Book: I Think He Knows

Author: Katie Bailey

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Select for an advanced audio copy. 

I was a big fan of the first book in the Donovan Family series “So That Happened” and was thrilled to see a second book. So That Happened was one of those books that I finished and immediately purchased for my wife. I Think He Knows will be the same thing! It’s already purchased. 

This is a story of friends to lovers which is a trope that I find myself getting tired of but in this book it was actually refreshing. This was not a typical friends to lovers. Lana Mae met Carter on one of the worst nights of her life and Carter was there for her as a friend. 

Through the years they stayed friends. Carter is now a famous actor but he needs to rebuild his image after an altercation at a bar. This leads to him and Lana being fake engaged. Over the years they both have had feelings for each other but never acted on them. They both didn’t act because they were being too selfless. They were afraid of holding the other back. Their actions and their chemistry was fantastically written. 

I loved it when the whole Donovan family (minus their dad) were around. Their family group chat is something every family should want. The characters in the family were already established in the first book and this entry elevated them and made them even better. Since I read the first book, I loved Liam and Annie so I wanted more of them in this book. However, their absence in the story made their presence even better when they were there. 

I don’t know who we can follow for book three but I just I am hoping for a book three.

Final Score: 5/5
