Kissing & Telling Blurb: Everyone knows the rules of friendship, right? Rule #1: Don’t kiss your best friend. Rule #2: Don’t have sex with your best friend. Rule #3: Don’t pretend like it didn’t happen the next day. Bailey Renshaw is my best friend. Kind. Sweet as a peach, and so beautiful it should be a crime. Since we were kids I’ve wanted her, and one time when we were nothing more than teenagers I kissed her. It was the first mistake I ever made in our friendship. Giving her my heart and hoping she felt the same were my second and third. That night she broke me, ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped on it. Anyone else would’ve hated her for it, but it only made me value her more, and realize that I would do anything I could to keep her in my life even if it was only as a friend and nothing more. As a permanent resident of the friend zone, I promised myself that I would never cross that line again no matter how badly I wanted to, and I wanted to, badly. Every time she smiled at me, licked her pink lips, or flashed her doe eyes my way I came a little closer to breaking the rules again… but I didn’t. I couldn’t do that to us. Until one night when we decided to break the rules together. One Earth shattering night together and I knew nothing would ever be the same. Friends, or lovers? I don’t know what we are anymore. The rules no longer apply to us. Now the only question is, can we fix what we had before it’s too late or is our friendship over for good? And all because of one single kiss? **Complete standalone with a happily ever after. Don’t miss out on all the gooey goodness this book has to offer.**

This is the story of Bailey and Elijah. While it is a short story it sure didn’t feel like one. These two are very best friends by one of them has stronger feelings than the other. However one night changes all that and now their friendship just might be ruined. As bad As Elijah wants Bailey he lets her come to him for that night asks her a million times if she is sure. It’s her birthday after all and they have been drinking the entire night. After an amazing night she runs and then ignores him for seven day. Seven long days she ignored his text and now he is mad. Livid. He is also upset that she didn’t tell him she was a virgin. He just assumed she wasn’t Now everything is so messed up. Can these two ever get it right. This is a fast read filled with a dirty mouthed man who wants his best friends as bad as she wants him and I loved reading it.
