Falling for My Best Friend: Complete Box Set

Falling for My Best Friend Serial #1-5

by Sharon Cummin

I was getting ready to turn eighteen and was looking forward to starting my senior year of high school. They say senior year is the best, but I wasn't so sure. Lance Smith, a retired Pittsburgh Pirate, was the most overprotective man I'd ever met. He was also my dad. I was Sammie, his little tomboy baseball player. That was the only way he'd ever see me. My bedroom walls were still covered with scenes he'd painted before I was even born. A picture of him still hung on my wall. The words date, boyfriend, and college all sent him into a crazy speech about his little girl not growing up. He used to joke that I wouldn't be able to date until I was thirty, but I was starting to think it wasn't a joke. I had one goal for the year. That goal was to go to prom. Every girl went to prom. It was the most important night of high school. My dad would surely have to let me go to that, right? When my parents told me that James Reid was moving into our house, I wasn't sure how I felt. They were so excited, especially my dad. James had finally agreed to sign on with the Pirates. He was a pitcher just like my dad. The thought of having him there to practice with had my dad jumping for joy. While I loved the game and played with him all the time, I'd never be a Pirate. Believe me, If I could, I would. You're probably wondering why James moving in would matter to me at all. He'd never be around. He'd always be with his team. We'd never see each other. James was three years and ten days older than me. We'd spent hours and hours playing ball with our dads growing up. Every time our families visited, we were together the entire time. He was the one person that never judged me. He was the one person that promised he'd always protect me and keep me safe. He was my best friend, he just didn't know it. There was something else he didn't know. I'd had a crush on him since I was thirteen. I would remember that moment forever, the moment that changed it all. James kissed me. It wasn't a big kiss. It was just a tiny moment where his lips touched mine. It was my first kiss. It meant nothing to him, and we never mentioned it again. Something about that tiny moment changed my life. One year, I told myself. I could get through one more year with the most overprotective father in the world. I could get through one year with James Reid living on the other side of my bedroom wall. In one year I'd be off at college and free of all the Pirates. Nothing was going to get in my way.

The whole family dynamic of this story is unbelievable. Lance's over protective character is hilarious and humbling at the same time. Sammie's life isn't easy with the rules her father sets, especially as a senior in high school trying to discover her self. But in that discovery, Sammie seams to get her self in trouble with her best friend saving her. A love story flourishes between two friends that parents never saw coming, drama erupts to its max and boyyyyy is it entertaining! James and Sammie need to take a strong stance in order to prove they belong together even if the closest people to them think otherwise.

I loved this whole series. No matter the time that goes by you can always count on this author to bring a unique spin on most of our childhoods into our adult lives and we are left in wonderment if that could have been one of us. Her books take you to another time and a place just like any book should but she adds a spin.

Happy Sexy Reading

Loved this series!! I had read these as they came out.
You will love the Story of Lance and Sammie. It's a great combination of love, hot as sin sex and frustration. Once I started reading I couldn’t put down.

I loved this little set. Sweet, sassy, sexy, what more could a girl want? Although, to be honest, it did drag it out a bit too long, and it was very mushy in places, but I forgive those flaws for the belter of a story. Loved it :)

So I've made it to the end of this series. Completely full of love in my heart and happiness, but full of bittersweet sadness because it's over.

This series was addictive, heartfelt, sexy and left an indention on my heart forever.

James and Samantha (Sam) were dynamic. There love and dedication for each other drew us in from the day they were born, to the moment their love become reality.

So many moments made me love them. Their humour, stubbornness, their witty texts, that bedroom wall, the hotel, the barn dance, the baseball games, the dorm room, the apartment, and last but not least their family dynamic.

My love, my feelings for this series cannot be put into words because it was just THAT good. You became a part of this couple, and part of their family. You forgot you were just a reader. In your mind, you were part of their family. You cared, you hurt, you laughed, got angry, become sad, and jumped for joy!!! But mostly you smiled!!

Five stars!!!! I highly recommend this series. You must read it or you truly will miss out on a fabulous reading experience.

I voluntarily agreed to read an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
