Lovin' los libros

 

I am not usually a fan of novellas, but this one completely worked for me! After reading Feel the Rush, I loved that this continued with the characters we had grown to like so much! I really liked Meagan and Reed together, and while I never would have put Eva and Trevor together, I actually thought they were quite perfect! We meet both of them in Feel the Rush and are Meagan's best friends. I said in my FTR review that I loved Trevor especially, because he is a great guy friend to Meagan. He really has that older brother type vibe down pat and is very protective of her. Eva is also important to Meagan- so much so that when Eva gets a transfer to GA, Meagan ends up leaving NY to go with her. Eva is feisty, fun, and outgoing. I was hoping she would get her own book, but I honestly thought it would be with Luke, Reed's best friend.

 

Luke and Eva had hooked up in FTR and dated for a short while. Luke's feelings ran deeper than Eva's did and broke things off with her. Now, at Meg and Reed's wedding, Eva is forced to confront Luke again. Eva isn't blind to how attractive Luke is, or how good he could make her feel- yet she knows she has to stay away, as she doesn't to hurt him any more than she already has.

 

Trevor offers Eva the perfect out- pretend to be in a relationship with him and then she won't have to worry about Luke. Eva doesn't think that is a very good idea or that she needs to do it, but after a conversation with Luke, she goes for it and tells him her and Trevor have a thing going on.

 

Of course playing pretend isn't as easy as its cracked up to be. Eva and Trevor, while never really thought of each other in that way (Sure, Trevor's though about it, but not seriously), suddenly find themselves facing some serious sexual attraction. Eva makes the rules clear to Trevor about how they will act, but soon the rules are out the door and the two let instinct and hormones take over. Can these two just be physical with one another without letting feelings and emotions get in the way?

 

I might not have seen Trevor and Eva together, but after this novella- I was completely sold on those two. While neither one was actively looking for love, it goes to show that sometimes it has a way of creeping up on you when you least expect it.
