Tucker by Juliana Stone

My Rating (out of 5 stars):

3 stars—I liked it!

Goodreads Description:

“Tucker Simon has given up on love. After a tragedy, it’s just not in the cards for him, and he wishes his family would get off his back. He’s fine—or at least he thought he was–until a family wedding forces him to address a few things, namely his date, Abby Mathews. She’s been put in the ‘friend’ category, mostly because she deserves so much more than what he can give. But the more time that he spends with her, Tucker begins to think that maybe there is a chance for love after all…

Abby Mathews has been in love with Tucker Simon since he walked into her family’s bar nearly a year ago. But he’s got baggage and heartache a plenty. His one-night-stands aren't going to lessen that no matter what he thinks. Tucker needs a friend, but Abby wants to give him more, and as they navigate their way through a weekend in Florida, their attraction can’t be ignored. Abby has to make a choice. Does she cherish their friendship and take what she can get? Or does she go after what she really wants, which is Tucker’s heart…”

My Thoughts:

This was the first book I’ve read by Stone. I really liked her style and am exited to check out more of her work.

I enjoyed both main characters and the surrounding cast. Good emotional connection and some humor thrown in. This is the first in a series about the Stone family, an Stone makes the reader interested in the characters coming up in her following books.
