Review: Never Lasting by Angela Bourassa


Blurb from Goodreads:
A scorching-hot romance about what happens when you break a golden rule: Don’t get hooked on your hookup.

When Lucy, a recent NYU law grad with plans to work abroad, and James, a caterer who dreams of opening a small-town restaurant, indulge in a summer fling, they know there’s an expiration date: They’ll be moving to opposite sides of the planet in six weeks. But is their fantasy sexcapade screwed when real feelings get in the way? Or do they let whatever is blossoming between them trump their career ambitions?
 
I liked this from the first page.  Fairly low drama, and the ending was perfect.  Lucy and James were great together and the story unfolded organically.  Will look for more from this author!  If you still haven't picked up an 831 Stories novel, what are you waiting for?!?!?

Never Lasting comes out next week on September 22, 2026 and you can purchase HERE.  
I spot Lucy the moment she walks in. Honestly, I've had one eye on the door the entire time I've been here. Rebecca graciously warned me Lucy was bringing someone, but I am not being nearly as cool about it as I promised myself I would be.
Of course she showed up with a goddamn Adonis. Probably from her law school. That place must be crawling with sinewy trust fund bros dying for the chance to take her out.
I shake my head, annoyed at myself for being so bitter. Lucy is free to do what she wants, same as me. She doesn't catch me staring, and I'm able to turn away and put on a good show of being nonchalant. Now if I can just convince myself to actually be nonchalant, and maybe take some more interest in my own date.

I love this trope, sub-genre, setting: My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend

I Love This Trope, Sub-Genre, Setting is a new feature on my blog in which I discuss a trope, sub-genre or setting that I love and tell you about books that are shining examples of said trope, sub-genre or setting.  Feel free to play along and please let me know about your favorite books in this realm and whether you like this trope, sub-genre and/or setting as much as I do! Today I am spotlighting the trope of:  My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend , which I would define as any book where the heroine either has a crush on or falls for her brother's best friend or her best friend's brother. I have to confess that I love this trope in nearly all of its iterations!  I have a younger brother so I never got to crush on any of his friends but it's fun reading about that and it's equally as fun as reading about falling for your best friend's brother -- instant sisters!  I know there are a ton...
