I’m not sure if this is considered a novella or just a short book, but it had plenty of time for me to get to know Kennedy and Devon and root for them. They’ve been friends since they were children, they’ve both always fancied each other but were too afraid to try for more than being the great friends they are. One of the things I like about the books from Bethany, is they are more than just the romance. It usually brings in family and friends and makes that a piece of the story too. There is growth in the characters in their lives and personally.
I really feel for Devon and dealing with his parents. I love that this book didn’t shy away from feelings and that the characters were still figuring themselves out. So feelings about life, family, friends and love had me not wanting to put this one down.
What do you do when your best friend, who you’ve always wanted, comes home for your high school reunion? Start flirting with her, teasing her, and then tell her she’s sharing your bed, of course.
From the moment Kennedy Baker moved in next door to me in middle school, she’s been my best friend. After a failed attempt at a kiss in eighth grade, nothing has ever happened between us. We’ve never come close to crossing that line. But since I moved back home—and away from Kennedy—two years ago, my feelings for her have only grown.
When she shows up at my door two weeks ahead of schedule because she needs me, I decide to test the waters and see if fate is finally pulling us together after all these years.
Are Devon and Kennedy destined to finally cross the line and be more than friends? Find out in The Last Key, a playful, steamy, best friends to lovers rom com.
Part of the Brighton High School Reunion shared world.
