Should've Been You (A Man Enough Romance) by Nicole McLaughlin

Wow this book had some hot love making in it!  Also, very creative.  Yes, I know now you are thinking I should read it to find out what she is talking about.  Yes, you should. I had sisters that were fraternal twins.  One was sunny and pretty and got more attention she was very outgoing. The other was not as pretty, more introverted and felt badly when she would be on the end of someone paying more attention to her sister for those reasons. I use past tense because I lost that sister this last summer at age 58.  Back to the book this book does have a similar set of twins.  Becca has always been attracted to the next-door neighbor Jase.  She has had a secret crush on him for years.  She’s done nothing about it because her sister has always been right there flirting and touching and hanging out with Jase whenever he was around.  When she gets engaged to someone who is not Jase, Becca and Jase find themselves spending more time together when she comes home over Christmas.  Secrets come out that change everything and involve Becca’s sister and a long ago lie regarding Jase and Becca.  Really good story line and this one kind of reminded me of my sister, which was a little sad for me.  It really is a good read and I believe as long as sexual encounters aren’t a problem with you and your reads, you really should pick this one up if you like a good romance!  Hot romance!

I received this book free from Net Galley, in exchange for an honest review. This book was in kindle format
Here is the description of the book as found on Net Galley:
Childhood neighbors get a chance at love in Should’ve Been You, an achingly romantic novella in Nicole McLaughlin’s Man Enough series!
National Guardsman Jase Beckford wants to live a quiet life raising cattle and taking care of his mother. His childhood friend and neighbor Hannah is still his best friend, but when he walks into the Walters house one morning and sees her twin sister Becca for the first time in five years, he wonders if he missed out on something special.
Becca Walters has nursed a secret crush on Jase since childhood, but he always preferred Hannah, so she buried her feelings assuming her sister and Jase would one day turn their flirtation into a real relationship. And this Christmas, she is anticipating a proposal of her own, so Jase’s reappearance in her life doesn’t mean anything. Much. Okay, maybe more than Becca would like to admit.
However, when Becca’s sister gets engaged to someone who’s not Jase, Becca and Jase find themselves spending more together. And when secrets are revealed, suddenly those dormant feelings come back to life; but is the possibility of something between them worth risking the happiness of everyone they love?
