The quiet one. Yep, that was me. The brother that rarely said anything and instead, stood back and observed. That is, until too much tequila and very little thought had me swinging my junk around in the middle of a crowded college party. Hell, I even wore tassels in areas tassels should never be placed. Let’s just say, the hashtag #dicksaswinging will follow me around forever. You may have heard it a time or two already.
In my defense, things like that happened all the time because I lived in more of a zoo than an actual fraternity house. It just never happened to me. Suffice to say, I learned my lesson.
Seeing Ruby amidst all the chaos was certainly unexpected and it stopped everything around me. The room suddenly went quiet and everyone else disappeared. She stood out—the timid way she worried her hands and the way she looked around, almost as if she was ready to run away.
As I got to know her, I realized she was nothing like the girls I normally dated. She was quiet, innocent, and sweet. She was the complete opposite of me and if I was a better man, I would walk away. But I’m not and I can’t.
And to think, all it took was Just One Glance and everything changed.
EXCERPT REVEAL:
“It’s the bathroom, you douche.” Again Eli did not look amused or forgiving.
“I was half asleep, and to my defense the bathroom door was unlocked. Who takes a shower and leaves a door unlocked? Especially around here!”
“So it’s Blake’s fault now.” Eli kicked his foot out and Corbin tried to scoot away. A grunt escaped him when he felt the kick.
That’s when the door came open and Blake walked out of the bathroom looking like Ralphie from Christmas Story. She wore a big pink fluffy onesie, leaving no part of her body uncovered. We all stopped and looked at her as she remained frozen in the now open bathroom doorway.
I had no doubt that Red bought her the atrocious outfit.
“Hey Ralphie,” the words were out before I could stop them and everyone around me laughed, except Eli. Oh, and Blake.

Just Once Glance is book five in the Oh Tequila series and while each can be read as a standalone you do not want to miss these boys' antics. But...I will say the girlfriends are no better and just may be better at pranks and revenge. Love it! It is hilarious! We all know Tequila can be your friend or your worst enemy.
Jay and Ruby are different, but it's not just the quiet girl he sees. There is so much more to Ruby. Your heart will heart for her, though there are some characters who make it all better. Jay may not be as outgoing as the rest of the fraternity, but he is no saint either. HAHA! We all have a turning point and this was theirs. You will enjoy this story, it moved quickly, but felt a little rushed at the end. I know we will see them in upcoming stories, but a little more on some situations would have made it even better (my opinion, but you will still love the story, cause I did). The epilogue though. You may be feeling a little Jaded by the ending, but Oh Tequila has done it again. Oh my, excited and anxious to see how this plays out.
