[Book Tour] She's the One by Erin Nicholas #review #giveaway


She’s the One
by Erin Nicholas

BLURB:

Counting on Love, Book 1

Sometimes you see love clearly.  And sometimes it has to smack you in the face.

When a stranger walks up and punches him, Ryan Kaye assumes there’s a good reason.  But he’s stunned to learn it’s over a one-night stand that never happened —with his friend’s sister, straight-laced Amanda Dixon.  When Ryan confronts her about the lie, Amanda apologizes, but Ryan realizes he doesn’t want her to be sorry…he wants the night they supposedly spent together. 

Amanda’s not looking to add anyone to her long list of commitments, so she was only trying to let a nice guy down easy by telling him a fling with Ryan broke her heart.  So what if the fling only happened in her dreams?  But when Ryan Kaye tempts her with the chance to go crazy and fulfill a few fantasies, she can’t resist.  Thank goodness one night isn’t enough time to fall in love…


Warning: Contains a hot paramedic who knows how to get a girl to let her hair down, a girl who thinks she prefers her hair up, some naughty laser tag, some naughty role-playing and a lot of falling in love.


“What are you suggesting, exactly?” she asked.

Ryan grinned and she knew she was in trouble. She’d basically just admitted that she was interested. A firm “hell no”, maybe punctuated by a good scowl, would have possibly talked him out of it. But she hadn’t done any of that.

“You, me, some whipped cream and twenty-four uninterrupted hours.”

Yep. That sounded just about perfect.

 “Only twenty-four?”

In a blink, Ryan’s grin dropped and was replaced by a hot, hungry look. “I’ll give you twenty-four days if you want them.”

She was very afraid that she did. She swallowed hard. “That’s a lot of whipped cream.”

“Yeah. We’ll probably have to use some chocolate syrup and some marshmallow cream too.”

Amanda fought the smile…and the “yes, now, let’s go” that threatened. “Marshmallow cream?”

“Ever tried it?”

“For sex? No.”

“You’ll never want it on ice cream again.”

“Well, that will save me a ton of calories.”

“And, trust me, you’ll be burning up a bunch too.”

“Then how can I say no?”

Nothing bad would happen. It was Ryan. He was dangerous in a sexy, he-can-make-me-do-anything-he-wants way, and there was, of course, that risk of him ruining her for all other men. And she wouldn’t have to worry about embarrassing herself or anyone else. Ryan would be discreet. In fact, her brother was the last person who’d ever find out about anything between her and Ryan. Ryan wouldn’t risk telling Conner he’d hooked up with another of Conner’s sisters. No way.

Ryan took a deep breath and shook his head. “I can’t believe I just made a date for sex with Amanda Dixon.”

“Did we set a date?”

“How’s right now?”


I'm a big fan of opposites attract love stories, but what I love about She's the One is that Amanda and Ryan aren't as different as they think they are. They both would do anything for those they care about, and that's what got me with this story! I love how their relationship starts (out of pure fun), how it grows (an attraction that is undeniable) and how their relationship changes one another for the better. Ryan finally sees that he can stick around for a woman he cares about and Amanda realizes that her family's happiness can't always depend on her. There were a lot of fun scenes throughout the book that had me laughing, smiling or my heart beating. The smexy scenes were great, since they weren't the typical "bedroom scene." Lots to love about this book! Erin Nicolas has definitely captured my attention and I will be reading more of her work. I'm truly excited to see that there are more in this series to come!
