Stella
I don't do roots. Or relationships. Or anything that involves the word “forever.”
But Luke Farley? He’s the kind of man who makes one night feel like a promise. With that stupidly perfect smile, a body built for sin, and hands that know exactly what they’re doing—he’s dangerously easy to want.
It was supposed to be casual. A few non-dates, a little flirting, and zero expectations.
Now I’m staring down feelings I swore I’d never catch… and falling for a man who climbs like he was born to take risks.
And worst of all? I don’t want to run.
Luke
Stella Young walked into my life like a dare I couldn’t resist—smart mouth, with a camera around her neck and zero intention of sticking around. She warned me not to catch feelings.
Too late.
She’s the one I want—complicated, messy, and magnetic as hell.
She says she’s not built for love. I think she’s just scared of falling.
Good thing I’m here to catch her.
Now this is a one night stand that I could get behind. Two polar opposites and yet Luke is cute enough for Stella to take home for the night. However, these two definitely are opposites attract kind of deal and I was just absolutely glued from the very beginning.
Stella is all independent. Wants to just do her thing and not settle down or be attached to anyone. However, she is about to learn that not only does fate keep throwing her in the path of Luke, but Luke knows that Stella is one to fight for. She won't be his the one that got away girl, he will show Stella that it's worth giving into fate and see where things go.
These two are a couple that I'll certainly remember down the line and tell everyone to read. This book is fun, is swoon worthy and basically could read like that movie you wish would actually happen. Overall this is not a book to let sit on your TBR. You need to dive in now.
