Beau and Reese are an engaging likable couple who have been deeply attracted/in love with each other for a long time but both were afraid to rock the boat of their friendship and declare themselves until Reese is scheduled to be leaving the country for an extended period of time. Things come to a head on a camping trip and true feelings are revealed. Now they have to decide where their priorities lie and just what the future holds for them. A good, quick, satisfying love story delivered in the way Ms. Hunt is so well known for.

Reese and Beau are best friends at work. She accepts a new position, and will be traveling in Europe. He’s always wanted more than friendship with her. He helps her pack, then takes her camping before she leaves, hoping this will lead to romance. This is a short and sweet story. I love when they finally wake up and realize that they’re meant for more. And Beau is just the best, coming up with a solution to keep them together.

Reese is leaving to take a job overseas. Before she leaves Beau, her best friend asks her to go camping with him over the Fourth of July. Reese has never camped before. Beau is really so in love with her and he is finally going to tell her. There may be fireworks, in the sky and on the ground! Two people who are best friends and don’t want to lose that friendship, but maybe instead of friendship it is really love. This is just a quick read about two people who have grown to love each other and now need to figure out the next step. The characters are very likable and kinda awkward. They are just so normal, you will love them. Great little read.

Beau and Reese. Best friends until she gets a promotion that will take her abroad. Beau convinces her to spend her last weekend camping with him to celebrate the 4th of July. I enjoyed the way Ms. Hunt brought their relationship full circle I only wish there had been more summery 4th vibes. Still a good book without that party atmosphere.

Friendship to Forever Love! This is about Beau and Reese. They have both been best friends since she started working in the same company. The story starts off with her receiving the job of her dreams, but it entails on her leaving the US. Beau goes to help her pack and insists on a weekend for themselves as they will not see each other after she leaves. He takes her back home to where he is from and introduces her to camping. She gets into her own mess but overall, the ending is so sweet. I love that they added an extended epilogue for 10 years later. I love it. This is a quick read and you can’t put it down once you start.

Perfect sweet/steamy friends-to-lovers quick read. The author did a really good job showing the friendship and chemistry between the two main characters and it was just a fun, feel good story.
Note: Available on KU at time of posting. This is a series of standalones written by different authors so I can only speak to the high quality of this one, but I plan to check out more in the series. Short, novella length recommended to romance readers.
