Ah... friends-to-lovers, one of my favorite tropes :)Daniel's been best friends with Amy for years, and they've got a solid relationship. But after a difficult project photographing children in the local cancer ward, Daniel does some soul searching and realizes that he doesn't want to be just friends with Amy--he wants her, body and soul. The trick will be convincing her she wants him in the same way.Amy's loved Daniel for years, not *that* way, but as a best bud, knowing he's a gorgeous hunk who will never settle down. And she doesn't imagine that for herself either, having had her heart broken first by witnessing her father's infidelity, and then by the cruel desertion of an unfaithful boyfriend. When Daniel starts turning his charm on her, she resists with every fiber of her being, knowing that is a direction they cannot go without ruining the great thing they already share.But Daniel's nothing if not determined, and Amy finds it hard to continue saying no when her body and her heart so dearly want to say yes to the possibilities Daniel opens up...A lovely story by Ms. Dee--I was rooting for these two the whole way :) 3 starsI questioned myself over the rating of this book a few times while I was reading it. I was torn, since I loved the male lead, and I really enjoy Jess Dee's work, but I couldn't stand the idiot of a female lead.I had to stop reading last night, as I found myself wanting to throw my iPad across the room in sheer disgust at how stupid and narrow minded the character of Amy was. Yes, her father and ex-boyfriend left and cheated on her, but the fact that her job as a counsellor meant that she still couldn't get over what had happened with her Dad and Ex, just annoyed me. As a counsellor, who is friends with other counsellors (Maggie) shouldn't she have come to the realisation that Daniel wasn't her father or Simon sooner??? Also, if she wasn't able to trust her supposed best-friend then who could she trust. Arrggghhh…ok so enough of a rant. If you ignore the parts in the book where Amy is whiny, deluded and just a plain idiot, the rest is great. I really like Daniel and his sister Lexie. It's an ok short read, it's not a great romance and it's not steaming up the pages with white hot sex, but it was a semi-decent read for a quiet Sunday afternoon/early Monday morning.
