The Ghosts of Crushes Past by Isla Olsen



Amazon Link   - Available in KU  





Evan

All I want for Christmas is my best friend, Tyler. And so, it seems, does everyone else...

I have an awesome, not at all cheesy mistletoe-related plan to make my Christmas wish come true, but before I can put it into action I’m thwarted by the arrival of not one, not two, but three of Ty’s drop-dead gorgeous former crushes. It seems they’ve all conspired to spend their holiday break at my family’s Aspen resort...and they’ve all got eyes for Tyler—I’m sure of it.

Now I need to come up with a new plan. A plan that involves showing Tyler that I’m the guy for him, that what we have could be so much more than friendship...

And if I happen to break a limb or burn my house down in the process? Well, as they say...love hurts.

My Rating - 3.5 Stars!

The Ghosts of Crushes Past is a sweet friends to lovers romance by Isla Olsen.

My favorite part of this story is Tyler's developing feelings. I adore that he had no clue he was in love with Evan. His discovery of his feelings is fun and entertaining. Oh, and hot too!

As for Evan, it's sweet seeing him get his wish. He has plans for making his move on Tyler, but he also has his doubts. He spends a lot of time assuming everyone else wants Tyler and that Tyler will want them. Until...

I always love the author's writing style, but I definitely struggled with the beginning. It took me a bit to get fully invested in the story. But, once I did...

Overall, it's cute and funny. There's not much going on since it's a short tale. But there's just enough to keep things moving. And, as much as I read a lot of tales with one night stands, and men quickly falling into bed, I didn't like the way the two instantly jumped into bed. I needed more talk first. 

The Ghosts of Crushes Past is a good little friends to lovers romance. Isla Olsen will leave you smiling with these friends admitting their feelings to each other.
