Blurb:
A steamy enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance from New York Times Bestselling Author Samantha Young.
It’s hard to stay in the friend zone when the attraction is this hot…
Going into my senior year of university at war with a member of the British royal family wasn’t in my carefully laid plans. Sebastian Thorne might be the grandson of a princess, but it’ll take more than a royal pardon to get me to forgive him for pretending to be someone he’s not.
But Sebastian is determined to be my friend. Even if it means signing up to a psych experiment just to get me to talk to him. Who knew a sincere apology and him saying my name in that posh English accent would make me weak in the knees?
This year was supposed to be about my dissertation and graduate school. Only, Sebastian has thrown my ordered world off kilter. He makes me bolder, more confident. A braver version of me.
Yet every lingering glance and stolen touch has me realizing one thing…
I’m falling for my best friend.
There’s just one problem. Sebastian has demons, ones that make him determined to keep me in the friend zone no matter the cost.
And even when temptation sends his walls tumbling down, the beauty we’ve found might not survive against the powerful will of outside forces…

REVIEW:
I am in love with this story 😊 I totally got immersed in it, that I didn’t want it to end. Everything was just amazing. Lily was just the sweetest person ever (I want her to be my friend) and Sebastian oh my… No words.
Their story didn’t start so great, but I loved the fact that Sebastian knew he did something wrong and was doing everything he could to try and apologize to Lily. Eventually when Lily gave him a chance, they started out as friends, even though both of them were attracted to each other. But Sebastian was adamant he needed a friend.
Sebastian was a Royal, and his parents were going through a divorce and having Lily who he could talk to just made his life seem not so bad.
Lily was sweet, smart and she knew what she wanted and was working hard towards her goal. She has an amazing family and amazing friends, but she was still going through some issues of her own, especially not feeling very confident with her body. But I loved that Sebastian made her feel beautiful.
The whole friendship thing could only last so long, as eventually their attraction was just too hard to ignore 😊
Loved this story, loved the awesome characters and side characters. Their romance was just perfect for them, and the chemistry was definitely some slow burning there, but I loved it. And that little twist there at the end, just added to the great read.
