This is the first book I've read by this duo and it certainly won't be the last. They write great characters,a well-thought out plot, and smoldering sexy scenes. The characters are relatable and the emotions are realistic. It's hard to write about deep emotions and make the reader feel and this book has all the feels. There is humor, witty sexy banter, great turns, and an nice twist at the end.
Piper has been a grief-stricken young widow for a year, her only solace her dead husband's best friend, Nate. After a year of friendship and support, Nate unexpectedly stirs her libido. While the idea of moving forward terrifies her, the guilt she feels for wanting a sex life and the loss of Jordan has her being more than cautious.
Nate has his own guilt. He feels responsible for Jordan's death and takes the promise he made to his dying friend to heart: Take care of Piper. His support cements their friendship, but as time goes on she kicks in feelings that Nate has fought his entire life. Nate carries his own baggage from his past, as well as his player reputation. So they can just be friends with benefits, right? What could go wrong?
I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to finish this book. I found I could not put it down and I can't wait for another read from R.L. Kenderson
