In the past, Lily had always been off-limits to him, but that was then and this was now… However, he quickly learns she’s still a rulebreaker. And worse yet, his heart wa

This ‘opposites attract’ romance begins with Lily & Tony’s elevator mishap laying the groundwork for a potentially re-established friendship. However, friendship is not easy as they navigate opposing opinions, amid chaos, in their newly appointed roles as they finalise preparations for the Arts Festival. An easy-to read, fast moving plot keeps readers entertained in the lives of the small, close-knit community o Bluestar Island. I received a free copy of this book & my review is voluntary.

He's bowties & straight edges, the consummate rule follower. She's colorful stickers & angles, & thinks rules are made to be bent. Tony & Lily couldn't be more wrong for each other, & that's what makes them perfect together. A sweet story w/great characters who grew up together but were off-limits 'cause her big bro said so. Neil was protecting them both, wanting to ensure they were confident in what they wanted. In the end, waiting paid off big-time, their love steadfast. Booksprout revie
