Sidetracked

 

Librarian Allison Callahan, aka “Encyclopedia Allie,” has always loved her steadfast and dependable best friend, Dane. She’s just never admitted it to anyone, including herself. But Dane keeps trying to kiss her, and it’s changing their relationship status from friend-zone to danger-zone. Sure, Allie wants more, but what if Dane finds out she likes her hanky panky with a side of spanky?

He’ll freak, that’s what. So she rebuffs his advances, tries to shake things up… and unbeknownst to him, discovers one of his best-kept secrets.

Meanwhile, Dane is so frustrated he fantasizes about taking Allie over his lap. A good spanking would serve her right for refusing to acknowledge what they both already know: they’re perfect for each other. But he’s so busy trying to make partner at his law firm, he doesn’t notice something’s a bit off about his bestie.

Between the shock of the secret she never knew and her lukewarm launching of the library’s virtual book club, Allie’s ready to let loose. At her and Dane’s high school reunion, it’s clear they’re ready to take the next step, but after a red-hot night of lust and love, will the next morning’s Walk of Shame ruin everything?

My Review

I loved this newest book in this series. Dane and Allie are great. Although, out of all three of the couples in this series; these two are the most awkward. I am here for it. Thus these nicknames were fitting for them...Allie aka Dirty Nerdy and Dane aka Naughty Nerdy.

Allie and Dane do make a cute couple. There were sparks and humor. When Allie let loose, she became a bit of a firecracker. You did not know what she would say sometimes. Most of it was funny and charming. 

Romance readers who enjoy a friends to lovers troupe story will want to check out this book. I can't get enough of Lauren and her books. I always make time to stop reading my other books to binge read her books. They are guaranteed to bring a smile to my face. 

Warning: A little hanky panky hurt no one.
