About the author
Linda Turner
134 books15 followersBorn in San Antonio, Texas, Linda Turner and her identical twin sister, Brenda, were known throughout the neighborhood in which they grew up simply as "Twin."
No one except their parents and their older brother could tell them apart. They dressed alike, wore their hair alike, and even had the same glasses, so it wasn’t surprising that they were stared at everywhere they went.
Consequently, when Linda announced at the age of 25 that she was going to start writing romance novels, she wasn’t surprised when Brenda said, "I don’t care how famous your name gets, just make sure your face doesn’t become recognizable!"
Needless to say, Linda’s face isn’t known in every household in the U.S. — yet. Recently, she spent six weeks taking screenwriting classes at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, and she’s made no secret of the fact that she plans to write and — hopefully — sell a screenplay in the new millennium.

Uh-oh I so dislike unrequited love stories even if in this case it is the hero who has been in love with his best friend forever but she has only had eyes for their other best friend in the friendship trio. When the book starts the heroine is stood up at the altar by her high-school boyfriend who she started seeing again six months back. She is humiliated and heart-broken and as usual Nick is there for her. We see the aftermath of this as well, the heroine's crying and being heart-broken but this forces Nick to decide that he needs to move on once in for all and he decides to move. I was a little unsure of the romance in this one. For a major part of the book and most her life heroine has been in love with her ex-fiancee and has never seen Nick in the light of a potential someone; obviously that is also because Nick never made a move on her (which was stupid). However, when her ex does return her eyes do open and she sees how self-centred he has always been and Nick who finally told her what he feels is there for her. I did like how the heroine told him that she needed time to feel whole to start something with him. I don't know I maybe felt the hero deserved better; not having had to play second fiddle for so long with the heroine. This book in the series had no suspense plot-line like the first two. This was a nice read but I guess I felt the heroine had it too easy with the hero (she does prove herself though willing to uproot her whole life for him).

Not great. That other guy was such a tool. But wish the heroine had woke up on her own instead of having another dude show up to be an option. I'd say skip.
