Their passion will have long lasting consequences that neither is really prepared for. They cross the friend’s line, and now things will ever be the same. Josie is independent, smart and quite sassy. She owns a quirky little bookstore in town. Her parents have passed away, so her brother and her friends are the only family she has. Dane is her best friend, who she’s secretly loved for a long time. Sleeping with Dane has really complicated things, and she’s hurt that he so obviously regrets it because he’s avoided her for days. Their night of madness results in Josie falling pregnant. She won’t force him into a situation he never wanted, because he told her once that he never wanted a family- ever. So Josie is determined to prove that she can do this on her own. She begins to distance herself from him, so she doesn’t get hurt any more than she already is. Dane owns a popular bar in Nashville. He appears to have it all- it seems that he loves his single life- has good friends and family, lots of women on tap and to top it off, a successful business. He has wanted Josie for a long time, but friends don’t sleep with friends, not to mention that he thinks she deserves to have a great life and find happiness- but he doesn’t think she would find that by being with him. By giving in to his feelings and experiencing an unforgettable night of passion with her, has turned their world upside down and he just wants everything to go back to the way it was. But with baby on the way, he has a lot to consider now. He can feel Josie pulling away. Will he finally reveal the truth behind his statement? What hasn’t he told her? Will this baby bring them closer together, or drive them apart? Will Dane reconsider his position on fatherhood and relationships? He has nine months to work it out. Another fantastic addition to the Stand By Me series. The story is beautifully written and completely captivating. I know when I see Ms. Berry’s name that I am going to love whatever she has written. She just has a knack for developing wonderful storylines and crafting interesting, relatable and appealing characters. Thank you Ms. Berry!

Dane and Josie have always been the best of friends. But one night turned all that around. Will their actions force a divide in their friendship or will something more grow from it? I cannot tell you how excited I was to start this book. I went in knowing absolutely nothing about it because it hasn't even graced Goodreads by the time I got it. But when Berry asks me to read one of her books, I do it!! I was excited because I have yet to read a story by this amazing author that I didn't like. Every book I have read by her has been 5 star worthy. I loved me some Dane in this book. So glad we finally were able to dig a little deeper into him and find out what makes this guy tick. He had me smiling in all the right scenes and nearly brought me to tears in some of the tougher ones. He dishes out the feels and you just can’t help but love him. Class A guy right here. Even for someone who played the field all his life. Seriously, you are going to adore him. But guys, I honestly feel like if I say too much more, it will ruin the story for you and we cannot have that now, can we? But know the story was amazing, the characters are incredible, the romance heats up the pages, and this author can write one heck of a book. I was sucked in the whole time and finished it rather quickly. And that is saying something with my reading schedule lately. I wholeheartedly give this book ALL THE STARS!! It is a definite must read; especially if you have been following the series. 5 Swoony Stars!
