Description
One month. Two enemies. Someone else's bucket list.
Stella Hart, an American advertising executive living in London, is reeling from the death of her beloved aunt. But Stella learns her aunt included a stipulation in the will: a bucket list Stella must complete within a month, or the estate—meant for her and her sisters—goes to charity. The entire list is unreasonable, especially the final item, where she needs to Find the One that Got Away. The last thing she wants to do is face her ex.
Ethan Fraser is not Stella’s ex-boyfriend—that title belongs to his best friend, who got him through a traumatizing childhood. Ethan’s a grumpy, bearded, ex-professional rugby player who can’t bring himself to enter the flat of his late troubled mother. When they’re forced to collaborate on a work project, both find themselves remembering the night they kissed, days before she started dating his best friend. Ethan wants to hate her for choosing someone else, just like his mother always did, but he can’t fight his attraction to Stella. So when she needs an advisor for the list, he offers to help, and the time spent together re-ignites their chemistry. But Ethan’s fierce loyalty to his best friend stands between them.
With a looming deadline for their project and the bucket list, soon everything bringing Stella and Ethan together will disappear… unless Stella figures out what that final item—and the whole list—really means.

I started this book this afternoon and finished it this evening. I couldn’t put it down. I loved both Stella and Ethan. They were so different but yet alike. Both holding grudges and anger about something that started and ended up finishing. Then thrown back together again. Stella’s great aunt recently passed and let Stella a bucket list to do. Ethan volunteers go help her. They both have such strong feelings for each other but don’t want to admit it since Stella recently dated Ethan’s best friend Ben. But working closely together the two just can’t seem to deny their feelings for each other any longer.
Does Stella complete her bucket list? Do Stella and Ethan finally get a chance to love one other? Does Ben come in the way?
This is a sweet/spicy read that will sweep you up for a fun afternoon of reading.

Unless It's You by Chrissy Hopewell is the second book in The Hart Series. I haven't read the first in the series (yet!) and I don't think that it's necessary to enjoy this one, which I did!
Stella Hart is an American living in London and works at an ad agency. Ethan Fraser is a former professional rugby player and who is on a sabbatical from his job as a brand manager and is spending his time working for a youth charity. His charity is merging with another and to promote the merger and to hopefully get corporate sponsors, they are hooking up with an agency to make some commercials. Just their luck, Stella and Ethan are stuck working together. Have we mentioned they shared a kiss that was magical a year and a half ago and then Stella thought he was seeing someone, so she didn't follow up? She ended up dating his best friend and the whole time Ethan thought she just didn't like him?
There are lots of supposition by both of them, each thinking the other has feelings they don't, familial angst and a great aunt who leaves a bucket list that Stella has to complete in 28 days or lose it all to a cat charity make this a fun read. I spent a lazy afternoon reading the whole thing and it was delightful.
I'm going to check out the first and then anxiously await the hopeful third one!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in lieu of an honest review. All opinions are my own.

One of my very favorite arcs ever! Thank you so much NetGalley and publishing company. I am about to read the first sister’s book once I submit this review because I’m OBSESSED. I laughed out loud reading this book while other times I was trying to read through tears that blurred my vision. These characters were incredibly well written. I can’t wait to read more from Chrissy and for the third book to come out this fall. Amazing read!! Cannot recommend enough!
