Most people think I’m a moron. In actuality, I’m a man with a plan.
It’s one of those three-year plans that takes longer than three years.
Still, I’ve been making it happen. Checking off those to-dos and turning them into to-dones.
Everything is almost lined up.
And then my phone rings.
By the time I get to Jess, she’s unconscious and bleeding.
My carefully crafted plan blows up in my face.
I tell the hospital we’re engaged. We aren’t, but apparently, in that place, you need a permission slip to see your most important, so I do what has to be done.
I toss together an epic apology salad for when she opens her eyes, and when she does…
She asks me who I am.
I’m willing to overlook the insult since, you know, head injury, but then Nurszilla spills the beans on our pending nuptials.
And just like that, my friend turns into my fiancé, and I’m not even mad at it.
How could I be? Her curves fit in my arms perfectly. Kissing her is like whoa and makes me forget I’m living a lie.
I know I have to come clean, but someone dirtier than me is stalking my final girl, and until she remembers who, it’s on me to keep her safe.
The closer we get, the guiltier I feel.
When all this is over, will she forgive me? Or will everything I’ve done cost me everything I’ve always wanted?

REVIEW
Reviewer: Christi
Rating: 4.5 Groupie Stars
Whoa by Cambria Hebert is the 6th book in her Westbrook Elite series. If you are this far in the series, you know how awesome these swimmers are and don't worry, Kruger doesn't break the 5 star streak.
Hebert has done a fantastic job of pulling the reader into a well crafted suspense novel disguised as a college sports romance. This story has a total horror film vibe to it, so I have to be careful about spoilers... you might lose the surprise *gasp* element if I’m not.
Hebert has a knack for creating a family with her characters. Unwavering support is something I think we all wish we had in our lives and that is something this group of characters has. Plus loyalty and trauma lattes at every turn. Side note: While each couple has their own book and can be read separately, the plotlines build on each other and create more depth in each book as you go through the series. As a result, you fall a little bit more in love with all of them throughout each book and you will never think of a caramel latte as anything other than a trauma latte again.
I like that we finally get to learn Kruger's first name. And Prism's too! We get to learn about dynamic between these two guys that we met forever ago and how Jess (the heroine in the story) fits in. We already know from the book synopsis that Jess is injured and Kruger has to step in with a fake fiance story at the hospital to see Jess. What we get to see unfold is the sweet, the spicy, and the suspicious - maybe even toss a little scandalous or scary in there too.
I totally enjoyed Whoa (5 stars!!) and am always excited to see what Cambria Hebert will treat us to next in the series. I'm so excited for Prism...
