I was a bit floored. This is NOT like any story by this author that I have ever read. Yes...it's a sweet story of childhood friends who had grown up together but have drifted apart in the last five years. The bond of friendship has hidden their love for a long time and the story is how they discover that. This is where it begins to shift away from what I'm accustomed to getting from anything that L.A. Witt writes. There was so little of the usual heat or sizzle that readers are accustomed to from this author. Somewhere around the middle, the story started to drag. Things were happening but there was nothing happening between Justin and Tyler, the two people that something should have been happening. By the time they got together I really didn't care any longer. If you have patience for a really...and I mean REALLY, slow burn then you will probably like this one more than I did. I'm not holding one mediocre offering against one of my favorite authors, as no one is perfect, and everyone is entitled to have a bad day. ( )
