Friction

Friction
 

book review disclosure

You may remember recently that I did a review of the first book in the Station 32 series and told you how much I enjoyed it. Well I was lucky enough, thanks to NetGalley again, to be able to read the second book in the series and I swear I think I love Friction better!

About the Book

Having the wrong things in common with the right girl at the wrong time has always been a tragic issue for Easton Ballantine. At least it was when it came to Georgia Armstrong.

Georgia Armstrong’s nomadic life had left her worn and lacking the desire to attach to anyone or anything. She’d been burned and felt the coldness of loss and was content to drift at will until she found a reason to stay.

Broken roads and bad decisions, which led to right ones, were the demons in both their past—choices that would either draw them together, or rip them apart.

“I tend to attract the broken.”

“I’m not broken,” Easton snapped in a hiss of words.

She felt her body tense before her next bold words came. “Did I say you were?” She lifted her chin. “Am I attracting you, Easton Ballantine?”

He looked right at her, green to blue, a stare reaching past the fraudulent calm surface. Yes, she was. Which only pissed him off more. Not only was she not anywhere near his type, she was Memphis’s kid sister, Lucas’s daughter—she was seventeen. No way in hell this is going down.

He smirked to break the gaze they shared, to put a wall between her and him—to do anything to block the way she was messing with his head.

“I’m every kind of bad habit you don’t want or need, Georgia.”

My Thoughts

I LOVED this book! Right from the get go Easton is attracted to Georgia and although they do nothing about it neither of them ever stop thinking of the other. After the funeral of Georgia’s father she leaves with her mother and Easton leaves with Wyatt to go back on the rodeo circuit. Years later Georgia finally makes her way home after some bad decisions. She is determined to ignore Easton as much as she can. I love the scene when they are at the bar and she thinks he doesn’t know it is her. Then of course he is told his girl is on the phone and Georgia gets super angry! The one thing that I really loved about this was that things weren’t always as they appeared. There were times when I thought Easton was a jerk only to discover that what I thought was going on really wasn’t (i.e “his girl”.) Both of these people have been hurt in the past yet they have always loved one another. I mean Easton has carried a picture of Georgia in his wallet for years and Georgia feels something connected to Easton (you have to read the book to know what I am talking about) right at the moment she decides to change her life. Memphis is awesome as well! When he could have beaten the crap out of Easton for falling for his sister he doesn’t. He takes it all in stride although Wyatt and Easton have words about early on.

    Oh now this sounds like a fun read! I like these types of books where there is some tension between the characters and they try to fight it. Perfect summer read! Thanks for the review!

    I love the line, “I attract the broken.” Not sure I would love this series but I would try one book and see what I thought.
