Better Than Me

Natalie and Jonah are amazing friends. She is the ray of sunshine, always full of hope while Jonah carries the darker viewpoint, not believing love is possible for him. When Natalie needs a place to stay while her apartment is repaired, Jonah steps up even though having someone live with him, even Natalie, makes him nervous. As these two spend more and more time together through work and living together, feelings and attraction grow. But Jonah is the one-night stand guy with Natalie looking for a long-term relationship. What will Jonah do when he realizes Natalie wants that one-night with him? Will he say yes? Will he be able to keep his heart hardened from her? Or will Natalie breakthrough and melt away all his walls? This is not an easy journey for them. They both have new challenges thrown at them that they must tackle which may be just what they need to find a true forever love.

This is a good friends to lovers book with a few twists involved! All I could do was laugh at Natalie’s luck! The underlying level of comedy in this storyline was so worth it! Jonah is Natalie’s best friend but wasn’t necessarily willing to help her when she becomes homeless after a freak accident. She somewhat inserts herself into his personal space, and the chemistry starts to grow from there. I really felt for Natalie and her past and how it paralleled to the patient she was working with. The more time Jonah and Natalie spent outside of work and in his personal space, the more chemistry that developed and the more they fought it. When they both find out things about each other that nobody else knows, they develop more than a friendship and I was totally rooting for them! When Natalie’s past threatens to ruin what they’ve started, the question is how both of them will handle it and if they will make it out together. Overall, this was a good read with a HEA that we all needed. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
