Review: "When Things Go Wrong" by Lacey Silks (Cheaters Anonymous #0.5)
Julia "Jules" Blakely and Nick "Scar" Wagner were best friends in high school and when their paths cross once again while on a ski trip with their respective families, they're back to that easygoing friendship they shared. While out skiing, Jules and Scar find themselves at the mercy of a sudden avalanche and are trapped in a cave, neither of them carrying their cellphones. Hoping they'll be found before freezing to death, Jules and Scar do whatever's necessary to stay warm. But then it shouldn't really be too much of a sacrifice to be maximizing body warmth with your best friend who just happens to be a hottie. Right?
When Things Go Wrong is a prequel novella by Lacey Silks and introduces readers to Julia Blakely and Nick Wagner, aka Jules and Scar, two best friends who are reunited five years after they graduate from high school and lead separate lives. The two share a chemistry that could hint at the possibility of something more than friendship but neither believe in committed relationships. There's a lot of flirting that goes on between the two but they never step over the line. Once they get stuck in the cave after the sudden avalanche, however, things finally become heated and simmering feelings come to the surface.
This novella does end on a cliffhanger of sorts and, thankfully, I already had the ARC of the full-length novel that tells Jules and Scar's story six years afterwards. Without it, I would have gone a little nutty with frustration. Haha. When Things Go Wrong was originally part of the third volume of LOL Romantic Comedy Anthology but can now be purchased separately. This serves as a good precursor to Cheaters Anonymous and gives readers an idea of the romantic potential of Jules and Scar as a couple. With humor and romance and two memorable lead characters, When Things Go Wrong gets it right. Four stars! ♥
