What happens when your best friend’s little brother isn’t so little anymore? In My Best Friend's Brother by Melina Druga, Hayley Hancock is about to find out. This romance kicks off when Hayley, a down-to-earth fitness instructor, reenters her old friend Cheyenne’s glamorous world for a wedding where she’s not sure she fits in. She never imagined Cheyenne’s former tagalong brother would turn into someone she can’t stop thinking about. With all the pressure of a high-end wedding around them, Hayley and Connor are forced to figure out who they really are and what they want, no matter what others expect. This slow-burning romance, together with the dual perspectives, adds to the tension and humor in this feel-good story. Hayley and Connor’s chemistry is real—but is it enough, or do they stop while they’re ahead?
Melina Druga writes with sharp dialogue and witty inner thoughts, particularly through Hayley’s voice, making her both entertaining and endearing in My Best Friend’s Brother. The over-the-top wedding is more than just a setting—it mirrors the pressure Hayley and Connor feel to fit into lives that might not be their own. Hayley’s sense of being an outsider in Cheyenne’s world hits home, just like Connor’s struggle with his family’s legacy makes him more than just the love interest. It’s perfect for anyone who wants a love story with depth, charm, and characters that feel like real people. My Best Friend’s Brother is an engaging, feel-good romance about timing, second chances, and finding love in the most unexpected place—right beside the one person you thought you’d never fall for.
