emotional fast-paced

This is not typically a book I would read, but since my name is Callie I felt like I had to read it. Let me tell you I was not disappointed! I was hooked from the first chapter with the juicy details from the Stable. Follow that up with several HOT scenes that keep upping the anti. The plot has suspense and mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat. 

Callie has had a crush on Noah for six years and it finally acting on it to get what she wants. Only Noah is her brothers best friend and thus ‘forbidden’. Noah has a past of his own and must face it in order to be with Callie, the only girl he wants. Will Callie and Noah be able to work through their past and be a couple together?

adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted mysterious tense fast-paced

This book literally roped me in right from the start I do always very much enjoy the writings and books by this wonderful author, but this one was a special read. I got a lot more than I expected, and I do not mean just romance, I mean story, plot, characters and all that jazz! This book was more than just a good time!

What I loved about this book, was that it really held its realistic notes right to the very end. I felt the characters were very connectable, and able to visualize without faults. I loved the whole forbidden romance, being Noah is Callie's BFF and that means off limits. I didn't expect the romance and building between these two to be as hot as it was! I loved their moments and the fire they had between them together. And Noah was great, everything you dream of having n a guy, plus great at those steamy moments sure were a bonus! I loved the dept of the characters, and how they grew within themselves as well around each other! Loved this book!

Once again this author has truly nailed it! I could not put this book down, and certainly did not want it to conclude! High recommendation from me for sure, do not pass up this must read book and author!

This was such an amazing continuation of the  series. I love how Noah was the PERFECT  gentleman with Callie. They’re an adorable couple and I’m so glad that the novel went how it did. 


The twist that Deborah throws into the book when it comes to Noah’s twist was amazing. Extremely unexpected, and it took me by complete surprise. Noah is definitely book boyfriend goals. He’s probably at the top of my list(; 


If you liked book 1, “Rough Lover” or just like the “brothers best friend” and “forbidden love” tropes ​then this book definitely is for you.
