Customer Reviews

I laughed and I cried

This book was well written, through and through. The characters were believable and loveable. The thing I liked most was that it was different from most romance novels I have read where the relationships are based solely on physical attraction. Anna May and Ric's foundation was friendship.My favorite part was the morning after the storm. What a way to wake up!

Friend and Lover for Life

this book was too good. A man like Ric tall, dark, and too insecure about love to see love in the eyes of his best friend Anna May. Anna May waited for Ric and although he was scared to face love, Anna May made the love she felt too good for him to keep fighting. Sweet book of how true friend can be all that and more.

FRIENDS AND LOVERS

THIS IS DEFINITELY A KEEPER TO READ OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THIS BOOK DEMONSTRATES THAT IT IS DEFINITELY EASIER TO START OFF AS FRIENDS. IT SHOWS THAT TRUE FRIENDS WOULD DEFINITELY GO THAT EXTRA MILE WHEN RIC IS ASKED BY HIS BEST FRIEND OF 14 YEARS TO GET MARRIED AND IMPREGNATE HER SINCE THIS MAY BE HER ONLY CHANCE TO HAVE CHILDREN. WE SHOULD ALL HAVE FRIENDS THAT WOULD GO TO THE MAT FOR US IN THIS MANNER. AS FATE WOULD HAVE IT, THEY HAVE A HARD EXPRESSING THEMSELVES BECAUSE OF PAST HISTORY WITH RIC'S ABUSIVE GRANDMOTHER, AND ABSENTEE PARENTS. THIS BOOK IS ONE OF THOSE THAT MAKES YOU SAD THAT IT HAD TO END.

Strong Love

They have been best friends for over fourteen years. When she finds out that her chances to have a baby it winding down, she asks Ric to marry he and make her pregnant the old fashion way.Once they are married they both teach each other the real meaning of love and relationships.This was a wonderfully written love story that you will hate to see end.

I know in TN

Anna has loved Ric since she was thirteen years old. He has lead a harsh life being dump by his mother and abused by his grand-mother. When he meets Anna he has no room for love but she does what his family members cannnot, that is melt down his heart of ice. A ice storm forces them to spend some well needed time together. She find out that he is attacted to her. So she figures that asking him to marry her and help have a baby the old-fashioned way wont hurt their friendship. He feels he owes her this much since she once saved his life. What he does not figure is that she can teach him to love and cherish a family of his own.This is a true romance! The love seen was beyond erotic. I have never read such a visual scene in my life time. I recommend this book to all first-time romance readers. I promise you they will be back for more. Ms. Fredd I understand that you may not be a sequel writer but you left so many well defined characters to explore in this book open. I would love to know about Anna's friends all three. I would love to read about Ric and Anna's brothers falling in love along with and update, or sequel the couple themselves. I truelly thank you for this book I enjoyed it throughly.
