~*SYNOPSIS*~
**New Adult novel coming from authors A.E. Woodward and Erika Ashby late this Spring**
There's this boy.
He kinda owns my heart.
Who am I kidding?
He owns all of me--but he's completely oblivious to it.
And I can't tell him.
Because there's this girl.
And even though he's my best friend, she is too.
Then there's me...
CAUGHT between what feels so right, yet is so wrong.

~*EXCERPT*~
Greg
isn’t a bad looking guy. He’s not even slightly bad looking. In fact, he’s
extremely good looking with his brutish looks. But that’s the thing – he’s just
too beefy for my taste. He’s thick all over. Well, from what I can see, and
what I’ve heard, he is. Which is good for him since most people think buff guys
usually suffer from teeny weeny syndrome and they’re just trying to
overcompensate in other ways.
His
head is typically filled with blonde locks, but he shaved it off this summer.
Maybe it was some sort of rugby initiation or whatever weird sport he’ll be
playing in college.
“Excuse
me, Greg?”
His
head swings my way as if he was just waiting for me to call his name. His smile
is wide and his hazel eyes are bright. He’s genuinely a happy guy. And that’s
what I like about him. That’s why I’m able to look past his player ways and
enjoy his company.
I
do a quick glance up his muscly body from feet to face. His tan, smooth-looking
legs are crossed at the ankle, reaching the other side of the truck as they’re
stretched out. The colorful, geometric print trunks fully engulf his thighs, which
is a plus. Guys shouldn’t wear more fitted clothes than I do. Then there’s his
tank top. The non-existent fabric bunches loosely in the middle of his torso.
“Yes,
Quinn?” he smirks.
“Your
chesticles are showing.”
He
glances down and laughs. “Is that a problem?”
“No.”
I pop a grape in my mouth. “I just can’t stop staring.”
He
laughs even harder and I try my best to refrain from it myself. I’m not looking
to choke on a grape as we drive down the highway.
“Make
em’ pop,” I demand as I lift my sunglasses to the top of my head for a better
view.
“Do
what?”
“You
know.” I sit my grapes down and hold my hands in front of my own chest, moving
my hands up and down. “Make them pop, dance, jiggle. Hell, make them rain for
all I care. They have to be capable of doing something cool.”
“Oh,
hell yeah. I’ve had that shit down since the seventh grade.” He straightens his
back and positions his arms in some weird flex in front of him. Then he begins
to make them pop, drop and lock it. I giggle like a little girl as I watch. His
face makes it all the better as he seems to be straining. He looks constipated.
Without
any inclination, I toss a grape at his tits. And with perfect precision he
bounces his man boob just in time to deflect it. I play catch with his chest a
little while longer before finally putting my earbuds in and relaxing.

~*REVIEW BY JODIE RAE*~
I rated Caught by Erika Ashby and A.E. Woodward FIVE LEAVES!!!
HANDS DOWN BEST BOOK OF 2015!!!!!
Caught was
captivating!! An exciting and heart-pounding romantic page turner. I
literally could NOT put this book down! During my fifteen minute break
at work I would sneak out my Kindle to read this fantastic book!
This was an amazing read and I could not put it down!! When I wasn't
reading it I was thinking about it. It moved along at the perfect pace,
filled with amazing characters and a story that will grab you and keep
you intrigued from the beginning to the end.
This
story is a co-written book by Erika Ashby and A.E. Woodward. A.E.
wrote the guy's POV: Chace and Erika wrote the girl's POV for Quinn.
Even
though there were two authors who wrote this book, this story commingled
together to piece together one of the best reads. The writing gives
both of the characters such a unique voice, which makes this story
very different and unique.
But he is my weakness.
Quinn has been in love since she was twelve years old to her best friend, Chace. Chace on the other hand is completely clueless of his best friend's feelings for him. There comes a day when Quinn is ready to reveal her feelings to Chace, but that is the day that Finely walks into their lives and changes everything. Finley becomes best friends to Quinn and becomes Chace's girlfriend. The three amigos do everything together but deep down Quinn is ready for a change and ready to start college and to have a new life where she is not always the tag-a-long to Chace and Finely.
Chace has it all; a hot girlfriend, a baseball career that will be hitting off at college, and a best friend that will always be by his side. After graduation, Chace, Quinn, Finley and their friend Greg have a little vacation before Chace has to go to summer training for baseball. Chace has always seen Quinn as just a friend, but everything changes in just one night. Quinn is now Caught between her best friend and the love of her life. What happens between the two will change everything between this group of friends.
