My review:
Book 4 in the Getting Shipped series ~ I suppose fine as a standalone, but I haven’t been disappointed yet so why not read them all since the characters do interconnect somewhat.
Featuring ~ dual 1st person POV, best friends sister, brothers best friend, off limits, forbidden, friends to lovers, secret relationship, small town, no steamage
Shannon & Duke have been secret crushing on each other for years, but neither thought they could take a chance on each other. Shannon has a sad family story which is why her and brother, Chris, are so close and he’s very protective of her.
There’s a nice small town feel with a great cast of side characters. I don’t have any siblings, so I’ll never really fully understand the whole off limits/forbiddenness, but I can see why they wanted to wait to tell Chris until after he came home from his deployment.
They were very cute together. I loved Duke’s dream and how he went after it. The epilogue was a nice wrap up of what they accomplished.
Aidan & Mallory are still my favorite, but I enjoyed this installment in the series and look forward to the next one that will follow Jayme, Shannon’s roommate.
Narration:
Amy McFadden & Will Damron ~ 11 hours 53 minutes ~ they have narrated the whole series and do a fine job.

Book blurb:
I am finally over my crush on Duke. Completely done.
Dukeās always been like a big brother to me ā¦ a big brother with abs of steel, a heart of gold, and those dimples that make my heart rate double whenever he smiles.
As far as Duke’s concerned, Iāll always be his best friend Chrisā little sisterāthe little girl who dunked his Darth Vader action figure in Elmers glue and glitter.
Even if Duke noticed me, it wouldnāt matter. Iām so off limits, I may as well be wearing an outfit made entirely of caution tape. We both know Chris would enlist a special ops tactical team to hunt Duke down if he ever pursued anything beyond friendship with me.
Good thing Iām over Duke. One hundred percent attraction-free, thatās me. Well, mostly ā¦ until I accidentally send him one of my usual scrambled texts (thank you, autocorrect) ā¦ and he thinks Iām hitting on him.
Iām mortified enough to momentarily consider relocating someplace obscure like Greenland. I can never show my face around town again. Iāll buy a parka and an ice pick and learn to love fish. A lot.
But then Duke answers my text ā¦
Am I dreaming? Heās not mad. Heās not even making fun of me.
In fact, it seems like he might be flirting back
I guess I might not be completely over this crush after all.
Just donāt tell my brother.
