All it took was three little words
Keisha and Greg had been best buds from the time they first met in the marines. When you saw one you knew the other one was somewhere close by. Keisha fell in love with Greg the minute they met, but was resigned to the fact that she would always be nothing but a friend to him. He'd introduce each and every one of his girlfriends to her not knowing it was breaking her heart that he could not see her right in front of him. These women looked nothing like Keisha. Neither one could think of living a life without the other in it. They told each other everything and did almost everything together. After six-year, Keisha could no longer take being relegated to the best friend position in Greg's life. She needed to get a life of her own without being at the beck and call of Greg. She needed a man in her life who would love her for herself. Someone who would marry her and give her children.
Keisha's new attitude towards Greg threw him for a loop. She was no longer at his side every minute or available to his every call. It just tickled me to see how he reacted once Keisha put the kibosh on being available to him and was going out on a date with another man no doubt. He really cut up. He could finally see what he would be losing. He had to admit to himself that he kept from going there with Keisha because he knew that he would not be able to give her up. But she said three words "stay with me" and that was all it took. Once was not enough for him and he knew it. He had to admit to himself that all of his previous girlfriends weren't Keisha and did not measure up to her and that was why he'd cut them loose.
This was a beautiful eye-opening friends to lovers romance story. It brought tears to my eyes with Keisha revealing to Greg that she thought that she was invisible in his eyes, and that she could never compete with the beautiful women who tried to get his attention like the "Homewrecker" tried to do. He finally got it and would never let the perfect woman for him getaway. I loved this story!Keisha and Greg had been best buds from the time they first met in the marines.

Wow, what a sweet romance. Once again, I loved this book by Reana!! Keisha finally decided to give up on Greg so she decided to move on with her life. Why is it that man can be so unaware of things around them unless we are not playing attention to them?
This books makes me realize (once again) that I am lucky that I have my husband, Shawn, in my life. We have been through a lot, but we are stronger together than we are apart. I hope one day our kids have the kind of love we have. Shawn was a blind date. Yes, you read that correctly. I did not think he was The One on our first date. We doubled with a girlfriend of my and her boyfriend, who is friends with Shawn. But, a month later, I called Sandy to get another date organized. I was wanting to go out with him again.
Before the book became, it had this quote that I love:
"When you least expect it, something can trigger a memory ... a song, a smell, a sound ..."
How true this is. Every time I smell a cherry tomato, I am transported back in time when I was a kid in my grandmother's garden helping her pick cherry tomatoes, green beans, corn, and anything else she wanted picked. These memories warms my heart. You see, I lost my grandma at the age of 100 in October, 2013. Her garden was her proud and joy.
☆☆☆☆☆
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Would I recommend this book? Yes! Author? Yes!
Would I read more from this author? Yes!
Happy Reading!
