Series: Searching For # 3
The highly
anticipated third novel in the Searching For series from Jennifer Probst, one
of the most exciting breakout novelists (USA TODAY),
featuring a runaway bride and the man who wants to be more than just her best
friend.
Genevieve MacKenzie has her life completely under control. About to wed the charming Chief doctor at the local hospital, she’s an up-and-coming surgeon with everything she could ever want. Until an escape through the church window on the day of her wedding sends her life into a tailspin, and flings her right into her best friend’s arms.
When Wolfe catches his best friend falling out a window on her wedding day, he doesn’t ask questions. He whisks her away, determined to watch over her and discover the truth behind her desperate escape. But when his feelings turn more than platonic, he realizes he may risk his most important relationship in order to protect his damaged heart, and the woman he loves.
Can Genevieve and Wolfe’s friendship turn into something deeper or is it already too late for true love?

Wolfe hit the speaker system and Gun N’ Roses
blasted out, hard and loud and raw. He didn’t speak. Just drove.
Wolfe would take care of things. She’d retreat,
make some decisions, and clean up the mess she made. But not now.
What he offered was enough. No expectations,
only acceptance, respect, and love.
I love a good friends and lovers story! The story
starts with Genevieve Mackenzie who we quickly find out is a runaway bride! Gen
seems to have the perfect life; she is engaged to her successful, handsome
boss, David, and should be more than happy with her about to fairytale ending…but
she is not all that happy as she soon realizes. Gen quickly finds comfort in
the hands of her long time best friend, Wolfe. Their relationship has always
been platonic, but are things suddenly changing for them? Gen and Wolfe are
both carrying some excess baggage from their past relationships. Probst does a
nice job of making this an exceedingly happy tale, while still adding in some
of the angst, regret, and heavy emotion that they are both carrying around. As
you read, you will feel pain and you will feel happy. You will feel everything the
characters feel; that is just how endearing they are.
I loved that the relationship did not just
happen overnight. These two really had to battle with their feelings and deal
with plenty of mixed emotions before they were ready to commit to the idea of a
deeper relationship with one another. This made the story seem much more real.
Wolfe’s character faces a more emotional and troubling past and it was hard to
not want to strangle him at times, but I will say that if you like to read
books where you can clearly see the characters grow and change, then this would
be a great book for you. Gen and Wolfe learn to be together, but they also
learn how to be better together. This book had such a gratifying finish!
