Dear Diary
THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY. . .
Rory Camden fell for Nick Shard in the third grade when he helped her save a hapless frog from several older boys. But it seemed that Nick and Rory were destined to be just friends and Rory put her unrequited feelings into her diary.
As they grew into adults, Nick’s feelings for Rory shifted to something more, and he began a campaign to win her love. But Rory had learned – through her father’s infidelity – that no man could be trusted and she couldn’t bring herself to believe she and Nick had a chance together, either.
And then tragedy struck and Rory feared she’d lost Nick forever.

This book bored me. I am serious. The h/H supposedly become best friends, then they become teens, she witnesses her father boinking someone else, the same night the hero kisses her, she says she only wants a friend. Then comes college and they become distant, she has her one and only love affair and concludes men can't be faithful. The hero gets married and that kind of ends their friendship, even when he gets divorced and moves away. Then he comes back as her boss and wants to be friends again. What I found weird was that she called him her best friend but I found no evidence of it. Even at 32 the heroine was judgmental and cynical as ever and pictured her dad and ex when the hero made a move on her. I was seriously bored, the romance was bland, the heroine stupid, the hero unassuming.

I can say I truly adored this novel. It was about love and facing your fear to fight it. It began in childhood for the hero and heroine, they fell in love but wanted to keep their friendship. As they grew into adults they both still loved each other until the hero married another give, go into the future almost ten years and our hero has gotten a divorce and bought out the heroines company where she works. They haven't talked in almost six years and there feelings are still there. Now the heroine must face her fears in order to be with the hero but now it might all be in vain, because his boat just exploded.

Free from the Kindle store. It was OK. Predictable. I read the whole thing anyway...
I realized afterwards that I had read a library book from this author, and had intended to stay away. Oops. Better check Goodreads better before I pick up something new. At least it was free.
