Gracie Smith has a plan for St. Patrick’s Day.
Find a bar. Find a stranger. Have a reckless, forgettable one-night stand.
No feelings. No promises. No complications.
There’s just one problem.
A man.
Her lifelong friend, Beck.
Best friends since kindergarten, they grew up in each other’s backyards, scraped knees and whispered secrets. A first kiss they promised meant nothing.
He’s her safe place. Her comfort. The one person she can truly be herself with.
But this St. Patrick’s Day, with green lights flashing and beer cups overflowing, Beck is done standing by while Gracie gives herself to men who don’t deserve her. Done pretending friendship is enough. Done watching her break her own heart.
Tonight, he’ll make her see him.
Make her see herself.
Tonight, he'll ruin the friendship.
A spicy, emotional friends-to-lovers novella about crossing the line, choosing forever, and realizing the most dangerous thing isn’t losing your best friend, it’s never taking the chance at all.
My Review: Ah! I'm loving these Holiday themed Novellas.
Gracie is ready to get lucky tonight. Ready for a one night stand, Gracie is going to look around the bar and find someone to take home and all will be well.
Uh, until her bestie Beck overhears that and he isn't happy about it. Beck wants Gracie and their forever friendship is going to be more or nothing.
Gracie and Beck are best friends since kindergarten. Gracie doesn't see it as more, yet when her friend asks to make a move, she feels more than she may want to admit.
Beck finally spits out why he wasn't really talking with Gracie for a while and said its now or never. If he can't have all of her than he can't be friends anymore.
Maybe it was Beck going all out on a guy that wouldn't leave Gracie alone. Maybe they both knew all along. But tonight their friendship is going into a new territory.
Boy was it worth it. To watch the night play out, to them finally giving into each other and then seeing how their life unfolded was so beautiful and will pull on your heart strings. Seeing what a lifelong friendship to lovers can become and knowing that these two are destined to make it forever AND their parents are besties too. You know those two probably knew this was bound to happen too.
So amazing, as usual. Can't wait for the next Holiday special.
