Touch Me: A Best Friend Romance - Book One

by Lucia Jordan

Jenny was looking for the comforting shoulder of a childhood friend, but the blistering attraction she feels toward him is too unsettling for comfort. Jenny Rafter wakes up one bright Monday morning with a boyfriend beside her and a job to look forward to. But two hours later, she is fired from her job, and finds out her boyfriend has withdrawn every last cent of her savings from her bank account. Heartbroken and broke, she calls up her childhood friend for help. She is desperate, and when he asks her to come to New York to stay with him, her worries are allayed. But Jenny is in for a surprise when she sees Cooper Farrell. The sandy-haired, blue-eyed boy she had once played hide-and-seek with is gone, replaced by a breathtakingly gorgeous entrepreneur who makes her stammer and shake in her boots.

Misleading

This is a cliff hanger with no warning at all. The whole book is only 2 days. It is more like a preview than an actual book. I feel like this author wasted my time and played with my emotions. I will never read another book by this author because of this "book"! Thanks for nothing!

An Unexpected Instalove Connection -
I am thrilled I got the chance to read this delightful story with wonderful characters who had amazing chemistry, a lot of drama and some scorching heat to keep you eagerly turning the pages. You will definitely enjoy reading this book, just as much as I did.

I received a copy of this book free and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

Aw

I love stories about long time friends taking their relationship to the next level. Jenny turns to Cooper, her good friend, when her and her boyfriend break things off. As he comforts her, she finds that she is attracted to him. But Cooper is a womanizer and Jenny is just not ready to put her heart out there again, or is she?

Too many exclamation points, the conversation is repetetive, the dialogue read like it had been written by a hamster on crack-all over the place, and worst of all it was read bait to get people to purchase and read the other books in the series, however, this first 'book' is so awfully written I won't do anything of the sort.

[Joycee · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was intriguing. I want to keep reading to get to know Jen & Cooper better. But that was a quick trip to the bedroom (well, coitus interruptus) after 15 years apart ... then again, they had pretty much grown up together for ten years before that (until he was 13 & she was 12).

the ending was a slap in the face... I knew it was a short 19page book, but wow not much to it. Two stars because I could see what it could become.

I loved this book and the feelings that came with it. It was warm and sweet,

[Danni · Rating 1 out of 5]

Terribly written, horribly out together and just all together a total train wreck.
The characters don't grab you, they're just stereotypical robots with no real personality, the storyline isn't thought out at all, and the writing is so terrible I practically skimmed it looking for redeeming features. Sometimes In romance the actual romance makes up for other crappy aspects but even the romance in this was boring. This doesn't even deserve one star.

[Carien · Rating 4 out of 5]

So not the norm, I was surprised to find the differing dynamics in this - dare I call it a relationship? I really liked both characters at the start and did not see the self-sabotage coming. Departing from the usual relationship flaws, Touch Me explored a different aspect of the insecurities linked with new relationships.
A definite must read - if only so you can shake your head in wonder at the ease with which one can unwittingly sabotage your chances at happiness.

Dos estrellas porque estuvo bien, concuerdo con el resto necesita un editor urgente. La narración en tercera persona se enreda a veces no sé sabe quien está pensando o hablando de un segundo a otro.

Gratis y para completar un challenge, nada más por eso lo termine ;)

This is the second series I've read of Lucia Jordan's novels. Jenny & Cooper's had a sensuous attraction that couldn't be denied! TOUCH ME was a sinful short & simple story about love, attraction and the undeniable pull between them!

[Danni · Rating 1 out of 5]

Free iBook. This is basically the prologue of the next book. And there isn't enough material or written well enough to grab you and make you want to read the others.
