Title: The Friend Zone (Game On, #2)
 

Gray doesn’t make friends with women. He has sex with them. Until Ivy.

The last thing star tight-end Gray Grayson wants to do is drive his agent’s daughter’s bubblegum pink car. But he needs the wheels and she’s studying abroad. Something he explains when she sends him an irate text to let him know exactly how much pain she’ll put him in if he crashes her beloved ride. Before he knows it, Ivy Mackenzie has become his best texting bud. But then Ivy comes home and everything goes haywire. Because the only thing Gray can think of is being with Ivy.

Ivy doesn’t have sex with friends. Especially not with a certain football player. No matter how hot he makes her…

Gray drives Ivy crazy. He’s irreverent, sex on a stick, and completely off limits. Because, Ivy has one golden rule: never get involved with one of her father’s clients. A rule that’s proving harder to keep now that Gray is doing his best to seduce her. Her best friend is fast becoming the most irresistible guy she’s ever met.

Which means Gray is going to have to use all his skills to get himself out of the friend zone and into Ivy’s heart. Game on.

Why is it that every time i'm looking forward to some book, it's always not as good as I hoped it'd be. Maybe it's because of my high expectations. Maybe it's because I've already read about the person and got to know him/her a bit better and I've imagined someone for them. Or maybe it's something else.

For me, every goofy, funny, free spirited guy for whose story I'm looking forward to, I end up let being let down.

I'm not saying this book was bad. It wasn't. But it was slower and I was bored most of the time.

Ivy and Gray started texting and suddenly they became best friends. They had to text constantly. They haven't even met and they almost couldn't live without each other.

She's been in London for some time helping her mother at her backery and now she's back in the US for a while. She tall and sporty and headstrong, stubborn and confident.

Gray's used to hooking up with different girl every night but from the moment he's seen Ivy he suddenly didn't want anyone anymore. And Ivy was still "just a friend" to him.

Both of them slowly realize that what they are feeling isn't only friendship. But both of them are afraid of taking chances, because they don't want to lose what they have.

THE FRIEND ZONE is a story where two people become friends and slowly (SLOWLYYYY) fall in love with each other. They didn't want to but they can't help it and even though they want each other they don't dive into it right away. Because both of them would rather be only friends for the rest of their lives than to risk ruining it with sex and the deep stuff.

It felt too long to me. It might have been because of Ivy. I just didn't like her. I don't really know why, she just didn't sit well with me.

I didn't really like Gray either. Again, have no idea why. But I liked him more than I like Ivy, that's for sure. I'll probably like him again when he's not the main character.(I know I'm not making any sense, but to me it sounds quite logical :D).

I'm afraid to say that I'm looking forward to reading the next book which will be about Ivy's sister and a quiet *insert some kind of fotball position aka I only know what a quaterback is* Dex, because that'll lead to expectations and you know what they say about those. So I'm sure it'll suck and I dread the day the book will come out.
