► “Johnny is such a dream. He is the perfect best friend, boy friend and lover.” ~ SlitsRead Book Blog
Life can change. So quickly, so suddenly.
One day you’re driving down the freeway, your face lit up by yellow sodium lamps, music blaring through the radio, and you’re singing, and the guy next to you is singing, and he turns to look at you, just for a second, a moment, that final smile lasting forever in your mind afterwards—
And then you’re upside down, and there are screams and moans, a shattered windshield, spinning wheels, the glug-glug-glug of falling gas, and the man you love is next you.
And he’s not moving.
About the Series
Cat Ramsey has the perfect life — a home in the suburbs, a loving family, the sexiest guy in school living next door.
And then it all changes: Her father’s drinking shifts from the occasional beer…into a dangerous dependency.
He becomes loud. He becomes angry. He becomes violent.
Her world is turned upside down.
She turns to Johnny.
This series follows childhood friends who become lovers and then fall out of love.
It’s real and raw. As one reader said in a five-star review, “This is not a fluff romance and I absolutely loved the realism of the characters. I couldn’t put the books down once I started reading them.”
New Adult Romance, Friends to Lovers, Enemies to Lovers
Detailed Description
Catherine “Cat” Ramsey’s world revolves around the boy across the street—João “Johnny” Abreu, the Portuguese immigrant’s son whose green eyes and dark curls steal her heart from age six.
In their idyllic Long Island suburb, Cat and Johnny’s friendship is a constant: snowball fights, shared dinners, and whispered secrets in Portuguese and English.
But as adolescence dawns, so do complications. Cat’s late-blooming desires clash with Johnny’s early-blooming ones. Their brief teenage romance crumbles because she feels uncomfortable getting close to him, pushing him into the arms of Nicole Ferman, a redhead with a wild streak—and Cat’s nemesis.
By the time Cat is ready to be with Johnny, he’s got eyes for Nicole—a conflicting love will only get more complicated as this story evolves.
Meanwhile, Cat’s family life starts to unravel. Her dad’s alcoholism starts to go out of control, bringing Johnny into the fray.
But he’s no longer the little boy across the street. He’s a blisteringly gorgeous man—and Cat needs him.
