About the author
Kylie Brant
82 books639 followersThe mother of five children, Kylie Brant claims she began writing to save her sanity. Plotting stories became her method of escape from the reality of constant ball games, chauffeuring kids, and refereeing "minor" disagreements between her perfect offspring.
In 1992 she was elated to get a call from Silhouette offering to buy her second novel. Home with laryngitis at the time, she still managed to croak out agreement, and her career was born. A few months later she went on to sell Rancher's Choice, the first manuscript she’d written.
Kylie is married to her high school sweetheart, and they make their home in Iowa. She insists that all her heroes are based on her husband of 23 years because he possesses that most heroic of make qualities — ironing skills. Those abilities come in handy, as she juggles a full time teaching job with writing and a family.
Doing things the easy way has never held much appeal for this multi award-winning author. She graduated with high honors from the University of Northern Iowa. A graduation photo shows her in cap and gown holding her two sons, one aged 16 months and the other three weeks. She went on to obtain a teaching job working with learning-disabled children while completing her master’s degree at night and during summers.
"There was a time in my life when I could imagine myself as a life-long student," she recalls. "I actually toyed with the idea of pursuing a doctorate. But instead, my life took a spin and I ended up writing romances. I’ve never regretted it!" Her family has since been completed by the birth of another son and a set of twins, a boy and a girl.
Kylie’s books are regularly featured on bestseller lists such as Waldenbooks and B. Dalton Bookseller. With over a million copies of books in print, her novels have been distributed in 20 countries and released in seven languages.
Family and friends are the main focus of Kylie’s life. When she isn’t writing or teaching, she enjoys reading and flower gardening. She loves traveling, preferring beach, ocean, and room service.

I love friends to lovers stories and this is one of them. Sully hasn't led a pretty life, with a mother who craved drugs more than him, he more or less grew up on the street so it was natural for him to act in that world but in the form of an undercover DEA agent.
He met Ellie on campus a decade ago and from then she has been the one clean thing in his life, he wants her but dare not touch. He's been a friend there for her, even when she got married and the man she married didn't want her around him and now it's torture, he's in one of the toughest jobs of his life and Ellie is staying right next door after filing for divorce.
Ellie was pretty young when she got married and allowed her husband to mould her and her life but now she's changing, becoming stronger and as usual Sully is there for her as he's always been. She knows Sully has had it tough and doesn't open up much but he's always there. She also doesn't know what he does but believes in him even when people try to tell her otherwise.
One night they both end up crossing the line from friendship to lovers and Sully as usual freaks but Ellie doesn't let him distance himself.
I actually really enjoyed the story a lot and am happy that Sully discovered that he had two more siblings out there. Ellie was a really awesome heroine and so was Sully.

This book has always been a favorite of mine. Ellie is a fantastic heroine. Smart, funny, honest, and trusting. And she TRUSTS Sully, even when he thinks she couldn't possibly. And she sees and understand far more than he gives her credit for.
But really, the main reason I love this book? Sully. He breaks my heart every time I read this book. And I'm so glad Harlequin decided to reissue it for Kindle. My (well-read) copy is in a box somewhere, so it was wonderful to be able to visit with an old friend in a new way.

Cute story, terrible writing with plot twists that weren't really twists. I like the friends that become more than friends angle the main characters didn't annoy me, which was pleasant.
