Cala Riley, better known as Cala and Riley, are a pair of friends with a deep seated love of books and writing. Both Cala and Riley are happily married and each have children, Cala with the four-legged kind while Riley has a mixture of both two-legged and four. While they live apart, that does not affect their connection. They are the true definition of family. What started as an idea that quickly turned into a full-length book and a bond that will never end.
Xavier sees a girl in need of rescuing and he steps in to play the role of her boyfriend, not realizing this one nice little gesture is about to change the direction his life. It was one good deed, but the moment he meets his fake girlfriend Cassi he can't help but be taken with her. Her beauty draws him in, but it's her caring and quiet personality that speaks to his heart. He can tell she is carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, and he wants to be the one to help her lighten the load, be the friend with a shoulder for her to lean on.
They settle on being just friends, but after they really delve deep into each other's lives and see who the other really is, they begin to realize there is far more than friendship there. But both have been burned by love in the past, and neither are ready to make that leap again... or are they?
One of Them Girls is a story of healing, second chances, finding love, friendship, and letting go. These two come together under false pretenses, but it's the hurt they see in each other's eyes that draw them two one another. Both are running from pasts that haunt them, and in each other they find the friend they didn't really know that they needed. Seeing them embrace this new friendship in their lives was uplifting, and then to see the love start to blossom between them filled me with hope. It was evident that running from their pasts wasn't the best idea since it managed to follow them, but it was their union that gave them the courage to face it. This was such a beautifully penned love story, it wasn't an easy fall. But once they found the courage to just let go and let love lead the way conquering their demons became a whole lot easier. If you like emotional love stories that squeeze your heart then this one may just be the perfect read for you, it's heartfelt words will get ya from the very first page!
