This story follows Elle and Rhodes, who met thirteen years ago at a college party and made a pact to be friends. Both secretly pined for each other and struggled to cross the line over the years, despite their deep love for each other. But what happens when they finally cross that line? Can they resist each other?

This was a cute read, with both characters sharing great chemistry and delaying the inevitable for so long. I loved how Elle was hiding a secret career that unraveled throughout the story. She worked hard for her parents’ approval, but whatever she did, it was never good enough. However, Rhodes always supported her in following her dreams. I found Rhodes to be flirty, fun, and always putting Elle and his son first. Levi, his son, is such a cute kid. Carrie and Bernard were frustrating; one was insecure, and the other just didn’t get the message that Elle wasn’t interested. Loved the intimate spice and connection the main characters shared. I also recommend the audiobook if you wish to pick this up. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
