Rating: 3 out of 5

This is the back story of the romance of Ellie & Adam, Braden's sister and his best friend. It is obvious why they needed to hold back on their attraction since they are so close to Braden and also since they've grown up together - a fling could potentially ruin their friendship. Joss is writing a romance novel & Ellie is considering giving Joss her journals since Ellie & Adam's story is so intriguing. The book relives Ellie's journals detailing her involvement with Adam since she was 14 years old, when Adam was her protector, until she reached an older age & they are constantly resisting each other's advances. Since Ellie is so young when the story begins, the book is pretty YA. There is maybe one instance of them getting their clothes off & almost doing the deed, and there are plenty of times when Adam breaks Ellie's heart by having one night stands. Once Ellie gets sick Adam cannot lie any longer about his intense feelings for Ellie & he refuses to leave her side. So it is a sweet story but doesn't really have much heat, understandably since their history spans years when Ellie is too young.
