Drake Savage has always done the right thing, especially where beautiful and fiercely determined Serena Mallery is concerned-even when it means keeping his feelings for her to himself. Serena has always wanted more than what their small town of Wellfleet, Massachusetts has to offer, and Drake's roots are so deeply entrenched in the Cape, it's all he can do to watch her pack up her life and move away.
Serena has always had big dreams. As a teenager she dreamed of becoming an interior designer and marrying smart, musically inclined, sexy-as-sin Drake Savage. Now she's finally landed a killer job with a top interior design firm, but though she has spent the last four years working side by side with Drake, he's never made a move. Four years is long enough for her to accept reality, and her new job in Boston is the perfect way to move on.
A weak moment leads to sizzling, sensual kisses, opening a door through which they've both been aching to walk. But Serena's determined not to give up her shot at the career she's always dreamed of, and Drake has loved her for too many years to stand in her way. With true love at their fingertips and a world of unstoppable passion igniting between them, can the two star-crossed lovers find their way to their happily ever after?
The Bayside gang is always good for lots of laughs, feel good moments and steamy sexy times and that certainly holds true for Drake and Serena’s story! We’ve obviously seen them and their sexual tension in previous stories, and this one brings them to the forefront and has their life start to be upheaved as Serena makes plans for the future. The characters were well developed and the chemistry was off the charts. The storyline was a little cliche, but it worked so well … she woke up her man!
For four years, Serena Mallery as been working side-by-side with the man that she’s been lusting after since she was in high school. They are the very best of friends, but she wants more so bad she can’t stand it, but Drake is steadfast in friend zoning her. She can’t take it anymore, so when a dream job shows up on the horizon for her, she decides it’s time for her to jump at the chance … even if it means leaving the Cape and heading to Boston!
Drake Savage is just as into Serena as she is to him, but he’s not willing to compromise her dreams and hold her back. He’s a Cape guy through and through and doesn’t ever want to change that, but Serena has always dreamed of making it big in the city and doing great things with her life. He wants that for her … even if it means he’s had to bury his desire for all of these years. But things have a way of changing when turmoil is in the air, and that’s exactly what happens when she announces she’s moving to Boston. He wishes her well, but it’s going to be hard not having her by his side day in and day out … and that pull just might lead to a kiss before she leaves … and that kiss, just might lead to feelings being shared!
oh-so romantic friends-to-lovers romance!
