I feel like I should mention before I go any further I love Vi Keelands books. “Something Borrowed, Something You” however just didn’t hit as good as her other books do. I felt this one was a little lack luster which is disappointing because it definitely had the potential to be great.

“Something Borrowed, Something You” follows Hunter and Natalia. They meet at their best friends wedding and decide to start a friends with benefits fling. But both of them of have a complicated past that causes turmoil throughout their relationship.

I think my least favorite part about this book was Hunter. His lack of being adult and using his communication skills is infuriating. Especially when we have his polar opposite with Natalia who was very honest about her distrust in men thanks to her divorce and her complicated relationship with her step daughter. I honestly think Natalia could’ve done so much better but it is what it is.

Overall, the book was enjoyable. I still feel like the book was missing something to really push it over the edge. In the end, I had fun and would recommend it.

I’m completely in love with Hunter and Natalia! Their story was so beautiful and heartfelt. The way Hunter wrestled with his emotions for so long added so much depth to their journey. Seeing them finally get their happily ever after was everything—they both truly earned it! 💜💙

I’m still wrapped in the glow of the ending, ready to give this a five star review. Read it. Have tissue ready along with an empty evening because you are not going to want to set this aside for any reason. Vi Keeland, I didn’t know you were going to make me smile AND cry!

This book has all the emotions. I was INVESTED. He was kind of a jerk at first, but a sexy one. We’ve all been through that. But there was something about his persistence that made me ready to give him a chance, even if she wasn’t ready.

Something Borrowed, Something You is a standalone title written by Vi Keeland.

Expected publication date for paperback is March 18, 2025.

*Instalust feelings
*Stubborn FMC
*Hereditary illness storyline

Natalia and Hunter meet when their best friends are getting married. Hunter overhears Natalia saying that she wants a hookup and thinks he is the perfect man for the job. Natalia thinks Hunter is very attractive but has been hurt in the past and is not willing to let go of her past trauma.

It took a long time for Natalia to give Hunter a chance, I found her character very annoying for the first half of the book. The last quarter of the story finally made me like the FMC and appreciate why she acted so stubborn.

Alternating timeline that features Hunter and his brother. Very sad to read, but I enjoyed it so much. Made me love the MMC so much!

Some OM drama in the form of her ex husband, one tiny instance of OW drama but no cheating. Slight third act separation that was quickly resolved, guaranteed HEA.

She does it again! What a wonderful romance! I’m really into mystery novels right now and a bit tired of romance books but when I see that Vi Keeland has a book out well I have to one click it! And this book did not disappoint! The storyline was very interesting! The romance was just right and of course it was hot hot hot!! The characters were amazing and it dug into some deep subjects! I highly recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Thank you NetGalley, Vi Keeland and the publisher for sharing this book with me! Can’t wait for more!

I'm very familiar with the name Vi Keeland, but apparently this is my first read. I guess I've just been floating in the right space, but just haven't picked up a book. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I enjoyed the depth of the characters and didn't find the withholding communication frustrating (as it is typically not my favorite). This was just the book I needed to motivate me to pick up the next one.
