I loved how perfect Brigid and Grady are for each other. Both have a ton of family issues and while they have dealt with them very differently, it drove home for me how each was the other's home. This book was really light on the drama but there was an abundance of love throughout the story. I can't wait to see what's in store for the rest of the wedding party!! *This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy*

I truly enjoyed Something Borrowed by Megan Ryder, book two in The Lone Star Match series. This story is about second year lawyer Brigid Anderson and contractor Grady Coughlin. Brigid is under immense pressure from her parents to prove her success by making junior partner. All goes well until Grady changes the rules and wants more from her and their relationship. Brigid needs to decide where her priorities lay; having that special relationship with Grady, being available for friends, and having an actual life or fulfill the dreams set for her by her parents. Grady tries to understanding, but he wants more than an absent partner. This was an enjoyable book with likeable and authentic characters. I really enjoyed reading this book and had trouble putting this book down, reading it in one day. Ms. Ryder drew me in and did not let go until I read the last page. I highly recommend this book to other readers and I look forward to the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
