Lane is in the middle of an identity crisis. Her friends are all partnered up, her career is leading nowhere, and simply put? She's not happy. So after a night out celebrating (drinking) on her birthday she makes one hell of an impulsive purchase. A giant, yellow, forty-eight passenger school bus that she intends to make a home.
With little-to-no renovation experience but a large sum of inheritance money, Lane enlists the help of her friend Matt—a mechanic by trade, handyman by practice, and hottie by nature.
While their mutual attraction is undeniable, Matt and Lane have silently agreed that a friendship is the only thing that could ever exist between them. Matt's a total family guy with "settle down with me" tattooed across his forehead whereas Lane is entirely commitment-averse.
So, when Matt offers to help her with the bus and in the bedroom with no strings attached, Lane’s feelings evolve faster than you can say “just good friends.” But she soon discovers that in order to build something new, she has to first heal her past.

I enjoyed [b:Next of Kin 60708960 Next of Kin (A Foster Guardian's Romance) Hannah Bonam-Young https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1648828505l/60708960.SY75.jpg 95709338] and decided to continue the series, and I'm glad I did.This book follows Chloe and Warren's friends Lane and Matt and it is a sweet friends to lovers romance, with a lot of personal healing due to grief. I always feel books with nice guys deserve to be praised as I consistently see a preference for the alpha controling type on internet. Additional praise for the use of a DIU instead of birth control pill (I think it was the first time I've seen it happen) partially offset by deciding not to use a condom withou testing... I guess we cannot have everything. I hope [a:Hannah Bonam-Young 22325481 Hannah Bonam-Young https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1672621626p2/22325481.jpg] succeeds reaching her audience.Merged review:I enjoyed [b:Next of Kin 60708960 Next of Kin (A Foster Guardian's Romance) Hannah Bonam-Young https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1648828505l/60708960.SY75.jpg 95709338] and decided to continue the series, and I'm glad I did.This book follows Chloe and Warren's friends Lane and Matt and it is a sweet friends to lovers romance, with a lot of personal healing due to grief.
