For twenty-one-year-old Sydney, being in love with Kyler isn’t anything new. They’d been best friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts the ‘man’ in man-whore. He’s never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being their last year in college, Syd doesn’t want to risk their friendship by declaring her love.

Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal that was too high for him to reach. To him, she’s perfect and she’s everything. But the feelings he has for her, he’s always hidden away or focused on any other female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl he can never have.

But when they’re stranded together at a posh ski resort due to a massive Nor’easter, there’s nothing stopping their red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their friendship survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all? Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip may be a life-changer in more ways than one.

If you remember my Sydney/Adrian Scene from The Golden Lily post, you know how excited I've been and how long I've been waiting for this moment! The filmed Golden Lily scene chosen by the fans has finally been released! I won't say which scene it is, but you'll know as soon as you watch the video.

Basically once the Bloodlines page reaches 40,000 likes, they will film a Sydney/Adrian scene from The Golden Lily! How awesome is that? I'm so excited! I am obsessed with Sydrian, and I desperately want to see a scene filmed! If you have Facebook and love Vampire Academy and Bloodlines, then please like the Bloodlines page. Thanks! :)
