Gray doesn’t make friends with women. He has sex with them. Until Ivy.
The last thing star tight-end Gray Grayson wants to do is drive his agent’s daughter’s bubblegum pink car. But he needs the wheels and she’s studying abroad. Something he explains when she sends him an irate text to let him know exactly how much pain she’ll put him in if he crashes her beloved ride. Before he knows it, Ivy Mackenzie has become his best texting bud. But then Ivy comes home and everything goes haywire. Because the only thing Gray can think of is being with Ivy.
Ivy doesn’t have sex with friends. Especially not with a certain football player. No matter how hot he makes her…
Gray drives Ivy crazy. He’s irreverent, sex on a stick, and completely off limits. Because, Ivy has one golden rule: never get involved with one of her father’s clients. A rule that’s proving harder to keep now that Gray is doing his best to seduce her. Her best friend is fast becoming the most irresistible guy she’s ever met.
Which means Gray is going to have to use all his skills to get himself out of the friend zone and into Ivy’s heart. Game on
You know the rare times you open a book, the stars line up, the words are perfect and you fall in love? Well that is what happened to me with this book. It was love at first line.
First lines in books are so important; it is often the hook, line and sinker for many readers. I am a big fan of great first lines. I also love a great first paragraph, or in this case I loved the first text. *swoon* I was a goner with the use of Lilliputian. (Oh Gray baby, talk nerdy to me!)
When I happen upon a GREAT, AWESOME, FABULOUS book that I absolutely adore, I dance a happy dance and make it my mission to share it with the world!
The Friend Zone was everything I love in Romance!
Fun and sexy banter. Complex, yet, relatable characters. It was the perfect mix of sweet and sexy! This is one of those books you can read over and over again and still laugh when it is funny, still cry when things go bad and still swoon at Gray and his sweet shenanigans .
Gray and Ivy have great chemistry from the beginning, they just mesh so well it is easy to fall in love with them. They are great at being best friends yet, you find yourself wishing they could be more.
I really enjoyed this book, it was smart, witty and fun!
I am now going to read The Hook Up since I am late to the Kristen Callihan party but better late than never!

“The fact is, Ivy, for me, there is one absolute truth. The sum of my existence equals you.”
You’ve owned me from ‘Shenanigans,’ Ivy Mac.
Thank you Nina Bocci for an ARC of The Friend Zone in exchange for an honest review.
