Winning my Best Friend's Girl
Imagine lying in a hospital bed and the doctor who pulls the curtain back to treat you is the one who got away. Even if you never really had her in the first place. She’s not only your high school crush, she’s the ex-girlfriend of your ex-best friend. The one girl you’ve always wanted.
Here’s a step-by-step list to finally win her over…
Key to win #1: Try not to take offense that she snuck back into town without telling you—six months ago.
Key to win #2: Rekindle the friendship to ease the awkwardness. But… DO NOT enter the friend zone.
Key to win #3: Ignore the fact that she went speed dating the night before. Take it as good a sign—maybe she’s looking for a relationship.
Key to win #4: Attempt to keep the two of you out of the town gossip blog and away from your large family.
Make sure you don’t let this last one throw you off your mission.
Key to win #5: Don’t get deterred when you find out the past is about to repeat itself. Because the man she met at the speed dating night is your best buddy from work.
Just remember, you sat back and let her slip away once, you won’t do it a second time. Failure is not an option.

Another great story about the Bailey family. This is Stella and Kingston’s story . Stella came to Alaska when she was in grade school and Kingston has been in love with her ever since , the problem was his best friend beat him to her . The whole situation between the three was horrific and caused so much heartache . Stella leaves Lake Starlight but returned when her mother became ill, she has been going to school to become a Doctor. A must read and hopefully you have been following the series and all the HEA that has happened to the Bailey family .

Stella and Kingston really had a rough road. Love the way this one played out.

I just could’ve get into it. Both Stella and Kingston come off as annoying and immature. They lack chemistry and, not to give things away, but the two major roadblocks in their relationship are lame. I love the idea of a biracial couple, but the story needed more work.

Gahhhhh!! Another stellar story from the minds of Piper and Rayne! I absolutely love the world they have created with Lake Starlight and the Bailey family! Kingston and Stella! Their story has intrigued me since Piper Rayne started dropping hints about them in the previous books in the series. The roadblocks that both Kingston and Stella had in front of them and how they were able to break down the barriers between them were spectacular. The history between King and Stella was rich and moving. It made my heart melt and swoon. Reading about them seeing each other again was so inspiring and I couldn't put this book down till the very end! I admired the fact that King and Stella were an interracial couple. Love knows no color or creed, the heart wants what it wants and two souls shouldn't be separated because of it! This story is doesn't focus on race, it focuses on love and being with your soul mate. As always, there are surprises aplenty and I was gasping when I read them! I am hoping with Sedona's story next, we will find out who is behind the Buzzwheel!!

Piper Rayne is one of my go to authors for a fun contemporary romance. This is the eighth in the Bailey series, each book highlighting a different romance trope for each of the nine siblings. Kingston Bailey is the only sibling that doesn’t live full time in Lake Starlight. He works as a paramedic in Anchorage and as a smoke jumper during fire season. What we know about Kingston’s love life is that he fell in love with Stella who dated his former BFF from high school. Stella has finished medical school and is now doing her residency in Anchorage to be closer to her sick mother. History seems to be repeating itself as Stella is dating Kingston’s new BFF and partner at the firehouse. Will Stella and Kingston be able to get past their history to get their HEA. Loved both characters and catching up with the whole Bailey clan. The epilogue has a freaking awesome cliffhanger that will have you clamoring for the next book. I received an ARC of this book from the author for my honest review.
