Cade
When it comes to women, keeping things casual is my forte. What can I say, I like to live life to its fullest. Then I spot the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen at The Tipsy Lizard, and I know I need to get to know her. Like a moth to a flame, I’m drawn. The only issue is, she’s dating someone else.
So, the only choice I have is to give Oaklee my number and tell her to use it when she’s single.
To my surprise, that phone call came sooner than I expected. She’s just getting out of a relationship and isn’t looking for anything serious, which is right up my alley. Spending time with her isn’t a hardship, and sending little gifts to her office to say hello is a lot more fun than I would have imagined.
The problem is, I’m not sure I can keep her safely in the friend zone much longer.
Oaklee
Relocating to a small town was exactly what I needed. However, from the moment I arrived in Cooper Town, everything seemed to snowball. The jerk I was dating decided to cheat, leaving me in a new place with a new job and a support system of one to lean on.
Meeting Cade at a bar turned out to be more than just a casual happenstance.
Being around him is easy. He’s gorgeous, charismatic, fun, and always sends me little things to let me know he’s thinking of me. When I have to start working beside my ex, Cade kicks it into overdrive, showing me exactly how easy it could be to fall for a guy like him. Too bad he’s not looking for forever. Cade only wants right now.
Suddenly, my easiest hello might be my hardest goodbye.

REVIEW
Reviewer: Chelsea
Rating: 4.5 Groupie Stars
Cade is a pro at keeping his relationships casual, so when he sees Oaklee at a bar he gives her his number, to use when she’s single. Oaklee didn’t think she would be single anytime soon, but her boyfriend cheats and she’s new to the small town of Cooper Town; so why not have a fling with the hot guy who gave her his number?
These two were so cute together! I loved that Cade has as much trouble as Oaklee keeping things friends with benefits!! Lacey had a knack for always keeping the readers interested and she did it again with the second book in this series!! I can’t wait for more from this adorable little town!!
