Date: 01 24, 2014
Complimentary copy provided by author/publisher for an honest review.Emily Dilbert and Dylan Chamberlain are best friends and sophomores in college together. Emily has been dating Dylan's older brother Zach for 5 years and Zach is the star quarterback at another college. One weekend while Zach is visiting Emily, he asks for Dylan's help in hiding an engagement ring for her. At this point, Dylan realizes that he and Emily will always be friends. The same night that Zach leaves to go back to school, Emily asks Dylan for help hanging curtains. His cell phone rings while he is gone to the store for her and she fishes it out of his backpack. She also finds the ring and thinks that it belongs to Dylan. This is where the fun begins; Emily enlists her roommates to flirt with Dylan to see if he will take the bait. She is trying to keep him from making a "mistake" with the girl that Emily believes is his girlfriend.This is such a sweet and heartwarming read. I was caught when I read the blurb and hooked when I read the sample. The book just seemed to get better and better with each page that was turned. Christy Hayes just simply had me hooked to the words that she wrote and I couldn't tear myself away from her book. I did notice that the cover stated Kiss & Tell Book One so I am hoping that we are going to see more of Emily and Dylan. That was my only complaint about the book was that the ending was a little bit elusive. I fell in love with all of the characters and just wanted to read more about them.I will definitely be reading more by this author and can't wait until more books come out in this series.
