Some love sets
off a spark… Others ignite the flame.
When the
athletic Zeke Turner moves in next door to eccentric Addie Greyson, the
unlikely pair become instant friends. Growing inseparable over the years, the
two stand together through all the trials of adolescence.
Zeke returns
for the summer after his freshman year of college right as Addie’s preparing to
start hers at another school. Their time apart forces them to begin seeing each
other in a whole new light. When the temptation becomes too much to resist,
lines are crossed and their friendship is irrevocably changed.
As outside influences interfere, the
relationship they’ve fought so hard to protect begins to suffer. When Addie
feels the sting of betrayal from the only other person she can trust, it makes
her question everything she ever thought she knew.
When fate
brings them back together two years later, will they get a second chance? Or
will they find out the hard way that there are some things you just can’t take
back?

My rating:
Such a sweet book!
You're really taken on a journey following Zeke and Addie from when they're young and first meet, how they become friends and into their teenage years when things devolop.
I loved seeing all the little moments they sahre as they grow up that shape into who they are.
Addie is her own person, she doesn't care what others think, she knows they find her weird and yet she refuse to change herself for thier sake. Meanwhile Zeke is always by her side, protecting her when others try to bring her down. I really liked both characters, they were both good to follow when it was their POV. And I really liked being able to look into both their heads and see things from both sides.
Their story really begins when Zeke comes home from college and for the first time realize that Addie, his Addie, is grown up and maybe there's more there than just a friendship. Before long the their friendship moves on to the next level and they end up spending the summer exploring what it is between them. But when the summer is over and they both have to go their seperate ways they have to work hard to keep what they have.
"This could be epic. This could be what we were always meant for, babe."
It was such a sweet book about friends to lovers with a little twist as well that really keeps things interesting.
And oh my god that end killed me... I need to know what will happen! Let the waiting begin, ha ha.
This book is a must read for anyone who enjoys a good love story.

Addie
The second my lips touch his, I know it's a risk, but I just can't bring
myself to stop it.
My feelings, his words, knowing firsthand everything he put up with for
my sake, I pour all of it into him. Parting my lips, I tease his lips with my
tongue, begging for entry, unable to contain the whimper that leaves my chest
when he grants it.
As he makes contact, his tongue gently massages mine, shooting sparks
through my chest. Releasing my grip on his neck, I rest my hand on his jaw,
loving the feel of his light scruff as it dances beneath my fingertips.
His hands rest low on my waist, splaying beneath the thin cotton of my
tank top as I feel him hook his fingers into my belt loops, holding me closely.
As badly as I know I need to pull away for air, my head is swimming.
Common sense leaves me as I wonder if ending this kiss will deprive me of some
kind of oxygen only Zeke's lips can provide.
Zeke's lips.
What the hell are you doing?
That's all it takes to have me pulling away from him. Red-faced and
panting, I bring my fingertips to my lips and quickly find my feet, taking a
slight step back, instantly filling with regret.
Not for the kiss. That kiss was amazing.
Good thing, too, stupid. It may have
just cost you everything.
No, my regret is saved exclusively for the massive line I know I've just
crossed.
What the hell have you done, Addie?
Praise:
“I
was just completely captivated by this amazing love story. From start to finish
I COULD NOT put it down. Kate Benson has yet again delivered a gripping

The deliverance on point, well developed characters

MUST.” ~Summer’s Book Blog

About Kate:
I
grew up in Texas and moved to Florida when I met the love of my life 14 years
ago. I wrote my first poem when I was five and it was about my love affair with
pickles. I still love pickles but I like to think my writing has grown since
then.
I
absolutely adore anything to do with books whether it's writing them or
devouring them in one sitting. I live on music, love, and sweet tea. I am known
for my silly but blunt personality. I've been lucky enough to find the love of
my life, marry him and now we're working on our happily ever after. He inspires
me in everything I do, but especially in telling love stories. I'm an ordinary
girl living an extraordinary love and I'm so happy I get to share it with the
world through my writing.

Devastated
by circumstances beyond her control, Sophie Ryan’s life rips her from the arms
of her first love, Jack. With only memories of their lost love, she’s forced to
start over in a new town; surviving on her own for the first time since he
left. Trying to begin her new life, fate decides a different direction for her,
causing her to make a choice she never thought she’d have to.
Unsure of
commitment after his failed engagement, Chase Mitchell finds himself stuck on a
path of failed conquests and late nights at the bar. That is until he finds a
pair of mesmerizing green eyes sitting in his usual spot. Something about this
quiet girl forces him to question everything he has ever thought about love.
As Sophie

Excerpt from
The Promise by Kate Benson
Copyright
©2013 Kate Benson
The light from the bathroom splays across the bed, illuminating her
features just enough for me to see the way the blush heats the soft planes of
her face. Her long, thick eyelashes rest there just above her cheeks, brushing
her newly sun-kissed skin. I can just barely see the light dust of freckles
that dance across the bridge of her nose.
As she gives me the small smile that always causes my breathing to
hitch, those rogue dimples of hers pop up and are just begging to be kissed.
She opens her eyes and I feel my heart stopping for what feels like the
millionth time today.
Every time she looks at me, everything else simply ceases to exist. My
girl is beautiful. She’s simply breathtaking and she really has no idea. I’m
under her spell, completely enraptured by her, but she doesn’t seem to have a
clue.
I tighten my grip on her bare waist as I trace the outline of her
perfect lips, continuing to marvel at her before I’m able to speak again.
“You are
absolutely everything to me, Sweetheart. I didn’t even know my heart was
capable of feeling so much. Before I met you, I was just floating and I didn’t
even know it,” she opens her eyes again and they meet with mine. “But now I’m
alive. I wouldn’t be able to exist without you, Sophie. Don’t ever doubt what
you mean to me. Ever.”

SAVAGE (Book Two):
SAVAGE by
Kate Benson Synopsis
Copyright
©2014 Kate Benson
Since
the night I met her at a shitty basement party in high school, I’ve wanted her,
craved her. Even when we were fifteen, she had something animalistic, primal
hiding behind those grey eyes. I still can’t put my finger on what it is about
her.
Whatever
it is, I’m addicted.
Callie
Leveaux? She’s always craved sex. Up until now, she didn’t even care much who
it was with, but I’m about to change all that.
I
sat on the sidelines, struggling to kick one vice so I could trade it for my
addiction to her. You might think I did it to be a better person, but the truth
is, it’s always been for her.
My
name is Tommy Savage and I’m the man she’s been waiting for.
Praise:

star read for me.” Summer’s Book Blog

panties read! Kate you did it again! Loved it!” Panty Dropping Book Blog
