Their genuineness and honest deep feelings for one another made me accept even when these characters needed to talk to one another. Their deep feelings for one another send them astray as they fear trying for something more because they risk the friendship that they have. I felt their real desire to keep their friendship. I appreciated that Chase and Josie were not stupid in their problems with one another. She is quirky and very physical and just adorable (especially to Chase). As the book begins, she is online dating - even though she has been burned before. Josie is a baker who concentrates on desserts. I liked his humor, his good nature and his real desire to keep a relationship with Josie. But not too good a guy! A doctor, he likes to entertain Josie with funny cases that come to him. Chase is a doctor and a genuine good guy. For me, it is central that the characters maintain my interest. OPINION: I found this story very enjoyable. The close quarters bring the two together, but how do friends become lovers and still remain friends at the end?

When Chase is looking for an apartment and Josie is looking for a roommate, the two decide to share an apartment.

Chase has also had a thing for Josie for years but refuses to act upon it because he doesn’t want to destroy their friendship. STORY: Chase and Josie have been friends for years. I really liked these characters as people and their concerns and fears about losing their friendship felt real and I liked that they had problems but were not stupid.
