Best Of Intentions was so sweet!! I fell in love with both Nate and Jenny in Best Of Me, so I was so excited to read their story!!
These two are just so sweet and down to earth. They made it impossible for me not to fall in love with them. I laughed and cried right along with them.
Nate was a one night stand kind of man, there was never a reason to have a relationship. Then why could he not stop thinking one woman in particular. His little sister’s best friend might just be the person to get him to settle down. But would his past mess up what could be?
Jenny was looking for love, so she knew her best friend’s older brother should be the last person on her list. But why was he everywhere she was? She knew he would be nothing but trouble, but her heart didn’t care. Would they have a real shot or would Nate mess it up?
Sigh! My heart was full! Nate was such a sweetheart! I loved how Best Laid Plans, Best Of Intentions and Best Of Me were all interconnected. The little pieces you saw in each book made the characters shine!!
Cute and funny, but also really emotional, and completely real best friend’s brother romance. Nate and Jenny will steal your hearts! Interesting reveal about her diabetes and how she felt she had to hide it from previous relationships. so good
Nate and Jenny were the perfect duo ! With their intense attraction I knew there were some disastrous times ahead. As their story played out. I was falling more and more in love with these characters. Such a beautiful story.
I really enjoyed this book. Highly recommend.
Best of Intentions was my first from this author, but after reading this book I am dying to get my hand on Best Laid Plans.
In this book we get Jenny and Nate’s story. I really enjoyed these characters and thought that they had amazing chemistry. Jenny has always had a thing for her best friends older brother and she finally decides to do something about it. When he shoots her down after she asks him to dance she decides her silly crush needs to go. However, Nate is finally looking at Jenny in a different light. Not ready for the jealousy he feels when he sees Jenny talking with another guy, he decides that maybe for just one night he can let her get close.
This book was full of romance, a little drama, some suspense and heartbreak. The author really had me feeling all the feels from start to finish and there were multiple times I just wanted to shake some sense into these characters so they would open their eyes. From start to finish I was hooked and couldn’t wait to find out how everything was going to end.
This is a must read book for sure!- By Alisa
Nate the man who thought he would never love. GG who thought she would never get the man she is crushing on. Both have pasts that hold them back. GG with her medical issues and Nate with his relationship issues. It was all about second chances for these too. L.K.Farlow you did it again with another amazing story two great people to find love and live a happy life!!!
Oh my gosh this book…the feels gahhh.
I’ve only read a couple books from this amazing author but let me tell you this, the ones I have read have been amazing and this one, Best of Intentions, it is phenomenal! It blew me away and left me in complete and utter awe.
There’s a select few kind of books that make me weak and a sisters best friend is without a doubt one of them and this is exactly what this book is.
Nate and Jenny are incredible characters and you just can’t help but fall for them both as a single or together. Their characters are loveable and put them together they shine.
Nate struggles throughout this book with a certain event that happens early on in his life but has carried with him ever since and that’s the thing that stops him from wanting a life time relationship, he’s a stunning cop with playboy ways but getting any girl he wants doesn’t exactly make him the happiest.
Jenny, oh this woman. She’s amazing and will literally help anyone in need. She’s kind, loving and has a beautiful, beautiful soul. She’s strong and confidant until she’s in the presence of a certain hot cop who turns her into a bumbling mess.
Reading about these two has been fun, from friends to something more back to friends it’s been intriguing and it pulls you in.
L.K. Farlow has recently became one of my favourite authors to read. Her books always and I mean always capture my attention and keep me captivated until the very end. This is most definitely one of my top reads this year.
I’ve recently found myself skipping through books as they haven’t been able to hold my attention but this one did and I’m so glad it did.
Best of Intentions is a fun beautiful my sisters best friend romance. A romance that’ll knock you on your ass with how adorable they are and the amount of feels you have.
LK Farlow’s books just keep getting better! All of her books are great but this one is hands down my favorite thus far!!
Nate & Jenny FOR-EVAH!!! Lol I loved these two so much. While it got a little emotional at times I enjoyed watching Nate’s journey to realizing the depths of his feelings for Jenny and to healing from his past. Finding out about his past was definitely an eye opener when it came to explaining his commitment phobia. But what I loved even more was seeing Jenny blossom when it came to Nate. Finally finding her confidence and giving as good as she gets. The dynamic between these two is absolute FIRE! So much chemistry sexually and emotionally even if they were hesitant to acknowledge it in the beginning. And of course I can’t forget to mention the couple of scene stealing moments courtesy of Miss Tatum. Our Tator Tot was in true form and just as hilariously adorable as ever. This was just overall such a fun and sweet read. I was sad it had to ever end cause there’s so much more I’d love to see with these two. Another five star read from LK.
Let me tell you when I read the story I didnt know what to expect, and let me say wow! It had you swooning in there moments and wanting more. I was rooting for them both. SO you have Jenny who is a sweet girl and is in love with her friends older brother, which of course she thinks he dont see her. Then you have Nate who wants to be with Jenny but at the same time he cant. He has best intentions on walking away but we know what happens when you walk away that your heart tells you your making a mistake.
You have to read this book and you will fall in love with there story, just like i did..
Best of Intentions is LK Farlow’s best book to date and I absolutely loved every minute of this incredible story! This author has such a beautiful way with words and both her character development and storyline are always on point. This story was no exception!
Nate Reynolds and Jenny Jones will steal your hearts with their sweet, lovable, funny and emotionally captivating romance that will leave you breathless and swooning for days after devouring this story. After meeting these two in Best Laid Plans I couldn’t wait to get my hands on their story and LK Farlow delivered everything I wanted and so much more! There was just something about Nate and Jenny that had me wanting more, even though the author gave me everything I was craving. These two are hands down my favorite of her couples, although I do still love them all in their own ways!
This story is a MUST READ if you are a fan of LK Farlow and love a good best friend’s older brother! Seriously go one-click it right now because you will love this sweet and steamy romance!
This book is a must read. Jenny and Nate are so good together! Natalie and Alden make appearances as well and Tatum, love her! With Nate afraid of commitment and Jenny being Natalie’s best friend, things seem to be against them from the beginning. But with Nate’s partner going through loss, he helps Nate see a different picture and things get even more interesting. I love all of these characters and can’t wait to read about Duke.
“Even though she’s everything I’ve ever wanted but never let myself hope for, I know I’ll run her, and I refuse to ruin her…It was nice while it lasted, Jenny Jones, but like I said, I’m not the guy for you.”
I recently read my first book my L.K. – Best Laid Plans. That story blew my mind.
I found myself comparing Best of Intentions to Best Laid Plans. Best Laid Plans won :). I can honestly say that I am a fan of this story and even though I was fond of both characters, I would have loved seing Nate begging a bit more. He had it coming.
* I received an ARC but am leaving a voluntary and honest review *
You know those books that grab onto some part of your soul, tug on your emotions and keep you utterly captivated?
This was one of those books for me.
I loved everything about Nate and Jenny’s story – even when he was a complete asshat.
Their chemistry was of the charts – hot as hell and so much more.
I can’t really find the words to express just how much I loved their story, so I’m just going to say, READ IT! It’s so much better than the 5 stars I can give it.
4.5 Stars!
I love the way this Author writes a book, she draws you in and makes you feel like your part of the story. Through all the laughs and a little tears you can’t help but to form a relationship with these characters. Tatum already had my heart along with her foodie parents Natalie & Alden, so adding Nate & Jenny to the mix was perfect.
Nate is a love them and leave them type of guy. He’s attracted to his sister’s best friend Jenny. Jenny is innocent and expects more from a guy. After one night together the couple end up wanting more than they bargained for in a relationship. Will the couple be able to make things work? A good read that I recommend.
Unrequited love can be really tough to handle, especially when the object of your affection is the brother of your best friend. When Jenny finally garners the attention of her crush, Nate, she is over the moon. But as they say, be careful what you wish for because things can get complicated especially when the heart is involved.
This book made for a fun read, with characters that had great chemistry between them and it was enjoyable to see their relationship evolve over time. The realism of Jenny living with diabetes and how she handled it while approaching her new relationships was very refreshing.
However, I felt that Farlow tried to pack in several heavy topics in a rather quick time frame, while never really addressing any of them. By so casually mentioning the issues that many of her side characters had faced, including; drunken driving, bipolar disorder, and suicide, it seemed that it may have been better off not mentioning them at all as it was just a bit much for one book to handle.
As a newcomer to Farlow’s work I enjoyed this story and her writing style and would gladly read another. For a book filled with the push and pull between two characters fighting their natural attraction to one another this is one you won’t want to miss.
As Always, Happy Reading!
“4/5 Beaming Brains!” – Lit-Up My Mind
Best if Intentions was so good, the characters stole my heart right from the beginning. LK Farlow did such an amazing job developing each character and their story.
Best of Intentions is about two people who don’t really mix together, while Jenny has been in love with Nate for ever, Nate tries to stay away from his sisters best friend. Nate and Jenny were perfect for each other, I loved how Jenny was so out there and she knew what she wanted. Nate isn’t a white dove; he has a past one that Jenny needs to accept. What they agree is a one-time things, turns out to something much more.
Jenny and Nate were meant to be together, it took them years to finally see that they need each other in order to see how life and love really is. This is a must read! LK Farlow will make you fall so in love with Jenny and Nate.
Confused hero with a side serving of angst and drama
I so loved Natalie’s brother, Nate, as the wonderfully playful and protective uncle in Best Laid Plans. But his story in Best Of Intentions, LK Farlow paints him differently than I would have expected. Yes, I agree he has layers. But I think he’s more confused than anything, not complicated. I don’t know, as far as alpha heroes go, he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.
I love that Nate and Jenny have great chemistry, but Nate’s conflict over his feelings for wanting Jenny is a lesson in frustration, angst, and drama. Nate’s disastrous past relationship drives this behavior because, of course, he believes he doesn’t deserve happiness. He goes back and forth nearly giving Jenny emotional whiplash. But I have to give it to Jenny, though, for keeping the faith and trucking on as a strong heroine. Nate’s cute niece, Tatum, steals all the humor in this story.
Best of Intentions was such a great read. I loved it alot. Jenny was sassy and sweet. Nate was cocky and sexy. I loved loved Nate and Jenny so much. They had amazing chemistry and were just perfect together. This is a must read!
