Review
The banter was bantering, along with hidden crushes for each other but I didnt feel we got enough of Charlie and Maren. The romance definitely took the backseat. There were one too many larger heavier plot threads too many.
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the The Favorites Series. Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a complete standalone. But for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended reading order.

❝I’d still have come for you, no matter where you went,” he says, his lips close to my ear. “Even if you’d gone to the underworld.❞

My stepbrother’s estate is fading fast. My resistance to him is fading faster.
When my marriage hits rock bottom, I escape to South Carolina to help my charming disaster of a stepbrother, Charlie—aka “the douchiest man in Manhattan”—fix up the decaying Southern mansion he’s just inherited.
But the house has other ideas. Doors slam, voices whisper, and something—or someone—wants us to be more than reluctant roommates. An old journal confirms it: Charlie and I seem to be mirroring every step of a love story that took place a century ago.
A doomed one.
With every soft moment and stolen glance, it gets harder to imagine ending up with anyone else. But all I’ve ever wanted is a family, and that won’t be happening with a man who once said he’d rather be murdered than father a child.
Our story was written long before we came to this house. But do we still have time to rewrite the way it ends?
