Genres: Young Adult, Contemporary Romance
My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
Ellie Carmichael had a crush on Adam Sutherland, her brother, Braden’s, best friend, for years, and although Adam treated her with proprietary concern he made it clear he thought of her only as a little sister.
Over the years, as Ellie’s crush develops into love, her romantic idealism makes it difficult for her to move on. To make matters worse, as she’s gotten older, Adam’s attitude has changed toward her. His affection for her is now joined by attraction, but his loyalty to Braden, and his fear of losing the only family he has, stops him from claiming Ellie the way she wishes he would.
But one night his attraction is put to the test, and as much as Adam would like things to remain the same everything changes between them in a simple brush of the lips.
Soon lust, love, jealousy and heartbreak combine to force change upon their relationship… and Adam discovers the hard way that life is too damn short to spend it on regret.
My Thoughts
Short and Sweet...
Samantha Young has offered this as a free read if you provide proof of pre-order of her upcoming Down London Road.
I read On Dublin Street and fell in love with Adam and Ellie. I'm a total sucker for guy and best friend's little sister theme stories. So I was excited to get this and finished it in one day. This is a short novela and I loved the premise of this story, the present time of Adam and Ellie revisiting their past through Ellie's journal.
I liked seeing the consistence of Ellie's feelings for Adam over the years and it hurt me to see Adam with other girls. I felt Ellie's frustration because Adam was sending mixed signals to her. Anyway, Adam did redeem himself at the end but I wish the book was longer. :-)
This story was great as we get to see how Ellie and Adam finally came together after years of fighting the pull drawing them together!
I cannot wait for Down London Road to be release! >_<
