“I’ll take them!”
That’s what I tell the social worker when my pre-k student and his baby brother need an emergency foster placement. I’ll do anything to keep the brothers from being split up. But my apartment’s flooded and there’s only one house I can take them to on such short notice…his.
Knox
Daniels, my older brother’s best friend, offers his new place without
hesitation. He’s not moving back to our tiny town until next
month—that’s when all our hotshot firefighters are returning for their
one and only chance to rebuild our fathers’ fallen, iconic crew.
It
doesn’t matter that I’ve been silently in love with Knox since we were
kids. It can’t matter that we pretend that reckless prom night kiss
never happened. It won’t matter that my feelings for him could destroy
his lifelong friendship with my brother and threaten the certification
of their hotshot crew. Because I’ll be out of his house long before he
gets back.
Except
Knox just walked in…a month early. And the icing on this awkward cake?
He’s gorgeous as always and I’m covered in baby puke. He takes one look
at the boys and tells me we can make this work—
We can temporarily fake a relationship to keep them from being separated by the system.
Suddenly, everything matters.
What I thought about Reason to Believe
Rebecca Yarros returns to the Legacy world in Reason to Believe with a story of second chances. Harper and Knox have just a little history that didn't get a chance to develop because there's a big brother who doesn't want his little sister messing with his best friend. Personally, I get a little miffed with this trope because what brother wouldn't want his sister to be happy with a guy he considers best friend material? I'll never truly understand that bro-code, but I digress.
Harper opens her heart to a selfless act of love and fosters two young children, even though she doesn't quite have the accommodations for them. But Knox comes to the rescue with a place for her to stay -- his empty house -- and when he comes home early, the togetherness stirs up emotions in a big way.
There's plenty of conflict and tensions to keep the story moving along and Knox and Harper have plenty of hurdles they have to deal with to keep the reader on an emotional roller coaster. Rebecca Yarros knows how to wring the emotions out of the reader and isn't afraid to use it!
I thought this was a nice start (although a bit of a continuation since there are two novellas that help develop this world -- Reason to Believe works well as a standalone) to the series and I'm looking forward to more.

Rebecca loves military heroes and has been blissfully married to hers for almost twenty years. She’s the mother of six children, ranging from kindergarten to law school, and is currently surviving the teenage years with three of her four hockey-playing sons.
