Leah chose the wrong brother—she just doesn’t know it yet.
Leah Parker has always found Shawn to be the most attractive of the Wrighting brothers, and the most complicated. Which is why she chooses his predictable, steady brother, Sebastian, to date after an ex leaves her confidence shattered and reputation ruined. While Sebastian is the perfect option to ease back into the dating pool, they make better friends than lovers and part amicably.
It’s Leah’s senior year of college and she is more than looking forward to Spring Break with the brothers, until Sebastian backs out. Now she has to face the trip single and without her best friend. Shawn’s yo-yo mood swings—sweet one minute and grumpy the next—make her even more apprehensive, despite Sebastian’s reassurances that Shawn will look out for her.
Shawn loves pushing Leah’s buttons, even if it makes her think he hates her. Her angry responses to him are the only times he glimpses the fiery woman she used to be before her jerk of an ex-boyfriend got a hold of her. He misses that spitfire woman. The way her blue eyes flash when she’s mad and how she flays him with her sharp words is nothing short of amazing. But things get complicated when he’s forced to face his tangled mess of emotions head-on.
Their upcoming Spring Break trip offers Shawn the chance to own up to his true feelings, show Leah what she truly means to him and tackle the hardest task of all—convincing her that she was with the wrong brother.

“I can’t help leaning toward him. It’s like he is the sun and I am an asteroid, drawn in by his gravity. I don’t stand a chance.”
“Are you trying to get my attention Lee? … I assure you, you have it.”
This slow burn between Shawn and Leah pulled me under and wrapped me up, refusing to let go until the end. I don’t frequently read college-age characters, but I really enjoyed the entire close-knit group. I can’t wait to read more of their stories as I feel like there were some fun storylines foreshadowed.
Leah has experienced some tough trauma. Like so many, she attempts to deal with it on her own, failing to realize that she has an incredible support system. Her process may not be traditional, but it’s a beautiful story that creates a beautiful love. We get to see her grow, on her own terms, and learn how to fight for herself, too.
Shawn has been trying to bury his feelings for Leah, but through his actions, he clearly puts them on display. His brothers see right through the ruse, but I love that they only give it a nudge when needed, allowing things to naturally unfold. I love getting to see his big heart in the actions he takes and how he grows to learn how to let his words match as well.
All of the brothers are supportive, caring, and full of plenty of fun. Each brother is unique, complete with their own quirks, but ultimately, they all have such big hearts. Meg is also a crucial component to helping Leah find her way back to her true self.
