Blurb

(Brother’s best friend, forbidden love, small-town, military second-chance romance.)

A promise written on a coaster.
A lost night in a dark room.
Grayson Cole was my brother’s best friend.
He was all of my firsts.
Then he went away…

Drew Harris was just a kid, a senior in high school, my best friend’s little sister.
They said she was too young to know her feelings.
I was too old to have them, so I left to join the military.

Four years passed.
Loss, injury, angry words I can never take back…
I’m home, but I’m not the same.
Neither is she.

Now she’s a woman with flashing blue eyes, long blonde hair, and gorgeous curves.
Still, she’s the same sweet smile, the same sassy mouth…
I could never say No to her before.

I should for her sake.
She deserves better than what I’ve become, scarred and damaged.

“They told me to stay away from you.
I went away to try… God, I tried.
Now everything has changed. I’m back, and
I’ll do whatever it takes to make you mine…”

This was a sweet but predictable book and had a little bit of everything…loss, love, secrets, angst, heartbreak and anger. Grayson and Danny are best friends since they were kids and Grayson has always had a special place in his heart for Danny’s little sister Drew. Gray and Drew have a relationship of sorts and hide it from everyone until Gray and Danny end up leaving for the military. Eventually Gray finds his way back to his hometown. Trying to heal mentally, can the loss he has suffered bring him and Drew back together or will secrets and nightmares tear them apart even more?

It flowed really well but as I said was moderately predictable. I enjoyed watching the healing and reconnection of these two characters and it was an ok book for me.

Excerpt

“Your daddy’s right.” Gray looked at me with tortured blue eyes that contradicted every word he said. “You’re so young. You don’t know what you want.”

I only kissed him again, crawled onto his lap again, put his hands on me and made us forget my disapproving father, my overprotective brother. Neither of them had been there for me the way Grayson always had.

“I know what I want…”
