Tahoe Roth.Irreverent, cocky, playful and naughty.
He’s not the guy you date.
He’s the one night stand.
The one your mother warned you about.
The one your body craves.
You’d think the man who called me succulent would want to strip me down and spread me out on his bed—like he’s done with countless others.
But he passed on my offer….
Just like I’d once passed on his.
He’s wary, like I am.
He’s broken, like I am.
And everyone knows two broken parts can’t ever make a whole.
Tahoe and I are strictly friends.
So I distract myself with other men.
He doesn’t think my new man is good enough. This blond blue-eyed beast doesn’t think any man is—himself included.
But the more time we spend together, the more confused I feel.
I'm trying to open myself to love.
Yet I'm quickly realizing that the only man I want is Tahoe Roth.
The one man who will surely break my heart.
My Review
5 stars
Ok, Ladies I had fun reading this book and I can't wait to hear what y'all think of it too. This is Regina and Tahoe's story.
So let's get started.
Regina is friends with Rachel and Tahoe is friends with Saint. They are both insanely attracted to one another but Tahoe will not make a move. He knows Regina deserves someone better than him. They build one of the most beautiful friendships throughout the book.
This book is in a league of its own. Every single emotion known to man is practically in this book. If I had a heart monitor on, well that sucker would have broken and the replacement one would have died out too. Katy had me scared to keep going because I was not sure what was going to happen next.
Regina has had her heart broken, not just from men but her life has seemed to keep her from really letting people see her true self. With Rachel getting married and Wynn who was supposed to move in with her, she is at a point in her life where finding her self worth is difficult. Her last break up with Paul was her breaking point. He told her he didn't love her and left.
"He didn't say more. He left and closed the door. I heard the wheels of his luggage fade into the distance. And after two years together, after a hundred I love yous, after falling in love for the first time, I never heard from that cheating, lying asshole again."
Gina was not your usual girl, she had been through a lot and learned to show people that she is happy, but with the changes in her friends lives that affect hers she is unsure of what to do. She wanted to be happy and have someone love her but that seemed like it was out of reach.
"My makeup is definitely my mask, the mask that makes me strong, pretty, whatever I want to be. I like helping other women put on masks too. I never want any woman in this world to be half-dresses and wearing no make-up, with a toothbrush in her mouth, when she's being broken up with."
This right here is where I started to understand her and heart hurt for Regina. She clearly had been let down more than once and trusting was not something that came easy for her. As for her relationship with Tahoe, this one is for the record books. You want to stand in the background and scream "kiss her" with every encounter they have. Take her against the wall, or better yet lock them in a room and tell them they can't come out until the seals the deal. I mean really...they needed to do something, anything other than what they weren't doing.
Tahoe had me wanting to throw things at him including myself. He pissed me off and had me swooning at the same time. He is protective of Gina and yet he is straight up honest with her.
"Don't sleep with her tonight. Are you going to sleep with her tonight, Tahoe?"
"Yes, Regina, I am going to sleep with her tonight."
I want to scream, Why? What does she have that I don't? What do they all have that I don't?
Reading that broke me a little...
But what keeps me going is the relationship and the banter they share. He is the first person she runs to or calls when something happens good or bad. He is her night in shining armor, her T-Rex and he really does love her.
"Get under the sheets. You'll have a warm bed tonight, Regina." I open my mouth to speak, but no words come out. Cuddling and a warm bed...friends do that, too, right?
I am telling you right now, Tahoe Roth is taking over in the BBF department. He is everything rolled into one big package. And after a story like this, well you will want your own T-Rex, if you don't have one already.
He's my best friend. The only person I love to be with, want to be with, always. He's the only man I've ever wanted like this.
This book is what relationships are about, friendship, trust and love.
