Lanie Wagner's life is going just the way she wants it to. She has her own business, a roof over her head, an awesome and very sexy roommate, and enough time on her hands to do as she wishes. In her mind, she's got it made. She loves what she does, and wouldn't have things any other way.An unexpected phone call from her cousin soon disrupts her peaceful way of life. Though she doesn't want to plan her cousin's wedding, Lanie knows she has no other recourse but to do just that. The thought of going back home frightens her, most especially the thought of seeing the family she left behind. Part of her knows she'll need to do the right thing. The question is, can she do that without falling apart in the first place?Determined to give things all she's got, Lanie enlists the help of her roommate. In her mind, he's just what she needs to show her family that she's truly independent. On the one hand, taking Lucas along for ride will allow her family to focus on other things. On the other hand, it'll inadvertently draw attention to herself in the process. Lucas is far too good looking, and draws a woman's attention whether he wants to or not, herself included.Diving head-first into a dangerous game of cat and mouse, Lanie soon realizes she's way over her head. Her feelings for Lucas are rearing their ugly heads, making her look at the situation at hand through different eyes. While she might not like what's going on within herself, she knows she'll need to acknowledge her feelings and more when the time comes. It's the only way she'll be able to finally move on in order to enjoy the life she's now made for herself.Just A Step Away is one of those stories you won't want to put down. It sucks you in, and doesn't let go until the very end. The fact that there's another book coming for this series is definitely the icing on the cake. Flora's storytelling is certainly pleasing, and allows you to visualize the characters and their environments. I'm definitely looking forward to more of Lanie and Lucas.Please Note: I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
