Plot: Saving myself for marriage, not hardly.
Saving myself for someone who will make my heart race, most definitely.
In theory it's a good plan, however even the best-laid plans fall through. Seeing him, being around him, alerts all my senses and I dream about being his, wrapping myself in his arms and never letting go. The only problem – he sees me as his sister.
My name's Ava Evans and I'm in love with my older brother's best friend, Nate Garrison.
Burying myself in work for the past two years, avoiding any thought of her, has worked, until now. She's everywhere, in my dreams, in my gym, and in my heart. I'm not sure when I fell in love with Ava Evans, but I am completely in love with my best friends baby sister.
At first she was too young for me and that made it easy to stay away. Now, it's a struggle to keep my distance.
How am I supposed to resist her when I can’t escape her? If he ever found out, it would ruin our friendship. Even with that knowledge all she would have to do is...
Just Say When.

☆✮ My Review ✮☆
☆ I received an ARC via Give Me Books in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! ☆
Just Say When was one of those crushing on your brother’s best friend and hiding a sweet spot for your best friend’s baby sis types of reads.
A book standalone, it entailed the tale of Ava Mae and Nate.
What started as what was thought to be an unrequited love on both sides, turns into something more as a chance of fate brings them together and the two find themselves delving into what was thought to be futile and forbidden.
Author Kaylee Ryan definitely bridges a leap of faith between two childhood friends and how they seal that gap into lovers. While there is that doubt about how Ava’s brother and Nate’s bestie will react to their budding relationship, a lot of the plot was about taking the plunge and embracing on some risks of the heart.
A very sweet ride, a bit cheesy at times, but over all cute.

☆✮ Excerpt ✮☆
I
reach the table just in time to watch as Kara pulls Ava to the dance floor.
They stop right at the edge as if they cannot wait a second longer to move to
the beat. We watch them in silence, enjoying the show they’re putting on. That
is until two guys join them. At first, it looks innocent enough, but when the
one closest to Ava puts his hands on her, I know I have to squash this.
“We can’t let them have all the fun.” I motion to the dance floor. I’m pissed
off this guy is mauling her, and I’m pissed off at Zach. I can’t believe he let
his groupies pull him away from Ava. He doesn’t deserve her.
Tanner grins. “You don’t have to tell me twice.” He places his now empty water
bottle on the table and heads straight for Kara.
I’m hot on his heels. I stop in front of Ava and she smiles hesitantly just as
the song changes to “Talk Dirty.” The guy who was trying to make his move on
her is no longer touching her, which is in his best interest. Ava seems nervous
as to where she should touch me. This is new for us. I take her hands and rest
them on my shoulders as I move my hips to the beat. I keep an eye on the
jackass to make sure he knows she’s unavailable. I don’t want him touching her
again.
I pull her tight little body close to mine, not caring that this is Ava
Mae, my best friend’s little sister. She’s forbidden, but for tonight, for this
time in which I actually have her in my arms, I don’t let it stop me. Instead,
I pull her close and pretend she’s mine.
Ava rocks her hips against mine and I tighten my grip. Her big brown eyes find
mine and her stare is intense. If I didn’t know better, I would think that she
wants me just as fiercely as I want her. Pulling her as close as I can get her,
I bury my face in her neck and match the rhythm of her hips as they grind
against mine. I wish like hell she were mine.
