Backup Plan by New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author, Emily Goodwin is now live!
When we were only kids, Sam Harris and I made a promise we'd marry each other if we were still single when we turned thirty. Well, my thirtieth birthday has come and gone and I'm still as single as ever.
And as far as I know, so is Sam.
But it's been ages since we've seen each other, and after what he did to me our senior year of college, I wouldn't put his ring on my finger even if he begged me to marry him. Never mind his devilish good looks. Or the fact that the playboy partier is a doctor now.
Nope, I'm sticking to my guns with this, and when I go back to my hometown of Silver Ridge for the first time in years, I won't pay him the slightest bit of attention. Well...until he convinces me to go out for drinks to catch up. I knew it was a bad idea the moment I agreed to it.
And then he brings up our childhood promise.
It might be fun and games to him, but it's not to me. Because as much a I don't want to admit it, Sam has always been my first choice. And I don't want to be nothing more than his backup plan.

Chloe and Sam were unlikely friends growing up. Sam was the popular one that went through girlfriends like they were going out of style. Chloe went to the beat of her own drum and was picked on for it. They made a pact to marry if they were both single when they turned thirty but Sam committed the ultimate betrayal that devastated Chloe and ruined their friendship.
Fast forward to being adults, Chloe's quirks have made her very successful. Now, she's back home for a break and runs into Sam and his family.
This one was just okay for me. While I liked the plot, I felt that when the betrayal was revealed, it fell flat. I needed to feel more emotions from the both of them when they reflected on it. If it caused a rift between them, I just felt like I needed more than he did this, I felt this and now this is where I stand. Let me FEEL the betrayal.
There are also things that I felt should have been addressed between the two of them that weren't.
When they finally get over themselves and take the plunge, it gets much better - and hotter.
What I didn't realize however was this would be a cliffhanger. After they get over themselves, something else is about to get in their way.
