Every book Dana LeCheminant writes becomes a new favorite & Crossing the Brooklyn Briggs is no exception. It’s a friends/enemies to lovers, brother’s best friend, forced proximity, sweet romcom that’ll leave you desperately wanting to see these characters again. The swoon worthy romance, all those purposeful glances & brushing of hands (cue the “Darcy flex”), and the cute, funny banter made this an irresistible read. There’s also a heartfelt storyline of second chances and coming back after a betrayal.

Brooklyn’s a science teacher but really wants to be back in the lab. She’s had bad luck with men, but hopes the hot male science teacher she’s competing with for STEM Teacher of the Year may be the answer. When her brother’s best friend Jordan literally falls back into her life, her luck may have just changed.

Jordan has always been attracted to Brooklyn, but because she’s his best friend’s sister, she’s been off limits. When an accident gives Brooklyn a concussion, Jordan’s there to take care of her. But, something’s off. Brooklyn isn’t the vibrant, confident, ready to prank woman she used to be. Can he inspire Brooklyn to find her old self again all the while hiding his true feelings, especially with his messy past?

I loved Jordan and Brooklyn! Their chemistry was amazing. From Brooklyn’s texting fiascos (which I personally relate to a little too much) and experiments to Jordan’s mad chef skills and flirting lessons, this book kept me laughing, swooning, and anxiously anticipating each page. I loved the way Jordan calls Brooklyn “Queen” and his misnaming of the guy she has a crush on. I loved Brooklyn’s “experiments” to see if Jordan likes her.

This series is a must read! Each book has been an absolute favorite. I love all the Briggs siblings and their path to love. It’s unique in that each book can be read as a standalone and in any order. They all share one particular moment in common. Now I’m dying to read Houston’s story! I received an advanced complimentary copy from the author. All opinions are my own and voluntarily provided. ( )
