The Difference Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,559 ratings

I’ve kissed a lot of frogs, just to be covered in warts. I’ve been lied to, cheated on, and used more times than I can count. I don’t have it in me to keep going. I need a break from it all. I need time for the wounds to heal, and the scars to fade. Wouldn’t you know it’s my luck, to meet a gorgeous man, after declaring my self-imposed break? He’s charming, sexy, and determined to change my mind.

I wasn’t looking for her, but when I overheard her conversation, I had to add my two cents. Within minutes of talking to her, I knew she was unlike anyone I’d ever met. Bruised from past relationships, she’s built a fort around her heart. Doesn’t she know the prince always rescues the princess? I think about her all the time. The more I’m around her, the more I want to be. I’ve made my choice. It’s her. Now, all I have to do is prove to her that I’m the difference.

About the Author

Kaylee Ryan has had a passion for reading since she was a little girl. That passion has slowly led to spinning romantic tales, and a one-click addiction. When she doesn’t have her nose stuck in her kindle or fingers glued to the keyboard, you can find Kaylee hanging out with friends and family. She loves all genres of music, and enjoys scrapbooking. She lives in Ohio with her husband (her real life happily ever after) and their rambunctious little boy.

↪ R E V I E W ↩This is not my first read by this author & I LOVE LOVE LOVE her writing style. So, I am very thankful to be able to receive an ARC! I can say right now before all my review, THIS IS MY FAVORITE KAYLEE RYAN BOOK TO THIS DATE! FAVORITE!!!I won't lie when I say that even in the beginning it's very light but Lucas is SO FREAKING HOT! Just the way he talks and carries himself and interacts with Addyson. He is so different then the men she meets, but she has her right to reserve after all that she's been through in relationships. When Lucas asks for her phone, little did she know he put in his number and texted himself to have hers. Classic move!! Addyson is so jaded, it's not even funny. Talk about not trusting a man but also not trusting yourself regards it. Good luck to Lucas for those walls are high and constructed! Justin on the other had, his game is terrible haha oh man, you'll see. Justin in the friend of Lucas who hit's on Harper. Weak weak game *face palm*Quote from book: "I'll show her I'm the difference."Man does Addyson give Lucas a run for his money. It was great to see a woman 'try' and resist but when you've had the relationships she's had, hell I wouldn't even want to jump back in. Lucas only works harder to get over that wall, it's so sweet, sexy and romantic. I love these two, if I didn't know them and met them i'd think they were meant for one another all along. LET THE CAT & MOUSE GAME BEGIN!I am so in love with this story and the characters. Also helps that Kaylee Ryan writing style is always perfect, smooth and easy to read. Relatable characters, page turner scenes, entertaining and ROMANTIC! The hero in here is so SWOON WORTHY I mean UBER swoon worthy, it's beautiful! The heroine is broken, very broken from her past and she holds on as tight as she can to that broken, that's where the handsome sexy hero comes in and the shattering...it's...you won't be able to stop reading! I know you'll fall in love with the characters as much as I did!! TOP 2019 MUST READ list!Quote from book: "Can I kiss you, Luke?" I ask softly. He leans in close. "Every day for the rest of your life."RATING: ★★★★★ PLUSRECOMMENDED? ☑ HIGHLY↪ H A P P Y - R E A D I N G ↩

Who new a girls night out could lead to finding Mr Right. Addyson our leading lady has not had the best luck in finding the right guy. She seems to have attracted all the wrong ones. Deciding its time to take a step back she doesn't count on the hot sexy guy overhearing her conversation with her bestie Harper.

Lucas is attracted to Addyson, but he can see she's skittish and he's going to have to go slow with her. He knows that she could be the one he just needs to break down her walls.

A super sweet romance that delivers two happily ever after's. Yep, her best friend Harper also meets her forever in the form of Lucas's best friend Justin who was also with him the night he met Addyson.

It's a slow burn romance that has all the elements of a feel good romance. No drama, no cheating.

This was such a sweet love-at-first sight book. Addy has been hurt in the past and no longer trusts men. Lucas sees her and wants her. It's pretty much love at first site for both them two and their best friends, Harper and Justin. If you're looking for a "so sweet it almost hurts" kind of romance, this would be it. There was very little in terms of angst between the couples- one misunderstanding and of course, Lucas needs to get past Addy's walls, but generally, expect that you'll be smiling through most of it.

I have to admit that I love love love the really sweet low angst stories. This one was great except there were times with Addy's issues with men in the past got a bit tiring. Lucas was always there for her and was a rock so it felt a bit contrived to make her so angry but like I said, this is a generally smooth, low angst story.

I purchased and listened to the audiobook. Callie Dalton did really well. I thought she was able to play multiple characters pretty flawlessly and switch between female and male characters well. And Teddy Hamilton? I buy books just because I know TH is the narrator because he's one of my favorites- as always, he doesn't disappoint. The narration elevated the story and i'm glad I got to listen.

Amazing love story about Addy & Luke ! She had horrible boy friends in the past & decided to put a long break & not date for a long while .She & Harper met Luke & Justin at a bar . Addy said no to getting to know him. Luke told her he was the difference & kept showing up until he had convinced her to give him a chance. Now married with kids , both are happier than ever !!! Great job writing !!!!

Can you love a book too much? I don't think so. Because I am so in love with Addy and Lucas. I sincerely loved these two. And this book was something special. I can always count on Kaylee Ryan to write a masterpiece. And she never disappoints. She always writes from the heart. And it shows in her writing. My favorite book of all time, out of all the 1400 books I've read., is Tempting Tatum.

I know that in Kaylee Ryan's works there is so much love. And the story evolves around that love. There's a small bit of drama thrown in for some dramatic effect. But it never overwhelms the story. The build up for whomever the couple is, to actually get together makes for a very frustrating reader. But it is absolutely worth the weight when it happens.

I am absolutely in love with this book. On so many different levels. It hit all the feels. It made you think. It left you with a full heart. It was undoubtedly one of the best books I've read. I literally can't praise it enough. Kaylee Ryan is one of my favorite authors. Her work is a guaranteed smile. And I know I'll be throughly entertained.

Small note- I cried like a big baby when Lucas says "I'm going to make love to you"

What a great story! Oh to have a man like Lucas. Kind, understanding, loving....ohhh. I just love all of Kaylee's stories. She was recommended by my sister and I cannot get enough. With most authors, I read a few stories and then I am looking for a new author. But not with Kaylee's. I do fall in love with each and every story. Thank you Kaylee Ryan! You are one of the best!

It was a cute book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Won't re-read but it was still good. The H was very patient, understanding, and an all-around good guy. Now, he is the perfect book boyfriend. There was one paragraph near the end of the book that cracked me up. It was when the H told the h that he wanted her to move in with him. He then assured her that he knows she always has to think things through so instead of moving her stuff into his house tonight, that he'll give her until tomorrow. Lol. Just thinking about that still makes me laugh. Again, it was a cute story.

I liked a lot about this book. It was a very nice story and you could really feel the connection between the two main characters. The side characters were also very entertaining. You can tell that the author is very talented. However, there are certain things in this book that bother me. First being "the difference". It's just cheesy and groan worthy. They're constantly telling each other that they're the difference. It's like the author is trying to make "fetch" happen. The biggest problem I have however is with the guy. Later on in the book he becomes much more tolerable but at the beginning he's everything that is wrong with guys. She tells him she's not interested and then she needs time to be alone but he completely disregards that and is constantly in her personal space, touching her and refusing to take no for an answer. That is not romantic. It's creepy. Women who read this and find it romantic only do so because the guy is good-looking. Creepy is creepy. I just don't think it's romantic when a guy has zero respect for what a woman tells him she wants. Maybe I'm crazy but that's just me.

I was having trouble finding a story to read that engaged me in the first chapters. I'm just happy to find out this book on social media, and I downloaded it, and it was worthy.

I really really liked this story. I loved Lucas, he's so sweet and patient with Addy, even when I was mad that she didn't let him in. And that epilogue was the best! So real.

I love Kaylee Ryan's books this one is no exception. I loved Lucas he knew what he wanted and nothing was going to stop him getting it not even Addy herself. Lucas is the perfect package caring loving protective. The begining of the book was so funny with Addy reliving her past relationships it made you see why she was so against any kind of relationship with Lucas but thank God he broke through her barriers he had the patients of a saint. If you love books with perfect relationships and no angst this book is for you. I loved it and couldn't put it down.

Loved the chemistry between Lucas and Addison . I laughed from the beginning of this book my my her dates story they were so funny. I loved Justin and Harper too. Lucas was a dream lover he kept on pushing to show Addy that not all guys are the same that he was the difference. No angst in this book just a cute love story with a bit of sass

Nice easy romantic read.
Addyson has been hurt so many times in the last by pathetic so called men, that she now has a man block on. She struggles to trust men now and is worried about having her heart broke AGAIN.
Lucus Prescott did not think that going to his local bar and finding the love of his life while listening in on her conversation about the pathetic so called men.
Can he break down Addyson's wall.
Love this story and have fallen in love with Lucus Prescott xxx
