I am NOT in love with my brother's ex.
We're just temporary roommates.
Jolene
Daniels is my best friend. Sorry…was. She was my best friend a lifetime
and ten years of witness protection ago. Now that I’ve returned to my
hometown, Jolene and I are once again hanging out.
As friends.
I do not fantasize about the time we fell asleep in the tree house we
built, and I woke up with her tucked against my aching chest. I don’t
replay the days we raced through the woods, nothing but carefree
adventure and laughter filling the air.
Nope. We’re just old pals, and I’m thrilled to have her back in my life. Of course, I notice how stunning she is, but it’s fine.
Until her apartment floods and she temporarily moves into my place. In
the room beside mine. Nothing but a thin wall between us. She also walks
around in flimsy tank tops. Zero bra.
Did I mention she’s my brother’s ex and he’s looking to rekindle their romance?
Good thing Jolene Daniels and I are nothing but the best of friends.

What I thought about
4 Hints You Love Your Best Friend
I've been loving this Bower Boys series from Kelly Siskind and have been waiting patiently for all the brothers to get their HEA now that they are out of witness protection. In 4 Hints You Love Your Best Friend, brother Cal needs to resolve his feelings for his long-time childhood friend Jolene.
There's plenty of bro-code stuff happening in this story. Prior to witness protection, Cal and Jolene were best friends, hanging out together. Cal already has deeper feelings for Jolene, but when his brother Jake shows interest in dating her, he doesn't stop his brother and that's his first mistake.
Fast forward to post-witness protection, and there's tension between Cal and Jolene. Some of that comes from a situation that developed right before they were whisked off to witness protection so there are some unresolved conflicts here. But Cal still has deep feelings for Jolene, and to make amends for something he thought he did, he tries again to put Jolene and Jake back together. That's a big mistake for Cal, since he really has deep feelings for Jolene.
When Jolene's apartment floods and she needs a place to stay, she ends up in Cal's apartment. Is that a mistake? Maybe and maybe not. The close proximity situation helps everyone's feelings bubble to the top and there's a whole lot of drama going on!
Cal is really a sweet character. He's a big fixer of others problems which at times is endearing and sometimes manipulative. It does come from a good place and he has a huge heart for his family and friends that sometimes gets him in trouble.
As details of that last night before witness protection come out, there's many revelations about what really happened that night that helps to put Cal and Jolene where they need to be -- and that's in each other's arms.
I just love this series and I'm finding I can't get enough of these Bower Boys!
