Where to begin.... Let me just start by saying I Love the cover!This was gut wrenching, heartbreaking, stomach butterflies, want to scratch eyes out, did that really happen kind of book.Callie is a pint size firecracker. She's comfortable in her own skin and doesn't care two wits what anyone says or does. I just loved her personality. Thank fully she didn't grow up in a misunderstood home and had the love and backing of a wonderful family. What a fresh of breathe of air. Callies BFF, Su, is always by her side and they are like two peas in a pod. Their interactions are sweet and you can tell instantly the bond they have. Callie's in a fairly new relationship as well and is convinced Nick is the one for her.Joe a tattooed, piecing sex on a stick. Coming out of a long term relationship he takes this time to do the player thing and has no intention of settling down anytime soon. He too has the love of family & friends. Joe & his brother took over a business from his uncle in a new town. The great bond he had with his friends had them following him and his brother as well to a new city.By a freak accident Joe & Callie literally run I to each other. By another freak occurrence Callie & Su, weeks later find themselves face to face in Joes tattoo parlor where Callie is up for a piercing and tat. Their attraction was instant but with Callie in a relationship neither wanting to out themselves about their new found attraction. Accepting they are to only be friends Joe invites them over to his bday party. Callie and Su find themselves surrounded by Joes closest friends and a longtime friendship with all of them ensues.I don't want anyone to get the wrong impression here.. They is absolutely NO CHEATING in this book. As you read you can see the attraction from Callie and Joe a mile away but they both took the high road. Which again is refreshing. The supporting characters where awesome and added to the book beautifully. Dane, Su, Suffron, Adam, and even Gerald added the extra spice you needed and completed this story so well.This book is over about a ten year period and the twists and turns that pop up will have you screaming at your kindle/iPad. I was so frustrated! Yet I couldn't put it down. Reading until 3 in the morning so I could find out what happens. My heartbroken for them. I just wanted their friends to speak up and let the cat out of the bag already. So many years... So many missed opportunities. Ugh! They both made wrong decisions and you want to pull your hair out.This was a well written book. I've always enjoyed Louise J's quirky characters and this story didn't disappoint. As always Ill be impatiently waiting for her next book whether its in this series or a stand alone.
