Quick, sweet read. I always love friends to more books and this one didn't disappoint. Felt somewhat rushed and missed out on expanding parts that would have been beautiful.

I loved the gentleness and dedication of the hero Laurence towards his friend and unrequited love interest Jessica.I found the emotions and some of the protagonists' actions precipitous even as the story kept pace and did not lag.The author focused the story on real-life issues such as foster care ,so the plot was not sensational in the least but relatable.I would read more books by this author.

I haven't read a book by this author before. But I have to say I can't wait to read more. Even though this book is the 2nd in the series don't worry if you haven't read the first one.

Jessica and Laurence have been best friends since they were little. He was always like a brother. When she needs to find a place to stay what better than with her best friend. Soon after moving in she realizes that she feels more for him than just friendship. But Jessica worries that the secret she holds will change things between her and Laurence. Thus the problem ... does she risk loosing his friendship by telling him how she feels or does she keep her feelings to herself.

Laurence has been in love with Jessica for years but hasn't said anything for fear that he will push her away. He's settled to be friends. So when she moves in he decides now is the time to put a plan together to get her to be more than just his friend. But he's afraid that his past will ruin everything. But how will he react when she reveals her secret to him?

This was a wonderful love story. It isn't just two people meeting and falling in love, but the story of love and forgiveness.

I loved this book! I was so interested in seeing how the book unfolded that I could not put it down and finished it in one sitting!
