USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn brings more humor and heart with the third novel of her Getting Lucky series: a story about breaking curses and laying your heart on the line.
What happens when your secret crush isn’t so secret anymore?
I’ve had feelings for Eve Roberts for as long as I can remember, but because she also happens to be the twin sister of my best friend, Eric, I’ve never … my best friend, Eric, I’ve never acted on my feelings and long ago resigned myself to keeping my crush under wraps.
But after a terrible falling-out with Eric involving a failed restaurant venture and plenty of blame on both sides, I’m back in Port Snow without my best friend and without any direction. But can you guess who’s here? Eve. And my attraction to her is as strong as ever.
As old feelings rush back, Eve and I find ourselves pulled together, whether we like it or not. Lines are crossed, secrets are kept, and we soon discover that the difference between love and friendship may not be so black and white, after all.
Everyone wants that secret crush to love them back…but will I be ready when she does?

Siiiiigh… just finished this book and I couldn’t be more in love with the Knightly brothers, Port Snow and all the people living there
I’m a total sucker for small town romances, and I’m so in love with this city, I look for it on google maps every time I read a book in this series! That town is fiction, let me save you from looking for it
The third book in the Getting Lucky series brings us Reid and his story. As the title reveals, he has a secret crush. On Eve, twin sister on his best friend!
But how does the best friend react, when he knows what’s going on?!
This book has all the feels, heartache, love, sexy ness, swooning and humor you expect in a Meghan Quinn book!!
I kindly received an arc from Montlake through Netgalley and voluntarily left a review
Welcome back to Port Snow, where the Knightley family rules… well, all except one. Reid. He considers himself the black sheep. The screw-up. The failure. Of course, he is the only one who thinks that. And Eve is there to help him see his worth, that is if he allows her. She’s his best friends twin sister whom he’s known since childhood, but she’s also off limits. While part of a series, each book can be read as a stand alone. (Each features a different brother.) Reid is his own breed of man. While he may come across as confident and a bit brass, he also has extreme self loathing and after a failed attempt at his dream, feels lost in the world. This book is him finding his way and overcoming that failure and moving on, growing. With Eve and her never ending patience at his side. There are laughs, and there are tears. This story doesn’t have just one heart breaking break-up but several. He really pushes Eve’s limits, but how far can he push before she breaks? As I mentioned, there is some humor, but it’s got a more serious vibe to it. It’s well written, the characters are written beautifully. Our time in Port Snow is almost over as the brothers, one by one break their love curse.
*I received an ARC from Netgalley.
I have been a fan favorite of this series from the very beginning. As each book in this series closes out, I anxiously await the next siblings book, and I finally got Reid’s. While I did enjoy That Secret Crush, Reid’s story is not my favorite, but I don’t want to start off with my dislikes. So I will start with everything I did like / love.
For starters, this series has an amazing amount of family dynamic. The banter between the family feels life-like, and I have found on more than one occasion where I laugh my tail off. The small town vibe ; I live it, I breathe it, so it makes it a more relatable read for me. The title; it plays a HUGE roll within the story, and what is not to love about a secret crush? For me, I think this author is insanely talented. I find it easy to finish anything she writes all in one sitting. With that said, That Secret Crush flowed extremely well. I love, love, love how the plot was not some HUGE blow up. I loved the whole friends to lovers trope, it made the banter between H and h more eventful, it also made the chemistry that more combustible. THE MAIN THING I LOVED??? The will and the fight NOT to give up.
Now onto the dreaded dislikes. I found it very hard to comprehend the main H. I know, I know you’re thinking how can you possibly even say this because no woman can comprehend any man? His thinking process just drove me nuts with feeling so dang sorry for himself, and HE did not want to take the initiative to change his circumstances for like…. ever! I also felt he may have been a little bit too crass for me… AHHHH, please do not hate me for saying that. He was quite the jokester and for me, the joking was a bit excessive.
Overall, this was not a bad story. It is one I would probably read again. Now I am on the verge of dying because I need Brigs book so dang bad.
*I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK

A laugh out loud brother’s best friend-friends to lovers storyline. I enjoyed this addition to this series. Reid is hilarious! His banter with Eve is flirty and their chemistry is hot. You’ll laugh, swoon and root for them through the “curse”.
I love Reid! Sure he has his flaws- he’s insecure and dwelling on the past. But he’s so dirty and flirty and fun otherwise. And Eve is way more understanding than we expect in a romance. Sure, in real life, we know love is tough and you have to pick your battles and forgive, and that’s what she does. I love this little town, I love this family, and I love this series. There were moments that cracked me up and moments that made me sad. In the end, though, you get a happy ever after, a book that could be read on it’s own, and excitement built for the only brother left standing after this one.
