About When You Became Mine:

I was twelve years old when I fell in love with Piper Kelley. Even at the age of eight, she was everything I wasn’t: brave, bold, and beautiful. The night of my college graduation party, I finally made my move, but Piper only had eyes for one man—my younger brother. With a battered heart, I left for Vegas, determined to put her behind me. But eight years later, fate proved once again that it had never cared about my plans. Now, I’m back home, and determined not to fall into the same trap I spent the majority of my adolescence trying to escape. But when Piper finds herself at the risk of losing her medical license, I realize just how far I’m willing to go to protect her. I was twelve when Piper Kelley became mine. It’s time I let her know.

Exclusive Excerpt:

He tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear, his hand lingering as his thumb swiped the last bit of moisture from my face. “I love this song.” My brows wrinkled and I strained my ears to hear what song was playing. “Yeah.” I forced a small smile and let my eyes flutter shut. My body began to sway with the music, and I let the artist’s soulful voice wash over me. “Maybe one day I’ll get to dance at their concert.” Lawson moved and I opened my eyes to see him stand. Jumping from the last two steps, he turned back to me, his hand outstretched. “Why wait?” With a soft smile on his face, his eyes sparkled as he asked, “Dance with me?” I shook my head. “No, uh, I’m not really good.” He laughed, the sound warming me. “Me neither. Come on.” What the hell? I stood and brushed off the back of my pants, hesitating. Who was this guy? His smile widened, and he winked—Lawson Reed, the nerdiest man I knew actually winked at me, before giving his outstretched hand a little shake. With a lift of my shoulders, I sucked in a breath before stepping into his open arms. It was strange at first, but when he pulled me in close I rested my head on his chest, desperate for any morsel of comfort I could get. His heart beat strong, steady, in rhythm with my own. I allowed my lids to flutter shut again and I inched myself closer, holding Lawson impossibly tighter while he slowly rocked me back and forth. The music played, and I got lost in the words. The way they felt. The way Lawson felt. The way I felt in Lawson’s arms. All too soon, the song ended, and a more upbeat one took its place.

I’m a sucker for a friends to lovers romance and I thought that’s exactly what I was getting into. Except I’m not sure I’d call Piper and Lawsons relationship a friendship at the beginning. Growing up together their families are extremely close and Piper and Lawson are either bickering or ignoring each other more like siblings or cousins tend to do. Lawsons brother Hampton is best friends with Piper and she only has eyes for him and the two of them are always together which leaves Lawson sometimes been left to be the older, more responsible one out of their little group. Lawson has always had this intense attraction to Piper and a need to keep her safe and although he’s spent years trying to get over her, even going so far as not seeing her for years, when his job takes him back to his home town he finds his feelings haven’t diminished in the slightest and he’s yet again about to step in to help her out when his brother lets her down. Getting to really know each other as adults, their friendship grows stronger (in between the bickering and a few bumps in the road) and it’s getting impossible for Lawson to hide just how far he’ll go to keep Piper happy. 

I fell so hard for Lawson. He’s unbelievably sweet, loyal and caring and I found it hard to not get frustrated with Piper for not seeing him the way I did. Piper was another great character that I really liked. She’s dedicated and ambitious but there’s a softer, more dependent side to her that makes her extremely easy to like. 

I adored this story. I love AS Teague’s style of writing and the emotions that she makes you feel when you’re reading one of her books and When You Became Mine was everything I was hoping it would be.
