They're a team…not a couple!
Falling for Liam was unthinkable. He and Gabi had been best friends since college, nothing more. And crucially, now Liam was her client and needed her to be focused on his case. Gabi could never risk their friendship—or Liam's freedom—over these feelings. They could never be a couple, anyway. He was Liam Connelly, the handsome and privilege ...more

Liam, Gabi and Marie are a family of sorts. They met nine years ago when Liam was getting chewed out by his father for choosing to live in a dorm room rather than an upscale apartment (where his father could essentially spy on him). The three of them have now formed an LLC and are planning to buy a historic apartment building together. Liam's father advised him not to and when he does, Liam's life drastically changes.

Once Upon a Friendship is part of the Harlequin Heartwarming line which means it is sweet and clean. This book is more about friendship and family than romance though. The romance is barely there and when it does show up, it is mostly suppressed until the very end.
Gabi and Liam have been friends for a very long time and consequently, know each other very well. Neither one of them want to ruin the best friendship they've ever had by acting on the feelings of attraction that have suddenly bloomed ...more

Dari sekian banyak judul-judul buku baru yang bertebaran di internet, cuma buku ini yang mencuri perhatianku, coz sinopsisnya bikin penasaran. So, dengan satu dan lain cara, akhirnya sampailah buku ini ke tanganku.
Dan ternyata, benar-benar mengecewakan. Boring abis dah! Romance-nya gak kerasa sama sekali, kasus yang dialami Liam benar-benar bikin ngantuk. Alhasil jadi loncat-loncat bacanya. 2 bintang cukup aku kira.

As I began reading Once Upon a Friendship, I wasn't sure how much I'd end up liking it. The prologue, which does a good job of setting up Liam's friendship with Gabi and Marie, went on longer than I thought necessary, and when the present day portion began, I just wasn't that interested.
The novel begins with the three friends purchasing an apartment building, and knowledge of that event is necessary for the story, but it did feel like the "set up" portion went on too long. Once the story got rol ...more

True to Harlequin Heartwarming's style, Once Upon a Friendship is a clean story centered around traditional values of family, friendship, and personal growth. These are so rare nowadays, it's always a joy to find one!
The author weaves relatable characters and their relationship dynamics into a story line that I think will appeal to readers who enjoy being swept into a good legal drama. I thought she did a fabulous job of spinning intricate legal details together in a way that made the characters ...more

This is the first book that I have read by Tara Taylor Quinn and I thought it was very good. This Heartwarming romance is a lovely of two people who finally come to realize that their decade old close friendship is turning into something more.

Once Upon a Friendship is the first novel I've read by this author and I thought it was a cute and entertaining story. I liked how the main characters were all such good friends, so much so that Liam and Gabi were afraid to mess up their friendship with their growing attraction towards one another that they both fought it. I enjoyed that this wasn't just a romance, but a story about a father and son and their relationship with each other. I didn't see the ending coming, the part without the roma

Wasn't sure if I would like this book when I first started, but within a page of starting to read, it started getting interesting. The writing skills of the author are remarkable. The characters are easy to love and the plot of the story intriguing! This is a highly recommended book! How two people from two completely classed families connect is great!
