Romantic Times WINNER for Best New Adult Book of the Year

"I wanted to tell him all my secrets, but he became one of them instead."

Chloe Rivers never thought she would keep secrets from her best friend, Gavin Rhodes. Then again, she never imagined she would fall in love with him either. When she finally reveals her feelings, rejection shatters her, rendering her vulnerable and sending her straight into the destructive arms of the wrong guy.

The Rhodes twins never saw the betrayal coming. Chloe has always been their forbidden fantasy--sweet, beautiful, and tempting. But soon the lines between family, friendship, and love become as tangled as the roots of the treehouse they once shared.

Now it's too late . . .

Four years after a devastating tragedy, Chloe and Gavin find themselves crashing back into each other's lives. Haunted by the past, they're forced to come to terms with all that has transpired to find the peace they deserve. Except they can't seem to get near each other without combatting an intense emotional connection that brings them right back to where it all started . . . their childhood treehouse.

Chloe still holds her secrets close, but this time she isn't the only one with something to hide. Can their deep-rooted connection survive the destruction of innocence?

I didn’t ealize that this book was going to pull at my heartstrings the way it did! I stumbled across this book while I was scrolling through Amazon to see what free kindle books were available. And let me tell you, I’m so happy this was one of them!Allen paints such a beautiful perfect, she made you feel like you were in the book. She gave you the details that made you fall in love with the character, she made you feel some type of way. The amount of detail she put into creating these characters made the story flow SO great. You weren’t missing anything. Yet it didn’t feel like she was stringing along the plot.In my personal book, this story was flawless. I like a good happy ending to a romance book. No matter the amount of drama, I just want a happy ending. The relationship between Chloe and Gavin was a rocky one and one might say they were back and forth too much, which I tend to say about those types of romances. But in this case I didn’t feel that way. I thought both went through so much and they just had to understand one another and move on. And I think the fact that Allen put other characters in the story to push Chloe and Gavin made that back and forth not seem childish, like I normally see it as.Overall this was a great book and I can see myself reading it again! And I can’t wait to see what else K. K. Allen has that I might enjoy! ALSO, check for trigger warnings! I would say this book is 18+.

We will see if their deep-rooted connection can survive the destruction of innocence. – I enjoyed the story of Chloe, Gavin, and Devon. Their friendship and love was intense. I also liked the “fight bulling” aspect of this book. Bulling is a problem not addressed enough. I recommend this book, but I got frustrated with Chloe and Gavin for keeping an important factor from each other too long.

4.0 out of 5 stars Childhood friendship with so much more
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2020

This book has been on my TBR forever and I've owned the book almost as long. So I figured it was time to finally dive in and read the book this New Adult book.

This is a story of a childhood friendship that was a bit more complicated than we were originally led to believe. The story of Chloe and Gavin goes back to when they were 12 years old. But the story also includes Devon, Gavin's twin brother. These 3 become thick as thieves growing up as neighbors and sharing a treehouse between their properties. That treehouse holds many memories for them all. Good and bad. Chloe has a tough time at school when a friend becomes a bully, but those brothers are her safe place and they quickly form a close knit friendship. What happens when their dynamics change?

The story includes their past as well as the present, which is after college graduation when Chloe returns to her childhood home with a local job and the boy is still "next door". Then we start a friends to lovers, second chance romance between Gavin and Chloe.

This story is told in dual POV with more Chloe than Gavin, but I'm glad we got to hear from both sides. To hear what was going through both of their heads during the same time is an eye opener (and I like the way KK Allen had us experience both sides during particular situations). Their journey to an HEA is a little long and kind of a slow burn, but the attraction between Gavin and Chloe is evident. They have to work together on an event through Chloe's place of employment and they still live next door to one another. It just was hard for both characters to get over their pasts and things that drastically changed their futures. Those things became a little bothersome sometimes, but for the most part, I enjoyed the characters. Maybe Gavin more so than Chloe, but these two obviously had a story to tell and a journey to experience. The main characters as well as the side characters were an integral part to the story and I was here for it.

A story of the past and present and the friendships they surround themselves with, this is an emotional ride, with some twists that you may or may not see coming. I think I figured out some things and that's the only reason I was a little frustrated with the characters and how they handled situations, but overall, I enjoyed the story, the plot, the characters. I can't wait to see what comes next for some side characters.

"The best kind of love is one that stems from friendship. One that grows as it's nurtured with patience and kindness, blossoming at just the right time. All it has to do is withstand the forces of nature that threaten to drown it, pluck it, blow it, and burn it until it withers back into its soil. As if it never existed at all."

5.0 out of 5 stars highlight of 2020

What a book.

I finally read Up in the Treehouse after I read Under the Bleachers a few weeks ago and I‘m so mad at myself for not reading it sooner.

I instantly fell in love with the characters and the story itself.
The story was phenomenal and sooo much more angsty than I was anticipating. I was on the edge of my seat during the whole book and I was so emotional. So many emotions ran through me while reading and I couldn‘t force myself to stop even if I wanted to. Chloe and Gavin made my heart bleed.

K.K.Allen is a great writer and she‘s killing it with this story/book. I loved how you got to see the past, present and their future and the journal entry‘s where perfect.

I don‘t even know what else to say. This book is one of my highlights of 2020!

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly amazing!!

She's the girl that they protect, they are the boys who own her heart.

One shared sacred place is where they forge a true friendship.

Years pass by and feelings grow, can the trio keep the balance or will one step in the wrong direction destroy everything...

Oooohhh, what a read! I'm still in the process of stitching my heart back together as I write this!

From the moment they all met I was hooked, I knew this was something special and I wasn't wrong!

Competitive and fierce, artistic and devoted the twins are everything you could want. They are opposites in so many ways, yet you can see the love they share both brotherly and of her.

The past shaped their lives and that saddened me greatly. I admit I had to pause a few times whilst reading this as the writing is so real, so raw and it did feel like my heart was breaking.

I wouldn't of wanted it any other way as it was needed the grey dark skies before the sun can shine through.

Beautifully poignant is the best way I can describe this.

K.K Allen is simply a genius, and I can never get enough of her words!

5.0 out of 5 stars Angst rollercoaster with a HEA - loved it
Reviewed in Australia on April 3, 2022

I hadn't read any K K Allen books before and I so glad I didn't go by some of the reviews because I loved it.

It more descriptive than some romance books I read so it did take me a little while (a few chapters maybe) to get used to the style. I found it well written with a great plot. Most romances you know there's a HEA but I did begin to wonder and the plot sucked me in and wouldn't let go.

Just when you think you've got it figured out here comes another twist. There is a lot of going between the past and the present. Some of the time it has the persons age and other times the year however it's needed so we can work out why the people are like they are in the present.

I loved this book and I'll be reading more from this author.

I really love the message of anti-bullying.
What was a little annoying was Chloe‘s behavior.
Gavin was great, even better as a father, a lovely character!
