Childhood neighbors get a chance at love in Should’ve Been You, an achingly romantic novella in Nicole McLaughlin’s Man Enough series!
National Guardsman Jase Beckford wants to live a quiet life raising cattle and taking care of his mother. His childhood friend and neighbor Hannah is still his best friend, but when he walks into the Walters house one morning and sees her twin sister Becca for the first time in five years, he wonders if he missed out on something special.
Becca Walters has nursed a secret crush on Jase since childhood, but he always preferred Hannah, so she buried her feelings assuming her sister and Jase would one day turn their flirtation into a real relationship. And this Christmas, she is anticipating a proposal of her own, so Jase’s reappearance in her life doesn’t mean anything. Much. Okay, maybe more than Becca would like to admit.
However, when Becca’s sister gets engaged to someone who’s not Jase, Becca and Jase find themselves spending more together. And when secrets are revealed, suddenly those dormant feelings come back to life; but is the possibility of something between them worth risking the happiness of everyone they love?
My Review 4 STARS
**Copy Provided by Netgalley and St Martins Press for an honest review**
I was just thinking that if you’d been my middle-school teacher, I would not have been able to focus… All men— no matter their age—can appreciate a beautiful woman. Even teachers are fair game for the spank bank.
This novella was a fun read and is mainly about friends finding themselves in a situation in which they finally feel able to say they had a crush on each other, but due to a petty sister, thought that the other did not really like them at all.
I really liked Becca, but i though that Jace was a bit of a wet blanket when it came to Hannah and it is only with her getting engaged does he finally, really, move on with his life without her as his 'significant' other.
The story flows well and can be read quite quickly and can certainly be read as a stand alone book as i have not read any of the previous books.
