Call You Mine

Okay, full disclosure here. I almost never read books out of order in their series. Even when someone tells me it’s okay, because each is a stand-alone. Even those than I ultimately tell others that it’s okay to read out of order. It’s my quirk and I seldom deviate from it, but even when I do, it’s okay.
I spent the first 30% of this book thinking, I should have read the first three beforehand. I was a bit confused and actually put it down for an afternoon and read something else! I never, ever double dip with books...it’s another of those quirks I have.
Ultimately, I went back to reading. I understood, or at least didn’t let my lack of understanding stop me. Then, I needed to suspend belief a wee bit. Let me say, there’s more going on here besides a lovely friends to lovers tale. Is it a bit far fetched? Well, yeah. But it’s so wonderfully written and honestly fun that I whipped through the rest of the book. I’m a fast reader, but it was almost superhuman.
Grace and Beacon are amazing! Beacon is the perfect guy, even as he’s kept secret his feelings for Grace. Grace has been trying to find a guy, but who could possibly live up to the man that is her best friend? It was beyond fun to watch these two turn the page from besties to so much more.
I’m more looking forward to the next books than I am to going backwards, but I need a feel for the brothers than Beacon rates on the a-hole scale from worst to best! I grew to accept them, but I’d like to maybe like/love them. But I know it won’t be anything close to my feelings for Deacon.
So, a 4-4.25 star rating, tempered only by my pause and a bit of disbelief. But I definitely recommend Call You Mine...just maybe read the other books first!?

This is the fourth book in the series and was an emotional roller coaster. It was captivating and heartwarming. Beacon is the youngest Aldridge & he was an enigma. The friendship and bond between Beacon and Grace was so pure . These two were beautiful and perfect together. Claudia weaves these beautiful characters which captures your attention and play with your emotions. I love this series and hands down this is one of the best series. Highly recommend this book.

Omg what a rollercoaster. I absolutely loved Grace and Beacon. This is a Friends to lovers story. The strength you see in Grace makes her such an awesome character. Beacons puppy dog eyes makes my heart litter patter for him. You can tell that the feelings they have for each other are more than friendship. This story had such a huge curveball and had my head spinning. This out of nowhere thing elevated this story. Def a 5 star rating. I also love love love that we see a glimpse of the brothers
