Just Friends
Book 3 of the Nashville is Calling series
Hazel Lane is ready to date again after recovering from a painful breakup, so she asks her best friend Alex Bates to arrange blind dates for her while she does the same for him. Alex agrees even though he has been in love with Hazel and hopes she will finally recognize that the person she wants may already be beside her. A succession of bad dates makes the experiment increasingly awkward as friendship and romantic longing become harder to separate. Madison Wright’s slow-burn romantic comedy combines best-friends-to-lovers chemistry, mutual matchmaking, and the fear that pursuing love could damage the relationship both characters value most.
