β€œScout Steele is the country music star People magazine just voted β€˜sexiest bachelor’. More than that, he’s my best friend forever, my bff. OK, not quite my lingo - I’m almost thirty. We’ve shared everything, and then some. Even crossed the line a few times, but not too far. Well, mostly…. He’ll go to the end of the world to make me happy; he knows me inside and out. Except, that is, my most intimate and darkest defect; this he must never know. It would ruin us, and β€˜us’ is the only thing that matters. So I’m marrying someone who doesn’t care about the truth or, frankly, even me.”
β€œShe’s twisted and sexy as all get out. Brilliant and beautiful, Tess Harlow is my best friend and my forbidden fruit - the woman I’ve always known and loved the best but can never have. Between my tours (and sexy groupies) and her man-juggling, we’ve never found β€œour time”. I love her to pieces but she’s about to marry the bane of my existence, rocker Creed Luce. He’s a walking clichΓ© and he treats my Tess like hell - why she stays with him I still haven’t figured out. I am always there for her…but not this time. Tess deserves better, way better, my better. The door is half-open and I have my ways. Her best friend is about to become her best lover.”

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Manic Readers in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.

Great story, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Tess and Scout have been BFF’s since they were kids, stuck in the friend zone Scout wants more but does not want to scare Tess, he is not sure that she has the same feelings for him. So they continue on as BFF’s, Tess is engaged to marry Creed a touring musician. Tess keeps secrets that she hasn’t told anyone not even Scout. Both Scout and Tess have strong feelings for each outer but are afraid that these feelings are not mutually shared.Β  Tess has a very difficult time trusting people completely and has never told anyone about her secret. When Scout discovers what it is will it change his feelings towards Tess? You will have to read the book to find out. This was a steamy, romantic story.Β  I received a free ARC for my honest opinion.
