The Temporary Bride is the second book of The Brides of Holland Springs and I just have to say that I absolutely adored this book!! This book was just perfect in my opinion, it had a bit of drama, playful banter, unrequited love, lots of sexy and steamy moments and of course a love story that will make any hearts flutter. The story of Haven Crawford and Heath Ambrose was a page turner. I couldn't get enough of these two. I will just have to say that Marquita Valentine has truly outdone herself with this book. So if you are looking for a book that was beautifully well done and will give you all the warm fuzzy, then I urge you to go to read The Temporary Bride. On that note, I seriously can't wait for Luke's book.

Zeke is Gable's brother...I'm in love with these brothers. Who protects the one they love no matter what the caused. This is a story about a jock, future NFL, who falls in love with a simple girl name Scarlett. She thinks Zeke is out of her league. Which doesn't stop him from pursuing her. He made it his mission to accept the game, he thinks she's playing. No one will get in his way with what he wants. He knows what he must do to get it. He loves the chase, so why stop? Just because she says she's not interested didn't mean, end of story.

Scarlett, doesn't have the luxury to screw things up at school. She works at a diner as a waitress and takes care her of her Grammy and little brother Lane. So, see her schedule is full. She has no time to date. It's what she tells herself, anyway. Little did she know that one hot jock is after her heart.

It becomes a game to both Scarlett and Zeke, until it wasn't. They deny all they want, but for how long? I love how Zeke wants to provide and protect her. Since her parents aren't in the picture any longer, there are times that I just wanted to get inside my iPad and knock some sense into her. She trusts no one, she put up a wall that Zeke is trying with all his might to break down. The only person she loves dearly are her brother and her Grammy. Once the truth comes out about how Zeke really feels, will she run as far away as she possibly can, from the one and only person whom she thinks will crush her heart into pieces? Once they both get a taste of each other, will there be more of what they thought that was just a, "getting it out of their systems" situation? I truly hope not.

I enjoyed every minute of this book and I can't wait to read about the rest of the brothers story. Thanks for giving me this chance to get to know the Scarlett and Zeke , Harper Bentley. I loved it and I would totally read it again.

A best friend turns lover’s story, that is full of fun and heated moments that will melt your hearts.

Gray is Drew’s (from The Hook Up: Book 1) best friend and a big manwhore. He hooks up with any good looking women that would come his way. Drew isn’t the best friend type, he doesn’t know the first thing about being friends with a woman. To him women are there to have sex with and give him as much pleasure as he pleases. But when one text from Ivy, turned him into a texting bud..he couldn’t help but become the best friend he didn’t know he was capable of being. They got to know each other through text and he couldn’t help but want the best for Ivy. Ivy’s a great girl, a great friend and the only woman he wishes to spend time with. Before Ivy even comes home from studying abroad, his feelings of being a friend goes haywire and all he could think of is Ivy and what they could be together.

What Gray didn’t know was Ivy was having the same exact feelings. But because their friendship means a lot to them both, so both are too afraid to do anything about their feelings. Ivy also swore never to get involved with her father’s client, but with Gray working his magic on her, makes everything really hard for her to stay in the friend’s zone.

Will Gray ever get himself out of the friend zone with Ivy? Or will they stay friend’s, because they are too afraid to ruin the friendship they have? Read and out.

This book is full of heated moments between the two friends, who both try their hardest to keep everything on a friend level. But because of how hot they were for each other, they failed in their attempts over and over. From their unexpected phone sex to their sleepovers, which will for sure keep you hot and wanting more. Gray is for sure sex on a stick, who is full of love and pleasure just for Ivy. Another great read from Kristen Callahan.

It all started with that one text that changed both Gray and Ivy's life forever. Who would've thought that they would become best of friends while being oceans apart from each other? From the texts back and forth, they did not expect that this could make a huge impact on both their lives. As soon as I saw that this is about best friends, turned into lovers, I jumped on it. Loved the building tension in the relationship. They thought they were both good with pretending, but they were both in for a rude awakening.

Gray, was never one to commit when it came to relationships. He has a reputation with the ladies to uphold. Being a football player, came with fame and numerous women who willingly have their ways with him even if only for a night. He sleeps with anyone who has two legs. He's a man whore that needs to be tied down, my opinion. He borrowed his future agent's daughter's car when his car was out of commission, but little did he know that the car came with the one thing he did not expect. Something he never saw coming. The first time he laid eyes on Ivy, all his man whoring ways were thrown out the window.

Ivy, is in London with her mother and on her way to go back home. Something she didn't expect was to actually come eye to eye with the one and only guy whom she became friends with via text, separated by millions and millions of miles away, at the airport. She has been texting almost every single day confiding in him and vice versa. With either her father nor her sister, were able to pick her up at the airport when she arrived in the US, she needed a ride home. What she did not anticipate is to have a hot football player pick her up. Sparks fly when Gray and Liv see each other for the first time. Even though the friendship they both have is new to them, they felt like they've known each other forever. It was an instant chemistry.

Since Ivy isn't one for sleeping with her friend, she fights the nagging feelings she has for Gray. As for him, he cherishes the friendship he found in her and he will fight all his might to not give in to the temptation. Lots of misunderstandings occur during their battle, due to the fact that they are struggling to accept what they truly feel for each other. It may have been so much more than what they agreed on but the question is...How long can they both hold on to this game called "denial"? Will they pursue the relationship as more than friends? Or will they both think that they are better off as best friends? When the lines of friendship begin to get obscured, can two friends deal with the consequences of embarking on a relationship?

If you love best friends to lovers, then you will love Gray and Liv's story. In my opinion, it's better to be friends with someone before turning it into something more. This will make the relationship last since you both know one another, inside and out. True love doesn't come often but when it does, you make sure you hold on tight and never let go. I enjoyed getting to know Gray and Liv. The Friend Zone is one of those books that I would read quite a few times and recommend it. Thanks for giving me a chance to experience this romance of a lifetime.
