Tuesday
Each day I long for the forbidden.
Dreams like seeds planted in poor soil.
My future has been sown since I was young, and now the man I’ve fallen for is off-limits.
Not that he’d give me the time of day.
My brother’s best friend puts out fires by day, and ignites unfamiliar feelings by night.
How do I pluck these desires before they overtake me?
I’m choosing to stay positive. Live joyfully, like a sunflower.
If only someone like Alex could adore me as I do my faithful blossoms.
Alex
My life is nearly perfect.
Great job, hot girl, and amazing friends.
So why do I feel off?
I’m not looking for more. And if I was, the last thing I’m allowed to consider is Tuesday Palmer.
If only she hadn’t put me under a spell with her bright smile and radiant personality.
But restraint is the name of this game.
I can only look, not touch, this tempting flower.
Even if I’m dying to surrender.
Buy the Book!
My Thoughts:
I am a big fan of forbidden/brother’s best friend/best friend’s sibling tropes and this novella is one that fits the mold of exactly what I look for! Of course, I would always love more story between a couple, but I was impressed by how LM Fox gives us a true love story in under 150 pages. Incredible!
Tuesday is instantly a love of mine. She’s perceptive, sweet, and has such a giving heart. Alex has kept his distance from Tuesday, knowing all along that she’s had a crush. Now that their age difference isn’t in an awkward phase, Alex can’t help but be drawn to her. I adore his protective instincts toward her and his willingness to break this off with Ainsley before pressing forward.
The emotions hit you square in the heart as you root for this sweet couple (with a nice bit of spice!). I love the bit of foreshadowing as Tuesday’s initial customer situation comes full circle. I’ll definitely be anxiously awaiting the next book!
I received a complimentary ARC for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own.
