New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis returns to Wildstone with the touching story of finding your place in the world—and the people who make it home.
Piper Manning’s about as tough as they come, she’s had to be. She raised her siblings and they’ve thankfully flown the coop. All she has to do is finish fixing up the lake house her grandparents left her, sell it, and then she’s free.
When a massive storm hits, she runs into a tall, dark and brooding stranger, Camden Reid. There’s a spark there, one that shocks her. Surprising her further, her sister and brother return, each of them holding their own secrets. The smart move would be for Piper to ignore them all but Cam unleashes emotions deep inside of her that she can’t deny, making her yearn for something she doesn’t understand. And her siblings…well, they need each other.
Only when the secrets come out, it changes everything Piper thinks she knows about her family, herself…and Cam. Can she find a way to outrun the demons? The answer is closer than she thinks—just as the new life she craves may have already begun.
Review:
“You’re the one always fixing everyone’s life, everyone’s but your own, of course. But even the Fixer needs help sometimes.”
Boy, those Jill Shalvis books are everything. Every time I open one up, I just know I’m going to fall in love. This is the story of Piper, Cam, and all the family that comes with them. The romance was on point. The male and female leads made me swoon. It was the family dynamics that’s truly made Almost Just Friends what it was—a masterpiece.

- Occasionally maybe make an effort to look nice.
- Don’t cut your own bangs no matter how sad you are.
- Never ever, EVER, under any circumstances fall in love.
Piper is my kind of gal. She’s that one whose always making lists upon lists. The organized one—the one who needs to let loose a little bit. Cam is works as a DEA agent and is also in the Coast Guard. The way these two start out is wonderful!
The romance was sexy, sweet, and explosive. After spending most of her life taking care of others (including her siblings) Piper is finally learning that it’s okay to put herself first. Cam is right there by her side helping her along. He has some demons in his past that have caused him tons of guilt...among other things.
Overall, this is a classic Shalvis and will no doubt put a huge smile on reader’s faces!
