Love Wasted Kindle Edition

She loves him. She loves him not.
When Cassandra Porter was seven years old, she fell in love with her next door neighbor and her best friends brother. Cass loved that boy every single day…until he broke her heart and all that remained were the pieces.

Five years and what feels like a lifetime apart, that boy—now a grown and sexy, warm blooded man—is thrust back into her life. He might make her temper flair and blood boil, but a few unresolved feelings are no match for the way her heart races when he is near…

She drives him the good kind of crazy.

Paxton Luke led his life with one thing on his mind: success. Friends and family come first, with no room for emotional attachments—not even with the neighbor girl, who's turned into a complete knockout. His sister's best friend. Emotions only lead to love, and love was trouble.

They’re determined to fight this undeniable attraction to the bitter end. It’s too damn bad their hearts are about to get love drunk-- wasted on love.

It was the perfect relaxing read with just the right amount of angst ...
Shirl Rickman hit the ball out of the park with this book. I read this book in just a few hours while at the beach on vacation. It was the perfect relaxing read with just the right amount of angst and desire. ♡♡♡♡

5.0 out of 5 stars Glued in the middle

OMG! Fantastic read!
I felt glued in the middle of Cass and Paxton. Each time I opened Love Wasted I was stuck in it until it was time for me to adult. The tension, chemistry, push and pull, emotions, and overall feelings keep you intrigued as to what was coming next. The wait for the explosion of their feelings was way worth it.
You gotta watch what you say because sometimes it comes back to bite you.

4.0 out of 5 stars An easy and sweet HEA

I would give this book a 3.5 star.

I enjoyed the tension building, the characters individually, the banter and the friendship with the secondary characters. I really like Paxton's humor.

I think what I struggled with was the discord, I can understood why she would hate him with the first "incident" that happened between them on the beach, but I struggled with understanding the rest. This is probably just me, otherwise I really enjoyed the progression of the story.

I would recommend it if you're in the mood for an easy, sweet, and witty HEA romance.

I'm a terrible review writer, but I want to support the indie authors out there who write because they love it.

This book was a sweet story, I loved the back and forth between Cass and Pax. This book kept me interested and I read it in a day. If you're looking for a nice sweet read, check this book out. :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Paxton and Cassandra always tried to cover up their love for one another growing
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2017
This was such a cute story! Paxton and Cassandra always tried to cover up their love for one another growing, because they didn't know how to deal with it. You get flashbacks to their childhood throughout the entire story, which is fun, but at times made the story feel a bit choppy.

"The world around us continues to move, but I feel stuck in time, the girl who was once in love with a boy."

Cass was the girl next door, literally, she lived next door to Paxton and was his little sister's best friend. This was part of their problem from the beginning, but as they got older things changed, Cass tried to ignore the boy next door because she was in love with him, and Pax tried to protect when she didn't want to be protected.

At time I LOOOVED this story and then other times, if just fell flat for me. The end felt rushed and too much was packed in that bit, it felt really unresolved. Maybe there will be a connected story to fill in these gaps.

I really enjoyed this book. It's very well written. I like the characters and their story. The relationship between Cass and her best friend Laney seems real to me. I really like Paxton, we learn a lot about him. I also enjoyed the fact that the epilogue wrapped things up nicely. Another great book by Shirl Rickman. Can't wait for what she writes next!

I really enjoyed the story of Cass and Pax. And their hating each other. While you knew love was underneath all of their actions. It took them a while to get it together over the years. There's a thin line between love and hate and that line is usually explosive!

This amazing book from Shirl Rickman, had me up until stupid o'clock reading until I had totally finished it. I couldn'tget enough of Paxton and Cassandra's story.
SO MANY FEELS THROUGHTOUT Love Wasted had me gasping, holding my breath, tearing up and wanting to throttle Paxton and Cassandra!!!
Make sure you have everything turned off, kids in bed, study completed, and you're all comfortable, because once you start reading YOU WON'T STOP TILL IT'S FINISHED!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great slow burn
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2017

Cass and Paxton are the perfect enemies to lovers relationship. The tug and connection between the two were obvious. The tension created by their younger selves only added to their journey to be together. I may have a little crush on Paxton Luke and I'm okay with that!! The slow burn is worth it and once they connect it's flammable!
