Everyone knows, or should know, that the best couples are the ones that start as friends.  I'm about to get all old and wise here... but beauty fades, money can be taken in an instant.  But good friends are forever and if you're lucky enough to fall in love, then that's even better.  The draw back.... is what happens if things go south and you not only lose your lover, but also your friend.  That's the predicament Red finds herself in with her best friend Gavin.  She's wanted Gavin for eons but take into considering that Gavin is also her brother's friend and the fact that Gavin has no problems with getting the ladies... she doesn't want to move forward and risk the friendship.  Until she does... and he does too.

I enjoyed this one.  While I thought there was too much internal "I want him... I shouldn't want him, but I do, but it wouldn't work out", I liked the back and forth between Red and Gavin.  Her brother was present enough, but not overbearing regarding the relationship.  Throw in the the handsome, but obviously a player doctor that helps her get into medical school and the horribly cruel ex boyfriend and there's a whole lotta drama, but well written drama.  Nicely set up for a sequel, I'm interested to see how Red and Gavin's relationship develops, what happens with the doctor and his strange brother!! 4.5 stars!!
