He is the super-hot, supportive, protective, guy who has secretly been in love with his best friend, Kelsey since College, and did I mention hot? OH-SO-HOT!!! Luckily Kelsey was secretly in love with Evan back in College so once her bastard husband cheats on her and they divorce, it doesn\u2019t take long for those feelings to resurface (although I suspect they were really always there just simmering away in the background).<\/p>\n<p>I love a good friends-to-lovers story. Both Evan and Kelsey have been through some awful times, and their long-held feelings for each other finally come out during a trip to Hawaii together. It doesn\u2019t take too long for things to steam up, and when I say that I mean REALLY steam up. Whew! The steam-factor in this book is off the charts, and all I can say is that Kelsey is a very lucky girl!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI love how you tremble for me,\u201d he whispered. \u201cI love how you\u2019re shy until you need me<\/em> <em>and then you aren\u2019t ashamed to tel me what you want.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Kelsey comes off as a little bit weak at times, but these two certainly have a lot of baggage between them.\u00a0 But I love that she\u2019s the one that steps up in the end to fight for what she wants.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201c&#8230; and now I&#8217;m telling you that if you want me, get off your ass, because I love you, Evan, more than anything\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And the response from Evan is classic! I won\u2019t post here because I don\u2019t want to ruin it \u2013 just read the book!<\/p>\n<p>This is a great, short read, recommended to all who love a hot romance. There\u2019s even a brief glimpse of pre-Rock Me Brian (Evan\u2019s brother).<\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed it &#8211; 4 stars.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Ross Siblings
