Blog Tour, Giveaway: Seeing You by Michelle Lynn

RELEASE DATE - NOVEMBER 18th

AMAZON

Todd’s my next-door neighbor—an up-and-coming chef ready to make his mark on the world. His dreams are bold and limitless, his drive even more so. He offers me a favor, one that I can’t refuse … only there are strings attached.

Amelia’s my next-door neighbor—a talented photographer waiting for her big break.

Her dreams are authentic and intense, her art even more so. I made her an offer and she accepted … but I asked for something in return.

Two favors meant to make our dreams come true. Our careers were supposed to change, not our friendship. Success was the ultimate goal … until we saw each other in a different light.

Seeing You was quick fun read that was a love triangle of sorts. I would give this book a 3.5 stars and recommend to others. This is the first book I have read by this author but I look forward to reading much more from her in the future.

I really did enjoy the banter between Amelia and Todd-- the neighbors that are good friends and help eachother out... yet both don't realize how much that care for each other until Amelia starts to date Todd's boss Davis. The Triangle will get messy and feelings will be put to the test.. but who will win out in the end? Todd or Davis???

I was torn between the two but towards the end I did choose one and thankfully I chose the right one! EEEEkkkk love when that happens. Go one click to find out who the winner will be!

Aw, I loved this book. It was cute, quick read.

Amelia and Todd are next door neighbors and friends. Todd is a chef aspiring to open his own place. Amelia works in an art gallery with a dream to have a showing of her own. She is a photographer and Todd is usually her subject matter.

In order to have money to be spotlighted at a gallery Amelia needs a second job, and the restaurant Todd works for is looking for a new bartender. Sparks start to fly between Amelia and her new boss (also Todd's boss).

A growing relationship makes Todd re-evaluate his feelings for Amelia. Can he get a chance before it's too late?

You gotta' one click this now!

The secondary characters in this are just as great!

The feels! I absolutely loved Seeing You by Michelle Lynn, and the ending...perfect for the most part. LOL.

Amelia is an artist who wants to put on her own show, ergo she needs money. Since the restaurant that her friend Todd , who also happens to be her favorite subject, works at is in need of help, it is a win/win situation with some strings attached. Yeah, he might have made a huge mistake with that one. He wants to be a chef and own his own place, and when his friend, Amelia starts working with him, it doesn't take long before she starts to develop feelings for his boss. Jealousy rushes to the surface and he soon realizes that he wants her for himself. Will three be a crowd or will she realize that she wants Todd and not Davis? Will all of their dreams come true? Will they get their happy ending? Only one way to get all of your questions answered. I do have to say, I love the run-in at the end in the gallery. I had a big grin on my face almost the entire time. You'll see what I'm talking about when you click to read.

“Yeah. I was thinking…since he’s definitely into you—”

Her head springs my way. “You think he’s into me?” she interrupts. Her eyes open wide in surprise.

Now, she’s perked up.

“Yes.”

A small smile creeps up the corners of her mouth, and she shakes her head in disbelief.

“I think he was just being a nice boss.” She focuses down and I wonder what’s going on in that head of hers. I sensed her low self-esteem a few times, but she usually smiles through it—at least in front of me.

“Trust me, Noodle. He’s interested.”

She shrugs.

“So, I was thinking that you could keep him distracted and get him to go out—at least, out of the kitchen.”

“What?” She stops, and hurt fills her eyes before confusion sets in. “You trying to whore me out or something?”

Shit. I should have led into that easier. Slower, for sure.

A deep chuckle pours out of me. “No.” I attempt to calm my humor down. “I’m not asking you to screw him. Just flirt a little. Keep him out of the kitchen. You might even like him.”

“Is this a stipulation of you getting me the job?” She crosses her arms over her chest and juts out her hip.

She’s oddly cute when she’s mad and damn—those tits.

“No. I already got you the job. I was thinking this would be more of a thank-you gesture.” My shoulders lift.

She inhales a deep breath. “How about just the ‘nightcap’?” She puts nightcap in air quotes.

“I’ll buy the nightcap. Just put yourself out there, and see if he bites.”

This might be getting worse instead of better.

“Seriously, Todd, you are demented.”

She shakes her head and steadily proceeds toward the subway.

I jog to catch up to her. “Hold up.”

I grip her arm, but she yanks it out of my grasp.

“I’m sorry. It’s just that I want to find investors for my own place. He’s always there, never letting me showcase any of my dishes. I’ve tried to go through the chain, asking him to let me create a special here or there, but he’s refused me every time.” I hold her vision with mine until the corners of her lips turn. “Forget I asked.” My shoulders deflate as I realize it was a dick move. I’ve officially lost it. My desperation is definitely clouding my judgment.

“Apology accepted.”

I stop. A warm feeling spurs in my stomach from her ability to forgive me so easily.

I follow her to the top of the subway stairs.

“I saw how he was looking at you in the kitchen, and I just thought it could be good for both of us.”

She giggles and shoves me. “So, you thought, ’yeah, I’ll whore Lia out’.”

“Actually, I thought, ‘I’ll whore Noodle out’.”

Her hand reaches out to shove me again, but I grab ahold of it and pull her in to me. A strawberry scent floats from her hair. This is the first time I’ve hugged her, and from her limp arms, I’m thinking I’ve made another dumbass move by initiating contact.

She laughs into my sweatshirt and steps back. “You’re a rare duck, you know that?” She jogs down the subway steps.

“More like a lone duck,” I mumble behind her.
