Synopsis

“When life threatens perfect, it’s time to step up and kick life in the balls.”

Ella's perfect moment was taken from her is the worst possible way. Humiliated, heart broken and absolutely determined not to allow her heart be destroyed for a second time, she builds an ice wall around her heart.

Preston has known that he was in love his big sister's best friend since the age of fifteen. Over ten years on, and an opportunity to be her knight in shining armour is too good to miss. Putting his heart on the line, he's on a mission to show Ella that the perfect moment is possible.

Ella's instinct is to run when she realises her feelings for her bestie's little brother may just run a little bit deeper than just friends. But if she can't run, she'll try every trick in the book to shake off his affection and realign his feelings.

She already had her perfect moment, and there is no chance she'll let her heart thaw for Preston. No matter how good he looks in the firefighter's Christmas calendar.

*** Contains steamy-hot moments, romance, friendship and a bulk load of swearing - non explicit sex scenes. ***

My Review

Becca Lee's debut novel is much better than most debut's I've read recently. I was pleasantly surprised and am anticipating book two.

Ella's wedding day. What was supposed to be her perfect moment, is ruined by her fiancee and his ex girlfriend. After that little shocker she proceeds to build a wall to protect herself, never letting anyone get too close, other than her friends.

She turns to her best friend Jo and Preston, Jo's brother who has always been there for her. Little does she know Preston is in love with her, has been for years. He's three years younger than her and she's never considered him as anything other than a friend.

Until the night of Jo's wedding. Ella and Preston share a perfect night that leaves Ella reeling.

A Perfect Moment is told in dual POV, both Ella and Prestons.

I don't do spoilers so you'll have to read it to find out what happens!! This book is a solid 4 maybe 4.5 stars for me.

About the Author

Spending the last few years near the Queensland coast, Becca is rarely out of the sea or off the beach. Dragging her long board with her and her overworked Kindle Fire, Becca enjoys her three addictions: reading, surfing and ogling surfers, one of whom is her husband of ten years. She can still be found regularly on the beach with her family. Becca tends to leave the surfing to her boys; she's far too busy immersed in her own writing or, of course, with her head still buried in a new read.
