is LIVE on AMAZON!
As a guy, the number one rule to being best friends with a girl should be simple…
Never, and I do mean never, fall in love with her.
Oh and you should never fantasize about her either.
Believe me, that situation can get messy really fast and leave you with nothing but one hell of an awkward mess on your hands—literally.
Reese and I have been through everything together; our bond is deep. But I am going down fast, and I fear there is no way to stop it. I spend most of my time hiding my body’s reaction to her because like I said: just friends.
But things are changing. We are changing.
I no longer see her as just Reese, my best friend. When I look at her now, I see a gorgeous woman that takes my breath away. I see my future. But what if she doesn’t see me the same way?
I can’t risk losing her…
The fear of screwing everything up is excruciating. So that’s why I have chosen to stick to the rules. The Rules of Friendship that is.
She was off limits. Plain and simple.
But then in she walks wearing her tiny shorts and those tight tops. Come on, a guy can only have so much restraint before he caves…

So
I have to mention this one small thing about the cover and then I’ll dive into
my review, bear with me. My husband came across this book while I was reading
it and he asked my why the chick was grabbing the guys stuff in the photo. I
didn’t understand until I really went back and looked at the photo. It really
does look like she’s preparing to relieve him with her front hand... right in
front of his jeans. I never noticed until it was pointed out and now, I can’t
unsee it. Please, someone else tell me you see this?!? I should mention that it
doesn’t even bother me. It’s a beautiful cover with great colors. I just
giggled like an 11 year old boy.... I apologize.
I love this genre! There’s seriously something wonderful about friends getting together. They already have this mutual respect and friendship that’s, hopefully strong. Dawson was every woman’s fantasy. I mean... a firefighter? Sign me up!! Plus he says the swooniest things! Reese didn’t stand a chance! Even with her feisty attitude, Dawson is head over heels for her. I just love how they’ve both been secretly thinking about the author.
I seriously enjoyed the fun and easy way Reese and Dawson had together. Theirs friendship was deep, and oh so sweet. The chemistry and friendship CA Harms created seemed so pure, so sweet. I was a bit bugged by Dawson’s out-of-character stupidity. He was really created as this sweet and caring guy that took great care to be a friend Reese needed. But then, he just changed... and it bugged me a bit. At the same time, I can get some of it. They are still young. Even with that little nuance, I’d totally recommend this story! It was written well with deep and. Ms. Harms is so creative and her characters are so real with their fun and banter.
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
SNEAK PEEK:
“I love you, Reese,” he declares in a raspy voice. Punctuating every word, Dawson repeats, “I. Love. You.” Every drawn out word pierces my heart. He twists his hands in front of him as if to keep them busy and keep him from reaching out for me. “I’ve wanted you for so long, even when I knew I shouldn’t. The hardest thing was pretending that what I felt for you was nothing more than friendship. When on the inside, I wanted to make you mine. I need to know: Are you mine, Reese?”
MEET THE AUTHOR:
C.A. Harms is an avid romance and mystery reader. She's always had a love for books, getting lost in writing and storytelling even as a young girl. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories.
She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She holds an addiction for Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha’s and KitKat when she should really be focusing on water and maybe a fruit or two to make herself feel less guilty, but that feeling quickly passes...thankfully.
She is easy going, fun, and although she may seem like one of the quiet ones at first, you just wait until she gets to know you better...that quietness changes, fast.
