About this ebook

Xavier and Clara kissing in a tree…

 

When your best friend growing up is a girl, that’s the song your classmates taunt you with over and over again. But it was never like that… until now.

 

It’s always been Clara and me. She’s the only one who truly knows me. After I was drafted into the NFL and ended up the starting quarterback for the San Francisco Kingsmen, I begged her to come with me. But she had her own life and responsibilities back in our small Alaskan town, so I didn’t fault her for staying. 

 

We remained the best of friends despite the distance. I’d hang with her in Alaska during the off season, and she’d visit me in California while I was playing. Then, one night the lines blurred for the briefest of moments and set in motion a series of events that changed everything.

 

I’m not proud of the decisions I made after that fateful night, and I plan on making amends, because I need Clara back in my life. But not as my best friend—as my everything.

Ratings and reviews

If you are a Greene family series lover like I am than you been waiting on Xavier and Clara’s story for what seems like ever! I wasn’t disappointed one bit. Xavier and Clara have been best friends since the very first day in kindergarten. They have weathered every major life event together... the first kiss, loosing both their mothers, Xavier being drafted… the list goes on. They’ve been there for each other. But if you’ve been reading/listening to all the books than you know that these two have

While I love Xavier and Clara and their friendship and how they ended up in the end, I had a problem with Clara just pining away for him. I understand why it was written that way but just as he moved on, even briefly, she could have done the same. Overall I enjoyed it but I guess I was triggered and it made every other emotion of the story so much more real.

I was eager for Xavier and Clara's story especially after his last visit to Sunrise Bay. Xavier and Clara have been inseparable since they were kids but now they haven't spoken for two years. It was great to read their relationship develop and how they worked their way becoming friends again and then lovers. I understood Xavier's hesitation about trusting with relationship but did not like it much. He took a long time to persue what he wanted. The moments of X and Clara's childhood were Adorable and as usually I had too much fun reading all the antics of Ethel, Dory and Midge. Thanks to Valentine Promotions and the author duo for the advanced readers copy for a honest review 😊.
