Review of Almost Just Friends

Brief Summary Courtesy of William Morrow Paperbacks 

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.

My Review 

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. This is the 4th book in the Wildstone series and by far my favorite so far. Every book that Shalvis rights she honestly gets better and better. Her stories that she writes allow me to escape from the reality that I live and escape to an amazing town that I only wish that I could live in. 

The two main characters in this book Piper and Camden like many of her other characters each had their own characteristics that stood out to me and wanted me to read more. The character development as always was outstanding for both main and supporting characters. 

In addition to the characters I also enjoyed the storyline. She did a great job of keep you hooked with the the romance but she also include the story of family. I really enjoyed that. To me it gives depth. 

This book is a must read for any Jill Shalvis fan or any person who loves contemporary romance.
