She’s always been his. He’s always been hers. Best friends since they were kids, everyone always assumed they’d end up together. But Rocco and Jasmine forge their own life paths. Despite remaining close, she discovers she needs a break from the life she’s been living in Chicago. When she moves to New York, things change for him. And he panics, thinking he’s lost her forever.

Rocco

Since the day she moved in across the street when we were kids, Jasmine has held my attention with her sparkling green eyes and spunky spirit. She’s independent and headstrong, and I’ve always admired that about her. Hiding behind my bachelor status, no one is the wiser about the secret feelings I harbor for her.

Jasmine

Rocco has always been by my side. Whether it’s making me laugh, teaching me something new, or sharing confidences, he’s been steadfast. When he morphs into a man seemingly overnight, I find it tough to temper my attraction to him. But he doesn’t see me as anything more than a friend.

🏒Review🏒

Jasmine has always treasured her friendship with Rocco, and he been there for here through all the successes and setbacks she has had. The time has come for a fresh start even if it means leaving Chicago and him.

Rocco has been in love with Jasmine for years but didn’t want to jeopardize the most important relationship in his life. Realizing that that he is going to lose her anyway he has a choice to make and either maintain the status quo or go after the woman who has always owned his heart.

The way that Rocco and Jasmine understand and support each other is only one of the reasons that they are destined to be together, and I enjoyed seeing them finally take a chance on the beautiful life they could have together.
