About this listen
He’s an actor in need of an image makeover. She’s determined to show her ex-fiancé that she’s moved on. A fake relationship between two best friends is the perfect solution. Or is it?
Reese Murphy has been my best friend since before we took our first steps. She’s the yin to my yang. The peanut butter to my jelly. It’s all platonic, of course, as we made a pact years ago that we’d never cross the line.
But then she took a job abroad and moved away for a year. To say I’ve been lost without her would be a massive understatement. She’s finally coming home, and I couldn’t be happier about it.
And then she presents me with a proposition—pretend to be her boyfriend. I am an actor, after all, so it should be a piece of cake. It’s all part of her grand plan to show her ex-fiancé that she’s moved on. My agent wants me to clean up my image, so it would be a win-win for both of us.
But then she moves into my house and prances around in those tiny pajama shorts. There's also the night she catches me alone in the bathroom in a compromising position. And she isn’t in any hurry to leave. We get lost in the moment, and now I can’t think of anything else.
We are way past a gray area at this point. We’ve entered a smoking-hot-I-think-I-might-be-in-love-with-my-best-friend area. The problem is, she still thinks we’re fake dating. And I stopped faking it a long time ago.
This is book four in the Cottonwood Cove series. Each one can be listened to as a complete stand-alone. An HEA is guaranteed!

Story
Niko West is the most beautiful man I’ve ever laid eyes on: six feet, four inches of broody, chiseled Greek god in a firefighter suit. He’s also been my best friend since kindergarten. He always says the only solid thing in his life is our friendship. He’s Honey Mountain's favorite player and I’m what you’d call "a relationship girl". But when I find myself single for the first time since turning sixteen, I make Niko an offer he can’t refuse. Who better to show me what I’ve been missing?

Story
Demi Crawford was Magnolia Falls royalty. I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks. She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious. We couldn’t be more different. Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association. I despised her before I even knew her. It was easier that way. But now she’d moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned. I couldn’t avoid her no matter how hard I tried. She was beautiful and honest and sweet. Everything I knew I shouldn’t want. Shouldn’t need.

The scowl should’ve been my first clue to stay far away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend? Reasons two and three. Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house. He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack. Until he sees me shatter. Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall.

My name is Adelaide Edington, and my life was mapped out for me before I even entered the world: who I'd date, where I’d attend college, what I'd be when I grew up. But there comes a time in everyone's life when they face a fork in the road. Should I go left, or should I go right? It didn't matter as long as I didn't remain stagnant any longer. Jett Stone opened me up to a whole new world, reminding me that it was okay to find my own way. I could have roots in Willow Springs and still spread my wings and fly. What I didn't expect was to fall in love with the broody football player.

Keeping things professional with my employees has never been an issue. Until she waltzed onto my property. Billie is talented. She's mouthy. And she's so damn tempting. I can't stop thinking about all the ways I could take her down a peg. I can't stop thinking about her, period. We clash from the moment we meet. And in a small town, on an even smaller farm, it's hard to keep your distance. It's even harder to keep that friction from turning to fire. But keeping my distance? That might be the biggest struggle of all.

I caught her staring at me from across the quad, eyes fixed on the football jersey stretched across my wide chest. And if I flexed my muscles, showing off the strength of a defensive tackle, it was just to see her blush. And then she did, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. Her wide eyes. The freckles on her cheeks. I needed to know her. The girl who scampered away every time we bumped into each other—by accident and by design.

I’ve slapped my cuffs on Luna Lancaster too many times to count and not a single one was for fun. As the sheriff of Starlight Cove, I shouldn't crave her, but I do. She’s chaos, mayhem, and sunshine wrapped up in too-tight yoga pants. The lawbreaker might have the town enamored with her free spirit, but she’s a thorn in my side, even if she is the sexiest woman I've ever seen. I want her out of my town and out of my head. Trouble is, she's made it perfectly clear she's not going anywhere.

Fantastic Small Town Romance!
♾️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♾️
🌶️🌶️
💛 Childhood Friends to Lovers
♥️ Fake Dating
💛 Small Town
♥️ Forced Proximity
💛 HEA
She has done it again, Laura Pavlov kills Small Town Romance! I was head over heels in love with Finn & Reese by chapter 2, and you will be too.
This childhood friends to lovers had so much depth and emotion, I couldn’t stop reading/listening. Add to that some absolutely delightful spice, and you have another Laura Pavlov Must Read!
Finn is the perfect cinnamon roll MMC, and his love for Reese is what dreams are made of! While Reese is understandably guarded, she knows Finn would put her happiness above all else. Watching the pair realize what they’ve been for each other their entire lives, is so much fun. As always, the “it’s always been you” moments, and their family and friends seeing the love they have for each other before they do, is my favourite part of this dynamic.
Just like in the rest of the Cottonwood Cove series, the sibling group texts could literally be their own standalone, and I would read every page! They’re hilarious and sweet, and so entertaining.
Book 4 of the series just continued to embed this family deeper into my heart! Before the Sunset, had me in all the feels, while somehow keeping it light, fun and deliciously sexy!
Audiobook Notes:
This was a fantastic performance by both Maxine Mitchell & Jacob Morgan. Their chemistry was perfect and they nailed every scene. It was an absolute listening pleasure!

Finn and Reese are best friends to lovers perfection!
Gosh how I loved Finn and Reese! This best friends to lovers romance was everything I imagined it to be! Laura writes some of the best books and this was no exception.
These two were the best of friends and truly nothing more when this book starts. Finn needs help with his image. A costar from his TV show was dragging his name through the mud, so his agent thinks is he’s in a relationship it will help repair it. Reese has been working in London for the last year, and is devastated when she learns the ex she was hoping to reconcile with when she returns to Cottonwood Cove is dating someone else. So the two concoct a fake dating scheme to help each other. Finn is the first to fall, seeing Reese in a new light after their time apart. Because what’s better than falling in love with your best friend, the one who knows you better than anyone and would never want to see you hurt?
The bond between these two was so strong! I loved everything about their relationship. The way they supported each other, the way they loved each other, and the way they bantered. It was such a strong foundation for them to build their love on. I think they were always in love with the other, it just took a little bit of fake dating to make them realize what it could be like if they were together.
And the Reynolds family is just the best! The group texts between all the siblings were hilarious and had me cracking up. I just love this family so much.
The narration from Zachary and Maxine was absolute perfection. I’ve always loved both of them, and they were amazing as Finn and Reese. They really brought to life all the heart and all the laughter that the relationship had.

Friends To Lovers At It’s Finest
I knew I was goner after the first two chapter! How can you not fall in love with these two? The narrators Maxine Mitchell & Jacob Morgan were a perfect match. They both did an amazing job of making this book come to life in my head.
This book had me laughing, blushing, and giving me all the tingles. I love small town friends to lovers romance books. This is the first Laura Pavlov book I’ve listened to and I’ll be going back and getting the other books in this series for sure.
The bond between Finn & Reese can be felt in ever word written and spoken between them. The way the talk to each other, banter with each other, support each other, and love each other is everything.
Best friends since they’ve been kids who make a pact never to cross the line. But when they agree to “fake date” so she can get her ex back and he can clear up some rumours about him. But then the lines start to blur. I just couldn’t get enough of watching their true feelings come to the surface and them realizing what they truly mean to each other. ❤️❤️❤️

I enjoyed that this was fun and hot! But I didn't feel 100% invested in their relationship because I feel like they were already dating just without the schmex. I still enjoyed it and had a good time but definitely not my fav in the series!
