SYNOPSIS:
Trent Decker’s life was turned upside down when
Alex, his longtime girlfriend, abandoned him and their newborn son. Trying to
put order back in his chaotic life, he never expects to fall for his sister’s
best friend, Noelle. When another man seems to be stealing her heart, the years
of holding his feelings for her inside come out. He lays it all on the line,
hoping she chooses him. Noelle’s indecisiveness and an unanticipated visit from
his past, causes him to take a step back and focus on making things right for
his son, but can he stay away?
Noelle Grant prides herself on her life being in
perfect order: a great job, great friends and the occasional fling to satisfy
her needs. When her latest conquest, Jace, crashes into her life, she believes
he may be the one to keep for more than just a night or two. That is until
Trent, her best friend’s sexy, little brother, makes his feelings known and
turns her structured world inside out. Exploring her feelings for both men adds
complications and when Trent starts to pull away she believes Jace is what she
needs. But is he what she wants?
Will Noelle stay with the safer choice or will she risk everything for the one who makes her come completely undone?

EXCERPT:
“You need to move back more. I can only think with my lady parts if you
are that close.”
He lets out a full blown laugh but moves back.
“We don’t just have us to think about, Trent. If we get together and
something happens it can affect my friendship with Erin, my dinners with your
family, time with Jason and your nieces and nephews. What if this doesn’t work
out?”
“Noelle, please stop with the ‘what ifs’?” His frustration is starting
to surface. “Can you honestly tell me that you would regret it more if we tried
and it didn’t work than if we didn’t see this through at all?”
“I don’t know and I think that’s what the problem is. I need to think
this through and figure all that out.” Standing up I grab my glass of wine and
empty it. “I need to go.”
He follows me towards the door but grabs me just before I reach it. “You
promise to think about it? Do that entire ‘pro and con’ list shit that you like
to do? Weigh all the options, Noe, because I have. I would rather you and I try
it out and promise to stay friends if it doesn’t than the alternative.”
“I promise to give some serious thought to this. You know I don’t do
long term and I know you don’t want the short term version so just let me
think,” I plead.
“Go on a date with me then. Just one. You gave Jace today, I deserve the
same don’t I?” He slides his hand down my arm and clasps my fingers around his.
“Okay. Call me tomorrow and we can make plans.” I agree standing as high
as my toes will allow and kiss him on the cheek. “Bye, Trent. We’ll talk
tomorrow.”
“Bye, Noe.” He opens the door and grabbing my face he places the
gentlest of kisses on my forehead.
Pulling my bag off my shoulder, I dig around for my keys. I don’t notice
that Jace is outside leaning on his car.
“You know the window is open?” He calls out pointing towards Trent’s
house.
I turn around and find the blinds pushed to the side so you can see
directly into the house.
“Listen, Jace. I know what that might have looked like but…”
“You don’t have to explain it to me, Noelle. I saw you push him away.”
He shoves off from his car and meets me in the middle of the street. “But I
also saw you two kiss and I have to say that hurt. I just don’t understand why
I feel so territorial over you. I don’t want him touching you. I should take
you inside my house and erase every touch of his.”
Looking down I feel guilty. If he only knew how he touched me earlier in
the night.
“Do you want him?” He asks bringing me out of my daze.
“I still don’t know,” I say with conviction looking up because I don’t
have a clue.
“Do you want me?”
“I don’t know that either.”
He’s the safer choice. If things don’t work out with Jace, or he is just
another notch on my long belt full of notches, there is absolutely no
collateral damage. There is no possibility of losing a friend or people that I
call family, and I’m attracted to Jace. I normally don’t feel so connected to
someone right away besides physically but there is something about him that
makes me want to know him better.
But I can’t lose Trent.
There is no denying the sexual chemistry between the two of us, and I
know that we would be explosive in the bedroom. Deep down inside I’ve always
wanted something with him but until today I didn’t realize it was there.
Two weeks ago I was speed dialing Chase for our monthly screw and today
I’m considering changing my casual sex dating life for one of two men who are
offering me more.
With a quick goodbye and a promise to call later this week, I head home
to try to rid myself of this horrendous headache that has slowly seeped its way
in. After I pop some medicine and take a bath I pour myself into bed.
The light from my phone blinks with waiting text messages.
Erin:
Lucy, you have some ‘splainin’ to do!
Sexy
Jace: Sweet dreams, sweet thing.
Trent:
Choose us.
I cry myself to sleep that night knowing that soon I’m going to have to
break someone’s heart…and it might be my own.
My beyond five star review:
To start I am head over heels in love with this book. When I knew that we were getting Noelle's story and that it had a lot of Trent in it I was soooooo in. I don't know if you guys know but it takes a lot for me to cry in books and this book had me balling at certain points. It is an emotional read. It will take you through a slew of them. I was angry, mad, sad, happy and all the in-between in this book. To me that makes a very great book and when you can feel what they are going through makes it even better.
Noelle and Trent had a rocky ride trying to get the happily ever after they so desperately wanted , but couldn't get there shit together until they both admitted they couldn't live without each other. Even through all the stuff they went through and I will tell you there are part's you are going to want to shake Noelle and Trent and tell them to wake up and stop screwing around. They come out the other side ready to take the next step and willing to give them a try.
Amy wrote this amazingly beautiful story about a boy and girl and true love at its finest.
Oh and I forgot to tell you the sex scenes in this book let's just say that they are HOT!!
P.S. Amy yu killed me with those little letters. <3
