I will always be here for you. There isn’t a world that exists where I’m not gonna be around for you.
When the Time is Right, a funny, sweet and emotional standalone from USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez and M. Mabie is available now!
Fate doesn’t always happen overnight.
Hudson Bradley is the cockiest, most stubborn, hard-headed man I’ve ever known. And for fifteen years, he’s been my brother's best friend.
But lately, what I’m feeling for him isn’t friendship at all.
Why is my heart racing every time his blue eyes lock on mine?
Why does every word he rumbles in my ear make my body come alive?
And worst of all, why did I bet him that I could find a woman he and his son would both love?
If I hadn’t given up on love altogether, Hudson would have been perfect for me. After all, he was there the day my world fell apart. He’s spent the last six years piecing me back together.
There are a million reasons why we could never work, but after a single kiss, I can’t remember any of them.
Now that the time is right, I have to make him mine—before I lose him forever.

Christy's Review:
This was such a fantastic friends to lovers romance! Aly Martinez and M. Mabie are a dynamic duo. They write together so seamlessly, cohesively, and there is such a fantastic flow.
Alexis and Hudson meet when they're kids. Hudson is Lex's brother Cal's best friend, but he's also one of Lex's best friends. They're both in a long standing rut and neither have dated in forever so they decide to set each other up. Only as they start to date other people, they realize that though no sparks are flying on any of their dates, there are sparks between the two of them. Alexis is worried about messing up what they have but slowly and surely, Hudson wears her down.
“I need to find out if this, whatever’s been building between us, is something.”
“How you gonna do that?”
“We’re going to kiss,”
Lex and Hudson had the best banter. I loved their back and forth. I also loved that above all else they were friends first. No matter what was going on in their lives or their relationship, that stands true. This really was an epic friends to lovers and all readers that love that troupe should pick up this book!
I love when books have kids in them and I especially loved Hudson's son, Jack. Jack had such a great relationship with Hudson and Lex both. There was so much I loved about this story but there were things towards that I didn't love as much. There was conflict, it was resolved, then right away there was another conflict. I didn't see the need for both, but that's just me. I still enjoyed it lots. I just could have done without that.
This story was funny, sweet, emotional, and steamy. I enjoyed reading it so much. I truly hope Martinez and Mabie continue to write more books together because the two they've done have been fabulous!
