I've never read a book by Ms. Mercy Amare so when I won an ARC of this book and her new release, Ali, I had no idea what to expect. Let's just say I'm now a new fan of Ms. Amare's books!!Charlotte York, Char, is a high school senior from Malibu, California, who's just moved to New York City to live with her Dad. Just because she was photographed by the paparazzi smoking weed, she has to move away from all her friends. Did I mention her older sisters are actresses? Char doesn't want anything to do with their lifestyle so why are they photographing her!!Char loves to surf and will miss surfing everyday with her BFF, Aaron. Living with her Dad, who has been absent from her life except for monthly dinners and visits in the Summer, is going to be interesting. Char's mother wants Char to be an actress or model like her sisters but Char has dreams of going to college after she graduates.Once in NYC, Char meets Christian Becker, who happens to attend the same private prep school that she does. Christian takes her to a school party and it's there that she meets Tristan, Christian's hot older brother. Tristan immediately stakes his claim on Char, but won't let their relationship progress until Char figures out if she has more than feelings of friendship for her BFF because Tristan is sure Aaron is in love with Char. Tristan and Char start hanging out together and become very good friends but Char can't wait until they take their friendship further.The sexual tension between Char and Tristan was putting my panties in a twist. I must say that when these two do finally get between the sheets, it was well worth the wait!! It was beautiful and sizzling all at the same time.All in all this was a sweet coming of age story minus the usual drama that goes with YA/NA genre which I loved!! Thank you Ms. Amare for crafting such a great story. I'm looking forward to reading Christian's fall from being a playboy in Ali!!***A gifted copy was provided from author in exchange for an honest review.***
