More book worm than Barbie, Reese Shepard is completely caught off guard when the most beautiful man she has ever seen in her life steps in and pretends to be her boyfriend when some creep won’t leave her alone.

She assumes that it’s the last time that she’ll see the chivalrous stranger, but soon he is everywhere she is. And before she knows what’s happening, the two of them are spending all their free time together bonding over their love of the ocean, scary movies, and homemade cookies.

Reese knows that a guy like Brodie Larsen could have any woman he wants and that becomes even more apparent when she finds out that he’s a pro hockey player that’s worth millions of dollars. So to save herself the potential heartbreak she places him firmly in the friend zone.

If only he’d stay there.

The infuriating man starts pushing for more, lots more, and the worst part is she wants to give it all to him including her heart.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

MY REVIEW

When Reese's best friend turned more breaks her heart, she knows she has to get out of their small town and away from Kirk and her soon to be stepsister. Now she's living with her adored aunt, working, and avoiding her entire family so she can heal her heart. Then Brodie happens to her. This man. This sweet, gorgeous man shows up as first her neighbor, then her rescuer, and her heart is melting for him. Still, she knows a girl like her doesn't stand a chance of being with a guy like him, so she places him firmly in that dreaded friend zone. Now they're bonding, getting to know each other, and becoming fast friends. But what happens when she starts to want more? Even when she finds out he's not just her hot friend/protector? That's he's a famous, rich hockey player?

Brodie cannot believe his visceral, instant reaction to this beautiful woman at the pool. Warding off the jerk who seems he doesn't understand when a woman isn't interested, brings him firmly into Reese's life. He wants to be more than just the guy who rescued her, more than just her friend, but he's supposed to be focusing on hockey, right? His heart isn't giving him a choice, though, and now he's determined to be Reese's everything. If only she'd let him...

Oh my! Reese and Brodie are so freaking adorable. Though this is a shorter story, the way they go from strangers to friends to everything doesn't feel rushed or incomplete, it's a complete, fleshed out love story. I love how instantly Brodie wants to be with Reese, but knows he can't overwhelm her or go ott with her, instead as calmly as he can, he woos her and steals her heart just as she stole his when he laid his eyes on her the first time. I want many, many more stories about Brodie and Reese now!
