bringing each of their Dad's ashes for each of them to scatter and joking about it was kind of weird though. I guess she was trying to be funny but geez. Didn't like the language but it was alright for a secular, short story. Don't know that I would really "recommend" it but its nice it was just a "make out" only book.
Tropes:
- Childhood Crush / Second Chance
- Opposites Attract
- Friends to Lovers
- Grief Thread from Parental Loss
- Snowed In Together
- Matchmaking Mothers

Content/Triggers: Language - 2 H Word, 4 D Words, 1 AH Word, 2 S Words, 1 F word Parental Death in the Past, Mention of Cancer, Scattering Ashes of a Parent, Romance had 1 make out, a but lustful but nothing crazy in my opinion
