Friends to Lover by Christi Barth Giveaway


Christi Barth earned a Masters degree in vocal performance and embarked upon a career on the stage.  A love of romance then drew her to wedding planning.  Ultimately she succumbed to her lifelong love of books and now writes contemporary romance.  Christi is President of the Maryland Romance Writers and lives in Maryland with her husband.


Places to find Christi Barth:


As florist and co-owner of a successful Chicago wedding planning business, Daphne Lovell has been there for the happiest days of other people's lives. As for her own life? Well, it's hard to be perfectly happy when you're carrying a torch for your sexy, womanizing and oblivious best friend. So when the lights go out on New Year's Eve, she seizes the opportunity to kiss him senseless.
 
British expat Gibson Moore has a lot on his plate. The hotel he manages is being bought out, his family is crazy and someone just kissed him in the dark. When the lights go on, he searches the room, trying to find the mystery pair of lips. Only, he never thinks to ask the woman standing by his side. He's shocked when he discovers that Daphne is the woman he's been searching for. But Gib's also eager to act upon the attraction for her he's always fought to ignore.
 
It takes trust to move from friends to lovers, and as Gib's work situation worsens, he is no longer sure he can risk the friendship he relies on most. It's up to Daphne to convince him that some things are worth fighting for…


FRIENDS TO LOVERS can be purchased from Amazon and other eRetailers

    1. Anita,

      This was a really good story. I never realized how much I was waiting for these two until, I read the first half of the first chapter. It was probably even before the first half.

  2. One of my favorite tropes! I do enjoy reading them and the entire idea of it.

  3. I have a love hate relationships with them. They can be really fun but I wish more authors wrote included male/female platonic friendships. My best friend is male and both of us are tired of when people ask us if we're a couple. No. We have known each other for almost eight years and we're just good friends. My rafflecopter name is Nat.

    1. Hi Natalie,

      You should really check out Friends to Lovers. Gib and Daphne's relationship was platonic for years, until one night. In fact, they were the best of friends.

  4. This sounds like a book I need to add to my TBR stack. I have a good friend to lover relationship. We have been friends over 15 years and are not in a romantic relationship. Just still good friends with benefits when needed.

    Thanks for the give away

    1. Oh my gosh Christie!

      15 years as friends with benefits? Really? 15 years is a LONG TIME!!! And you NEVER not even one time thought about it being more than just benefits? You never even got jealous?
