You know that pact you make with your childhood best
friend of the opposite sex? The one where, if you’re both still single, lonely
and hopeless at thirty, you’ll marry each other?
This is the story about what happens when you hit the big three-oh and have to make good on that pinky promise.
Personally, I think love, romance and all of that nonsense is a crock of, well, you know. And Reese Collins, the boy who used to put worms in my hair at backyard barbecues, knows that better than anyone.
But when he moves to the same city I’ve happily, and singly, inhabited for years, memories of oaths past resurface. Reese is like a dog with a bone; a really hot dog and that bone just happens to be me.
He won’t stop hounding me, and the crazy thing is, my frigid, traitorous heart is starting to cave. For my best friend.
It seems so far off, when you’re a kid playing Monopoly in your treehouse. But when that clock strikes midnight on your thirtieth birthday, and you’re standing alone in front of a grocery store-bought cupcake, a childhood deal to walk down the aisle doesn’t seem so silly anymore.

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
It is books like this that make me sad that I didn't have anyone to make a marriage pact with when I was younger. I mean I'm pushing 40 and not even close to getting married so a marriage pact would be very helpful! ;-)
Erin and Reese have been friends for years and as they get close to their 30th birthdays, the pact they made is on both of their minds. Reese is moving back home to take his dream job (he's a freaking NICU nurse y'all...I mean holy swoon!) and wants to make good on the deal they made all those years ago. Erin thinks he is crazy because their friendship is way too important to her, but she also can't help wonder if it would work out between them. And well...you can figure it out from here.
I am such a fan of friends to lovers romances and this is a great one. It is a quick, satisfying one that I read while on a bus trip. It had some really funny moments, (the moms...HILARIOUS), some sweet moments (Reese y'all...LOVE him) and even some sexy moments that completely sold me on Erin and Reese as couple. I admit that in the beginning I had my doubts, but the author was able to change my mind.
