A very detailed description of the main male and main female characters from high school entry through to university entry. Through some of this, I became bogged down with too much detail at this point. However, with more novels to read in the series about this couple, mayhap some of the minute detailing is required groundwork for the balance of the story. Time will tell. Good story and characterizations thus far. On to book two in this five-book series

This is the first book in the series and it’s a really good start. This story is about Jacob and Beth. There is a two year age difference between them and they are neighbors. So this hot little romance all starts as friends and moves to more. This is a really good transition from one to the other and not an easy road. Jacob graduated and moves from LA to London. It’s a struggle with Jacob’s busy schedule but Beth manages to keep in touch. She surprises Jacob but coming to London two years later, after she graduated high school, with Jacob’s Mom for a visit. When these two characters are one another, how they have grown up and how they have changed……both of them want out of the friend zone. Is it worth the risk? Maybe and ir all starts with a kiss.
