SYNOPSIS

Jeni Acerna’s longstanding friends-with-benefits relationship with her bestie, Brian Hamilton, has been both blissful and troublesome. Unable to commit to any other relationship, she compares everyone to Brian in or out of bed. She has been in lust (and love) with him for years. Fear of losing him has prevented her from confronting him with her feelings.
After several months of not seeing each other, Jeni and Brian meet in Cleveland for a friend’s wedding. Their weekend getaway, however, is anything but normal. A five hundred dollar bet. A tryst in a garden. Their passion picks up where it left off – hot and heavy. However, this time Brian wants more than Jeni just in his bed. Can he can convince her to take the risk?

EXCLUSIVE REAL EXCERPT

Jeni walked down the terminal corridor and ducked into the closest restroom. She peered at herself in the mirror and ran her fingers through her long, chestnut hair, letting it fall over her shoulders. She pulled out her lip gloss from the side pocket of her brown shoulder bag and spread it over her lips.
There!
She smiled. Now, she didn’t look liked she’d been crammed into a plane seat for over two hours, shifting about trying to find a comfortable position. She never minded travel, in fact, she rather enjoyed it, but the excitement at seeing Brian had made her restless.
She headed for the escalator that would take her to the baggage claim area, where Brian would meet her. Her heart raced a bit as the organ always did when it had been a while since she’d seen him. She could never really explain why the jitters overtook her. They had known each other for eternity, but the butterflies fluttered in her stomach anyway.
As she stepped on the escalator, she saw him standing at the bottom, waiting. His lopsided smile spread across his lips when he noticed her. His Ohio State baseball cap was pulled low, just how she loved it, and his dark brown curls wisped out from underneath. A black T-shirt clung to his torso, showing off the lean muscle tone of his arms and chest. Light blue jeans slung low on his hips. His chocolate eyes sparkled as he looked up her descent.
Several people stood between Jeni and Brian on the escalator, but she didn’t care. She hustled down the moving stairs, slinging her large duffel bag over her shoulder. When she reached the bottom step, she tossed her bag to the side and threw her arms around his neck. He picked her up and swung her around. Bystanders probably thought they were lovers who hadn’t seen each other in a while.
Well, in some ways, that was an accurate assessment.
Jeni buried her face in his neck. He smelled refreshing and familiar. Fresh mint with a hint of sandalwood and something just him. God, she loved his scent. Made her feel at home.
“I never realize how much I miss you until I see you again.” His words brushed past her ear and sent shivers through her.
“I know what you mean.” Pulling back from her nestled spot on his neck, her gaze landed on his. Warm eyes, twinkling with mischief. His smile remained. “You look great!” She kissed his cheek.
“As do you.” He placed a gentle kiss on her lips. His mouth was soft and moved over hers lightly. He slid his tongue over the seam of her lips, and Jeni moaned, unable to stop the sound from escaping her. His smile stretched against her lips. He thought that sound meant she’d fold. Uh-uh!
She pulled back from the kiss and grinned at him. If she let that kiss go any further, he would be correct, and they would barely make it back to his car. She shook her head and smirked. He twisted his lips in disappointment, but his chocolate eyes danced with the challenge. Then he grabbed her bag and her hand and walked out of the airport towards his car.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
