THE END

Okay, that was actually surprisingly good.

Review to come.

Maybe their disconnects so far hadn't been ALL about her running away; maybe he needed to stop coming on so strong. If fussing over him and taking a minute helped her feel more comfortable with their relationship - nothing in the world could convince him this was only lust, not after the wealth of relief he'd seen in her eyes today - then why deny her? He could keep from pouncing on her long enough to let HER come

He didn't want her showing up in his life voluntarily only when she was concerned about him.

I agree, Jake. This fire-ending is a complete cop-out.

ARGH, undescribed sex. The bane of my existence.

Now she's freaking out.

It was the nightmare version of herself, the one she'd always feared she might wake up and see in the mirror, the passion-driven dreamer who would make Meg and Didi look like calm analysts in comparison.

He really was painfully handsome; looking at him was reminiscent of staring into the sun.

Mmmmm, I feel you, girl.

She was still baffled as to how she'd messed up her life so spectacularly despite having the best of intentions and a solid plan.

Meg had mocked Brooke's decision to wait until the wedding night to make love to Giff, and Brooke realized now her sister had a strong point. It was fine to decide to wait - that was a personal decision - but shouldn't she have at least been more tempted? Shouldn't she have found herself fantasizing about the honeymoon to come? He was a gorgeous man and a decent kisser, not in Jake's league, but -

"Aah!" She pre

Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God. Brooke stood against the closed door, wringing her hands like a bad actress in a melodrama. She wasn't this person. She was paralyzed by the nauseating indecision over what to do next - confess all to Giff immediately or spend the next seventy years hoping he never found out. I can't face him.

Which might make for an awkward ceremony.

If this is what cheating felt like, why did

"Brooke, I-I didn't intend for that to be so aggressive."

"The problem's not with the KIND of kiss! It's that I kissed you in the first place." She flashed her left hand between them, drawing both of their gazes to the engagement ring.

...yet she found herself leaning, swaying almost imperceptibly toward him.

Since he'd been watching her with the hungry intensity of a predator about to pounce, he caught her movement. It was all the permission he needed before folding his arms around her and lowering his mouth to hers. The shock of their lips meeting sizzled through her, but she didn't have time to process it. It wasn't a quick peck, it was an

"You think I'm a jerk because I have the cojones to tell you the truth?" Jake snapped. "You don't want a husband, you want a human security blanket."

But then he lifted a finger to her cheek, brushing away a tear with paralyzing tenderness. "Please don't cry."

No, no, no! Brooke didn't want drama and crying and that ridiculous have-to-have-you-or-I'll-die passion. She wanted...

Pay attention, Jake wanted to shout at him. Turn off your computer and ask yourself why you're working on a Friday night while another man is about to take your beautiful fiancée out for the evening. But he couldn't say that because Giff would point out that he trusted Jake completely.

Giff had always been too damn decent for his own good.

Even though he'd given her no overt reason to think it, she'd somehow drawn the conclusion that he'd wanted to kiss her and might be working his way up to divulging that.

The hell of it was, she had no idea what she would have done if he did.

Was she impossibly conceited to think that this gorgeous man who'd been Giff's best friend for more than twenty years might be looking for an excuse to touch her?
...
Why was she able to remember her one close dance with Jake with more clarity than the many kisses she'd exchanged with her fiancé?

She'd had a fleeting impression of herself, at twenty, mooning over Sean, the sexy poet. She'd definitely fallen under the delusion that she just HAD to be with him - idiotic, since he'd turned out to be a self-centered jerk who'd habitually asked her for loans and had caused more disturbance than joy. She hadn't died without him, she'd thrived, reminded anew of how to make intelligent choices in her life.

The hollowness in her tone was unsettling. She was too young, with far too much still ahead of her to sound so resigned over the way her life turned out. Most beautiful women on the verge of marrying the man of their dreams would be ebullient.

I'm ignoring you, Jake informed both his scruples and his baser instincts. He was certainly NOT going to make a move on his best friend's girl. And since it was a nonissue, he had nothing to feel guilty about, either. So, begone.

She's still traveling to fantasy dreamland about her fiancé. I'm getting mixed messages from this book.

"You're missing the point, Ms. Nichols. This isn't an op or a three-alarm. We don't have to follow any plans. We can do whatever we want or do nothing at all, eat dessert before dinner. Wear mismatched socks!"

She pursed her lips, well aware that he was picking up on her but amused despite herself. Not that she planned to admit that. "Are you quite finished?"

"Probably not," he said unrepentantly. "Expect random

The line between 'good intentions' and 'selfish bastard' had become amazingly blurred.

Jake tried to summon the mental picture of her and Giff at a kitchen table, surrounded by the undoubtedly cute kids they would have together. Instead, he imagined a tall, scuffed table in a dingy nightclub where Giff sat awkwardly, making a concerted effort to like a loud indie rock band while Brooke told herself that she

Kresley arranges for Brooke and Jake to go to Tennessee together.

This book is so far-fetched.

But what did it say about a bride-to-be who, at her own engagement party, was feeling grateful not to succumb to romance?
