The Edge of Forever: A Brother's Best Friend Second Chance Romance (The Edge Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

by J. Saman (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 2,644 ratings
From USA Today bestselling author J. Saman comes an all-new sexy and emotional STANDALONE novel about first loves and second chances

Weston Kincaid was my first…everything.
My brother's best friend should have come with a warning label.
The man was a cautionary tale and we were the ill-fated cliché.
The star quarterback to my loner art geek.
But I didn't listen. Not to the warnings. Not to my instincts.
I fell, and I fell hard.

Then he left and I was forced to pick up the pieces of my broken heart.

A decade and a lifetime later, he's back.
Only instead of being the star jock, he's now a surgeon.
A sexy, irresistible surgeon who happens to save my friend's life. As if all that isn't bad enough, he has it in his determined, arrogant head that we should pick up where we left off.
But this time, it'll take more than devouring looks and the rush of his touch to temp me back into his bed.
And my heart? Not an option.
He's about to figure out, I'm not the same girl he left behind.

Review

"The past and the present collide and the result is a romantic's dream! Refreshing romance, wonderful characters and a few big twists along the way made this one a keeper for sure!" Tome Tender Book Blog

"I highly recommend The Edge of Forever for a romance that has our hearts invested from the first page and keeps us waiting impatiently for the mystery and passion to unfold." Rochelle's Reviews

"I just loved this story of angst-ridden, self-doubting, long time loving and adoration." A Book Lover's Emporium Book Blog

"Loved this book." Goodreads Reviewer

"J. has such a way of giving real, honest characters who are no where near perfect but people you would love to have in your life or at the very least have lunch with just to pick their brains (with some exceptions of course)." Goodreads Reviewer

"Oh my, this book was so good. I couldn't put it down once I started it, so I finished it in one sitting. J. Saman is one of my favorite authors and this book, The Edge of Forever, serves as another reason why." Goodreads Reviewer

From the Author

No. Just no. 
My lungs burn from lack of oxygen. My cheeks heat and my stomach flutters with nervous butterflies as I squint, trying to confirm what my body seems to already know. What my body remembers. 
"No way," I whisper aloud. 
A slow easy smile curls up the corners of his mouth, his pale green eyes turning from incredulous to astounded to possibly amused. We stare at each other for a moment, unable to drag our eyes away. He tilts his head to the side, his smile turning lopsided as some of his hair flops over his forehead. My heart. Holy crap, it's out of control. I forgot how gorgeous he is. How devastating that smile is. 
Visions of the last time I saw him flash unbidden into my brain. I can't stop them, and the faster the images come, the hotter my face and body grow. 
His face above mine. Our naked bodies pressed together, limbs intertwined. The sounds he made as he came inside of me. The way I stared into him as I came. Holy shit. I cannot believe this moment. And hell, there are so many more moments than our last. I want to revel in them. Sit in a bath with a glass of wine and relive each one, one at a time like I'm stealing back that what has been taken from me. 
Ever so slowly, he stalks across the room in my direction with a purpose I cannot ignore. 
And then I realize where I am. And then I realize what he's wearing. Scrubs. 
I blink again. Admiring his chest and then his legs and then his shoes and then back up to his face. Because suddenly he's standing before me, so goddamn tall and beautiful as he says, "Aria Davenport."
"Weston Kincaid." 
What are the freaking odds? Ten years and a lifetime in between and now here I am. Staring up into the eyes of the man who was my first... everything. The man who shattered my adolescent, love-sick heart into pieces when he left.

A Slow Burn Second Chance Romance

A Slow Burn Second Chance Romance
**ARC REVIEW** Wes & Aria Two people who fall in love at a young age with so many goals in each others lives it's kinda impossible to see the possibilities of a relationship.. Aria gives Wes her all, even knowing he will be going away to College not having time for a relationship. She still holds out hope thinking just maybe something might change. "I am nothing. I am the empty man who ruins everything he touches. I'd only break her heart. Destroy her dreams. There is no perfect for us now. Only the hope of forever on the distant horizon." Years pass they move on with their lives, even having that dull ache in the center of their hearts. Knowing something is just not right in their lives and there's a huge missing link. You learn Aria & Wes's young story and at the same time you move into present time. A Slow Burn Second Chance Romance that leaves you wanting more of Aria & Wes. "Because distance and regrets are a thing of our past. And this is the start of our forever."

    This story brought it! It was emotional, entertaining, it had sizzling heat, romance and great secondary characters that brought so much to this brother’s best friend romance. But what put it in a league of its own was the writing. Great build of past and present giving you all the history between the two main characters that just made their connection so genuine. I laughed, I swooned and I fell hard for these two! But it also has some drama and encounters that are difficult to go through that deals with dating violence and bullying.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Wes and Aria
    Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2024

    I’m not a big fan of second chance romances, but this one was very well done. Aria and Wes were made for each other and seemed to embody the saying “right person, wrong time”. They fell in love when they were just kids, but the timing was never right. Wes struggled with his family secrets and needed to pursue his dreams of becoming a surgeon, and Aria needed to go out into the world and sell her art. When they finally have a chance at reconnecting, it doesn’t take long for old feelings to surface.

    I loved the way Wes pursued Aria. After everything they went through as teens, he definitely needed to be the one to fight for Aria this time. He saw his way in and he took it. Aria had a lot of doubt surrounding Wes. He’s left her not once, but twice, and while she always knew the score, she also always hoped he’d come back to her. I liked that she didn’t just allow Wes back in immediately, she made him prove his words and promises with actions.

    I liked the secondary plot with Aria’s best friend Josh. It gave Aria and Wes a common ground, helping Josh recover and trying to figure out who beat him up. Wes really stepped up for Aria when she needed him and it went a long way in mending some of Aria’s past hurts.

    There were a few things that bothered me. The first was Drew. I found myself really disliking him and I know he’s the MMC of the next book so I hope he’s able to redeem himself, but he was truly awful. He didn’t listen to anything Aria said and kept trying to force her back into a relationship he broke in the first place. The second was Brady and Cooper. I wish Aria and Wes had gotten a little more justice for the way they were both treated. It seemed like the only plot that was left open. But even with those two caveats, I really enjoyed this book.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I love this book so much! It is pure Magic and Perfection and speaks to my heart and my soul and I really don’t want to let these characters go. I can’t even say how many times I’ve already reread this book, and talk about highlights... I fell in love with the story and the characters; Wes and Aria are EVERYTHING! I literally “felt” this book all the way through on such a visceral level. It has great emotional depth and somehow intertwined heartbreak and hope in a beautiful, breathtaking way and is now one of my most favorite stories. The love between Wes and Aria feels so epic and deep and real. The chemistry between them sizzles right off the page.

    I love the flashbacks, as they show when and where the incredible connection between Wes and Aria developed and how their love might withstand the time and distance it is forced to endure. They have that intense, deep love (soul-connection) I think most of us long to feel in our lives and it just oozes right off the page. The writing is so good and I feel every emotion the characters feel on a gut level. Some passages just devastate me (in a good way), especially those showing Wes and Aria’s vulnerabilities, as well as their sadness and anguish over timing and circumstances taking their lives in different directions and away from each other. But, then, devastated turns into elated as the hope surrounding a second chance literally seeps off the page and fills my heart. So many feelings! I love dual POV and “seeing” the loss, vulnerability, love, heartbreak, desire, anguish, and hope through each character’s eyes. As if all of this weren’t enough, also woven into the story is a timely, sensitive, true-to-life issue that adds another layer of drama and suspense to the story.

    I couldn’t put this book down and finished it in one sitting. I only recently discovered J. Saman and she is now one of my favorite authors. Her stories feel so real and full of heart and they linger with me long after I’ve finished reading them. The way she writes really grabs me and I see and feel the story as if it is literally unfolding in front of me, as clear as if I were watching a movie.

    Do yourself a favor and read this book!

    Brothers beat friend, second chance romance with spicy scenes and a huge plot twist; if you like those things then this is the book for you.

    Weston was Aria's first everything and he had broken her heart.
    Aria was the love of Weston's life but was too young and he wanted to have the best life for her before they officially got together and he had waited too late because she had moved on.

    Now after a recent breakup with her boyfriend Drew, they are brought together after Aria's best friend is beaten up severely and Weston is the surgeon who saves him old feelings fly back to the surface again.

    Love this book!!!

    Deep breath........
    It's hard to come up with anything more appropriate than sexy, dirty and breathtaking...... oh yeah, anxiety inducing because it's just so obvious that Wes and Aria belong together. They have for a long time, having known each other intimately since high school (Wes is almost 3 years older), but life and learning and establishing adult lives got in the way for this trauma surgeon and artist. Wes screwed up twice in the past and left Aria twice with a broken heart, but this time he's ready to make all the decisions he'll need to make to win her back and build a life based on both their callings; and that's what their professions are for these star crossed lovers. You will love feisty, funny, loyal to a fault Aria, and Wes has become the man deserving of her. There's tension here to get these two together but watching Wes pursue her was something wholly satisfying. There's also a wildly romantic bonus epilogue available for download with a surprising intensely satisfying wedding you'll have access to at the end of this ebook.

    Freaking sexy cover too (cover tramp that I am - kept flipping back to this image of Wes throughout reading. Nicely done Ms Saman. Only one complaint- you forgot to mention the cover model's name.)

    Aria and Wes are a perfect example of a second chance love story - one that started when these two were in their teens (with Wes a couple of years older than Aria) and broke down as teen relationships often do. They meet again under less than ideal circumstances but the chemistry and old feelings reignite and soon become hard to ignore. This is a beautiful story that I could not put down. Can't wait to read the next one.

    I love their story and how far it goes back. There were some surprises in this one. They are definitely meant to be. I do wish we had the conversation between best friends though. I always love that part when a guy tells her best friend that he loves his sister. This doesn't bother me enough to not give it 5 stars though. It really deserves all the stars.
    Such a great story and a great series. The author knows how to keep you interested right to the very end.
