This was a fun, flirty, forbidden romance. If Paige's best friend, Allie, caught wind that Paige was sleeping with Allie's brother, there would be consequences. 
 Cannon needs a place to stay, and Paige has a spare room. As a favor to her best friend, she agrees to let Cannon crash for the 2 months until his residency begins. Paige hasn't seen Cannon since he was a nerdy high schooler, and with as busy as they both are, how hard will it be? 
 Cannon isn't the nerd he once was, but hasn't had the best luck with the ladies, hence his current homeless state. Bunking with his sister's best friend is a perfect solution, except for the crush he once had on her. 
 Cannon is confident and smooth. He has been a rock and provider for his family for so long, the responsibility is ingrained in him. He looks out for his sister and mom, and their happiness and security is his only thought. 
 Paige is quiet, preferring to stay in and watch Netflix than to go out and find a date. Allie pulls her along on escapades, but she is definitely more comfortable in her routine. 
 These two have chemistry from the moment they stand face to face for the first time in years. Living in a small house together only fans those flames, especially with the first few accidental encounters they have. 
 The plot was pretty smooth, as expected in a novella, but had enough drama and anticipation to keep the pages flowing. This was a fast read, and an engaging one as Cannon and Paige hide their relationship from Allie. Besides, Paige promised she would be the first woman to sleep with him and not fall in love. The next books in the series appear to be standalones with a similar fun feeling. If they are the same fast, flirty set-up they should make for more entertaining reads.
