    About this ebook

    The world according to Sam Kirk has just turned upside down. His best friend and business partner, Delaney Michaels, has returned from vacation a new woman-- a gorgeous, hot new woman. Suddenly Sam is thinking entirely inappropriate thoughts about his buddy. Worse, with Delaney's changed look, she's abandoning their friendship in pursuit of the picket-fence dream. It's a nightmare come true.

    Then one night finds them tangling in the sheets.

    It should feel wrong, wrong, wrong-- instead, it feels very right. And now Sam knows exactly what he'd do to keep his best friend: absolutely anything.

      I might write a proper review later, I might not. Nothing about this really stuck out at me one way or the other, and those books are the hardest to review. I'd say this is a 3.5 rather than a flat 3. It has Mayberry's talented writing and pacing going for it, but relied on one too many cliches to be particularly memorable.
    • 3/5
      3.5 stars. Something was missing in the character development but I can't put my finger on it. There was also too much thinking and debating with the heads of the characters which is something I'm not fond of.

      Another winner fro Kristan Higgins

      The author knows just how to tug at your heart. She had me worried that I'd be brought to tears with an i surmountable issue, but the ending was sweet and satisying. Well done, once again
    • 3/5
      I finished this book but once the plot was established after the first few pages the rest of the story was basically the characters agonizing over the situation with some sex thrown in and a clueless hero. I skimmed most of it. Delaney wants to sell her half to her business partner who is also her neighbor and best friend since childhood.

      best of the trope friends to lovers - still looking for her other books to hit this high.
    • 4/5
      Sarah Mayberry writes great ‘friends to lovers’ stories. I have to admit, I still prefer Her Best Friend to this one, but this was a very good read. Considering the fangirl obsession I’ve developed with the other book, this one was never going to quite match it for me! Being a Blaze, there’s plenty of – uh – ‘Blazey’ stuff – but as with all of Mayberry’s books, it’s a story with ‘more’ than you’ll find in other category books. She writes in a way that makes you feel as though you’ve read a much longer, more complex novel. Sam is devastated by Delaney’s decision to walk away from the business they run together. They’ve been best friends since they were kids, and then one day she comes back from holidays and announces she’s walking away from everything. Then she puts her apartment on the market (Sam lives in the same complex). She’s gradually removing him from her life and he’s madly running around trying to patch up whatever’s wrong, to fix the problems he can’t figure out. He’s panicking because he’s watching her leave him and he doesn’t know why. I loved when Sam decided to start playing matchmaker. Delaney wants to get married and have children, and she lets Sam believe this is the only reason why she’s changing her life. What Sam doesn’t realise is that she’s in love with him and she’s cutting him out because she can’t meet another man while Sam is still in her life. He’s trying so hard and yet he’s got it completely wrong. I’ve read a number of reviews that said the story needed an epilogue. I’m not sure. I remember being told in writing classes many times that you should finish your story as soon as it’s told; don’t waffle on with endless ‘extra endings’ a la The Return of the King! I was satisfied with the way the book ended, and didn’t think we needed all the loose ends tied up. We’re left to assume that they will eventually have the children; and that Delaney will find her way back into their magazine business; and that they’ll sort out their living arrangements. I didn’t need an epilogue with seventy-six babies and an office party to assure me their problems were pretty much taken care of. Oh, and the author must really love the Victorian (Australia) town of Daylesford – Her Best Friend was set there, and Sam and Delaney visit there in this one! It makes me want to go and find out what’s so good about it!
