📖 I received a gifted e-book ARC. The following is my honest review✍🏻

The Whole Time is the 4th in The D’Angelos series. It features Salena, a long time friend of the family, and Ryan, the brother of Emma (from the third book) 

It’s a dual POV story that shows Ryan and Salena trying to navigate from friends with benefits to attempting a real relationship. The road is a little rocky with some secrets that might ruin everything but it’s worth the read!

Salena Barone has broken free of her family and moved into an apartment above the D’Angelos' restaurant, where she works as a manager—without a husband, thank you very much. But even on a restaurant salary, she soon finds herself strapped for cash. Salena’s never been afraid of living on the wild side, though, so she takes on a side hustle that’ll raise big bucks…and eyebrows, if anyone finds out.

Tattooed biker Ryan is the youngest of the wealthy Rutledge wine family and has never dreamed of rings, forever, or continuing the family business. He’s perfectly happy living his own life and helping out hardworking folks in his own way.

When these two independent singles spot each other at a Rutledge-D’Angelo wedding, the attraction is instant. But as their friendship with benefits evolves into something more, the secrets Salena’s keeping—from family, friends, and Ryan—threaten the happily ever after she never knew she wanted.
