Kylah

I’ve always lived in the shadows of my athletic older brother and my charismatic twin sister. And that’s okay by me. I don’t mind being known as the shy wallflower. The gawky geek. The sweet, virginal girl. Well, that’s one label I’ve been trying to shed since starting my freshman year in college this year. The thing is, no one’s ever looked twice at me.

Until I met Van Gerard.

He notices me. He looks at me and seems to like what he sees. He understands and listens to me. He’s become a great friend. The problem is, I don’t want him as a friend.

I want more.

But my brother – along with a state line between us, and oh yeah, Van’s long-time girlfriend – are just a few complications getting in the way of what I want.

Van

I thought my senior year in college would be the best time of my life. I’m a starter on a Pac-12 basketball team, set to graduate with a degree in Finance. I have a girlfriend whom I’d planned to start a future with. I thought my life was already mapped out.

But then the bottom dropped out with a confession I never expected to hear, from the girl I thought I knew.

I thought wrong.

Luckily for me, Kylah Griffin was there to break my fall. She’s the best thing this year has given me. She’s helped me through a devastating blow that could have sent me reeling.

I know she wants more, but I’m not sure I can give it. Now that I’ve been burned, I don’t think I can go there again. Kylah’s not a hook-up, and she’s definitely not a rebound. She’s a sweet girl who deserves more than to be friend-zoned.

If only things weren’t so complicated.

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.

I so enjoyed this friends to more story. This was a sweet read. I absolutely fell in love with Van. HE is a great guy. Kaylah is a sweet girl that just wants one guy.

Van was faithful to his longtime girlfriend never once showing another girl the time of day. Then Kylah came into his life and she became a good friend. Kylah has a crush on Van but knows its hands off because 1. He has a girlfriend 2. He is her older brother’s friend and teammate. So friend zone it is. Then Van’s perfect world is turned upside down and Kylah is the one that is there to help him. Can they get past their friend zone to be more to each other?

My heart hurt for all that Van went through. The way Van and Kylah start as friends and move to being more was heartwarming. I loved Kylah she is young, naive, inexperienced but she knows what she wants. However, she knows what she wants is off limits but she takes what she can get. The way the other guys on the team treat Kylah as their own sister Van has the cards stacked against him if he messes things up. A few of my favorite scenes was when Kylah has her one on one chat with Carver, man you gotta love Carver. And the other one was when Kylah enlisted the help of her brother to surprise Van but in turn he ends up helping her see that things aren’t always as they seem.

I am so enjoying this series and cannot wait for more of these ball players. I am so ready for the rest of them to find their distraction like Van and Cade did. Oh this is going to be a great game to watch.
