Series: Cedar Street (Book 1)
Best friends. A fake relationship. And only one bed.
Noah Stafford loves his life—his happy, single life. So
what if he made up a fake girlfriend to stop his boss’s matchmaking? He kept
things close to the truth—Carly really does have long, sexy legs and a killer
sense of humor. She just happens to be his best friend. His wicked awesome and
completely platonic best friend.
But now his boss is having a destination wedding, and
Noah is expected to attend…with Carly, his girlfriend.
Carly Randall has no interest in living out a rom-com
plot. But Noah is her best friend, so she agrees to help. Still, once they
arrive on Cape Cod, she can’t explain the sudden butterflies she feels when he
looks at her that way. Or why she doesn’t mind when Noah’s hands stray a little
south of her back.
What happens on the Cape stays on the Cape.
Except not really, not at all, and once their sexy
faux-cation is over, Noah and Carly return to a reality where everything’s
changed. Going for it would mean risking their friendship…but forgetting how
good they were together just isn’t an option.
This was a short, sweet, friends-to-lovers novella. Noah
and Carly have been best friends all their lives. They share just about
everything, from a love of the outdoors to movie nights. So when Noah's boss
starts talking about setting Noah up with his soon-to-be sister-in-law, Noah
claims he has a girlfriend - Carly. That's all well and good until Jim expects Noah
to bring her to his wedding. Now Noah has to confess what he's done and ask
Carly to help him out. Carly can't believe Noah has done such a boneheaded
thing, but she can't refuse to help him. She has her conditions that she sets
forth, and Noah is only too happy to meet them.
But once Noah and Carly arrive on the Cape, things don't
go the way they expect them to. Noah is shocked when he notices how sexy Carly is.
He'd never looked at her that way before, but suddenly he can't stop. When
their faked show of affection gets out of hand, they face an unexpected change
in their friendship. Carly worries that it will ruin it, but Noah believes that
what happens on the Cape can stay on the Cape. When they get back home, they have to face the
fact that things have changed and decide what to do about it. Noah's and
Carly's reactions were not what I expected from each of them, and I loved
seeing how each handled their change in circumstances. Noah's big moment at the
end was sweet, and the epilogue was the perfect ending.
