I can already see the headlines: “Alexander Westbrook Buries Sorrows In Charity Work.” No thanks. I don’t want to be another one of those Hollywood actors, all PR and no heart. For me, giving back is the best part of fame, and to use my trip to the group home to get good press would taint that. Besides, my sister’s been bugging me nonstop to find something–or someone–to distract me from the failed engagement to my former co-star. Enter Summer Bennett, volunteer at St Anne’s and certified believer in happy endings. Spending time with her out of the spotlight is a sweet relief from my typical tabloid-ready life back in Los Angeles. The idea of spending the next two weeks with her is too good to turn down. Her entire body responds to a simple smile from me, and mine is helpless to resist her either. I can’t risk my career for a girl. My studio contract doesn’t allow it anyways. But I can’t keep my hands to myself. Our secret kisses and whispered conversations have sparked a fire we’re powerless to extinguish. How can I possibly turn our two weeks into something endless?

Summer Bennett is a romantic, she's helped many of her siblings find the one, but doesn't hold out hopes for herself after many failed attempts. She's content to lather her family with love and affection and spread the love where she can, including a group home where love is lacking. Enter Alex Westbrook he's a Hollywood heartthrob wanting to give back, he's nothing like Summer imagined and everything she could want, and Alex thinks the same of Summer, if only he hadn't signed a contract forbidding a relationship between them, or with anyone. Can they overcome the hurdles they face? Can love truly conquer all?
In the summer of 2017, I was introduced to Layla Hagen and her Bennett Family Series in a takeover Layla did in Brenna Aubrey's reader group on Facebook, and I am so grateful because this series has become one of my very favourites. Each book is different and stands by itself but is connected to the overall series. They're each beautiful, charming, funny and sexy. Every time I read (or listened) to a new one it felt like a visit from a friend, or better yet... family. I felt like I was made a part of their family, an honorary adopted Bennett if you will. Which makes this review extremely bittersweet for me, I wanted to read it so bad but at the same time I wanted to make it last, I knew Summer's book was going to be the last in the Bennett Family series, but still, I hoped I wouldn't have to say goodbye to them.
Layla's writing is captivating and even though I've just finished I want to reread/ listen to them all again. And you know what? Once the final couple of books are out on Audio that's exactly what I'm going to do, have a listen from the start and spend more time with one of my favourite fictional families. In fact, I might even try to rope Marta over at Mammie Babbie into doing a buddy read with me - well, she can read, and I'll listen. It's how our buddy reads usually go. This was the perfect way to finish the Bennett Family series. It was everything I hoped it would be and so much more. It was sweet and beautiful. Light-hearted. light on the drama - a little misunderstanding that was sorted almost straight away. It was just beautiful.
Alex, swoon, let's just talk about him for a quick minute. He is all the things. If you're looking for a book boyfriend that will treat you like a queen and sweep you off your feet you need not look any further, Alex Westbrook is your guy. He's sexy, man, is he sexy. He has that Hollywood charm down to an art, but he isn't arrogant with it. He made a decision at the start of his career that wasn't the best and now he has to fight and risk losing everything to keep the woman he loves... and he will because that's what heroes do. I adore Summer Bennett, she's always been one of my favourites throughout the series and I was so excited for her to get her own happily ever after. She is such a sweetheart and knows how to handle herself. I don't think Summer is ever happy unless she is helping someone. It was so lovely to see someone in her corner and taking care of her for a change. I don't think the steam level was as high as previous books, but it worked for these characters, everything about them was sweet and thought-out. Gentle and respectful. Their relationship and its progression were simply beautiful.
