Louisa wouldn’t say it was love at first sight when she met Fergus, but…okay, it was love at first sight. Her anxiety usually makes her painfully shy and awkward around men, but something about the hot Scot instantly put her at ease. As her thirty-fifth birthday approaches, Louisa knows it’s time to take control of her life and step outside her comfort zone. There’s a whole, wide world out there waiting for her, and Fergus wants to help her embrace it. The problem is, comfort zones are comfortable for a reason, and the thought of trying new things and maybe even letting love in is terrifying. Fergus had no intention of looking for love when he moved to Canada to work for his cousin. Still grieving the death of his mother, he puts his head down and focuses on work. It doesn’t take long for love to find him, though—unexpectedly, and in the form of a group of friends who become his chosen family. One of those friends is Louisa. Sweet, beautiful Louisa who has no idea what she does to Fergus with her shy smiles and freely-given hugs. When Fergus finds a half-finished bucket list Louisa and her three best friends came up with five years ago, he’s determined to help her complete the tasks before the deadline: December 31st, Louisa’s birthday. Fergus concocts a plan that will require Louisa’s full trust. He hopes that somewhere along the way, she’ll see what he’s seen all along: that she’s braver, more capable, and more incredible than she’s ever given herself credit for. He also hopes she’ll realize one other important thing: the two of them are meant to be together. Bucket Lists & Midnight Kisses is an opposites-attract, friends-to-lovers, found family romantic comedy set in the fictional town of Bellevue, Ontario, Canada. Full of banter, crackling chemistry, and plenty of swoons, this is a kissing-only romance with mild language. It's the fourth book in the Best Friends & Birthdays series, and can be read as a standalone.
