This is the story of Sadie, a true free bird. Always on the go, moving from one town to another, one state to another, one job to another and one relationship to another.  Her only constant she has had is her best friend, James.  He is her rock, so dependable and reliable.  He is always there for her when she needs help, or a shoulder to cry on, or in her current situation, when she comes home to lick her wounds and make enough money to move on to her next venture in life.  Unknown to Sadie is that James has been in love with her since they became friends when they were 10 years old.  He has kept his feelings to himself for over 20 years and resigned to just being her 'good buddy' James. Until the night of his birthday, which also happens to be the night she returns to town, unexpectedly.A few feelings are spilled between the two of them and then they do the only thing left to do.  They sleep together.  Then, the next morning Sadie, of course, regrets it, feeling like she will lose her one true person in life, if their relationship changes. So, she asks him if they can just forget that anything happened.  This is where the real story and emotions begin.I just picked this book up yesterday and I spent a good portion of my day and night, reading it. I just couldn't put it down.  I read a lot of books and I have to tell you that this is one of the best books I have read in quite a while. This particular story line, the friends to lovers bit, is probably my favorite out of any romance novel.  And it was done so well.  I love all the angsti-ness that comes along with this type of story and all the struggles that come with the main characters trying to figure out their true feelings.I can't tell you how many times I choked up while reading this book.  I could practically taste the emotions and tension that built up throughout this story.  There was a boat load of frustrations while I was reading this book. I just kept thinking what a wonderful and great guy James was, and how crazy Sadie was for not only, not accepting her true feelings for him, but for even recognizing them. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good love story. There will be a second book coming out in December and I am hoping it is either Sadie's sister Charlotte or one of James' brothers story(or maybe even both) and I absolutely can not wait.
