This book is #2, in the Friend Zone series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  To avoid spoilers, and have a better understanding of the series, I recommend reading it in order. Layla has been competing with Dash for many years.  Suddenly he is her instructor for a college course.  Under other circumstances she may have had an alternative but this is forced upon her to graduate. Dash has been attracted to Layla for some time.  Her being upset and angry - he finds it hot.  As her teacher he can't do anything about it.  Not that she would let him.  Only time will tell now. This was kind of a punch to the gut right from the start.  Everything happened so fast for the characters.  The sparks are definitely flying.  The  series  continues with some heat and angst.  I give this a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review only.

Liam and Charlie have been best friends for a long time.  Now, he is feeling more for her than friendship.  Is it smart to act on those feelings?  He must decide before it is too late if he can be the man she needs. Charlotte AKA "Charlie" has just realized she wants more from her best friend, Liam.  All of a sudden the way she feels about him is just not enough.  Every time she is in the same room it seems there are so many sparks flying, she is afraid she will combust. This is such a sweet and yet very sexy story.  I was engrossed in it pretty quick.  Besides being my favorite trope, the characters are smart, sexy, and have great banter.  They get right to the heart of things.  I loved the pace and the fact it starts out this new series just right!  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was given in exchange for an honest review only.
