If he kisses me right now, I’ll drown.

Every sip of air is shallow and burning, because in the arms of my best friend’s brother, I’m the closest I’ve ever been to sin.

His eyes flick to my lips, and I remember the first time I tasted him, seven years ago before I left this town and vowed never to return. His hands grip my waist, and I remember the pain when he rejected me, when my entire world crashed down at his command. His jaw clenches, and my senses come alive with one stinging reminder.

I’m not his to kiss, and he’s not mine.

I tried to stay away from Tyler Wagner, putting an entire country between us. But when his sister’s wedding brings us back to the same town, to the same house, I can’t avoid him, no matter how hard I try.

He’s always there, his dark eyes bewitching, luring me into their depths. The memory of us pulls me under like a rip current, and when he flashes that smile, I lose my breath, along with my will, unable to escape his grip and find the surface.

Now, hours before our plus ones arrive for the wedding, I’m in his arms, begging him to make me hate him, knowing he never could.

If he kisses me right now, I’ll drown.

And I’ll take him down with me.

This series just keeps getting better. This is a second chance/best friends brother romance. I absolutely love second chance books. So, when I read this was going to be one that was adding a brother best friend, I knew I had to read it. That just makes the story so much more interesting to me.
The push and pull that these two had was so real and raw I felt like I was in the story with them.
Jasmine moves across the country and ends up getting a boyfriend and then Tyler ends up getting a girlfriend. What?! That part of the story made me want to dive into the book and shake them so that they would be together. you can tell from reading the first few chapters they are going to be together, but life got in the way for them. I can’t wait to see what the author comes out with next.
