Friends-to-Forever
I enjoyed this cute friends-to-forever story that gets a bit dirty. 🔥 My prom night was nothing like this, I can tell you that. 😘
Ruby and Holden have had a mutual attraction going for what seems like forever but both are too afraid to rock the boat. When the line is crossed... it's everything and more than either could've dreamt.
This is the first book I've read in the Cherry Falls multi-author, standalone series. I'm glad I finally read one of the books. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

A cute little best friends to lovers romance. Tracy Lorraine never disappoints when it comes to romance! And, this quick novella just shows how two best friends can really find their HEA with someone they’ve known since they were kids. It’s a special little love story with two inexperienced seniors in high school that grows sweet and passionate!

Oh boy i loved this sweet friends to lovers story told by both sides by Ruby and Holden. This is completely different to any other book ive read by Ms Lorraine but i think its refreshing that it is. Ruby and Holden are polar opposites. Ruby is shy and very much not part of the in crowd. Whereas Holden is a jock that everyone likes. As neighbours/friends it turns into something more. I genuinely loved this book. It was a cracking read

Loved this book!
What a great, short read. The storyline was sweet and entertaining, with a really small dash of drama. Loved the characters. Best friends turn into lovers. They are adorable together and have great chemistry. Overall a really enjoyable read.

They were written in the stars
This book is about Ruby and Holden. They have been best friends for years. They’re just about to graduate from high school. She thinks he sees her as just one of the guys, and desperately wants more. He too is in love with his best friend, but has no idea what to do about it. Will they risk losing their amazing friendship to make a move – one they’re not even sure will be welcomed?
There are a lot of the typical teenage feelings and dramas. But they weren’t over the top, so they added an enjoyable layer to the story. The main characters were very likeable, and had some close friends and family – as well as ones that were volatile and not conducive to a happy home. And most importantly, Ruby and Holden were there for each other.
It was sweet, funny, steamy and sensual. Their firsts together were beautiful, making me smile big, and warmed my heart. I was a bit disappointed the story ended so soon. I would have been happy to keep reading about them. The decisions and sacrifices he made were incredibly sweet. Her appreciation for them was also a testament to their feelings and true sense of belonging. I give this book four and a half destined stars.

I really loved this story. It was entertaining and enjoyable while including some of the pitfalls of young love. The characters were easy to relate to and likable. We all deserve to have a wonderful mom like Wendy. She was great with supporting her daughter Ruby and the boundaries that they discussed. Wendy was also sympathetic and understanding of the unique issues that Holden was dealing with and offered him a place to escape. Ruby and Holden had been best friends forever. Somewhere along the way, their feelings for each other had grown into more but neither of them believed the other felt the same way. Ruby and Holden were almost polar opposites. Ruby was shy and didn't want to be the center of attention. Holden played football and was one of the popular kids. When they were alone, they were totally comfortable with each other. As they began dealing with graduating and heading off to college, their feelings started to come into play more. Ruby's friend Meg tries to help Ruby and Holden figure out their feelings and drama ensues. I loved how everything worked out. I loved their happy ever after although I would have liked another epilogue further out. I recommend reading this book.

Oh, I have missed Tracy Lorraine’s books. I had to give them up as her writing had become quite dark and was all about hate sex. This, however, is back to the kind of writing that I fell in love with of hers and the reason I’d read every one of her books up until recently.
I wasn’t sure about reading a book from this series at first as I thought I would need to have read the other Cherry Falls books; however, you don’t. This is a completely stand-alone book just set in Cherry Falls.
The relationship between Ruby and Hudson is both sweet and sizzling. They have both loved each other for so long, but their friendship means the world to them, so neither of them wants to make the first move and risk destroying what they already have. Their chemistry literally bounces off the pages, and I had a tear in my eye on a few occasions throughout their story.
I had intended just to start this book last night, but once I was in, I couldn’t put it down and stayed up way past my bedtime to devour and finish it.
A solid five star read, and I really hope in the future Tracy goes back to writing some of these move calming and feel-good stories.

The story of Ruby Rivers and Holden Hampton is as soft as a kiss and as warm as a caress. This first and last love couple are best friends, next door neighbors and inseparable. This is their senior year and, after graduation, Ruby and Holden plan to continue studying at Northwestern with Holden pursuing his football career on a full ride scholarship. Ruby doesn't have quite enough money saved and it looks like she's going to have to defer a year. Their devotion to each other is apparent to most of their friends and family, but the two of them haven't yet divulged how much they feel for the other. The fantasies running through their heads are sweet and feel so real. When they realize that the end of the school year is right around the corner, they need to voice their deep feelings before it's too late. The discovery that their friendship is so much more is the best part of the book. They have a special kind of love; it's a fated love, written in the stars. This story made my heart soar!

Just because they are young does not mean it is not a love for all times
810 Destiny Dr. by Tracy Lorraine is part of the multi-author Cherry Falls Romance series. This is a young adult/high school story about Ruby and Holden. These two have been best friends since forever, but they have also been in love with each other for years. The issue is that neither of them have ever confessed their feelings or crossed that line as they do not want to lose what they already have. Ruby is a shy and quiet young woman while Holden is outgoing and comfortable being with other groups of people, so the opposites of each other. They are in their senior year and getting ready graduate and then move on to college and their lives. But before they do there are some feelings that need to be dealt with and others are willing to help, and push, them to doing it. These two are just too perfect to not be a couple and have the HEA we know that is meant for them.

Oh. My. Goodness! This was just the sweetest friends-to-lovers story that I have a cavity! It's the perfect addition to the Cherry Falls series. Ruby and Holden are couples goals and are so adorable together that they leave you with a happy heart. Ruby is a nerdy, shy girl who is best friends with the popular, musically talented jock. Why would her best friend want her more than any other girl at school? Also, why risk a loving relationship if that leads to them not being friends anymore? Time is running out, and Ruby's best girlfriend sees what the best friends can't see. Her friend, Meg, sets up a situation that not only opens up Ruby's eyes, heart, and self-doubt but lights a fire in to-scared-to-try Holden. This book is the dream I always wished for in high school. Another easily attainable 5-star book from Tracy Lorraine!

Ruby and Holden have been the best of friends for a really long time. They are neighbors and in a lot of ways they are each others protectors and confidantes. They also really care about one another, are attracted to one another and they both want to be more than friends. They both fear the impeding separation that graduating from high school and not both going to college at the same time will have on them. But they have not really talked honestly with one another about what they really want from one another as the story starts. Kudos to her friend Megan who keeps trying to nudge them in the right direction. They have a great foundation in their friendship. Will they stop hesitating so they can have more?

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Ruby and Holden. Ruby knows Holden is the guy every girl wants she is just happy that she has him as her friend even if she believes that is all they can have. Holden has wanted his best friend for as long as he can remember. He is sure though even with his talents he could never have the one woman he wants more than anything. When he learns he is getting a scholarship to his college of choice he is stoked. Especially when he finds out that Ruby made it in to. Ruby knows though she can't go to the college because she doesn't have the money. Can these two find a HEA or will space and distance be the end of them?
Amazing short story. These two will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Most of the time I’m not one to pick up novellas, but I have a select few authors who I’ll make an exception for. Tracy is absolutely one of those authors.
Holden and Ruby have been next door neighbours and best friends for most of their lives. Drawing closer to the end of high school prompts a lot of future changes neither are quite ready for. At the top of that list? The obvious and undeniable love and attraction shared between the two. Well, obvious to the reader but apparently, not to them.
810 Destiny Drive is a friends-to-lovers, high school romance. Where this lacked in length, it made up in abundance of sweet and swoon worthy material. If you’re after a quick, easy and quite frankly, adorable read, then this is for you. The perfect novella to give you a reading breather and leave you with a smile.

810 Destiny Dr is one of the books in the Cherry Falls series. This book is told from dual points of view from Ruby and Holden.
Ruby and Holden are both seniors in high school. They are neighbors and best friends. They both have feelings for each other but don't realize it. Holden has a rough home life and spends a lot of time at Ruby's house. Ruby's father left them so she and her mom are struggling to make ends meet as well.
Will they get together before it's too late? Will their getting together ruin their friendship? I loved both of these characters, and wouldn't mind seeing more of them in the future. They both had a lot to go through to get to where they end up.
This has been one of my favorite Cherry Fall's romances so far because it wasn't an insta love story.

This book makes you swoon!! This is such a different vibe from Tracy's normal but I loved it!
This book was definitely a sweeter romance than the typical and brings out all the feels. This best friend to lovers romance is sweet, endearing, and heart warming. Its not too long but has just the right amount of drama and steaminess. Ruby is sweet and a not one on the in crowd, but not an outcast either. She is definitely the shy type. Holton is the star of high school, the mister popular. However, what you don't expect all the time is how sweet he is. Ruby and Holton have their own connection and have had it for years with them being neighbors. I definitely love their easy friend ship.
I definitely think this is a great book. I think everyone would enjoy this book!

A sweet and sexy friends to lovers from one of my favorite authors... Hell, yeah! Holden and Ruby's love story is set in Chery Falls, a small town. They have known and been friends with each other since they were children then their feelings developed. The story has a little of angsty feeling from Holden's family but mostly it is sweet and when they finally become a couple, it turns to be sweet and steamy. I also like that Holden and Ruby act like a real teenagers. Both their stupid actions and their confusions are understandable. Lately, Lorraine have created a lot of young-adult dark and bully romance stories so when she switches it back to write something lighter, I feel like it is refreshing!

Short, Sweet, Hot
I should admit that I've only read a handful of these books in this series, not in any order. I didn't finish a couple so decided to pass on the rest of them. But then one of my favorite authors announced she wrote in this series and I had to read it. I loved it! TL knows how to write short stories, making them feel believable. The storyline was great with worthy characters. I only wish it was longer, as usual with her short stories. This was a sweet and steamy romance between two kids who have grown up together and finally admit their deeper attraction for one another. I'll go back and read more of the books since they are in the Kindle Unlimited program. I probably gave up too soon.

I loved this short but sweet book! Holden and Ruby are the sweetest couple that you can’t help but love. Ruby has been in love with Holden for as long as she can remember but is terrified that she will ruin her friendship with Holden if she tries something and he doesn’t feel the same. Holden feels the same way as Ruby and needs to find a way to show her how he feels.
As much as I can’t wait to pack my bags and move into a dorm which hopefully will be somewhat quieter, there’s another part of me that’s dreading it. The part which doesn’t want to leave the girl who’s buried so deep in my heart that I’ve got no idea how I’m going to live without her.

Ruby and Holden have been best friends for awhile and now they are about to graduate high school. Everything is about to change for them. Both of them have serious feelings for each other but are afraid of what will happen when they act on them. With Holden heading off on a scholarship for football Ruby struggling to make sure she has enough to pay for school both are seeing how easily they could drift apart. Will they take the next step to be together ? Or will their fears keep them friendzoned?
This is a great story that will hook you in the first chapter and have you wanting more with the last one. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

This a nice coming of age book between best friends and neighbours Ruby and Holden. They are nearing the end of their high school journey and are about to embark on the next chapter of their lives. They both care for each other and are attracted to each other but they wont act on it as they are afraid they will mess everything up. Rubys friend actually kick starts the ball rolling and when they realise it is going to be ok there is no stopping them. There is a little bit of tension and angst as the story progresses but in the end it is all good. I really enjoyed reading this one. I liked the sweet and innocence of it it was refreshing and it reminds you of own childhood and your first crush . Overall it was a nice afternoons read.

I thought that this was an awesome book! I loved Ruby and Holden together. These two have been friends for years and both have been love with each other yet they couldn't admit it to the other. Ruby is really sweet but she can have claws when it comes to Holden. These two have amazing connection and chemistry that stem from years of friend and when things changed for them, everything go turned up to 11. I thought that this was an excellent addition to this multi-author series! I would highly recommend this book and Ms. Tracy as an awesome author.

So, this is part of the Cherry Falls series that is comprised of multiple reads by multiple authors - that being said, this is the first book in the series I've read and can be read as a stand alone. I picked it for the sole reason that I love this authors work. While this read is outside of what I have recently been reading from Lorraine it was still just as well written and satisfying as everything else I've read of hers. Amazing characters and a smooth flowing friends to lovers storyline that is sure to please. The perfect balance of sweet and steam! I loved it!

I’m conflicted. This really had some cute moments, but half of it seemed like a young adult story and the other half of it was very much an adult novel.
If you had told me the characters were 14, I would have believed you. The way they talked and often acted, and put such a big emphasis on not even having a first kiss yet, made them seem young. But then there were detailed oral and sex scenes. It didn’t work for me.
This probably is closer to a 3 than a 2, but I don’t love books where women are referred to as derogatory things like ‘slut.’ I also really did like the way Meg kept pushing Ruby past what she was comfortable with.

Perfectly sweet little romance. A lesson in you never know what’s right in front of you or what you could have had until it’s gone. That is until the reality of it wakes you out of your stupor and kicks you into action.
Having spent my last few reads in some dark bully romances this was like a breath of fresh air. A palette cleanser of sorts that had me giddy with excitement whilst reading. It was short and sweet and maybe a little too short or perhaps I was just so drawn in the I was desperate for more of these two.

Awh Holden & Ruby's love story was so sweet that I ended up reading it in one go I loved it. They'd been friends for years & both loved each other in deeper was but both too afraid to tell the other how they felt incase it ruined the amazing best friendship they had. As it was getting closer to him leaving for college & him going to prom with someone else it seemed like they might not get the happy ever after both me & them wanted & everyone else knew they had always been meant to be together.
I loved this do much I didn't want it to end I wanted more 😍
