Alex had always been taught what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors. The outside world saw her life as idyllic and picture perfect. But of course, things are never what they seem.
After watching his philandering father tear his family apart and break his mother’s heart time and time again, Mick vowed to never cause another person that kind of pain. Keep it simple. No relationships.
But then there was the sweet, exotically beautiful Alex. There was always Alex. With her…things were never simple. She was forbidden fruit. His sister’s friend. Off limits.
Alex was head-over-heels for Mick the moment her twelve-year old eyes landed on him. She knew at this young age that they could never be. Even if he wasn’t her best friend’s brother, he was still Mickey freaking Jacobs. Now, all grown up, Mick is gorgeous, the life of the party and an eternal bachelor. He’ll never be able to give Alex what she needs, and she’s not sure she could risk the pain that giving Mickey Jacobs her heart would surely inflict.
Can Mick and Alex find a way to heal themselves by loving each other?
Can he give her MORE?


"More" is book 2 in lisa Shelby's you and me series.
I really love friends to lovers romances and more was one of them. It was sweet and hot at all the right places. This book turned me all mushy mushy and made me wanted to hug my teddy *lol*.



Their relationship is a bit complex with all that pulling and pushing and denial. There were definitely some moments when I wanted to smack their heads into the wall and shake some sense into them. Their pushing and pulling really irritated the hell out of me. Alex was a bit unreasonable one whereas Mick was comparatively the mature one. The story sure had some twists that I didn't see coming and it added to the angst level of the book.


"More" was a fun and great read. The characters were developed and relatable. Somewhere in the middle I felt that the author was trying to stretch the story and more details were given than required, I wanted more of Mick and Alex but still I liked the book a lot. I loved how Alex's and Mick's relationship nurtured and intensified with time. They became more reasonable and understanding. The plot was refreshing and the author had a great hold over her words.
