Most Likely to Succeed by Kate Davies is a sweet and hot novella that will leave you wanting more.
Kelsey Moore was voted the girl most likely to succeed by her graduating class. But unexpected life circumstances took her away from her dreams. Now she works in her family flower shop helping her mother and she finds no way out.
Nathan Barrow has not returned to town since he graduated and moved. Now with the ten year reunion coming, he finds it to be the perfect opportunity to follow up with the only friend he had in school, his lab partner Kelsey.
Now Kelsey will have to find a way to face what life has given her and not be embarrassed about it when she sees her fellow classmates. But her main worry is facing Nathan, her friend and crush, after how competitive they were and show him that she has done nothing with her life since high school.
Life is always a surprise, and the biggest surprise for both will be the instant attraction they have towards each other. But with her low self-esteem Kelsey only wants a no-strings weekend fling only. Nathan will have to work on a way to help her see what she is really worth, while convincing her that giving them a chance is something worth her time.
I hope that we will be able to know what happens to Kelsey’s friends in the next book(s) in the series, for I feel there are more adventures to be had at this ten-year reunion.

Book one in the Girls Most Likely to…
Ten years after being voted Most Likely to Succeed, Kelsey Moore is still living in her hometown, still working in her family’s flower shop, and too embarrassed to attend her high school reunion. Only the chance to reconnect with her study buddy—and secret crush—Nathan Barrow tempts her to go.
Nathan isn’t sure why he came back for the reunion after spending the past decade working abroad. But when he runs into his former lab partner, Kelsey, he’s sure glad he did. The chemistry between them is as potent as ever, and when she offers him a weekend of wild, no-strings-attached sex, Nathan knows he’d be a fool to say no.
Nathan can’t be tied to one place for long. But the more time they spend together—in and out of bed—the more Kelsey wonders if their reunion could become something more permanent. That is, if Nathan is still interested when he finds out she’s been less than honest with him about her life since graduation…
