The One That Got Away

Kingston Ale House, Book 1

How far will one man go for the woman he's loved since high school?

Jamie: I've been in love with my best friend for as long as I can remember. I tried to tell her in high school, which royally backfired. Ten years hasn't changed things, but now I'm finally ready to lay it all out on the table. The only problem? She's got her sights set on someone else.

I made the mistake of letting her go once before. This time, I'm going to prove that the only guy she needs is me.

Brynn: We're best friends - nothing more - and it's good like this. That's what I've been telling myself since the night in high school when we shared a single kiss, a night that was great - but then wasn't. Now we're on a road trip to California, and he's surprising me at every turn - helping me overcome my fear of heights, belting out my favorite Monkees song, and looking way sexier with his shirt off than a best friend is supposed to.

But admitting how I feel may mean losing our friendship. I thought I'd find happiness in California, but now I'm wondering if the right guy for me has been by my side all along.

Contains mature themes.

Twists and turns

I loved when you think it’s a given ending but then it twists and turns you upside down.

Angst

I usually love A.J. Pine but this book was barely a story. The whole book was written in angst over their lost ten years of love that they spent as best friends. I rolled my eyes so often that I really feared their inevitable "stuck that way"

A Sweet Book about Unrequited Love

Finally, a book about two people falling in love who actually know each other. The characters are well-developed and realistic. There are some laugh-out-loud moments, along with enough steaminess. I look forward to the next book. But I will miss Brenn.

So long

How were they able to stretch this story out more than an hour is beyond me. It goes on and on and on and on. The pitiful characters are like old soap operas. Making up scenarios even after they have discovered the truth. It tedious to say the least.

“I’ve been caught finally “

It took a minute but they finally figured it out is all I can say. Or may a decade lol enjoy the story.
