I saw her first.
Blonde. Gorgeous. Feisty.
I was smitten.
But it didn’t matter because she chose him and he was my best friend and roommate. I’d never be able to compete with that, so I pushed her away instead. It was easy when she lived hours away, and I didn’t have to see her every day, but then she moved in with us.
Now, I’m screwed.
To her singing in the shower every morning, dancing in the kitchen while she makes coffee, and doing yoga in our living room, I can’t stop thinking about her in all the wrong ways. She’s not mine and never will be, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to push her against a wall and claim her mouth.
She’s constantly on me for making messes, bringing chicks home every weekend, and being a smartass when their PDA gets on my nerves. Considering neither of them know how I feel, it’s not fair for the
way I act toward them. I should move out so I can get over her for good; however, the selfish part of me can’t let go.
But then the unthinkable happens...
When my best friend dies in a motorcycle accident, the two of us are left to grieve our loss together. Instead of pushing her away, I pull her closer.
Just as we come to terms with our new reality, she finds out she’s pregnant with his baby.
And I’m left to make the hardest decision of my life...

My Thoughts:
Lennon Corrigan loves to poke the beast but he likes poking back probably just as much. Hunter Manning doesn’t like change especially when it affects his relationship with his roommate. The link between these two is Brandon.
Right from the beginning of this story you can feel the tension between Lennon and Hunter. You could feel it building as the chapters go by. What I’ve come to love about a first person point of view is that we get to hear and feel what the character does. The other thing about that view point is that the other character has no idea – good for us and sometimes bad for them.
I’m going along wondering what our authors planned for Lennon and Hunter. I just couldn’t figure it out and that’s one reason that I kept turning the page. Then I come to a scene and the light bulb goes on – it gave me the shock value to “wake” me up. Then it has you wondering, “Where do we go from here?” But it also brings a realistic aspect to it. Life is full of surprises and you just never know what is going to happen.
