FRIENDLY FIRE by Morgan James

 

Release Date: May 31

Claire

Ever since I lost my boyfriend to a car accident five years ago, I haven't let myself get close to anyone. But that's okay, because my best friend Gray more than makes up for it.

Then the dreams start. Each night my head hits the pillow, it's his face I see, his arms I feel wrapped around me. Though I try to hide my feelings, it gets harder every day. The one man I desire most is the one I can't have.

I'm in love with Grayson Thorne... And he can never know.

 

Grayson

I knew I wanted Claire the moment we met. She wasn't ready for a relationship then, so I waited patiently. Bided my time. For two years we've been best friends; we do everything together—except the one thing I really want from her. But I've seen the way she's been watching me recently. I know she feels the shift between us, and I'm ready to make her mine.

 

Unfortunately, someone else has Claire in their sights, too. The incidents start small—a misplaced memento here. A hang-up call there. But when things go from bad to worse, I'll do everything in my power to protect her… Because Claire is my best friend. The love of my life. My everything.

 

Friendly Fire is a small-town, friends-to-lovers romantic suspense full of thrills, a dash of humor, and all the feels. 

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

Friendly Fire is the first book in the Rescue and Redemption series by Morgan James.  This was a new-to-me author and I found it to be well written, paced perfectly, with plenty of depth.  I love small-town romances and friends-to-lovers books and with the addition of intrigue and humor; this was the perfect book for me.

Claire had lost her college boyfriend in a car accident and after that, she quit dating and letting people close.  She was content with her life until she starts having dreams about her best friend Grayson.  She wants more than friendship now but fears losing his friendship.

Grayson had fallen for Claire when he met her, but she had turned him down.  So, he became her best friend and waited for her to be ready for a relationship.  After several years of friendship, he works up the nerve to tell her about his feelings.  Only things don’t go as planned and now her life is in danger.

I am so glad I discovered this author and had a chance to read this book.  I enjoyed meeting all the characters and watching Grayson and Claire’s relationship change from friends to lovers.  I look forward to reading future books in the series.  

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
