THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE * LORI FOSTER
Compared to her smart, responsible twin, Laylee has always been labeled the party girl sister. Now she’s really screwed up by finding herself possibly accidentally pregnant, and definitely not in love. With her sister away on her honeymoon, Laylee’s only confidant is her guy friend, Knox. There’s mutual attraction there, yet they’ve been tiptoeing around it. But telling Knox everything may change . . . well, everything. Especially amid a comedy of pregnancy test errors, a robbery, a cat rescue mission—and the realization that Knox sees her as so much more than a pretty face . . . .
I'll admit that I read this only for "That Special Someone" by Lori Foster. I won't be reviewing the other story because I only skimmed it and I don't feel like I can give it a full review. That special Someone is kind of a continuation of a last year's story "The Odd Couple" from The Two of Us. Laylee is Skye's sister and is watching Skye and Ford's dogs while they are on their honeymoon. Knox gets a frantic call that Laylee might be pregnant. Clearly in the friend zone, he vows to help her through no matter what.
I thought this was a great follow up the The Odd Couple. Watching Knox and Laylee finally give into their attraction was so fun to watch. Laylee had a lot to work through and Knox was the best person to help her. There are a lot of hilarious scenes and shenanigans packed into this short story. We also get a visit from characters from other "Best Friends" series stories. They added a lot of fun to the story as well. I highly recommend this one.
