The lines around the friend zone are blurrier than ever

Stephanie “Stevie” Jacobs

Marriage to an A-list actor has its perks, but no one ever tells you about the drawbacks—paparazzi infesting your life like cockroaches after the divorce, for one. So when my longtime friend Troy offers me the empty side of his duplex while I get back on my feet again, the only possible answer is, “How soon can I come?”

I’ve never seen Troy as anything but a friend, but when the gossip columns pin down my location, they’re determined to make more of things between us, despite my assurances he’s dating someone. The media are a tenacious bunch. Heck, they almost have me convinced, which is totally crazy. Right?

Troy Sheppard

My friendship with Stevie has survived a lot, including the day I caught the crazy bug and told her I wanted to be more than friends. Thankfully, that’s far behind us. I’m here for Stevie—as a friend—now that she needs a soft place to land away from the gossip-hungry tabloids.

There's just one problem: I may have seriously underestimated the power of the paparazzi—and possibly my feelings. Both seem bent on bringing the past into the present, but there's no way I'm going down the road to rejection a second time.

Just amazing!

You’ve gotta love Troy and Stevie. I certainly did. I was hooked from the first sentence and struggled to put the book down. Did my heart ache at times for Troy? Yes. Did I get frustrated with Stevie for being clueless? Yes. Did I love when they got their HEA - absolutely!Highly recommended :-))

Book was mildly damaged

I love Marths Keyes; but I'm getting more n more disappointed that books always come damaged!

Friends to more

Loved the lengths that Troy went to, to try and convince himself that he wasn’t still in love with Stevie. A great friends to more story. A fun read.

best friends find romance

This is such a good book! Troy was such a worthy hero. He has loved Stevie (heroine) since he was a teenager. He is kind, gentle, thoughtful as well as masculine. I loved when Stevie finally really opened her eyes to Troy’s love for her and how she fell in love with him ♥️. This is part of the Sheppards series and I have grown to love this family. Martha Keyes is becoming one of my favorite authors. I highly recommend this sweet and clean read….so romantic and authentic.

Total Wish Fullfillment

Eight years later and after a very public divorce Troy and Stevie are in each other’s lives again. Can their friendship get a second chance?I loved the Sheppard family and the buttered toast video. Troy was just so amazingly loyal. I also loved his hair. This book was so sweet. I can’t wait to see more of the Sheppard family.
