Brother-In-Law Material

New author, same old binge-reading habits. Crystal Lacy, the new(ish--to me--sorta) author. "Brother-In-Law Material", the same old binge-reading habits.

["Can his sister’s fake boyfriend become his real one?

When Kendall O'Hara catches his boyfriend cheating, he runs to his sister--the only person he can rely on in the city. But she's on a business trip, so Kendall finds himself temporary roomies with her super hot and equally kind live-in boyfriend.
Luke Hale's family has made him so jaded regarding relationships that he’s had no problem pretending to be his best friend’s boyfriend. It’s never been a problem, until her sweet, adorable brother arrives.

Kendall’s passion for his food channel is contagious and his openness and vulnerability are intoxicating. They both know the other should be off-limits, but spending time together--cooking, talking, laughing--is so easy and wonderful. Their attraction is undeniable and once Kendall learns that Luke is actually available, all bets are off.

Sizzling chemistry quickly gives way to real feelings. But Kendall’s stay is temporary. Can their friends with benefits arrangement blossom into a forever love or will they both wind up alone again?"]

Sizzling chemistry? yes. Heart-wrenching angst? Also yes.

I love how easy Crystal's characters connect. Like Kendall was a blabbering, awkward but adorable mess 90% of the time. Luke was a rich, put-together, build-like-a-greek god who can cook. But they just worked. So. Damn. Well.

It took them pretty damn long to figure it out, or to accept that forever love was possible for them.
