This book takes the reader on a wonderfully descriptive and emotional ride on the road to true love. This story of romance and lust and the difference between the two, brings romantic interests Haley and Evan together and apart and together and apart and together.Haley is young, demure and aspiring and it is Haley's aspirations that take her from the halls of an Ivy League college with an almost completed degree to NY, where she wants to live and take time off to write the Great American Novel.  Instead of achieving what she meant to do, Haley finds an Adonis of a man named Evan.  Evan is her brother - Dylan's friend and soon becomes her obsession as she falls madly in lust/ love with him. Although there are deep feelings that develop between the two of them; somehow their lives always get in the way leaving little room for a full -blown romance to develop between the two of them.  It is over a span of several years and many near misses that they finally get to see where the relationship potential lies between them.Ms. Devoy did a great job of bringing the worlds of Haley and Evan into view. Her talent for storytelling is very well honed which makes this an interesting and endearing story.  The characters are witty, amusing and well developed which makes the reader care about the turn of events for each character.  Some of the story did bring to mind the wonderful tales of love and lust like the SEX and the City series; including some of the characters, the setting and the fashionista ambience.This is a story that truly makes a mark of its own and does very well to grab the reader's attention while keeping them willing prisoners until the end of the book. What I really enjoyed about this book is the air of tension and promise of passion that builds between the two characters throughout the story.
