NEW RELEASE
Carson Roberts is Western University’s most sought after tight end. He’s the total package. A pretty face to go along with all those sculpted muscles—check. An Academic All-American—double check. A guaranteed one-way ticket to the NFL after graduation—triple check.
Did I also happen to mention that he’s my brother’s best friend, which means I grew up with the guy and have crushed on him for nearly just as long?
We’re talking a decade of unrequited yearning. Don’t worry, I’m slowly coming to terms with the fact that he’ll never see me as anything more than the little sis he never had.
Sort of.
And even if he did just so happen to notice that I’ve filled out and no longer wear braces, Brayden would have a major conniption. When it comes to the male species, he’s ridiculously overprotective. Any guy who has so much as given me a bit of side-eye has been treated to a swift and memorable beat down.
Which is precisely why I’m still in possession of my V-card.
Want to know how to make being a nineteen-year-old virgin with a major crush on her brother’s best friend even more pathetic?
Blurt out at a frat party that you’ve spent all these years saving yourself for him. Sadly, I can’t even blame it on the alcohol because I don’t drink.
If you’re thinking it can’t possibly get more humiliating than that, you’d be wrong.
Oh. So. Wrong.
*This is a mature New Adult novel with strong language and sexual situations intended for readers over the age of 18*
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟
"Being anywhere near Elle is dangerous. Every day, my self-control slips a notch, becoming more of a paper-thin veneer."
Carson Roberts and Elle Kendricks have known each other since childhood. Elle's brother, Brayden, is his best friend but he's pretty tight with Elle, too. He's always looked out for her and that hasn't changed as they've grown older and now at the same college. Unbeknownst to the other, they've both held a mutual crush for years. Carson has tried his damnedest to keep to his side of the friendship line, but a moment of weakness has them crossing the line and Elle blurting out her deepest feelings. When that knowledge is out in the open between them, Carson has to decide if he is willing to jeopardise his friendship with Brayden for a chance at forever with Elle.
"Even when I didn't think there was a chance in hell you would ever belong to me, it was you. In my thoughts and dreams, it was you."
This story was filled with tension and sparks between Carson and Elle. Once they'd crossed the line, I loved how Carson fought hard to keep to his good intentions, but Elle made it pretty hard. He comes across as a good, steady guy but when Elle well-being is threatened, I loved his show of protective instincts, as well as his possessiveness. When they were found out, I loved that he stood by Elle. However, I felt that they both could have fought harder with Brayden because Elle is a grown woman, and Carson was obviously a fabulous friend and more than good enough for her.
