Stormie and Kade have been best friends for six years–six years of lingering touches, loaded glances, and unbearable tension masquerading as friendship. When her car breaks down on a remote back road during a violent rainstorm, Kade comes to her rescue. Alone together all weekend without cell service and nowhere to run, the pretending finally ends. He’s done waiting.
He’s possessive, commanding, and absolutely intent on making it clear that she’s his. Six years of restraint comes crashing down in raw, explicit ways. But when the weather clears up and reality creeps back in, one question Can they survive this in the real world or are they only brave enough during stormie nights?
Stormie & Kade have been best friends for 6 years, but at some point there is a shift. They start to look at each other through different eyes, scared that if they verbalize it things would never be the same. They’ve done everything but cross those lines, until a storm and one weekend away in a cabin with nothing but time and silence. I could feel the tension, the stolen glances, the holding of breaths, til Kade decided he will no longer be afraid and finally spoke his truth. I enjoyed this, had the right amount of build up to the spice. Once they let it out they couldn’t stay off each other, Kade was all in and ready to give her the world, no confusion. Look forward to an update on them later on.
I’m looking for me a Kade in the sun with a flashlight.! He didn’t let up on my girl. I’m trying to see what that kind of tension looks like in real life.!
Thee Tasha Marie really writes the best novellas. They are always so good that you end up wishing for more, and that is how you know she’s a great writer! Can we please talk about the chemistry between Storm and Kade? The buildup and the anticipation they had for each other was everything. The love, the lust, the passion, and all those kisses in between had me hooked. I loved the claiming and that "I’m going to take care of everything because you’re mine" energy. And look, we cannot forget the BDE in those gray joggers! This friends to lovers trope will literally have you squeezing your thighs. I loved everything about Stormie and Kade’s story. Maybe in the future we’ll get an update with some wedding bells and a positive pregnancy test!
Singing if I was your best friend. I want you 'round all the time (I want you 'round me all the time). I really enjoyed this read. Storm realized quickly that being trapped in a cabin during a thunderstorm can get a lil steamy. Kade handled Storms mind, body, soul, thoughts and everything in between. Stormie and Kade weathered the storm and probably made those twins against the wall lol. Six years of being besties with stolen glances, unspoken feelings, loving touches and if you call I’m coming energy…. Yeahhhhhh go read it.
One thing Thee Tasha Marie gonna do is pen a NICE AND JUICY EROTICA! She never disappoints me ! When I say Stormie & Kade really had a TIME, that’s what 6 years of denial will do to you. The way Kade was in a whole DOM mode & Stormie was just compliant with everything that man was telling her had me HOT in a GOOD WAY! Kade stood right on business & yeah made it know what it was! Like I said I need a physical copy for my shelf it was THAT GOOD!
SIX YEARS KADE & STORMIE HAD BEEN BESTIES. BOTH PRETENDING THAT THEIR NOT IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER, AFRAID OF LOSING THE FRIENDSHIP THEY’VE BUILT IF THEY DECIDED TO CROSS THE LINE AND THINGS DIDN’T WORK OUT. THEIR WEEKEND IN KADES FAMILY CABIN WAS NEEDED. IT TRULY GAVE THEM TIME TO BE HONEST ABOUT THEIR TRUE FEELINGS AND BEGIN TO EXPLORE WHAT COULD BE. KADE WAS VERY INTENTIONAL AND LET OUT BE KNOWN THAT HE WANTED FOREVER WITH HER AND NOTHING WOULD CHANGE ONCE THEY RETURNED HOME.
Man, I love when a book Leaves me wanting more. Kade and Stormie’s relationship started off for 6 years a friendship, but with a storm coming in, that friendship quickly turns into something else…something deeper and will change their dynamic drastically. This book left me mad that it was over (my kind of book), but I do want to know after Kade left Stormie spent for 2 days, did he get his twins 🤔?
6 years of friendship and one weekend away at the cabin to celebrate Kade’s birthday led to a blossoming relationship. This was a quick erotica 🔥 Enjoyed this! Stormie and Kade weathered the storm and now they are an item. They finally decided to stop fighting themselves.
Idk, I may have to move this friends to lovers trope up in my list lol. That man said, the time is now! He was pretending anymore and my girl just fell in line.. Love that for them.. It was him already having the future planned out for them 🥰😍. Also, I agree with them readers, I need that wedding, move in, and baby on paper, babe 🙏🏾🫶🏽🤞🏽😩
It was real, raw, sexy and very erotic. Kade and Stormie decided to let the chips fall where they may and the landing was beautiful. Six years of desires, passion, fantasies played out over the course of a weekend…feelings and emotions made this a heck of a book that I didn’t want to put down. Loved it.
Ha, this was a fun quick read. I love a good friends to lovers romance where the male is direct after getting a feel of what the female is thinking.
Kade said what he said and Stormie had to just deal with it. He wanted my girl in her soft girl era. The way he handled her technically she was a pool of goo. He was counting them out.
A cool 98 pages full of smut … but left me with questions. Not in a bad way though.
The only thing I wanted to know was their family & friends reactions. (I think they would’ve all been happy & said “finally”.) If Stormie actually got over her overthinking & how Kade told Kendra off.
Now that’s how you do a friends to lovers romance book. Stormie and Kade just needed the right time and place to take their 6 year friendship to the next level. I love how the author didn’t waste no time with the fawking! Tashaaaa be giving the readers what they want lol!
Friends to Lovers 🧑❤️💋🧑 Close Proximity 🫂👫 Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Short and very spicy. Friends to lovers. 6 years of platonic. 6 years of frustration, sexual tension, longing. 6 years until the pipes burst and the idea of “what if” is tested. Thats how Stormie and Kade’s story goes. I wish we got a continuation. Maybe a baby. Maybe a wedding. I just loved them.
Kade and Stormie have been best friends for six years, while withholding their feelings for the other. On a stormy weekend feelings were brought to the surface, and it was on! Kade was not playing with Stormie in that cabin. Sis got turned every which way but loose! 😜🥵 He got his woman and is ready for everything that comes with it. Cute friends to lovers read.
Friends to lovers romance 💘! There was definitely a lot of spice and loving through the pages! This short story delivered what Thee Tasha Marie is great at creating love stories!
This friends to lovers romance for Stormie and Kade was a really good steamy read. I know we were informed that the book was going to be a quick, hot book but it really needed an epilogue in my opinion.
I don’t think there is a book from The Tasha Marie that I haven’t loved. Best friends who decided to take that leap. The chemistry was already there, they just needed a push…and Kade pushed.
As always this book was well written and a wonderful short story. Two people who have been best friends for years finally give love with each other a chance. Love this. Good short read
Not much of a story, he picks her up n the rain, they get it on all weekend .. not much else.. couldn’t stand the wannabe thug talk, made them sound like teenagers.. Lacked substance for me, the babies comment is a complete turn off, after one weekend together yeah right! Was off..
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
It’s funny how they say men and women can’t be platonic friends… this is one example of that. Both of them secretly in love with their “best friend” and hid it for years!!! Glad love won in the end. Thee Tasha Marie did not disappoint with 🌶️🌶️🌶️!
I love a good friends to lovers story !! Stormie and Kade were on fire!! Tasha knows how to draw you in and keep you completly enthralled with her characters , and wanting more of them at the end!
4.5 Kade handled business and did not play about Stormie. A weekend in the cabin allowed them both to confront their feelings. Would like to see an update with these two in the future.
