‘Follow your heart,’ is the cheesiest piece of advice your mother can give you. But in my case, it was exactly what I needed to hear.
I was a young man when I inherited a multi-billion-dollar corporation from my parents. They had died in a horrible accident and I was left to tend to their real estate business. That’s all well and good if the real estate had been something other than shopping … been something other than shopping centers.
Because as soon as e-commerce came around, things went downhill.
And all those people I thought were my friends while I was rich and famous disappeared in a flash.
Leaving me with nothing.
Or so I thought.
Through thick and thin, I had Lola, my best friend.
From childhood, we were attached at the hip.
But no man wants to stay in that dreaded friend-zone so it was time for me to ‘follow my heart.’
I just hope it doesn’t ruin the friendship I value so dearly because to lose Lola would be truly to lose everything.
Maybe it was time for me to truly be attached to the hip with this girl — if you know what I mean — wink wink, nudge nudge.

Ivan and Lola have been best friends since childhood and their friendship never waned. They remain best friends and continue to support one another through thick and thin. Ivan inherited the Manning Property Group from his father, but made some critical mistakes and is now filing for bankruptcy. He had been wealthy all his life and his mother taught him the value of a dollar. She also told him to have a stash where he could find it when things went wrong. Just follow your heart is what she always said. After he’s locked out of his home, Lola gives him a place to stay and start again. She realizes that she’s been given an opportunity to tell Ivan just how she feels. Ivan is in a bad place, thinking he’s a hindrance and worries that Lola won’t look at him the same. He realizes that he loves her but he doesn’t want to lose her friendship. They are good together, sweet and loving, and in no time they find themselves in each other’s arms. It looks like their road to happiness is going to be a longer one than they ever could have dreamed, but someone is lurking just outside their house, vowing to get revenge. If they can survive this, they can survive anything. This is a very sweet story with a slow build-up to their very HEA and, in the end, he followed his heart to the stash.

Sweet friends to lovers
Cherishing Her During Adversity is the first book I have read by Alexa McLean so I was not sure exactly what to expect. I found this to be a nice childhood friends to lovers romance between Ivan and Lola. There are some twists thrown into the fast-pace as they stand beside each other through the good and the bad. They each would like more but do not want to jeopardize their friendship to get it. Eventually one of them is going to have to make the first move and open their heart to tell the other. Sometimes the sweetest things are the ones that are the hardest to get.
I received an ARC of this book from the author for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
