Alexandra McCabe is disconnected from the world, grieving the loss of her parents…

Content with studying and keeping to herself, Alex has no interest in the campus playboy, Drew Collins, trying to get close to her. But even dousing him with beer doesn’t deter the easy-going charmer, and against her better judgment, the pair fall into a reluctant friendship.

Drew is bored with college life, and Alex’s romantic rejection intrigues him…

Their friendship is good for both of them, but Drew is used to getting what he wants, and he’s tired of shallow sorority girls. He’s much more interested in the feisty redhead, but despite his growing feeling, Alex keeps him firmly in the friend zone.

Old heartaches and new tragedies deepen a complicated relationship…

Whatever life throws their way, Alex and Drew remain best friends with their own traditions. Drew is Alex’s family, her rock, and Alex keeps Drew grounded, always challenging him to better himself.

When years of buried feelings rush to the surface, they threaten to change everything…

Drew promised his mother he’d tell Alex how he feels, when the time is right-but how will he know when that is? Alex is terrified to reveal those ‘three little words’ certain Drew doesn’t feel the same, and she’ll lose the only family she has.

Should Alex and Drew open their hearts, and risk being crushed? Should they be satisfied with a deep, lifelong friendship? Or does the only chance for happiness lie…

Somewhere In Between?





EXCERPT


“I never got the point of this movie,” I said, grabbing a handful of popcorn.
“What do you mean the point?”
“I mean, this old chick trains this girl to fuck with the guy’s head and he just takes it? What a pussy!” Red just looked at me like I was crazy. “What?”
“It’s romantic!”
“This is not romantic.” I pointed at the screen. “This is stupid. The old hag tells him she will break his heart. She is engaged when he finds her again in New York, and he still practically begs at her feet. It’s pathetic.”
“He loves her so much that he spends his life doing everything he can to be worthy of her.”
“Why isn’t he worthy of her in the first place?” I pointed out. “He’s a nice guy.”
“It’s a gesture. He wants to prove his love. Like what your mom says.”
“That is nothing like what mom says. You fight to be the man the girl deserves after she loves you, not to make her love you. That guy is an idiot. He falls for the first girl to kiss him, and she does nothing but use him and fuck with his head.”
“Then why did you agree to watch it?”
“Gwyneth Paltrow gets naked.” I shrugged.
“Nice.”
“So,” I tried to steer the conversation toward her date with Russell without sounding too interested, “you never told me how your date went.”
“Eh.” She shrugged.
“Eh? What does that mean?”
“It was okay, but there wasn’t really anything there. We have nothing in common.”
“Well, that’s too bad.” I tried and failed to hide my smile.
“I think it was mutual anyway. He hasn’t called me, so no big deal.”
I told that son of a bitch to stay away from her. Looks like he heard my warning loud and clear. “I’m sorry, Red.”
She looked at me with a smirk on her face. “You are not.”
“I didn’t like the guy, sure, but I do want you to be happy.”
“Well then, I guess it worked out for everyone then, didn’t it?”
“Yeah, I guess so.” I chuckled.


Top 10 Movies/TV shows to watch with your male friends

Well Hello Gorgeous. In my debut novel SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN Alexandra McCabe and Drew Collins are best friends who fall for each other at different times in their lives. In the book these unlikely friends have a movie night ritual which is kicked off by arguing over what they are going to watch. This got me thinking about similar arguments I’ve had with guy friends about what to watch. So I put together my top 10 list of movies/TV shows to watch with your guy friends. Here we go.

1. Friends with Benefits- starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis

While maybe an obvious choice, Friends with benefits has a little bit of everything for everyone. Comedy, romance, and just the right amount of nudity to keep you and your guy friend intrigued.

2. Grandma’s Boy- starring Allen Covert and Nick Swardson

This one is entirely based on your sense of humor. I personally think this is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. M guy friends love it and quote it constantly. Besides it has a f$@*ing sweet car bed.

3. Scorpion- starring Elyes Gabel and Katherine McPhee

This TV series has it all. It’s 60 min jam packed with wit, lots of action, and the constant will they won’t they saga between Walter and Paige.

4. Forgetting Sarah Marshall- starring Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, and Russell Brand

Hilarious movie, once you get past the awkward Jason Segel full frontal. If you are anything like me you and your guy friend will have a lot of fun trading disgusted looks as Jason Segel’s penis takes full advantage of its 15 minute of fame.

5. Grease- starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton John

This is a musical guys can get behind. No Idea why. Maybe its, the ramma lamma lamma, or the shoo bop shoo wadda. Either way Grease is one musical enjoyed by all.

6. Grown ups 2- starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, and David Spade

I love this movie it is by far one of my favorites and a definitely knee slapper. It is chock full of hilarious antics guaranteed to make both you and your guy friends double over with laughter.

7. That Awkward Moment- starring Zac Efferon, Michael B Jordan, and Miles Teller

This one leans more toward the guys, but it a great love story too. You get the rare glimpse into the mentality of the confirmed bachelor as he finds the love of his life, and I mean come on Zac Efferon

8. Undateable- starring Chris D’Elia and Brent Morin

Best show ever! It’s got romance, its got music, its got grown men talking like little bitty Italian mice! What more could too good buddies enjoy more than laughing hysterically as Justin gets slapped by random celebrities for insulting Ed Sheeran

9. Be Cool- starring John Travolta, Uma Thurman, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

A hidden gem. It’s got music, true love and a gunman with a bad toupee. Not to mention the hilarious music video where The rock sings about you not being woman enough to take his man.

10. Gilmore Girls- Starring Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel

So I know what you are thinking total chick series and this is where you are wrong. Your guy friends may give you a hard time at first, but Lorelei’s wit mixed with Luke’s grumpy charm. Will quickly win them over. So there you have it folks, My recommendations for things to watch with your guy friends. Don’t forget you pick up your copy of SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN to read about the craziness that comes with falling in love with your best friend.
