Olympic gold medalist skiers Jayla Stone and Rush Remington have been best friends for years. They've seen each other at their best and worst and have kept each other's secrets without fail. Only there's one secret Rush has kept close to his chest. After months of introspection, Rush realizes he's been filling his bed but not tending to his heart. He's changed his womanizing ways, and the only woman who can fill his heart has been right by his side all this time. Years of intimate conversations and the sharing of hopes and dreams collide when Rush reveals his secret, and one toe-curling kiss changes everything between Rush and Jayla. They're no match for the passion that kiss ignites, or the pull of true love. But being Rush's best friend means knowing all about his revolving bedroom door--and Jayla has a secret of her own that could jeopardize her career and her relationship with Rush. Even their love may not be enough to overcome Rush's past or secure Jayla's future. **BONUS** Includes the first chapter (sneak peek) of Read, Write, Love, The Remingtons, Book Five. **CONTENT WARNING: Due to mature content, recommended for readers aged 18+**

    There's something about best friends realizing they are in love that just gets to me. I've always got a mushy heart, but more so for these types of tales. So of course I loved this book.

    One of my misgivings with the last book was how the author tried shoving every character from the long series into one book and it got confusing. Of course Rush 's family was mentioned and some even made an appearance, but it was handled much better this time. Possibly because Rush doesn't live right by the rest of them on a regular basis. In fact, it seemed like there was more info on Jayla's family than the Remingtons which makes me wonder if the Stone family will be next in line for these books.

    I respected how Ms Foster handled those feelings of "what an I without my sport" as I've found these to be very true to life whether in sports, business or the arts. What I was a bit disappointed in was the way the relationship between Jayla and Marcus at the beginning of the book was handled. I understand Rush's inaction, that was realistic since many friends/family members will often think they're reading too much into these situations. I also like the inner thoughts of Jayla during this time. Men who abuse somehow make even the strongest women feel as though it's their own fault. It was how easily that relationship ended that I didn't like. It's the same thing I didn't like about "Destined for Love". I would hate for a naive woman to think creeps like Marcus just walk away from these situations. What could have been used as a PSA of sorts ended up really lacking.

    Other than that blip, this was another great story and I can't wait to read the final Remington saga.
