After reading Brenda Rothert’s book Bound (Fire on Ice series book 1) I had to start reading this series.  Wow, am I glad I did.  I enjoyed this book as much as I did Bound.  Don’t get me wrong they are different but both are very good in their own way.This is a great love story that sort of begins in high school.  What do I mean “sort of”? Well Emma has a big crush on the neighbor Cole who is older and is seeing her sister, Layla.  Layla is smart, pretty, outgoing, popular everything Emma is not.  Emma is the “smart” one and Cole is older and out of her league.Emma goes to art school in France and then returns to Chicago.  When she is running late to work one day she runs into Cole and sparks fly for her again.  Cole sees Emma for the woman she has become and not the child she use to be.  Only problem is Layla, her mother and Cole’s mother keep trying to get Layla and Cole back together.I love the friendship that Emma and Dani have.  They have been friends since high school and both were on the outside looking in or under the bleachers watching the football practice.  One of my favorite scenes was when Dani was able to put Layla in her place when she tried to put Dani down on a girl’s night out.Emma convinces Cole to keep their relationship a secrete in order to keep her relationship with Layla.  However, this causes issues can their relationship overcome the sneaking around and lying?  Will Emma and Cole survive as a couple? Will Emma and Layla still remain as close as they have been the past few years?This story goes from present to past giving you little insights into the past, which I love getting small tidbits a little at a time.  I have Layla’s book on my TBR list I am so interested to see how her story will play out.
