STERLING FIGHT
L.B. Dunbar
Release Date: January 30
These former friends might be faking their engagement, but revealed crushes prove there might not be anything fictional about their arrangement.
In college, I often saw Judd Sylver in the library. He was a cool, broody type of guy who reminded me of a deeply tortured soul who might write poetry.
He was very different from the boy I met in third grade on National Make a New Friend Day when I passed him a note, asking if he wanted to be my new friend: Check yes or no.
(I’m a bit obsessed with calendar days.)
He was also vastly different from the young man who stood me up after I asked him to his prom.
Twenty years later, I can let bygones be bygones, especially when he rescues me from a bad date.
Then I witness him breaking up with his girlfriend which resulted in a sticky coffee drink on his chiseled cheeks and ice cubes on his fine-fitting jeans.
I offered him a napkin.
Hey, once a friend, always a friend, right? *insert sarcasm*
However, Judd takes us to the next level at my mother’s garden party, where a misunderstanding occurs with a teeny tiny slip of the tongue and a precious ring on my finger.
And suddenly, I’m Judd’s fiancée.
Fake or not, things are about to get a little too real with my old friend.

Another wonderful adventure in Sterling Falls with the Sylver family. This is Judd story and I have been patiently waiting for to learn more about him. Ms Dunbar did not disappoint at all. A second chance most would never thing possible. The history between Judd and Genie started when they were in early public school.
Both Judd and Genie are harboring long untold stories that have shaped their past. Parents who lost their partners and changed. Parents who took their pain out on their children, unfortunately. Thus causing them both to have skewed ideas on love and relationships. But something clicks easily between them. Could they find a their own kind of forever together?
I love how the author brings these characters to life. The witty fun between them, the depth of the serious and they way they are their for each other. The family involvement, even though Judd has always seemed to keep his distance.
The narrators did a wonderful job of bring Judd and Genie to life. Bring the emotions out in the story and making you feel like part of the journey.
