From girlhood on, Kerry Camden dutifully documented the males were untrustworthy in love. Adam Shard, however, gave her faith in friendship, and through teen tribulations he remained her best buddy, her confidant when her diary wasn't enough. Still, they'd had to grow up, and he'd married another . . . leaving his "buddy" feeling strangely betrayed. Years later, Adam returned--alone--and his reaction to Kerry was far more than friendly. Kerry panicked as pent-up passion for her old pal clamored for release. Had she pressed a lifetime of warm, moist yearning between some dry, dusty pages? Only her diary knew for sure. But Adam was probing, penetrating, threatening to spring the lock on her most intimate secrets ..
Rating 2.5 stars 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.
she was in love with him as a child, he is in love with her as adult, her father was unfaithful so she doesn't trust men, then trajedy strikes, contemporary romance,
