ONCE UPON A SURE THING – A Lauren Blakely Review & Excerpt Reveal

img_2011

Turning friendship to romance is never easy. Especially when you mix in business. Still heartbroken over no longer playing and touring with his brothers, Miller Hart fills his days with endless fun and music. Trying to find the freeing feeling he had onstage isn’t easy. His older brother had the blessing of another onstage persona and his younger brother still tours. As the middle child, Miller is stuck on which way to lean. When I brilliant idea is suggested and he goes on the search for the perfect female voice to match his.

Ally’s been a duo with her brother for as long as she can remember, but now that he’s moving to a new city, her chance to break out on her own has never been more obvious. Voice acting and singing are her two passions, but she’s tired of being seen as the sweet and innocent young voice of the YA generation. When Her best friend Miller announces his plan to find his first ever steamy female counterpart, a plan formulates. But can two friends, filled with laughter and light, go to the dark side? Business with pleasure is never a good idea but what happens when the business IS pleasure?

Blakely has her signature wit and charming lines for our second Hart brother. I love a good friends to lovers romance but I had a hard time connecting to Miller for some reason. Don’t get me wrong, he’s cute and funny and all around a fun guy but the slow burn was a bit too slow for me after the flash bang heat from his older brother in book 1. Now Ally I really liked, she’s take charge in a refreshing way. She takes her own strengths and turns them in to her newest allies. Don’t let my disconnect fool you; Miller and Ally have undeniable chemistry obvious from the start. The will they or won’t they is addicting. But it’ll take more than just two friends to make this romance have it’s HEA with a surprise happy twist!

It’s so easy being best friends with a gorgeous, talented, charming guy.

Said no woman ever. Except me.

My friendship with Miller is a sure thing — he’s my plus one, my emergency contact, and my shoulder to lean on. He’s also been by my side helping me raise one helluva awesome kid who’s the center of my world.

Nothing will change our easy breezy friendship. Until I have the bright idea to convince him to start a new band with me.

Trouble is, our sizzling chemistry in the recording studio is getting harder to ignore, no matter how risky it might be.

***

Sing sexy songs with the woman you’ve been lusting after? Get up close and personal as you croon to the woman you’ve wanted for years?

Piece of cake.
NOT.

Performing with the sweet, sassy and insanely wonderful Ally is like one gigantic obstacle course of challenges for my libido. And my libido is one sexy love song away from kissing her senseless and taking her home.

But, I’m not a serious kind of guy, and she’s not a one-night-stand kind of woman. If we cross the horizontal line, we might risk our sure thing and end up out of tune forever…

Excerpt OUASTLB.png

~Miller~

She sings like a sinner. She sings like an angel. She sounds like whiskey and sugar. I’ve only ever known her for her church-bell voice, but now she’s a glorious mix of dirty and sweet, and I never knew she had it in her.

But I can’t marinate in this change-up. It’s showtime for me.

Grabbing the mic, I dive into my first line as I gaze into those blue eyes of my friend. Only I have to think of her as Honey, so I sing to the new woman about how I can’t do without her, how I need her now.

Something is in the air between us when we sing, something charged. Something that hasn’t been there before. Stage chemistry.

I move closer as if I’m drawn by the pull of gravity that I have no control over. We lock eyes and everyone else fades away. I’m still in shock that I’m loving singing a song with my best friend.

That’s what terrifies me. Especially since we sound good together, and we move well together.

Maybe we even look good together, as we belt out this hot-as-fuck duet, and for the first time we’re not butchering a holiday tune or destroying “Total Eclipse of the Heart” at karaoke. As she moves closer to me, we sing the final chorus like it’s going out of style, and when the music softens, I can’t resist. I finger a strand of her blonde wig, the coconut scent from her lotion floating into my nose.

Reluctantly, I let the hair fall.

Clapping rings loud in my ears.

Jackson, Miles, and Campbell give a standing O. Jackson holds up his phone, pointing to it, letting me know he caught it on video.

“Chemistry,” the guys all shout, practically in unison.

But I’m not supposed to have chemistry with my best friend.

That’s the problem.

“What the hell just happened here?” I whisper to Ally, befuddled.

Her mouth opens, and her eyes go wide, and she blurts out, “I have an appointment. I need to go.”

She takes off, leaving in her wake a trail of chemistry and coconut and confusion.


“This book was HOT. Sizzling. The build up, the banter, just everything about these two is amazing. The anticipation was killing me. And when they’re together? Holy moly wow, hot as hell!” Escape into a BookSite
