Publisher's summary

It was a mouthwatering kiss that changed everything....

One thing that held constant in Shelby Donovan’s life was her career. As a world-renowned artist, Shelby’s paintings traveled the globe, landing in museums and homes across the nation. But what she couldn’t seem to get under control was her love life. Her mother insisted it was because of her best friend, Sebastian Cartwright. They’ve known each other for years. Sebastian and Shelby shared everything; embarrassing moments, secrets, dating tips, affection, and even an explosive kiss during one tipsy night on Shelby’s birthday.

But, when Shelby’s current boyfriend asks for her hand in marriage, she should be excited, dancing, ready...but she isn’t. In fact, Shelby can’t stop thinking about the kiss she shared with Sebastian. It had to be a fluke, right? A simple, delicious, fiery kiss that pulled at her loins and caused her heartbeat to slam against her ribcage. Honestly, it rocked her world and thoughts of what could be played like piano keys in her head. But their friendship was too important to mix with the uncertainty of a relationship. Even worse, what if Sebastian didn’t feel the same way? It could ruin everything.

Should Shelby accept the marriage proposal or shed her fears and open up to her best friend? Find out in Everything I Always Wanted.

Loved it so much I read it 2x in 1 week

I love this story of friends trying to find their way to love. I am a Stephanie Nicole Norris fan having read via Audible about 8 books by now. Also loving her tried and true narrators, and now Benjamin Charles’ performance has made me a fan as well - his emotion made Sebastian a character any woman would want. Great book series!

Great Read

The storyline was great overall. The female narrator is one of my faves so I always love her. The male narrator did not do it for me, I absolutely did not like his voice. He read in what I guess was supposed to be a seductive tone but it was way too robotic…quite annoying. I’d rather the female narrator had did both the female and male parts.

Really?

This was a great storyline; however, some of the stuff the main female character pulled was a bit suspect/naive. The narrators did a great job with characters.

It’s so cute and I love it

Let’s be honest. Your never too old to be confused and this book showed how expressing yourself no matter your age can be a roller coaster ride all in itself. Plus that Benjamin Charles gave me all the feels!!!!

Intense!

I actually liked the book. I wanted to shake some sense into Sebastian a couple of times. But I did like the tension, and the story had lots of tension! After the couple decides to be together, there is usually a roadblock, like an ex that won’t go away or misunderstanding/jealousy over a 3rd person. There were a few of those, which made the tension more intense. So if you like that kind of tension, you’ll like the story.
