*BIG FAT FREAKING WARNING ON THIS BOOK*DO NOT DRINK OR EAT WHILE READING THIS BOOKOkay...This morning at 3:02am my computer pings to let me know I have received a message.  I mess around finishing the set up to start my goal for the night.  I wanted to write 10,000 words by the time I went to bed.  Once I was set and ready to go, I brought up my Facebook and about fell over.  Sitting in my email was an ARC copy of one of the books I have been dying to read!  I was seriously shocked.  I squealed causing my husband to check on me LMAO!!!  I started reading immediately.Okay so yeah you aren't reading this for my excitement LOL  So the book:Friend-Zoned Synopsis:Nikolai Leokov never thought he'd fall in love with the only girl he's ever befriended.Valentina Tomic has issues with commitment after the ultimate betrayal.When Tina decides to make broody Nik's day better, she never thought she would end up friends with the hard man.Nik has never had a woman be so affectionate to him without expecting something in return.Nik and Tina cordially invite you to read Friend-zoned.A story of friendship, humour and love.I want to point out at the end of the synopsis it says HUMOR...well I am telling you what some parts had me laughing so hard my sides were hurting and tears were falling down my face.  Hence my warning at the top of the page.  I spent a good while cleaning up red juice and making sure my computer survived and my couch wasn't stained.  Anyway...This book carries your through the life of Nik and Tina.  Their struggles with past pain and struggles to move past and the overwhelming love for those around them.I immediately loved Tina.  Her pain...God!  It tore at me and I cried with her...for her...  It was hard to do anything else when she finally revealed the hurt.  I will never look at the song "Impossible" without picturing Tina standing by her friends singing her pain.  That part tore me to the core!  My heart ached for her.  Tina was relatable and real.  Her turmoil was real and not a drama queen off on her high horse.Nik...Le sigh (hehehe)....I don't know what to say about him other than *sigh*  I really have nothing to bad to say about him.  There were a few parts where his skepticism got the better of him and he made an ASS out of himself and I didn't like him very much, but he redeemed himself...and I was not wanting to smack the s*** out of him anymore.This story killed me with laughter and tears and heart string yanked....not pulled yanked!  FREAKING yanked right out of my chest tied in a pretty little bow and handed back to me on platter that said... "Yeah I just did that to you.  Signed, Belle Aurora"  I found myself saying "Son of a..." and "Freaking A".I would love to put quotes in here of my favorite parts, but I won't because I do not want to give anything away and some of my favorite parts would be spoilers and I don't want to do that.OVERALL:This book is amazing from start to finish you are pulled through each word by word, sentence by sentence, page by page.  At first I am laughing myself to tears, then I am holding my chest for their pain and back to laughter.  I swooned and sighed so much at Nik that I think I almost passed out.  He wasn't always perfect and sometimes pretty scary, but that made me love him even more.The realness behind this story is what kept me interested and the characters and storyline is what captured me.  I will recommend this book to anyone that I talk to.  This is the first book from Belle Aurora and I am 100% a fan.  I look forward to reading her next book.  If it is not already on there you need to add this to your TBR lists...Just a few more days folks.My day was completely made by being able to read this book.  Be on the lookout for Belle Aurora....I sense all wonderful thing to come from her!
