Jacob has loved Skye since high school. But one of his best friends, Owen, asked her out first. Sixteen years, Jacob has had to watch them two together. Then, the unbelievable happens, Skye ends the relationship with Owen. 

Skye works for Jacob’s company, and one night in London, he tells her everything. He has watched on the sidelines, seen her daily at work, watched her with Owen..for 16 years..he has loved her. At first she is shocked, but as she thinks about it..it’s always been Jacob.

After reading Lincoln, I knew this one was going to be good. We know, as readers, that Jacob loves Skye. But he is loyal to his best friend. Which honestly, he shouldn’t be. Owen doesn’t come across that great, but..I think we can see he has some issues eating at him. Im sure he will redeem himself in his book. Anyways, love Jacob. Poor guy..16 years! What torture. All the things he would do for Skye..swoon. I liked this a lot. Very steamy. Very entertaining.
