a novel that’s perfect for fans of Abbi Glines and Jessica Sorensen, USA
Today bestselling author Lauren Layne delivers a sexy take on the timeless
question: Can a guy and a girl really be “just friends”?
When
Parker Blanton meets Ben Olsen during her freshman year of college, the
connection is immediate—and platonic. Six years later, they’re still best
friends, sharing an apartment in Portland’s trendy Northwest District as they
happily settle into adult life. But when Parker’s boyfriend dumps her out of
the blue, she starts to wonder about Ben’s no-strings-attached approach to
dating. The trouble is, even with Ben as her wingman, Parker can’t seem to get
the hang of casual sex—until she tries it with him.
The
arrangement works perfectly . . . at first. The sex is mind-blowing, and their
friendship remains as solid as ever, without any of the usual messy romantic
entanglements. But when Parker’s ex decides he wants her back, Ben is shocked
by a fierce stab of possessiveness. And when Ben starts seeing a girl from
work, Parker finds herself plagued by unfamiliar jealousy. With their
friendship on the rocks for the first time, Parker and Ben face an alarming
truth: Maybe they can’t go back. And maybe, deep down, they never want to.

My Review
I really do love a good friends to lovers story and this one was perfect!
Ben and Parker have been friends, no best friends for over six years. In that time they have never felt the need to get to know each other on a sexual level. They just click as best buds. To me this sets this story apart because usually in the beginning of these types of stories it is more of a unrequited love. But not in this case. They are genuinely best friends.
I really loved seeing them interact with each other! It was easy and hilarious. I never felt like their friendship was forced at all. Just like when lines become a little blurred between the two, it just works.
These chemistry between these two was off the charts and I could not put this book down once I started it. In fact, I am a little sad that it is over! Of course there is some angst in this book, after all things are often complicated when one starts to sleep with their bff! There were a few times I wanted to shake them both. But all in all I LOVED this book!
