2.5 Could have been awesome Stars
Best friends to lovers is one of my fav
kind of reads. Lucy and Aiden are best
friends, have been for years. They
know and accept everything about
each other.
Lately Lucy finds that she is feeling
more that friendly and starts to
wonder if Aiden could ever reciprocate
her feelings. Now, during this time
Aiden has a girlfriend and is realizing
for himself that there just MIGHT be
something more to Lucy and his
relationship.
I had a few problems with this book.
The writing was rather juvenile and that
gave my reading of it a choppy flow.
I found myself wanting to skim, and
I NEVER skim!! I wasn't too sure of
Aiden as boyfriend material. He comes
across extremely shallow and I never
really got into him. Lucy was a bit immature.
Then, it ends.... and I realize that this is part
of a series. I just don't know if I am interested
enough to read more.
There is one thing that I wish the author
would have delved into more, and I
am sure she does eventually. But Lucy
has a secret and I think if that were
explored and Aiden found out there
could be some really sweet scenes,
and if it would have been in this
book, I would have definitely read the
rest of the series. As of now, I am meh
on it. Too many books, too little time!!

OMG!!!!!
I couldn't put this book down! I was on the edge of my seat the entire book. I can't believe how this entire book consumed me!
I mean really....I so need Adien in my life right now! I am totally digging this series and I can't believe how book two was.
I mean I am like 5 seconds away from enrolling in this certain dating site.
The way he was flirting with her....was enough to say Fudge every other book boyfriend!
Hazel Kelly what are you doing to me???? How can you end book two...I need three like 5 minutes sgo.
This is my new favorite series.... It is so damn good and I can't get enough.

I was given an ARC copy for an honest review.
As a fan of Hazel Kelly already this book did not disappoint.
Book 2 picks up the story of best friends Lucy and Aiden and will they or won't they get together.
I'm not telling!!!!!
Is Aidens girlfriend still in the picture?
Still not telling, you'll need to read the book and find out and its definitely worth reading
I can't wait for the third book in the Fated Series to be released.

Big surprise!! Another five stars for Hazel Kelly. She has the talent of putting together these short, jam packed stories. I love the style! I am officially in love with Aiden!! Very anxious to read the next in this series.
Who wouldn't want to end up with their best friend?? These two have basically experimented around the world, and obviously need each other...We will see!!

So I read the first book in the series, and I had mixed emotions but liked it enough to continue. I will say I did like this book, but it suffers from most of the last problems of the last book. It's still really short, and I can use this series for in-between longer reads but it takes me under an hour to actually read it.
I will say I am a bit disappointed in Aiden, yeah he finds himself attracted to his best friend, but it seems like he stopped caring about Lucy as a person and now just wants to have some naughty time. Lucy, on the other hand, is right to have reservations, she has some baggage that I won't spoil so she's worried about Aiden finding out about it. BUT SHE ALSO IS THINKING ABOUT THEIR FRIENDSHIP.
Aiden just seems like a horndog and just keeps pushing Lucy. Sometimes it is cute and other times it's kinda creepy. I'll continue to read it but I really hope his attitude gets better. Think with your big brain Aiden please!

Oh Aiden
Aiden has finally wised up and broke up with Chelsea . Now that he has time on his hands, he realizes he’s been dating high maintenance models and what he really wants is someone who makes him happy, makes him laugh, someone like Lucy.
Aiden invited Lucy over after a night of drinking but the urge to kiss Lucy is overpowering, so he does. Now he wants more but Lucy is still afraid that if they have more, they won’t stay friends if anything goes wrong. Can’t wait to start the next book,

3✨
Synopsis ~ Lucy and Aiden have been best friends since they were kids.
So Lucy's had plenty of practice ignoring his handsome features, athletic body, and wicked sense of humor, which is for the best. After all, they've been in the friend zone so long there's no hope of escaping it.
At least, that's what Lucy keeps telling herself...
Thoughts ~ Five short books to complete a story. I needed something quick and short to get over a bit of a reading slump. Not the most amazing book I've ever read but something that I needed!

I got the first two books some time back and didn’t realize that there were 5 books in this series. (I can’t stand it when and author splits up a book into chapters and sells them as novellas) This read as a chapter to me. It had a beginning introduction and the starting of a plot and then just stops. Guess what… though, I liked the story (as a whole) Friends to lovers stories are one of my favs.

Swoon Worthily Charming and Funny!
If this isn't one of THE best, best friends to lovers book I've read I don't know what is. The characters are amazing, I liked the fact that the author mixed serious issues in with the flirty and charmingness of the book. I love love love LOOOOOVE the text messages between the main characters, it literally has you hooked after every page, I can't wait for the next book!😍😍😍❤❤❤

Annoying
The story itself is pretty good. However, its annoying how they hook you with a free book in the series and then the following books are a little over 100 pages and get more expensive with each book.
If it was just one book, it would be good. But not worth the trouble or money of buying one every every 125 pages.

Too short to keep reading. Maybe if all the books were .99. But not even a steamy romance. But the book is well wrote but the author is greedy & basically gives you chapter s at a time. I'm not paying $2.99 for not even an hour worth of reading.

I enjoyed this story, it wrapped itself up nicely and left you interested enough to read more of this series without feeling as if it stopped on a cliffie.
Note: I haven't read Fated #1 but I don't feel that I have missed anything out storywise.

“Well, I lied. On the contrary, I have every intention of doing it again”
Best quote of the book and I wish a man would tell me this. I love how he puts it all out there with no regrets. I really like these two characters but when he said this I was totally on his side and rooting for him

Addicting
This series is get to getting so good! I literally can't stop reading. It would be so awesome to see this series turned into a movie because it's so so good and I would buy all the dvds.

A good read following on from the first book. However I do think these books could have been rolled into 2-3 books rather than 5 separate mini stories as they are all following the same storyline.
This one was a little bit spicier than the first one.
I like the fact that it’s a dual POV.

Good build up... I'm just not getting how they are best friends; they don't seem that close to me.

Learning to love the series
It's a great series I am enjoying it, just not used to the short length books like this...keeping up with the next book though.

Too short
These books are great but they should have been one long book. I’m glad they’re on kindle unlimited otherwise I probably wouldn’t have wasted any money reading them.

I love every single thing about this series. There’s so much depth to it than I realized. I can’t wait to see what’s next for Aiden and Lucy.
