Isla and Colby are best friends and have been most of their lives. And Isla has been in love with Colby for only slightly less time than that. Colby, however, can’t seem to make up his mind, alternatively pulling her in or pushing her on his brother Landon.

Isla has been hanging out with the brothers forever, as well as with their friends. She has a lot of family demons that she has taken on her own shoulders, but have a close, loving bond with her grandmother. As the time comes closer for Isla to leave for nursing school, she wants to get things sorted with Colby.

Colby seems to care about Isla as more than a friend, but continues to push her towards Landon, though he doesn’t seem happy about it. Isla knows he’s a good man, but is so confused by his hot and cold behavior that she wonders if their friendship will ever be the same.

Landon has also always been Isla’s friend, and has recently developed more than friendly feelings for her. He flirts and seeks out spending time with her, confusing Isla even more. Could she have a relationship with Landon, but never realized it because her interest in Colby was in the way?

I have no real opinions about love triangles, they can be well-written or forced, depending on the story and author. In this case, I think the story was well-written with Isla truly caring about both guys, but truly only loving one of them. The brothers don’t compete, or damage their relationship with each other, Colby just doesn’t want to hurt his brother and Landon had no idea of Isla’s feelings.

The story is written from Isla’s first person POV (except the epilogue, which is Colby’s), but through her own observations and dialog with others, we do get a good grasp on Colby’s and Landon’s motivations throughout.

All in all, I enjoyed the story and looked for the next book in the series, but was unable to find it. I hope it’s still coming and was just delayed, but it has been several years.
