A Friend in Need

by Cathie Linz

Victoria Winters did not have a crush on her old college classmate, Kyle O'Reilly! She was "ole reliable Tory," Kyle's buddy, the one who had settled into her career and was subletting his apartment while he roamed the globe on business.

But when Kyle arrived unexpectedly, with crutches and a large suitcase, Tory panicked. He lounged around in provocative cutoffs, which accommodated the cast but did little to calm Victoria's nerves. She couldn't kick out a friend in need—besides, it was his apartment!—but she feared that his broken ankle would soon keep company with her broken heart.

[Kerdel Ellick · Rating 4 out of 5]

It wasn't the best romance book I've read, but it was nice. A close friend turned into a lover, then fiancée. gosh, something you won't see happening in real life. Their relationship went from platonic, to one filled with desire and warmth. I liked it.

Not one of Cathie's best efforts, but kind of fun. Good for a quick read.
