Never fall in love with your best friend's little sister...Contractor and army reservist Jake Foster fell in love with Dani Minelli when she was a colt-legged high school senior. He knew he was too old to even look at her, let alone touch.
Dani’s been trying to get his attention since returning to Pine Harbour a grown woman—and failing miserably at every turn.
This winter, everything is going to change. And when the snow stops falling, Jake and Dani won't be able to hide from their attraction any longer.
This is a full-length novel (60,000 words, 220 pages)
MY REVIEW:
Have you ever
loved someone so much that your body ached when you were around them? Now imagine that same experience and they
were forbidden to you on so many levels.
You see Jake Foster is face with such a problem. He not only is in love he is in love with his
best friends little sister.
What’s the
problem you ask? Well, for one thing Rafe
his best friend not to mention her other 2 brothers as well as his 3 that were
told hands off. Also, not to mention
there was an 8 year age difference, and then the picture becomes clearer.
Jake’s
infatuation with Dani Minelli came when she was 17 and she was a senior in high
school. So, he became her guard dog and
big brother like always and they fought like it too. She went off to college
and he came home after a year. College
was just not for him. When she was 20
they touched a little on their attraction verbally but Jake squashes it. Both dating others. Dani was a spunky go getter. When she finally came back to town for good
with a boyfriend Jake leaves to Afghanistan.
Two ships
passing until their mutual best friend’s wife was murdered did they stop the avoidance. Two years they had both been back in town and
managed to avoid each other but now they couldn’t. Jake needed a ride home after the funeral due
to all the guys drinking and well Dani being kind takes him home. When she gets him there, there is a women who
strangely looks a lot like her. He tries
to tell her that he wants to meet her for coffee because he doesn’t see the
gal. Dani says no because his houseguest
might not like it. When he sees who it
is he says it’s not like that and revels that he met her when he went hunting
after the shooting and murder where he and Dani had spent a lot of time. She sees it as him once again turning to
another woman. Now Dani was hurt and
pissed. Jake had once not seen her, turned
to another for love, and comfort, or maybe just sex which is worse in a way.
What no one
knew was not even Jake was that she had been in love with him since before she
could remember that she wasn’t. Now he
was going into the arms of her look-a-like.
If that wasn’t a kick in the stomach.
I really
enjoyed this story. The dynamics of both
the families and all that goes on in a big families is so real. Everyone is a part of your business whether
you want them to be or not. This is one
of those stories that you don’t want to put down. I give this 5 stars. Provided by Net Galley.
