BLURB
She is the one woman who is always off limits…
College rocker and infamous
playboy, John Kingston, has screwed his way through most of the women on
campus. But there’s one woman he will never touch: his best friend and band
mate, Nicki. For four years, he’s been her protector and her confidant.
When arrogant frat guy, Axel,
attempts to make a claim on her, John suffers a painful wakeup call, quickly
realizing that his feelings for Nicki are not purely platonic. Recognizing that
Axel’s intentions are anything but innocent, John’s possessiveness spirals out
of control, sparking a dangerous feud.
Nicola Lewis can’t bear to be
touched. Haunted by an awful past that she has been unable to escape, she has
kept her distance from the opposite sex. And she’s been just fine living her
life that way: safe and uncomplicated with no chance of getting hurt again.
Until an unexpected kiss changes everything…
But John and Nicki must decide
whether the burgeoning desire between them is worth the risk. Is this a case of
love conquers all, or a huge mistake that could destroy everything?

REVIEW
I received a ARC from the author in exchange for a honest review.
4* read.
This is my first book by this author but will be reading more from her in the future. This was such an emotion filled book that was beautifully wrote and made you feel everything too. Nikki and John are best friends and band mates but recently it's felt like more only not wanting to ruin the strong friendship they have Nikki decides to instead go for campus cocky playboy Axel. I loved the friendship and chemistry between Nikki and John and i was rooting for them to get together. Questions is will this be a friends turned lover book or will she stay with Axel, you'll have to read to find out.

EXCERPT
As I lay back on the bed, propping the pillows up behind
me so that I’m half lying, half sitting, I suddenly feel insanely nervous.
Shit. I cross my legs, feeling uncomfortable not wearing any underwear beneath
the skimpy slip of a nightdress. I try to strike what I think is a sexy pose,
but everything feels so awkward. I’ve seen women do it in the movies—how do
they pull it off so easily?
I can’t do this.
I slide off the bed, intending to make my way into the
bathroom to grab my bathrobe when the door opens. Oh no! Too late!
“Got your
text. So, you’ve got me alone. So, what’s—oh shit!” John’s voice comes from the
door.
I cringe. Shit. “Hi,” I squeak over my shoulder.
He shuts the door behind him and chuckles. “Are you gonna
turn around or talk to me with your back to me all night?”
“I…uh…I
need my robe.”
“No,” he
says huskily.
I force myself to turn around. The moment I do, his eyes
dart to mine suddenly. I grin inwardly, knowing that they were staring at my
ass just a second earlier. I can see the coiled tension in his body, the stiff
set of his jaw and I know he’s struggling to keep his gaze on my eyes and not
elsewhere. If I was any other girl, he wouldn’t bother. It makes me feel bad,
like I’m teasing him or something.
“You can
look,” I tell him.
But he still doesn’t. In fact, he slaps his hand over his
eyes. “Shit, Nicki. I…uh…why are you wearing…that?”
“Can you
remove your hand and look at me?”
He shakes his head.
“Fine.” I
take a deep breath and perch on the edge of the bed. “Nothing happened after
our kiss the other day. No nightmares. Nothing.”
“Really?”
he asks, intrigued.
“Yeah.”
“And?” he
presses.
“I don’t
know if it was a mistake to you, or what. If you’ve been avoiding me, or
whether I’ve subconsciously been avoiding you or something. I wanted to clear
it up tonight.”
“There’s
something else,” he accuses.
Dammit, he knows me too well. “I…uh…will you…touch me?”
His hand falls away and his gaze snaps to mine. “What?”
I climb onto the bed and ease myself back against the
pillows, hoping I don’t actually look as awkward as I feel.
He shakes his head. “Nicki…”
“It was a mistake, wasn’t it?” I
ask, suddenly embarrassed as hell. I pull the covers up to shield myself. “Oh
crap,” I mumble. “Can you leave and give me a second to get dressed and then
we’ll talk this out?”
“No,” he
says. Before I know it, he’s climbing onto the other side of the bed. “That’s
not what I meant. I just wanted you to know that you don’t have to do this.”
“I want
to,” I say, pushing the covers aside.
This time, his eyes are all over me. “Nicki, once you give
me the green light, I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to stop.”
Oh my God. I swallow hard and
tell him, “I want you to touch me.”
