Review: Not what I expected

I like the book except for the simple fact I had a hard time reconciling the hero/heroine as best friends. Don't get me wrong, the two characters heated the pages but they had little interaction outside the bedroom. I'm good with the steamy sex scenes because I can totally undetstand two people being unable to keep their hands off each other b/c the attraction is just that strong. Hell, I married my best friend and nothing was as good as crossing that line from friends to lovers. Unlike the heroine, I actually knew my BF. The characters did not connect as friends. I kept waiting for an explanation for the chasm between them but yet the book kept up the facade of best friends. Call me crazy but Josh has been pining for Kayla for seven years, so when they crossed that line into intimacy I expected him to romance her. I expected him to bring it!! This was the time for Kayla & Josh to discover new things about each other instead they didn't even know the the basics. Several times throughout the book, Kayla kept stating she did not know him. I seriously felt a Friendship 101 class was needed by these two. Also, let's not forget Josh stalker-ish tendencies. I'm not saying he's a stalker but boy he had some issues. I actually like the book b/c it was a steamy quick read but if you are expecting in depth character development then this is not it.
