In this book we have Mia and Gus (Angus) two people who grew up together, lived near each other and have been friends forever. Gus currently owns a bar that he bought and renovated after his time in the service. He served with Mia’s brother who unfortunately did not come home. Mia is a single mother who has been struggling living at home with her parents. But, her parents decided to sell their ranch and now Mia is homeless. Gus is willing to let her live in house while he resides in the loft above the bar. Gus also helps her get to important job interview that really increase her income and it’s in her field of study. Now all things seem to be looking up but the job that hired her assumed that Gus was her husband and the father of her son. So they have to pretend to be married until she can clear up that mistake. This book is so incredibly angsty. They both want and long for each other but believe that it will never happen. Gus doesn’t believe that he is good enough for Mia and he is really troubled by his past. Mia thinks that Gus will never love her because she is his sister’s best friend. Many times while reading this book, I wanted to scream at the characters to get over themselves all of this heartbreak for nothing. They just needed to really talk and clear up so many issues. This is just a sweet romantic book of star crossed lovers.
