Saving myself for marriage, not hardly. Saving myself for someone who will make my heart race, most definitely.
In theory it's a good plan, however even the best-laid plans fall through. Seeing him, being around him, alerts all my senses and I dream about being his, wrapping myself in his arms and never letting go. The only problem – he sees me as his sister.
My name's Ava Evans and I'm in love with my older brother's best friend, Nate Garrison.
Burying myself in work for the past two years, avoiding any thought of her, has worked, until now. She's everywhere, in my dreams, in my gym, and in my heart. I'm not sure when I fell in love with Ava Evans, but I am completely in love with my best friends baby sister.
At first she was too young for me and that made it easy to stay away. Now, it's a struggle to keep my distance.
How am I supposed to resist her when I can’t escape her? If he ever found out, it would ruin our friendship. Even with that knowledge all she would have to do is...
Just Say When.
Just Say When was
a cute romance that makes you wonder what you would do if you had feelings
about your big brother’s best friend and how you would feel when you find out
he feels the same way. I am an only
child so I didn’t have that type of crush growing up but I can totally see why
it would be hard especially if you have a very over protective big brother who
you know will not be happy about the relationship.
Nate won me over from almost the very start. Even with just a few paragraphs I had a
feeling that he was going to take his feelings for Ava seriously, and he proved
me right. Ava was okay for me. I think in a way she was too immature at
times with certain things, but I think she was perfect for Nate. Ava and Nate took things slowly. I understood
Nate’s reasoning up to a certain point, but since when does a relationship have
to have a seal of approval from big brother especially when you know he is not
going to react well. Sometimes you need
to do what is good for your relationship and not worry about everyone else’s
feelings, thoughts or opinions.
I had a couple of issues overall with Just Say When and that is what kept me from loving it, just liking
it. One being the whole situation
mentioned above and another is that it almost felt rushed and anticlimactic at
the end. It was just missing something
that would have made it a great read for me.
I kind of hope that the author will write another book about some of the
other characters and maybe tie up some loose ends that she left. Pretty good read though, it just wasn’t great
for me.

Excerpt
I reach the table just in time to watch as Kara pulls Ava to the dance floor. They stop right at the edge as if they cannot wait a second longer to move to the beat. We watch them in silence, enjoying the show they’re putting on. That is until two guys join them. At first, it looks innocent enough, but when the one closest to Ava puts his hands on her, I know I have to squash this.
“We can’t let them have all the fun.” I motion to the dance floor. I’m pissed off this guy is mauling her, and I’m pissed off at Zach. I can’t believe he let his groupies pull him away from Ava. He doesn’t deserve her.
Tanner grins. “You don’t have to tell me twice.” He places his now empty water bottle on the table and heads straight for Kara.
I’m hot on his heels. I stop in front of Ava and she smiles hesitantly just as the song changes to “Talk Dirty.” The guy who was trying to make his move on her is no longer touching her, which is in his best interest. Ava seems nervous as to where she should touch me. This is new for us. I take her hands and rest them on my shoulders as I move my hips to the beat. I keep an eye on the jackass to make sure he knows she’s unavailable. I don’t want him touching her again.
I pull her tight little body close to mine, not caring that this is Ava Mae, my best friend’s little sister. She’s forbidden, but for tonight, for this time in which I actually have her in my arms, I don’t let it stop me. Instead, I pull her close and pretend she’s mine. Ava rocks her hips against mine and I tighten my grip. Her big brown eyes find mine and her stare is intense. If I didn’t know better, I would think that she wants me just as fiercely as I want her. Pulling her as close as I can get her, I bury my face in her neck and match the rhythm of her hips as they grind against mine. I wish like hell she were mine.
