One for the Road

Love in #'s #1

by Andie Bale

Brooke Baxter is living it up in the city of Chicago, not looking for love, but definitely open to it. Meeting her best friend's nemesis throws her for a loop. She wants to stay loyal to the friendship, but she also wants to explore her attraction to the man she's banned from speaking to.

Ridge Montgomery is done with women, at least for now. Meeting his employee's best friend changes his mind. The inexplicable connection he feels with Brooke doesn't make any sense. Relationship hopping is not his thing, yet here he is. Taking a risk has never felt this good.

***This story has heart, humor and lots of heat that's intended for readers who are 18 or older***

First things first, the “Not a bestselling author “ on the cover, cracked me up and deserves some praise for the confidence and courage it takes, especially with a first-book-published! An original and great kick-off, and we’re only talking about the cover details so far.. now, let’s get to the story part! OMG! Laugh, swoon, cry, laugh repeat! It was a roller coaster of jumbled emotions! I felt every word! A really sweet story that has the power to melt even the coldest of hearts!

Side note: if there’s a real Ridge out in the world, and you’re reading this review, please marry me!

All in all, congratulations to Andie Bale and a warm welcome to the book world! A superb, sweet debut! Can’t wait to read the next ones!

Definitely a must read!

ure sweet sexy book lovin’

Ridge and Brooke’s story was so freaking sweet!

This is an instalove romance (probably my fave genre). This story will make you laugh, cry, question life, build your faith in love and get you a little hot and bothered. Let me tell you…

Ridge is everything!

Brooke falls for Ridge aka her besties nemesis. She felt bad for like ½ a second, Ha! I don’t blame her. Ridge is exactly what a supporting partner should be. His love and support for Brooke was so touching, the guy had me swooning. He totally redeemed himself for being a little shallow and dumb in the beginning. Add in that he kind of has a dirty mouth and loves to throw down. Yes please!

I totally recommend reading this if your looking for some pure sweet sexy book lovin’.

This is the first in a series, and my work this author is definitely one to look out for in the future. This is Ridge and Brooke’s journey, and the predicament she faces falling for her best friend’s nemesis, and with the girl code, should be forbidden. This is a well written sweet, fun, and heartfelt romance, which is an emotional roller coaster, filled with humor, witty banter, and love, which leads to an entertaining and steamy addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

I really loved this romance, it was sweet, hot and very funny, I have to admit, I had a good laugh while reading it !! This author is new to me, but I'll definitely follow her.

Ridge and Brooke will melt your heart, they're adorable together and also perfect for each other. They really complete each other and I loved reading their story.

I really enjoyed the story and the writing style of this book, I can't wait for book 2, and I'm so happy that the wait won't be very long for it !!

I liked this book

I enjoyed this book. Not bad for a new author. I must admit in the beginning I did not like Ridge at all, but turns out he's a pretty decent guy. I know he will stand by his person in the bad times. I also like how this book sets up for the future books in this series. You do get to meet future characters. I am really looking forward to Lexi and Marcos book.

I loved this! Every time I thought I knew what was happening I was taken off guard which never happens to me. I think because it Doesn’t follow the same plot waves that every romance book does. The conflict isn’t a misunderstanding. It’s a genuine real life obstacle. The characters feel so real and genuine. I truly loved this and I’m about to do a deep dive on everything this author has written.

Enjoyable read

Ridge is super sweet. He has a great relationship with Brooke and proves to her that he will stick with her through anything. I loved how he is, especially toward the end.

Enjoyable Read!!

This a new author for me and I throughly enjoyed this book.
I think it defines the rules of not getting into a quick relationship, but when you know, you know and Ridge knew.

I’m definitely looking forward to the next book.

Sweet, Fun, Love It

H and h meet through h’s best friend. Attraction develops. A few side dramas and one situation that tests the relationship but couple stays strong. Hope to see relationships develop for side characters even one of the soft villains.

What a sweet couple! Ridge made me laugh through the entire book. This story is fun, charming, and the couple is adorably in love. I definitely recommend!

All of the characters spoke and behaved like ten year olds. And it wasn’t just insta-love. It was insta everything.
Not worth the hour it took to read.

Written by a teenager

This had to have been written by a teenager. All of these characters act and speak like a very young persons idea of what grown ups are like.
