Lines We Cross: A Small Town Sweet RomCom (Nickel Bay Brothers Book 1) Kindle Edition

Small towns were made for second chances…even if it’s your best friend’s sister.

Skylar Rae

I’m getting by just fine on my own when the boy who stole my heart and ran away twelve years ago shows up in town again. He’s a big shot baseball player now, needing my help to rehab his knee. If he’d just lay off the flirting and the dimples he throws with each grin, I might be able to do my job. Good thing I’m not dumb enough to fall for him a second time.

Max

I promised my best friend I would never make a move on his little sister. I kept that promise—if you don’t count that one kiss senior year—but now that we’re adults and I’m moving back home, all bets are off. Skylar Rae isn’t the same person I knew twelve years ago and neither am I. It’ll take a lot more healing than I expected to see if she and I can cross that line again.

Lines We Cross is a sweet small-town romantic comedy that can be read as a standalone in the Nickel Bay Brothers series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An emotion filled romance read
    Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2020

    Skylar Rae, a physical therapist, is scheduled to help Max, third baseman for a professional baseball team, rehabilitate his knee after surgery. As the story progresses buttons are pushed, the past is rehashed, and forgiveness is their only way forward. Marika ray’s Lines We Cross is an emotion filled romance read. In this book she added some sass similar to her Beach Squad series but poured on the sweet in this one.

    I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

    It took me a quick minute to settle in with this author's writing style but once I did, I really enjoyed myself. I liked the alternating voices, the small town setting and the second chance at love theme. The characters were fun and I love the idea of this band of brothers coming back together after years apart.
    This book is my first time reading this author and I know she writes both steamy and sweet romances. I'm looking forward to reading more of her sweet romances.

    This was a new author for me. I absolutely loved this book. It was well written and I couldn’t put it down. Max was a baseball player that got hurt in a game. Who was also in love with his best friend’s sister. Skylar is grieving over losing her brother. This one will have you feeling things you never felt before. If you are looking for a great read look no further this one is the one to read

    A fantastic start to what is sure to be a must read series. A sweet romance with characters you instantly fall in love with. Max and Skylar are perfect for each other but of course there are obstacles that have the potential to get in the way. Love this story and cannot wait for the next book to come out.

    5.0 out of 5 stars First time Marika Ray reader - LOVE HER!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2020
    As an avid reader, it's hard for me to fall in love with authors - but there's just something about the way Marika Ray writes that makes me think we could be friends in real life!

    "Lines We Cross (Nickel Bay Brothers Book 1)" introduces us to Skylar Rae and Max, two people who find themselves trying to resolve some issues from their past teen lives while also trying to move forward and become friends as adults.

    Skylar is a physical therapist who isn't suffering in the beauty department. She could probably have any man she sets her sights on, but no one seems to have really ever captured her interest - not since a one-time kiss from her brother's best friend on his graduation night.

    Max has spent the last 12 years playing MLB and left small town Nickel Bay the day after he graduated high school. He broke the "bro-code" by kissing his best friend's younger sister that night, but after leaving home to follow his dreams of becoming a professional baseball player, he never returned to his home town until his friend's funeral - who also happened to be Skylar's older brother.

    After sustaining what could be a career-ending injury, Max returns home to find that he was referred to Skylar to help strengthen his knee; Skylar isn't quite as excited as Max is about rekindling old feelings. She is hurt that Max never returned to Nickel Bay to be by her brother's side before his death. Feelings of anger and mistrust guide her as she strives to focus solely on his therapy appointments at her office.

    This is a story of old friendships, misunderstandings and moving forward. Can they put the past behind them to find love, or are they forever going to be in the "Friend Zone" because, let's face it, no one really wants to go against the "bro-code."

    There was so much I loved about this book. Being from a small town myself, I actually FELT this book! So many good scenes, it's as if Nickel Bay serves as its own character. I loved the way the author used such a strong supporting cast of characters, too. I found myself being able to mentally see so many scenes and laughed out loud a few times. It was a well rounded and well written book, and I can't wait to see how the characters evolve in Book 2 of the series.

    This was just the change of pace my heart needed! Max & Skylar Rae gave me everything I love in a small town romance.

    I got sweet, some heat & a dose of real emotions to make it feel genuine. It’s a great read & I am looking forward to more stories from this group of characters.
