I only saw him as my best friend’s little brother . . . until I married him.

Getting pregnant before the wedding wasn’t my plan, but surprise! Then my fiancé (correction, ex-fiancé) tells me to take care of the problem. And that’s how he becomes my ex.

But being a single mom in this small town won’t be easy. Maybe not even possible. I’m a large animal vet. It’s not like I can take my baby to work with me.

Then my best friend’s younger brother drops to one knee and proposes so that I won’t be a single mom.

After days of pondering, I accept Parker’s impulsive proposal.

Romance has never been part of our relationship, but he treats me better than anyone I’ve ever dated. He’s caring, protective, and more than a little good looking. Way more than I deserve.

But I really didn’t think about the day-to-day of married life. Or what it would be like to see him without a shirt all the time. He’s no longer the scrawny kid who liked to tag along. He’s a full-grown cowboy and quickly becoming my best friend. (Well, my other best friend)

Just when I think maybe a happily-ever-after is possible, everything falls apart.

Now that there's nothing to save me from, I have to let him go. But walking away from my knight in shining armor will absolutely shatter my heart.

More Than a Silly Crush is a sweet, closed-door romantic comedy about a marriage of convenience, a best friend's little brother who's been waiting his whole life, and the moment she finally sees what was right in front of her all along. Book four in the Cowboys of Stargazer Springs series.

Content Note: This book contains pregnancy loss. It is handled with care and sensitivity.

One of my favorites...

One of my favorites in this series, and Parker is one of my favorite characters. I have lost a lot of sleep reading this series because I just can't put them down.

I loved the friendships portrayed...

Reader's Notes:

- this is part of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone

- this is told from Bluebonnet & Parker's points of view

- a character has a miscarriage

- there is a scene where it is mentioned that parts of a shower curtain (which is wrapped around one of the characters) are clear/see through; only talks about seeing the person's curves through the clear area

Review:

I've only read three of Remi's books so far, but this is by far my favorite! I had to hold back tears (happy, sad, and everywhere in between) from start to finish between Parker's unrequited crush and their complete happily ever after. I loved that Parker fell first and had in little ways over the years they'd known each other shown Bluebonnet that he cared about her. I loved that almost everyone but Bluebonnet knew about his crush beforehand. I loved the friendships portrayed in this story (and I'm so excited for Dag & Goldie's happily ever after coming soon!). I loved that Bluebonnet was accepted into the group easily and loved just as fiercely by all like Parker was. I loved that they showed up for each other and helped without needing a reason. Some of my favorite moments/scenes in this story include: a squirrel, a wedding, a honeymoon, time with the parents, giving up coffee, and dancing.

Summary:

Bluebonnet is excited for the little bundle of joy she's been gifted with, even if it happened before the wedding. But her fiance is nowhere near excited about this development. He gives Bluebonnet an ultimatum to get rid of her developing baby or they're through. Needless to say, Bluebonnet's fiance just became her ex. But there are some new issues Bluebonnet has to navigate based on her decision. With living in such a small, conservative town, Bluebonnet worries that her career aspirations might be nonexistent once people discover her current state. But more than that, Bluebonnet doesn't want to be alone raising her child. She wants her child to have a father they can look up to, j
