This is the 3rd book in the Friends First series.  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment and further understanding of series involvement, I recommend reading the books in order.

Allison and Jared have known each other through her brother.  Jared has stayed away from Allison since her family is basically the only one that he has ever had that truly accepted him.  

Jared is being asked now by Allison to help her be more outgoing and make friends.  She wants his help to know what attracts a man for a woman.  She is sick of sitting on the sidelines while everyone around her has a life.

This was a terrific read!  I think this series is phenomenal and have enjoyed every book!  I love the characters, the banter, and the heat.  Very hot and sweet book.  I give this story a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

One kiss can change your life...

Allison Hall is fed up with being a social outcast. Even at the tech company where she works for her brother and his best friend, Jared, she's the invisible nerdy girl. What she needs is confidence—and that requires a makeover and dating tips. And she knows just the man to help…

Jared Esterly is shocked when Allison asks for his assistance and turns her down, knowing that her brother—his business partner and best friend, Nick—would kill him if he dated her, even if it is just for practice. But when Al’s attempt to make changes on her own fails spectacularly, Jared reluctantly steps in. Things heat up quickly, and soon lessons move from the salon to the bedroom.

When overprotective big-brother Nick discovers Jared is dating Allison, their friendship and business partnership sour. Allison, consumed by guilt, must make a choice: stay with Jared, even though that means ruining his friendship with Nick and possibly his career, or leave the one man who sets her on fire.

She leaned her forehead against his chin, then tilted her head back, parting her lips and inviting him in for another kiss.

 

 

And he wanted seconds. More than he’d ever imagined. The soft blush creeping over her face, the way her breasts strained against her blouse as she tried to regain her breathing only encouraged him. Holy. Fuck. With her it’d be too easy to forget where the hell they were. And he didn’t like an audience. Not now. With Allison, not ever.

 

 

But that didn’t stop him from running his thumb over her bottom lip. For a second he lost sense of where they were when her eyes grew dark and her lashes fluttered gently over her skin. She looked so beautiful, and that protective urge— or maybe he should just call it what is is…lust—overtook him. He couldn’t picture her with anyone but him. Fuck. He didn’t want her with anyone else. Screw Nick. He’d deal with him later.

 

If anyone would teach Allison how to please a man, let a real man do the job.

 

Him.

 

She was ready, so was he. He was willing, and so was she. And they were both adults. “Al, I don’t want you with any of these men.”

 

She sighed, sagging against him. “Are we really going to have this conversation again? I—”

 

He took her mouth in a hard kiss, parting the seam of her lips with his tongue and thrusting inside, swallowing her gasp. She melted against him. He slid his hands down her throat, past her shoulders, and lower still until he curved his arm around her back and squeezed her rear. She smiled into their kiss, and this time he melted. “Do I need to rephrase?” he whispered against her mouth.

 

She shook her head, their mouths still touching. “I really only wanted one man in this room, but I didn’t think he wanted—”

 

“You better be talking about me.” He leaned back just far enough so he could watch the way her emotions flickered across her eyes. Excitement. Uncertainty. Acceptance. She nodded, her lips parted and moist.

 

“Are you telling me—?”

 

 

“I’m telling you I’ve come to my senses. Or lost them completely.”

Book Title: HEALING LOVE

Author: Abby Niles

Release Date: February 15^th

Genre: Contemporary

About HEALING LOVE:

Doctor Ella Watts wants her old life back. Desperately. But the past has returned for its rematch, and going back home—even telling anyone her real name—isn’t an option until she’s confident in her MMA abilities. Personal trainer Lance Black is the man to help her reach her goals. Not only is he toned, muscular, and gorgeous, he’s patient, a great teacher, and willing to treat her like a worthy opponent. Except his size makes her freeze whenever he gets too close. If Ella can’t learn how to overcome her fear of being attacked, she’ll never be able to move on with her life.

Underground fighter Lance Black knows there’s more to the mysterious blonde ninja than a beautiful woman determined to improve her fighting skills. She can best anyone close to her size – man or woman – but insists on working out with him, even though he’s got a good 70 pounds and several inches on her. Despite her reticence, he’s determined to get her to open up so he can help her get over her mental block. And if that means he can get to know her outside the gym, all the better. As long as she never learns his secrets.
