Welcome Back, Booklovers! We return to Peachtree Cove for a third time in Frenemies with Benefits this time following Tracey and Brian who we've seen glimpses of in the other books. I received a copy for review from Harlequin Audio so keep reading for my thoughts.
Tracey's family has always been a subject of her small town's gossip thanks to her mom and dad's back and forth relationship antics. But this past year the focus has been on her divorce from her husband after he cheated and got one of her employees pregnant. Now Tracey is putting more focus on the bed and breakfast she runs and making some much needed changes in her personal life. After changing her hair and clothes, she's ready to tackle her love life. Her pleasure wasn't the priority in her marriage but she's ready to finally get hers.
Brian has been divorced for awhile but that doesn't stop his ex wife from lurking and hoping to rekindle things. But Brian is trying to move on and he has his sights set on Tracey. Despite his mother's warnings he can't help but get involved and proposes a friends with benefits situationship to Tracey.
This book does a great job exploring Tracey's sexuality as a newly divorced woman, having the sometimes uncomfortable conversations about not being secure in her own skin and not knowing what she likes and dislikes in the bedroom. Brian is a healthy communicator and shows Tracey what a open and honest relationship should look like.
While it can be read as a standalone I liked that there were elements from the other books present here. The time capsule that the women buried when they were younger was brought back up again in this book and we got to see them open it. The series does a great job showcasing the closeness of these friends and how they support each other through their relationship ups and downs.
