Publisher's summary

They say the best things come when you least expect it.

Burned by her ex-husband and a messy divorce, Jeannie Dubois isn't looking for anything more than a good friend. Besides, she's still dealing with the ex who can't seem to let her go.

Insert NBA coach Aiden Walsh. Sure, he wants so much more than friendship with the beautiful woman he met at a wedding, but he's sure he can play the part, and he's good at biding his time. So, for now, he'll fill any role she wants.

But when these two friends become lovers, things quickly turn complicated. Jeannie finds out Aiden is so much more than just Manhattan's favorite coach.

Can Aiden prove to Jeannie that they're meant to be so much more, or will she send him back to the friend zone?

I just couldn't get enough

I love the strong female lead! I love that she wasn't weak and did exactly what she said! the male lead was written wonderfully! I can't wait for what's next in this series

Phenomenal Book!!

I liked Aiden and Jeanie at the end of Colt and Vicky’s book! I knew it was going to be awesome! Both characters knew what they wanted in their lives and worked hard to make it happen. The humor was exceptional! And, I absolutely enjoyed it! This is now my favorite of Evelyn Sola, bringing Adam and Mellie’s story to my second favorite. They’re all fantastic! And I love the way they interconnect, like Dr. JD’s sister is now the wife of Ethan Bradford’s brother! All of the characters in this universe are wonderful!!

Great Story

This was a good audiobook and I can't wait for book 2 to see if Layla and Seth get together.

Low stakes fun romance

I really enjoyed this story. It was sweet and funny. I was looking forward to reading Jeannie and Coach’s story after reading Colt and Vicki’s and it did not disappoint. Loved both! I hope we get Seth and Layla’s next!

Do we not listen to fished product

I loved the story when I read it. I was so looking forward to the audio release. Jeannie and Aiden are so fab together. The problem was this audio have more than one hiccup. The repeating phrases back to back was annoying. But not enough for me not to be in love with the audio. It’s a go to repeat listen.

From Friends to Forever

Aiden Walsh was intrigued from the moment he saw Jeannie Dubois. There was just something about her and he could not look away. If he could just get a moment alone with her when her mom is not introducing her to prospective dates, maybe he could figure out what it is about her that makes him feel like he doesn't want this evening to end.
Jeannie is not looking for dates or anything else, but her mom is determined to find her someone special. Lucky for her Aiden got to her first and plans on being the only prospective date she will meet tonight or any other time. These two end up having a great time together ending the night as new best friends, but Aiden has plans for so much more than friendship and will do anything to convince Jeannie that with him is where she belongs.
I know I have said this before about other Evelyn Sola characters, but I love this couple! Jeannie and Aiden are by far in my top ten of favorite book friends. I love the friends to lovers trope. Even though both of them were truly attracted to each other from the beginning, the foundation of their relationship was friendship and that made their bond stronger. I also enjoyed revisiting other couples from Mrs Sola's books because she really creates some great characters with drama infused yet romantically entertaining story lines and I have enjoyed everyone I have read so far. I'm anxiously awaiting the next great story from this author.

Loved it!!😍😍

One of my favorites! I listened to it all over again after the first time. !! Evelyn you did it again!

Love it love it love it

This was a great read. I love everything about this book I’m in love with Aaron so my dream man I was a bit confused because they tried to make her like she was younger than what she was or the details around it in my head she had 30s but this is a great book

Good but…

Too many people showing up unannounced over and over again to the point of being unrealistic; where is the restraining order? I loved both narrators who brought the characters to life; they are both fantastic!

Enjoyed the whole story!

This is a great read/listen. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline flowed seamlessly.
