by Michelle Lynn

Release Date: June 14th 2015

Genre: New Adult, Romance, Contemporary

Synopsis:

My name is Rob Winters, aka, Jackass. Even to my closest friends.

I wasn’t always so arrogant and condescending. It only took one night to change me—one point twenty-seven seconds, to be exact.

When tragedy struck, I promised myself, no matter what, unbreakable chains would lock my heart. If one veers too close or digs too deep, the cruel and mean bastard many hate is unleashed. My plan has succeeded for the past seven years. I’ve driven away a girlfriend and killed a few friendships along the way. 

Then, just when the chains loosen around my heart, she walks into my life—or worse, the room next door. She strolls into my house with her bouncy brown curls and banging body, slithering herself through the smallest opening and making me crave the one thing I’ve denied myself these past years.

Her smell, her eyes, and her caring nature are everything I’m not worthy of enjoying. How long do I have to struggle with the demons that haunt me every night before the torture ends? Forever, I remind myself, but the links protecting my heart break each time Paige Kensington enters the room.

Michelle moved around the Midwest most of her life, transferring from school to school before settling down in the outskirts of Chicago ten years ago, where she now resides with her husband and two kids. She developed a love of reading at a young age, which helped lay the foundation for her passion to write. With the encouragement of her family, she finally sat down and wrote one of the many stories that have been floating around in her head. When she isn’t reading or writing, she can be found playing with her kids, talking to her mom on the phone, or hanging out with her family and friends. But after chasing around twin preschoolers all day, she always cherishes her relaxation time after putting the kids to bed.

Release Date: March 30th 2015

Genre: New Adult, College, Sports, Romance

Rate: Average + (3,5 starts)

Synopsis:

The equations are simple.

Piper Ashby + Brad Ashby = Twin Siblings

Brad Ashby + Tanner McCain = Best Friends

Piper Ashby + Tanner McCain = Off limits

Tanner and I abided by the rules. We stayed on our designated sides of the relationship circle. 

Ignoring swarming butterflies.

Brushing off skipped heartbeats.

Settling on lingering stares.

Here’s the secret … a hand extended over that invisible line once, exponentially changing the equation. I was convinced we could make our relationship work until Tanner broke the trust he embedded in me from the age of seven. 

One deceit of mega proportions and the relationship we built for that short month vanished. I swore never to speak to him again and it’s worked. Until now—two years later, when my brother’s wedding places me face-to-face with the best man—Tanner McCain. 

Leaving one equation to be solved. Can love surface twice?

Love Surfaced is one of those books that starts as a forbidden love due to the friendship the three main characters share and that turns out to be the best thing that could happen to Piper and Tanner. It's a good story and I had a good time reading it.

The synopsis pretty much gives you pretty great idea of what the book's about: two siblings and a best friend and feelings get mixed up. Due to Tanner and Brad's friendship, he and Piper have not had an official date, have not kissed before, until their attraction is too much and they start seeing each other secretly. But one mistake, one lie would tear them apart. However, in a story not always is black and white and two years later, Piper will discover what truly happened and that maybe the boy she fell in love with has always been there. Waiting for her.

I think I loved this book so much because of Tanner. He's one of those sweet, gentle, selfless, honorable and good male characters that have the potential to make all readers swoon over. He was so mature that it was kind of difficult sometimes to remember that he was a college boy.

The reason I didn't give more starts to this book, among other things, is that Piper gave me a poor reason to break up with Tanner. Okay, he deceived her, he made a mistake and kind of betray her. I can see that and be on her side. But not wanting to talk about it with him? After all the years of friendship and love between them? I think it was unfair and not very mature. I would be on Piper's side a 100% if Tanner haven't tried to explain, to fix things or at least to end up things in a good term before leaving. That's how he got even more book boyfriend points. 

Another reason would be that the story is a good one, but not one that made me tremble and made me addicted to it. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the story and my favorite moment is when Tanner and Piper get to see each other again after two years apart - insert goofy smile here -, but it's not an epic one. It has it's good, romantic moments that will definitely make you enjoy Tanner and Piper's story.

One deceit of mega proportions and the relationship we built for that short month vanished. I swore never to speak to him again and it’s worked. Until now—two years later, when my brother’s wedding places me face-to-face with the best man—Tanner McCain.

“Piper.” He hesitates before joining me on the cement stoop. 

I question why he even searched me out even though it’s been his MO lately, popping up wherever I am. 

He places his arm across my shoulders and pulls me into him, which only brings a ripple of warmth to the pit of my stomach. “Come here.” 

My head burrows into his strong chest, and his hand soothingly roams up and down my back. I sink into him. With the comfort of his arm, the tension in my shoulders from placing fifth in my swim meet slowly releases.

Refusing to let him make my mind race with his confusing affection, I sit up. Swiping the tears from my eyes, I honestly confess, “Tanner, it was my last shot.” 

He begins to shake his head, but I stop him, “No, I have to realize it. My dream of swimming in the Olympics is over.” I rise to my feet, and the heaviness in my chest sinks back into place now that I’m out of his embrace.

He follows me over to the oak tree. Coming up behind me, his hot breath tickles my neck. My pulse races into overdrive, reminding me of how badly I want him. 

Why does he keep leading me on? 

He continues to toe the line between friendship and more, but he never actually steps over it. Each time his hand brushes mine or his eyes search me out, my heart stops beating for a moment as I hope this is it—until he crushes the fluttering butterflies and steps away. 

I close my eyes from the view of Michigan University’s football stadium because I need to calm my insides. “Why are you here?” 

He should be with my twin brother, preparing for their own meet. 

“You should be in warm-ups.” 

His hands land on my shoulders, and he leans down. At our connection, a tingle spreads through my body. 

“I saw you leaving the pool house.” His voice cracks. 

I hear his deep intake of breath.

“That’s not what I’m asking, Tanner.” 

When I turn around, I almost collapse when I come face-to-face with this gorgeous guy. He’s absolutely one hundred percent the perfect male. 

My perfect male. 

His brown hair is tucked away in his MU hat that’s flipped backward. His lips and cheeks are rosy from the early spring chill in the air. With only a sweatshirt and track pants on, he’s the epitome of a college student. His good looks remind me of the unbearable yearning that pulls me toward him.

His eyes are so transparent that I can see the torment of his inner turmoil from our situation, meaning nothing has changed for him. He’s as conflicted as ever because I’m his best friend’s sister. 

“I don’t know.” His voice is soft, caressed with the sweetness he’s shown me the last few months. 

My stomach drops at his words. I want to grab his face with my hands and beg him to admit that the small seed of attraction has grown over the years and we can no longer dodge around it. 

Instead, I stand there, with my hands at my sides, silently pining for the day he acknowledges our desire for one another. 

“Then, that’s a problem.” My heart thumps as I sidestep him and weave through the sporadic clumps of snow that have yet to melt from the harsh winter.
