I miiiiiight have squealed a little bit when I was approved for a copy of Lily Morton's "Something Borrowed." It's the second book in her Confetti Hitched series.
["Stan has never let his blindness hold him back, but he’s beginning to realise his love life is keeping him from moving forward.
He can’t remember a time when he wasn’t in love with his best friend. Rafferty is everything to him—his partner in crime, his confidante, and the person who understands him best. But Rafferty is incapable of reciprocating Stan’s feelings.
As a successful wedding planner, Rafferty is passionately committed to helping newlyweds begin their happily-ever-afters, but after a rootless childhood he’s equally determined not to seek his own. How can he trust in love and marriage when so many of his brides and grooms are repeat customers?
Stan is the glue that keeps the pieces of Rafferty’s life together, and as such Rafferty has always kept Stan safely in the friend box where he can’t lose him. However, lately that conviction has wavered and now Rafferty is bursting with complicated feelings for his best friend. The timing couldn’t be worse because Rafferty has realised he’s in love with Stan just as Stan is moving on."]
Lily Morton will never cease to amaze me. She's soooo freaking talented. She balances the angst so well without making me go freaking crazy with anxiety. Plus the fluff and spice levels?!?! Per. fect.
Stan and Rafferty certainly weren't perfect. Together, yes...eventually...when they finally figured their shit out. But before then, before the communication and the kisses and the confessions? They were fucked. Their HEA almost slipped through their fingers. They were half-way to heartbroken before the love even had a chance to really bloom.
/I/ was freaking heartbroken and barely breathing through sections of this thing (okay so there was a litttttle bit of anxiety). But KNOWING that there was a happily ever after, KNOWING that their friends wouldn't let them truly fuck this up, KNOWING that the two of them together and in love was Inevitable? That helped a lot.
These two were so freaking cute and protective and stupid. I mean, they could have saved themselves a lot of turmoil if they just talked that first time around. BUT if they did that, we wouldn't have a beautiful novel so...
