Just Love by Prescott Lane
Release Date: July 9, 2019
Just Love, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by Prescott Lane.
There’s two sides to every love story. The how you fell in love, and the how you fell apart.
This is ours.
The cardinal rule of friendship is you don’t mess with your friend’s sister.
That goes double when she’s his little sister.
It was just supposed to be fun.
She wasn’t supposed to end up being the love of my life.
And I definitely wasn’t supposed to break her heart.
Ainsley is a wedding dress designer. That should’ve been a warning that she’s a hopeless romantic. That should’ve clued me in that she believes love conquers all.
But there are some things that love can’t fix. I’m one of them.
She thinks love is the answer.
But love is the reason I let her go.
A stand-alone, contemporary romance.
I don't even know where to start with my review for this book. This book elicited so many feels I had to put it down a few times just to get myself together before continuing to read. This covers a couple of different popular tropes in the romance genre: sibling's best friend, secret crush, second chance at love. Told in dual POV, we get the story as to what happened 18 months prior, all the way through to present day. Ainsley is the younger sister to Brody, who is the best friend and business partner to Rhett, the one man Ainsley's been crushing on for a while. I liked how Brody, Rhett and Brody's girlfriend Skye all stepped in to help raise Ainsley after the deaths of her and Brody's parents when she was a teenager, so there's plenty of history between the four. We get to see how, in the present time frame, the friendship between Ainsley and Rhett evolves into something more. Until it all falls apart in a heartwrenching way that I was unprepared for.

Excerpt:
I
knew the kind of guy Rhett was. I knew
serious wasn’t his thing. I knew using
the word love usually sent him
running for the hills. I knew it, and I
did it anyway.
But
he wasn’t that guy with me. He and I
were different. I know he loved me.
I’ve
loved that man since I was fifteen years old.
How could I not? Forget the abs,
the tan skin, those pale, sexy blue eyes.
Forget the fact that his voice sends shivers down my spine. The first time we kissed, I felt my whole
world shatter and fall into place at the same time.
I
tried to pretend to be “that” girl. The
kind that can kiss a guy just for fun, screw a man and not imagine a life with
him. I tried. I failed.
The hopeless romantic in me wasn’t having it.
My
heart should’ve known better — but my heart was no match for Rhett Bennett.
When Rhett and I fell apart, I broke
up with social media. I have to say,
that breakup was a lot easier. No
hashtags, no emojis, no memes to post.
Some people use social media as their therapist. I’ve seen people post play-by-plays of their
divorce, or explain every detail of their latest illness or drama. I probably could’ve attracted a lot more
followers if I chronicled the demise of our relationship. It’s the stuff of soap operas.
But instead, I broke it off with
Facebook, banned Instagram, and boycotted Twitter.
Today, Facebook and I are having one
last romp. Relationship status
update: Single.
That’s it. That one little change. I have to start somewhere. Skye’s right about that.
The one part of being single I have
embraced is the diet. The single woman
diet consists of basically any breakfast food for dinner, coffee, and
alcohol. I’ve gotten so good at it, I no
longer need a grocery cart when I shop.
Quick tip, don’t get a cart at the grocery store, only buy what you can
hold. It’s good for the budget and the
waistline. Unfortunately, that rule
doesn’t work so well at clothing stores.
