And now, for what I *think* is my favorite book in the series so far (I think). Book four is all about oldest brother and second child Axel, who is the most reserved out if anyone in his family and intentionally lives on their Washington property miles from anyone else (or did until Ryder and Willa moved to a near-ish by city). In this story, Willa's best friend Rooney goes up to the Bergman's A-frame cabin in the woods for a break after she has to temporarily withdraw from law school after a huge flare up of her inflammatory bowel disease. Willa and Ryder said she'd be alone but she soon realized that it's Axel's turn at the A-frame and just like she's kept her chronic illness a secret from everyone (even Willa), he has kept the fact that the A-frame is falling apart and he is trying to get serious repairs done from his family. He's looking for a way to get an inheritance from an uncle he didn't know well but the stipulation is that he has to get married. Rooney, nursing a massive crush on Axel, agrees to marry him so he can get the money and she can continue staying on the property in his cabin. I loved this one! He has feelings for her but doesn't know what to do with them because his autism (also a secret) doesn't let him express feelings as easily as others, and she has feelings for him but doesn't think the future she's always wanted for herself will happen because of her IBD. As someone with IBS, I appreciated the handling of the topic. Plus, I just loved their interactions and the fact that they sort of rescue a dog and a cat.
