 I just really love this series and it's not a surprise that I really liked The Hazards of Sleeping with a Friend. Jade and Kyle are friends. Good friends. They work together and go to school together. And they are secretly attracted to each other but neither wants to move forward past friendship for their own reasons, until Kyle is invited to a family function and has to bring his "girlfriend". 
 Of course Jade is going to help him out and it doesn't take long before they both learn the hazards of sleeping with a friend. Playing at being a couple in front of Kyle's family is challenging but not any more than figuring out their relationship when they go back to school. But when tragedy strikes, well, things get even more complicated. 
 What I loved about this story was the realism. The Hazards of Sleeping with a Friend does a great job of capturing what might happen when you cross that line with a friend, and all the emotions that go along with it. I thought they had in under control until the end when things just go sideways for them and I did get a little bit choked up about it. 
 What I like about this series is that the characters act like people I know in real life, and they don't drag things out too long. I loved the way this story ended (nope, not going to tell you!) 
 If you are look for some sweet college love stories with a nice dose of drama and realistic characters, this series might be for you. Recommended.
