Choosing You (A Cedarville Novel #3) by Bree Kraemer Rated 5 stars

When Carly Grahams two cousins fell in love with her two best friends Carly was left behind and all alone. She could either be the third wheel on their dates or be alone. So her new best friend has become Vodka. Problem was she has been thinking of someone, Anthony. He is the best friend of Brandon and Logan, her cousins. She cannot stop thinking of him sober or drunk, awake or asleep. So she makes a mistake while drinking and drunk dials him…...and leaves him 4 messages. Mortified Carly isn't sure how to handle this situation.
Anthony thinks Carly hates him because she is so prickly towards him. His and Carly's friends keep telling him she likes him but is trying to deny her feelings. After he receives her drunk hot-as-all-get-out messages he is unsure whether to confront her or ignore the whole situation. After a few days he can't stand it anymore and goes to confront her. What happens next will knock your socks off!

Carly is very insecure about relationships due to a past history. She has decided to never marry or fall in love. Anthony is breaking her barriers down the more she is around him. He makes her feels so safe when he is around. When shocking news arrives and her life is turned upside down….Anthony is there for her.

I love the cover! It fits the story well for the beginning of the story where he wants her but she is all deny, deny, deny. Carly is a speak your mind gal. I love that she blurts things out. She just can't help it. I feel she changed when Reed showed up in her life but every once in awhile the old Carly comes out again. Anthony is the calmest guy I have ever read. Nothing seems to faze him except the possibility of losing Carly. He is 100% on board with being with her. I love that about him! Oh and that he likes his friends but he would rather hang out with Carly any day of the week.
The first kiss between these two is the best, steamiest kiss I have ever read about.
Holy Smoke! It was hot! I seriously wanted to be her in that moment!
The camaraderie between the girls is so much fun to read. Always joking with each other they obviously have some history together. I have not read the first two books in this series. I did not feel like I was missing anything. Although I was intrigued about the their stories.
