I met Alessandra at a party. Tried to impress her. Was almost positive I was going to fail.

I think I said something along the lines of, “I’m a Goat called Fish who’s hung like a bull—but not really. I’m actually pretty average.” Smooth. I know. Try not to be jealous.

When she laughed—and I mean, really laughed—I knew she wasn’t like the other girls I’d been meeting on tour. Hell, she wasn’t even in the same stratosphere as those fangirls and gold-diggers.

At one point during the party, Alessandra said, “There’s nothing like a girl’s first love.” I knew she was talking about the first smash hit by my band, 22 Goats. Alessandra said it was the first song she’d heard by us and it “hit her like a ton of bricks.” Ironic, seeing as how I was having the same reaction from being in her presence.

I made it my mission to impress her. Give her the kiss of a lifetime that night. But since I’ve always been the dude with zero game, nothing went according to plan.

I’m not giving up, though. I’m going to win this girl over. I’m done sitting on the sidelines, watching the bad boy getting the girl. This time, the nice guy will finish first. Even if it’s the last thing he’ll do.

Smitten is an all-new standalone friends to lovers romance!

4.5 Stars 

Smitten is a feel good friends to lovers romance.  It’s a sweet read packed full of heat, heart and humor.  If you’ve read the Morgan brothers series, the characters make cameo appearances throughout this title. 

Ally could be me apart from the fact that I’m completely tone deaf and cant play an instrument to save my life.  She’s awkward, quirky, sensitive, and shy, but also very kind and caring. 

Fish is confident, charming and charismatic, and the bass player for a famous rock band, but he still sees  the tall, lanky and awkward teen of his youth, who has no luck with the ladies.

I loved that this pair are so realistic and relatable.  They both have insecurities and vulnerabilities that make them all the more human and well rounded.  Their relationship is built on honesty and trust and their interactions and banter are sweet, and heartfelt. 

This story has all the feels, and is sure to leave you with a smile upon your face.
