Every now and then you read a book that although maybe not be perfect, is perfect for you. That's what Friend-zoned was for me.Finally a book where sexual tension drove the story. There was no falling instantly into bed. No cornering someone up against the wall. No I love you's 3 days into the relationship. Nope this was about friends. And not just Tina and Nik's friendship. No we're introduced to several characters. Trust me when I say you'll love them all. You will! They were honest and believable and you really felt like you were hanging out with them whenever they were together.Ultimately, this story is about Tina and Nik and their friendship. Neither wanted anything more and I was ok with that. It was so refreshing. The way the two of them interacted was word porn at its best. I was salivating for more no I was panting for more LOL. I devoured this book. I knew there was a very good strong possibility they would end up together but I didn't care it was the journey for me.I could complain about some things because there were some editing issues and some of the internal dialogue had me rolling my eyes. But it was so easy to overlook all of that because the guts of the story were so great. Anyway I'd rather talk about the stuff that made me laugh.Nik of course was delicious. Well I'm assuming by Tina's description of him he was quite tasty and easy on the eyes. Here is one of Tina's quotes."Not many men could pull off looking manly in lilac. But he's just that awesome.""When I mention the last bit, I feel Nik's body stiffen so solid I'm sure he's turned to bronze. Nik would look great as a bronzed statue."This book reminded me of Kristen Ashley whom I'm not embarrassed to say that I love and want to marry if only I could convince her and my husband. It's a huge compliment to be compared to KA. I can't wait to read more of Ms. Aurora's writing.
