I love friends to lovers books they always are easier to digest and believe in the strength of the love and this author did an amazing job on her debut novel with this type of read. They are a close group of friends that have known each other since childhood but the two of them were always more. They sought each other for consolation in difficult times, teamed up against the others, always remaining best friends throughout it all. The thing is that EVERYONE but them had already taken it as a done deal, period.com. Then it happened. It will hurt. It will try to break her. He will stand by her if she lets him.
Family and support. This is a beautifully written story and it’s this author’s debut. She took a boat load of chances and it paid off in spades. I would have given it 5 stars but it starts out kinda slow but once it picks up it goes full speed. Great characters and some action and intrigue and a best friend who owns your heart because it’s all about the unspoken words. Momma always said action speaks louder than words, and his did.
This was my first book by this author and I was completely blown away. My heart shattered with the prologue, but this talented author put every piece of it back together with her beautiful words. Every emotion was felt and the characters captured my heart from the very beginning.
Jamie and Cami’s journey is a beautiful one. A friends to lovers story at its ultimate. Jamie has supported his one true love since they were kids and finally gets his happily ever after. Cami is a strong female character. My first book by H.P Davenport and I will be reading more by this author.
From the beginning you can see chemistry you can see the Sparks between in the individuals that were created by HP Davenport. you could tell the love between the two of you. Regardless if if friendship was an issue they were automatically connected to each other from beginning. So when things happened unfortunately Cameron was hurt but you could see that Jamie completely did everything he could to help her and he did. I love the fact that Jamie was so involved with her and Jamie was so tied to her. I also understood that Cameron avoided a lot of things and tried to hide her demons. But I also know that when the two of them were together who is completely like a pie all the pieces were connected and everything and just didn’t matter as long as they were together. I loved HP Davenport and her writing and I am so amazed by the elf come of this relationship. This book was epic. Five stars.
This story was a wonderful friends to lovers installment! Cami & Jamie’s affection for each other leaps off the page. There is a tragedy in this story, and it was written so well, so thoroughly. That part of the story ripped out my heart. But it was written SO WELL! I know, I said that already. The level of emotion thru the whole story was just top notch, and while some of the back & forth annoyed me (a couple of moments had me yelling, “Seriously, how can you not KNOW at this point?!), I still enjoyed the story a lot!! Looking forward to reading Linc & Morgan’s story. : )

Heather has outdone herself with this debut novel. She had me sucked in from the very beginning and I couldn’t put this book down. We not only get a great couple with an unspeakable connection but we find ourselves a new group of friends that have a special bond. Heather makes you feel like you are part of that group enjoying the fun and not sitting back on the sidelines just watching it play out. But when they are hurting and sad you are right there with them, experiencing it all.
Cami is such a strong independent woman, working across the country from her family and friends. She has the respect of her colleagues. But she has decided that there is one major thing missing in her life and it is fine time she did something about that. That something is scarier than shit as she could loose the one person that she values most. Can they cross that line and still have that closeness they always have had?
Life it pretty damn good for Jamie, his band is doing great, his company he runs with his best friend is booming and busy. What more could a man ask for? He has come to realize that it would be so much better if he had a special someone to share these great things with. Can he put himself out there and risk it all?
Can they all move past that night? How can they heal and find their way back to what they had? Is their love strong enough?
I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series. I will be stalking to see when book 2 comes out.
