 Hollywood consultant Renly Cooper is fed up with relationships. His recent breakup with a leading lady played out across the tabloids, and the former Navy Seal is more than ready to focus on his new position as an agent at the elite Stark Security agency. He’s expecting international stakes. Instead, his first assignment is to protect one of Damien Stark’s friends from a stalker. A woman who, to his delight, turns out to be one of his closest childhood friends. After a foray into online dating puts tech genius Abby Jones in danger, she needs a bodyguard, and her business partner, Nikki Fairchild Stark, enlists help from Stark Security. When the assigned agent turns out to be her best friend from junior high—and her first crush—she’s thrilled to discover he’s even more delicious now. She hopes one sexy night can turn into more, but Renly is firmly in the friends-with-benefits camp. As the threat to Abby increases, she tries to keep her growing feelings for Renly at bay. But as the sparks between them burn even hotter, can they go from friends to lovers when the first order of business is simply to keep Abby alive? **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.** 3.5 Heart Review by Ashley Getting to meet the newest member to join the Stark Security team? Yes please! Throw in a sassy woman and a vulnerable yet tough military man and I knew I wanted to get my eyeballs on Memories of You. I liked Abby from the start. She was genuine and kind, even if she was being a little naive about the danger she's facing. But when things escalate, and it was Renly, her childhood best friend that shows up, all those old feelings come back to the surface. Too bad he doesn't do relationships and she doesn't do hookups. Abby and Renly's second-chance romance was fast paced, steamy and laced with the right amount of creep factor (from the bad guy). I could feel my heart pounding as things played out in what seemed like slow motion. I will say that things evolved from just friends to 'I love you and can't live without you' rather quickly. But I get it, nothing like a life-threatening situation to put things into perspective. And these two were just meant to be and nothing- life or circumstances or fear were going to keep them apart again. About the Author  J.
