Book details
Alexandra Moody - Author
This is a friends-to-romance setup in which Paige seeks dating experience and Grayson secretly hopes their friendship can become a relationship. Its central tension comes from competing intentions within a long-standing friendship.
She's never been kissed. He's never felt this way about anyone. Paige has ticked off everything on her senior year bucket list except one tiny thing — she’s never kissed anyone. And her best friend, Grayson Darling, is to blame. Grayson is the school hockey team’s notorious enforcer, and he’s been scaring away any eligible bachelors that so much as look in Paige’s direction. With time running out, she demands that Grayson stop defending her honor. Instead, he’ll become her dating coach, training her to win the guy of her dreams. But Grayson has plans of his own. He’s been in love with Paige since they were kids, and his clock is running, too. Coaching Paige might be his last chance to show her how good they’d be together. After all, practice makes perfect.
