Sincerely, Carter by Whitney G.

Post by carmen0421 »

“You’re more than ‘just’ my best friend, and I never want to be ‘just friends’ again.”

Arizona and Carter started as childhood enemies and quickly evolved to best friends in elementary school. Their platonic relationship carried them through high school and the majority of college. Most people couldn’t understand how they stayed so close without crossing the blurred lines of adolescent attraction. Yet they defied the odds and stayed “just friends”. They discussed every aspect of their lives. Nothing was off limits with these two. They became even closer as they grew older, comparing stories of flirting, kissing and even sex.

Arizona is an aspiring chef who secretly attends classes at the local culinary schools. She can’t afford the tuition so she tries to quietly blend in with the other students and learn from the best of chefs in the area.

Carter is a law student, top of his class. He is wealthy, good looking and has girls always fighting for his attention.

Eventually Carter realizes that Arizona has grown into a beautiful woman and finds himself attracted to her in a way he never thought possible. Arizona discovers the same about Carter. Quickly, their platonic friendship evolves into more and neither one wants to turn back. They both are suddenly feeling more and can’t deny their overwhelming lust.

The characters quickly move from friends into an awkward stage that has everyone grasping to find out how they will move forward and face this new definition of what has always been and what is to become. How do they move on from "just friends" into lovers without losing everything?

I loved Sincerely, Carter ..the characters leave a lasting impression and also their friendship. The way the author has weaved the character's friendship is quite good. But the transformation of the character's friendship into love could have been better. Somewhere, it seems as if the love part is totally based on sex. The author could have done a better job there. Overall i will give it a 4/5 rating. I recommend it because its definetely a fun ride.

I agree completely Prim. I felt as though the falling in love part of Arizona & Carter's relationship took a back seat to their passion in the beginning. However, many relationships do start that way. ;) Things definitely transformed quickly from friends to lovers but I liked the bumps in the road. Thanks for reading my review!

An amazing story and everything took place just as your would have hoped. The details in every scene (especially the love scenes) made you feel as if you were Arizona, and could taste, touch, smell, hear, and see Carter. Many people might overlook this book because it is a typical best friends since forever falling in love story.

I loved this book. I loved the chemistry ( love scenes) and witty banter between Arizona and Carter. I actually did laugh out loud in a couple of spots in the book.

Hi, I think I'm a little late to this party lol, but I just started reading romance erotica novels and hadn't really found any that held my interest until I read Naughty Boss by Whitney G. So, I searched our forum but there's no discussion yet on this book yet, but I saw this post and am intrigued by your review. Have you read much from the author? Just looking to see if anyone has read many of her other books, or has any others they enjoy reading.
Great review, thanks for sharing!

Love love love this! Reminds me of how my relationship began with the whole friendship turning into a relationship! The characters chemistry is astonishing! Chemistry is a big part of a relationship and these two share something magical from my opinion. Definitely a great read!

Absolutely loved the book! Friends to lovers is one of my favourite tropes, I enjoy following the journey of the main characters and their relationship going from friendship to romantic.
