If you love stories about friends being each other's true love, this is it." --Reader4life, ARC Reader Review  "I'm a fan of friends to lovers romance. I knew Elly and Kent would eventually get together (as friends to lovers books do) but, their journey was amazing. I felt for Elly in her failed relationships and loved her continued devotion to Kent even when he didn't deserve it. If you love friends to lovers romance give these two books a try. You won't be disappointed." --ARC Reader Review (Kindle Customer) "This series is awesome!" --ARC Reader Review  (Timberlee) "Elly has bigger balls than me! I love how close as friends they are and even as time passes it's like none has really passed at all." --ARC Reader Review (Heather B.) "I was 100% into this book. I loved it. But I hated it as well. I love the fact that I was so caught up in it. I couldn't stop reading." --DIZNEECE, ARC Reader Review  "The book was awesome and I love the dips and turns of the story. Can't wait to see what happens next." --DJ, ARC Reader Review  "Loved this book... when I started reading I couldn't put it down. My first thought was I already know the ending. I was surprised, it was not the ending I thought. This is not your typical love story. There are twist and turns everywhere. The characters are well developed. You find yourself rooting for them." --Michelle, ARC Reader Review

Fans of Monica Murphy and JS Cooper will love this sexy standalone from the #JustFriends series! Jump right in and get lost in the incredible journey of the recovering alcoholic rocker, Rio, and the woman who loves him. So...if you saw a hot guy in a bar, a guy who made you wet with just a look, would you have the guts to approach him? I did.  And I was surprised to find him single and smart and damn near perfect. And all I wanted was one night. And he gave that to me. And more. The closer I got, the more I discovered how deep he ran and how much pain he'd had to endure. We were quickly becoming fast friends ... more than friends.  That is until I found out his darkest secret. A secret that caused a terrible twist of fate. If you saw a hot guy at his lowest, would you have the guts to fight for him? I did. Warning: There are alcohol, drug abuse and sexual assault triggers within this book.   Reviewers say... "This story was a mass of contradictions. It was fun and hot. It was sad, emotional and raw. It was full of hope, but showed the worst. Put this one up with those emotional roller coaster rides." -Alpha Book Club Review "There's a lot more to the book than just romance and the overall theme is about healing and progress. I really enjoyed the book and the fast pace." -NetGalley Reviewer, Olivia "The book was heart breaking as well as heart melting." - Danielle, Goodreads Reviewer "Be ready for a story with lots of drama in this seductive tale." -Arlena, Goodreads Reviewer "You could really feel the connection." -Erin, Goodreads Reviewer "It's an exhausting, emotional, but it's a beautiful love story." -Erin, Goodreads Reviewer "A good plot with hidden parts and a solid feeling of reality. Well done." -Jan, Goodreads Reviewer "I laughed, I cried, I laughed and cried even more. I enjoyed Waiting and found it to be a touching and sweet romance. Nicely done Ms. Cole!" -Katina, Goodreads Reviewer
