I really enjoyed these two characters and the way this author wrote them. Presley is a badass! She is strong and independent. She's sassy, feisty but she also has a streak of vulnerability. Jared just gets her. He's always been a bit of a player and a little arrogant. Neither are looking for a relationship but one unexpected night changes things for them.

It’s great when you agree on interesting topics such as the state of the world, but these are not the important things I’m talking about. If you have a friend who’s giving you the look – whether you are romantically interested in them or not – I can guarantee that you realize on some level they are eyeing you up. Well, an example could be when they stare into your eyes for an uncomfortably long time, or when they anxiously shift their eyes away, unable to keep looking you directly in the eyes. This is the other side of the equation: if a friend is more than that then a crucial sign is not only when you are excited by them but when they are visibly turned on by you.The important thing is that this is what you both want and that you don’t rush into it. Keep reading to learn about those and many more tips for when you’re going from friendship to relationship. 1. Make sure both of you want the same things. Another winner by T. Gephart!!

Trouble with her ex brings them even closer. Ok Ok. Maybe I shouldn't read a book based on it's cover, but I honestly couldn't help it. I simply fell in love with this gorgeous cover and jumped right in. I didn't realize that this book was part of a series, but you absolutely do NOT need to read any books prior to this one to enjoy this story. I didn't feel lost and felt like I knew the characters just fine. It is a series of standalones, so go forth and enjoy! There was a bit of the forbidden romance feel with Not Just Friends; best friend's sister should be off limits. Jared can't help but fall for the confident Presley, who knows what she wants. This is especially true when you are right at the beginning of a friendship that seems to be becoming more.

The affair begins when one partner starts spending more and more time with someone who was just a friend. I love that their relationship happens so naturally and they are both very supportive of one another. While they were both always attracted to one another, this is really an awakening of those feelings Is that mood boost joyousness from the upcoming time with your friend or the upcoming time with your special friend? They could be playfully flirting without being serious about it or flirting without going through with it because they’re afraid of rejection.Guess I lied. We were never just friends. But I promise, it will be the first and the last one I ever tell you. You forgive me?”
