Summary
There’s only one rule; Never fall for your best friend’s sister.
Definitely don’t agree to a temporary fling.
I’m stuck working with Ashley Williams when I’m forced to help my mom’s catering company for the holidays.
Ashley’s a firecracker, and I always love getting under her skin…but now I want her skin against mine. I want to bite that forbidden lip she’s always giving me.
She wants me too, but she’s been burned before and says we’re only hooking up until the new year.
This fling may have a deadline, but now that we’re rolling around in the snow—I can’t just walk away.
Review
For a moment I wished things were different. That we weren’t who we were.
Impossibly Yours is the second book in the Half Moon Lake series by A.J. Ranney. It follows Always Yours, a best friend’s brother, small town, second chance romance; meanwhile, Impossibly Yours is a best friend’s sister, enemies to lovers romance.
We meet our main characters, Ashley and Jackson, in Always Yours. Ashley is Jackson’s best friend, Rhett’s sister. Jackson and Ashley are oblivious to the other’s feelings.
You know how the saying goes, boys tease girls they like. People love what they can’t have—the forbidden fruit. One would covet something they don’t have because everything they do have is never enough.
Temporary flings only sometimes work out. Something always happens that would change the circumstances/relationship. Emotions are messy. Having a deadline for a fling may seem wise at first, with each person knowing all the rules upfront. But life doesn’t go as planned; things can change.
I don’t know what it is, but I wasn’t too fond of Ashley. It could be because I could see a lot of myself in her, the parts I don’t like about myself. So it’s a case of the pot calling the kettle black. And yet I loved Jackson. Even then, I could still recognize some of his faults. Jackson and Ashley separately may be a mess, but they work together and complement one another.
I honestly didn’t think I would cry, but I started shedding some tears toward the end.
A.J. Ranney doesn’t write perfect characters. They have flaws that are clear as day, which makes them realistic and relatable. If you can see a piece of you in a character, you’re more likely to be hooked on the story. Or at least that’s true from my experience.
I want to read more about Ashley’s sisters, and I wish they have their own stories at some point.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5)
