Go Around - by E J Noyes (Paperback)

About the Book

Sometimes, as Federal Air Marshal Avery Weston discovers, a second chance with your ex-girlfriend flies right into your lap.

Book Synopsis

Avery Weston is doing just fine.

Okay, so she's not doing as fine as her ex--award-winning actress and current television It Girl, Elise Hayes--but Avery has a good job as a Federal Air Marshal, a good dog and almost a good handle on her bitterness over Elise walking out on their relationship.

After Elise has a terrifying encounter with a stalker, she comes knocking on Avery's door, begging to hide out there for a while. After all, nobody knows Elise Hayes used to have a girlfriend, so Avery's house is the perfect place. Excellent. Living with her ex again when she's only just come to terms with the idea that being single is preferable to being hidden because your girlfriend won't come out.

No problem--she can totally put her feelings aside to give Elise a safe place to lay low. Except for a few tiny issues, like when you're still kind of in love with your ex and the mutual spark is as strong as ever, it's easy to fall into familiar habits. And with Elise's apologies and regret over leaving smoothing some of Avery's hurts, she finds those simmering emotions boiling over. But love and sparks aren't always enough. Avery and Elise need to find a way to move past the thing that came between them last time, and maybe they'll get a chance to go around and try again.

Review Quotes

E.J. Noyes is definitely one of the best writers in the lesfic genre. After finishing each of her books, I always ask myself, "How is it possible that with each new book, she completely out does herself?" I am truly in awe of her ability to craft such emotional stories. She is a master at writing in the first-person point of view. She's able to give the reader so much insight into her lead characters' feelings, emotions, and thoughts. The celebrity romance is a common trope in lesfic and I eat them up just like zillions of other readers. From word go, readers are taken on an emotionally intense ride throughout several weeks in the lives of Avery and Elise, exes who are caught up in a dangerous web cast by a stalker. While living together, they not only deal with Elise's life being spin danger but also the feelings for one another that never left after their breakup. The chemistry between the two as well as the love they had for one another was palpable. Their conversations are real, raw, and deep with a little sarcasm and humor beneath the surface. It's intense, thrilling, and a real page turner. Ms. Noyes, you are an amazing writer and I thank you for sharing your amazing gift with the world. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!―NetGalley, J.Beebs
