One night together could ruin everything…

Keane Colburn was my best friend. Ever since childhood, we could always count on each other to be there no matter what—though when I confessed my love to him, things didn’t turn out as planned.

Thankfully, my little crush didn’t ruin our friendship. I shoved those feelings to the back of my mind, watching him chase after other girls and silently wishing it was me. I resigned us to friendship—that was more important than anything else.

But a drunken one-night stand changed everything. Because even though we vowed to forget about it, I couldn’t get it out of my head. And as old memories began to rise to the surface, our lives collided in ways we had never imagined.

Review

4 “Pinky promise” stars!

Navy and Keane have been best of friends for years but it’s never evolved into more. Even though Navy’s had a crush on Keane, she pushed her feelings down ever since being let down gently back in ninth grade. She’s tried not to think about it but one night out and a little, OK a lot of, alcohol leads to an passionate night where lines are crossed and relationships change forever.

One Big Mistake delivers an entertaining friends-to-lovers romance that reminds me why I love this trope so much. A strong friendship provides a fantastic foundation for what can develop into a beautiful love story and Navy and Keane share that kind of connection. They have such a great, fun, easy going friendship. It’s natural and believable. The banter is fantastic and fresh, and it’s light hearted and entertaining. They just get each other know each other better than anyone else. They have been there for each other through the ups and downs and they don’t want to risk their friendship. Yet, I felt their attraction even when they deny it and it was no surprise that they end up sharing an unforgettable night together.

Afraid to ruin what they have, Navy and Keane try to forget that night but it changes everything. The emotion is real and the confusion is believable. Fighting the feelings that consume them makes it hard to ignore the connection they have, and how perfect they could be together.

Somehow, we kissed like it was natural, like this was something we’d done together for years instead of something I’d only dreamed about.

However, both Navy and Keane have a lot on their shoulders and when you add everything else that is going on it their lives, they find themselves pulled even further apart. The majority of the book takes place between the one-night stand and when they finally make their move so you don’t get a lot of time where they are actually together together; however, the journey to love is beautiful, swoony, and realistic, and I loved experiencing their love story play out.

It was some full circle kind of thing, like finding a piece to a puzzle you’d known your whole life, a puzzle piece you didn’t know you were missing. 

Overall, One Big Mistake is a wonderfully entertaining friends-to-lovers romance and a must read for lovers of the trope!
