From USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Yarros comes a brand-new small town, older-brother’s best friend standalone romance.

“I’ll take them!”

That’s what I tell the social worker when my pre-k student and his baby brother need an emergency foster placement. I’ll do anything to keep the brothers from being split up. But my apartment’s flooded and there’s only one house I can take them to on such short notice…his.

Knox Daniels, my older brother’s best friend, offers his new place without hesitation. He’s not moving back to our tiny town until next month—that’s when all our hotshot firefighters are returning for their one and only chance to rebuild our fathers’ fallen, iconic crew.

It doesn’t matter that I’ve been silently in love with Knox since we were kids.
It can’t matter that we pretend that reckless prom night kiss never happened.
It won’t matter that my feelings for him could destroy his lifelong friendship with my brother and threaten the certification of their hotshot crew.
Because I’ll be out of his house long before he gets back.

Except Knox just walked in…a month early.
And the icing on this awkward cake?
He’s gorgeous as always and I’m covered in baby puke.
He takes one look at the boys and tells me we can make this work—
We can temporarily fake a relationship to keep them from being separated by the system.

Suddenly, everything matters.

Reason to Believe by Rebecca Yarros will grab you from the opening line and make you wish the world would stop so you could read all day!

Witnessing Harper and Knox find their way to each other in this standalone beautiful written story had me so vested I would swear these are real people

Knox great up with Harper as he is her older brother Ryker’s best friend; Ryker’s hesitation about the relationship added another layer to this story and allows the reader an inside look at how relationships affect everyone around them.

But by far the characters who steal the show are the two little boys Harper and Know fall in love with James and Liam.

The author makes it very clear as the story develops that the love and connection Harper and Knoxville have is not tied to the boys… nope not telling read this powerful story!

Harper and Knox’s happiness is so very perfect for them and the epilogue made my heart so VERY happy! 

Yarros’ ability to get the reader to feel is a testament to her talent! She has become a must-read author for me as I adore her storytelling, creativity, and depth!
