The beginning of any love story starts with the meet.
I’ve know Garrett Hollis since before I can remember, and I’ve loved him just as long. I loved him while he loved someone else. I loved him when he had a baby with her. I loved him when she left him.
The greatest of love stories is that between a dad and his daughter. I should know. I’ve had a front row seat. First steps, first words, all the big moments.
Garrett was just a teenager when Mia was born. I’ve watched him braid his daughter’s hair, hold her hand crossing the street, seen her asleep on his chest. I’m the best friend, the one they can count on for everything from dance lessons to motherly advice, anything they need. I’m their go-to girl.
The best part of any love story is the happily ever after.
But what if the happily ever after doesn’t include you?
All my life, that’s how long I’ve loved him.
Of course, he’s clueless.

It’s been a while since I read a Prescott Lane book and I’m so glad I picked this book to get back into her list of books.
Childhood friends, stalwart supporter and unrequited love drew me in, but this incredible story proves how a spark of an idea or even a carefully placed word can change the course of someone’s life.
Garrett and Devlyn’s romance isn’t an easy one. They don’t fall into their romance and know “this is it.” They have a history, one that hasn’t always been kind to either of them, that they need to fight in order to get their HEA. But I loved how once Garrett’s dating life (or lack thereof) is turned upside down he realizes that what he’s truly wanted all his life has been right in front of him. He doesn’t always say or do the right thing and he often falls back into old habits when it comes to Devlyn, but by the end of the book he figures out exactly who he wants and needs in his life.
This was a great book that I devoured in just about one sitting. It has everything that I love about romance books: angst, humor and plenty of smexy times. This is definitely a book to pick up.

Excerpt:
As far as dates go, this one has been good. I like her. She’s attractive, funny, smart, seems to have her head on straight. All the boxes are checked. This should be the point where I kiss her, ask her out again. I should be devising ways to get in this woman’s panties, but instead I’m thinking more about yanking down the tutu of one very sexy Biscuit Girl. I should be thinking about how to get this woman to fall for me, but it’s me that’s fallen. I should have one thing on my mind, and I do — Devlyn.
There’s just one big ass problem. She’s my friend. I can’t go there. There are so many reasons why I can’t go there. The town would have a field day. We’d have no privacy. Everyone would have an opinion. If we broke up, where would I get a decent cup of coffee? How would Mia react to this? Then there’s Scott, who’s actually the least of my concerns. Devlyn seemed pretty sure it was over, and if it’s not, I plan on convincing her.
I don’t want to lose Devlyn.
Staying friends guarantees her in my life. Dating her doesn’t.
Love doesn’t come with a guarantee.
Love is a risk. I used to be a risk taker, but teenage fatherhood buried that part of me. Stability became the name of the game. It had to. I look towards her diner, wondering if she’s back.
