5 SMOOCHES!

SYNOPSIS:
Cade
When it comes to women, keeping things casual is my forte. What can I say, I like to live life to its fullest. Then I spot the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen at The Tipsy Lizard, and I know I need to get to know her.
Like a moth to a flame, I’m drawn. The only issue is, she’s dating someone else.
So, the only choice I have is to give Oaklee my number and tell her to use it when she’s single.
To my surprise, that phone call came sooner than I expected. She’s just getting out of a relationship and isn’t looking for anything serious, which is right up my alley. Spending time with her isn’t a hardship, and sending little gifts to her office to say hello is a lot more fun than I would have imagined.
The problem is, I’m not sure I can keep her safely in the friend zone much longer.
Oaklee
Relocating to a small town was exactly what I needed. However, from the moment I arrived in Cooper Town, everything seemed to snowball. The jerk I was dating decided to cheat, leaving me in a new place with a new job and a support system of one to lean on.
Meeting Cade at a bar turned out to be more than just a casual happenstance.
Being around him is easy. He’s gorgeous, charismatic, fun, and always sends me little things to let me know he’s thinking of me. When I have to start working beside my ex, Cade kicks it into overdrive, showing me exactly how easy it could be to fall for a guy like him. Too bad he’s not looking for forever. Cade only wants right now.
Suddenly, my easiest hello might be my hardest goodbye.

REVIEW:
Lacey Black writes the kind of sweet, small-town romances that are just right for curling up with, and A Simple Hello, the second book in her Cooper Town Boys series, fits that bill perfectly. This friends-to-lovers story follows Cade, an easy-going good guy and heavy equipment operator, and Oaklee, a nurse who’s new to town and still finding her footing. Their first meeting was nothing flashy—just a simple hello—but I immediately felt that little spark of something between them. I loved their witty banter and how natural their friendship felt before things started heating up between them.
Lacey did a great job of building the kind of sweet and sexy tension that made me root for Cade and Oaklee with every passing page. A low drama, high heat, heart-filled, makes-you-smile kind of romance set in a cozy small town where everyone knows everyone else, I polished this lighthearted and addictive friends-to-lovers romance off in an afternoon. Five smooches from me for A Simple Hello by Lacey Black!
