Just Friends (Never Just Friends, #1)
by
Ehhh, I "liked", but didn't completely fall in love with this one.
Also, I didn't find Roo nearly as likeable as Tanner, who actually was serious book boyfriend material.
[Would-be Firefighter Tanner]
And the story read more like they were in their very late 20's, instead of only 5 years out of high school and 23.
I especially liked the parts with them reconnecting after a 5 year separation, and how openly-affectionate Tanner was with Roo.
[Royce, aka Roo]
But whenever there was any type of conflict between them and their future, I don't know, it kind of came across as (mostly) manufactured or formulaic. Although, I was glad that none of the miscommunications were allowed to linger on for very long.
The steam was mostly what I'd consider "fine", too, but it was just sort of "there" for me, not anything particularly unique or inspirational.
I will probably read the next book in the series, which I *think* will be their friend Circus' story, but I'm rating this one at around 3.5 fairly average, slightly bland stars.

Totally agree with you.I just finished this one and to me it was just "meh".
As you said, it has some nice parts, though.

Yeah, an okay filler read.
Omg. You summed up everything I've been trying to say.

I really *wanted* to fall in love with it, though.
