Fact or fiction: becoming a lumberjack and marrying your best friend so she can inherit her family business is a great idea.
When Addison “Roe” Monroe tells me she’s going on a husband hunt at the local lumberjack competition so she can inherit her father’s lumberyard, I think she has finally lost her mind.
But my stubborn friend, who would rather drive a forklift than get her nails done, refused my first marriage offer. And since I can’t stomach watching Roe hitch her wagon to some hulking ax wielder who might be a serial killer, I decide that desperate times require desperate measures.
Call me Lumberjack Luke.
I’ll do whatever it takes to get her to accept my proposal because she’s more than just a friend. And the way she looks back at me? I think she knows it.
On the surface, I’m offering a marriage of convenience to protect her. But the truth is…I’m hopelessly in love with my best friend.
Marrying her and moving her up to Fletcher Mountain might mean I’ve lost my mind too, but so be it.
Because the only thing I would regret more, is never trying.
And that’s a fact.

Fact or fiction? Honeymoon Phase is a sweet, if at times frustrating best friends to lovers story.
This is a fact.
We are back on Fletcher Mountain, Luke in love with his bestie Addison (Roe), Roe laughing it off. Until she can't any more.
Theirs is a complicated situation, and I gots to say, I felt for Luke so much. He's just so fricking lovable and all I wanted was for him to find his HEA. And boy did he had to fight for it.
Roe loves him as a friend, and I wanted to shake her to make her see what she was missing.
I loved the antics of the brothers and the matchmaker Everly as they worked their charms to get Luke and Roe together.
I go so frustrated with her. Yes, I love an independant, strong woman. But when they are so stubborn that they ignore everything good that is right in front of them, GAH! When you add her father into the story I can see why she is like it, but I wanted to bump both their heads together to knock some sense into them hahaha.
But never fear, Daws will always give us what we want, even if this time it was frustratingly slow to get there!
There is some great set up in the epilogue for the next book, and I can't wait for us to get it next year.
