Really enjoyed seeing this one play out (sisters husband). I liked seeing them work through the struggles and both find their HEA. Their found family is awesome.

Mild but entertaining.
This felt like reading a MF romance, and I can’t put my finger on why. I just forgot Grady was male. I’m also unsure if it is a good thing or a bad thing, I just noticed it.
Grady drops out of college and stays at his sister’s while he gets on his own feet. Turns out the sister is getting a divorce, a very civil divorce while still leaving with the soon-to-be ex husband, Boone
The problem is that Grady wakes up queer feelings in Boone, and they start an ill advised relationship. Under the same roof the sister lives with her 4yo daughter.
Yeah, sticky.
I liked how Grady treats his niece and that’s about it.

Boone is in the final steps of his divorce, trying to find a new balance for his family. When his ex-wife's brother Grady moves back to follow his passion of photography and stays with them, they find a new depth to their previous relationship. One night changes their dynamic completely, and they both become torn between family and love.
Grady and Boone are both trying to figure out life after making some big changes. Being in close proximity on the road only increases the tension between the two. Grady gives Boone a fresh look on life and makes him want to put himself first for once. Boone is the man of Grady's dreams and someone who he can share those dreams with. They were a bit of a slow burn, but had amazing chemistry when they finally got together.
I liked this for the most part, but it wasn't that interesting overall. There's nothing bad about it at all, it just didn't hold my attention or pique my interest. The forbidden romance aspect had a lot of potential, but I just didn't feel the angst. It didn't quite work for me, but I did read the whole book and like I said, there wasn't anything bad about it. I'm curious about the next couple, but will probably hold off reading until I see some of the reviews.

This was a sweet MM romance between Boone and Grady.
Boone and Grady can’t deny their attraction for one another even though Boone is still married to Grady’s sister. They can no longer resist the attraction and temptation and finally give into their feelings.
Sweet and spicy read!

Loved this - definitely favorite in the series. I was a bit hesitant because of the sister's ex-husband/ ex-wife's brother thing but I ended up absolutely loving it!

Boone and Grady were so good! I loved this forbidden Brother in Law romance! Both characters finding themselves in different ways and with each other was so good. The tension with the family was heart wrenching but made the final outcome soo much sweeter ❤️ I love the portrayal of the whole Copper Lake Family in each of Ashleys books, and this one is no exception of that! I can’t wait to see whats next!
