I persuaded my best friend that I should be her first…
More Than Possess You, an all-new sexy novella in the A More Than Words series from New York Times bestselling author Shayla Black and 1,001 Dark Nights is available now!
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shayla Black returns with a new story in her More Than Words series.
I’m Hayes Elliott. Since second grade, I’ve had one best friend, Echo Hope. When she graduates from college, of course I have to give her something amazing. Since I’ll be on a business trip to Maui, I’m bringing her along for a week of fun and sun. But once she sheds her long skirts, serious buns, and combat boots for bikinis, I can’t deny how stunning she is…and I can’t stop wanting her. Worse, she’s determined to lose her V-card—and has asked one of our man-whoring buddies to pluck it.
I’ve got to step in.
It’s underhanded, but I offer to do the job properly. Since I’m no one’s Prince Charming, I have no intention of following through. Suddenly, the kisses start and the clothes come off…and I can’t remember why I’m not supposed to make her mine in every way. Or why I shouldn’t be in love with her. But if I want Echo for more than a vacation fling, I’ll have to fight. And she’s about to find out how determined I am to upgrade my best friend to wife.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
What a beautifully written story full of love compassion, friendship along with being filled with a ton of emotion also being sexy and sensual and one filled with chemistry and one that had some very hot and sexy scenes.
At the beginning of the story, you had an idea in which direction it was going to go but, it also brought some very interesting surprises as well. We loved all the characters they were awesome and some of them even played their part to a T, and then you had Grandma Libby always the voice of reason.
We loved the fact Echo felt it was time to find out if it was time to move on and give up her dream or give it one last shot and she what happens and bring Xavian into her plan might be just the thing to make the man you have been in love with wake up and see what's right before him. Not only that, but we loved Echo, you could tell that she was a kind and loving soul, and she was that same person even to perfect strangers, that was just who she was, so why was the love of her life not seeing her?
Haynes was a character that made us laugh at his antic's with all his wishy-washy emotions some coming from the heart but, the nonsense that went through that man's head had us wanting to smack him right up beside is head he was muttering horseshit most of the time.
Overall, this story gives you all the feels with parts that want to make you laugh and others cry, and it was overwhelming emotional at times because your heart was breaking for Echo thinking will she have to go through life loving someone who can't love her back. Knowing she is special and deserves all happiness she can get. Echo was just one of those characters you can't help but love. Haynes, we are glad that you finally saw what was staring you in the face all this time, thanks for manning up. And Xavian we loved that you got a happy ever after as well, especially since yours were one hell of a surprise. Simply put, we loved it!
