I love the whole big brother's best friend trope, so when I read this blurb, I knew it'd be right up my alley. And boy was it!
"...his blatant indifference wasn't enough to deter me. Because, well here's the thing. I love him. I always have."
Phoebe West met the love of her life at 5 years old. Nathaniel Knox fell in love at nine while looking at his crying five-year-old neighbor as she told him about turtle doves mating for life, about a love so powerful that neither can move on without the other. It was a defining moment in both of their young lives, one that neither fully understood at the time.
"You and me... we're a story that won't have a happy ending. A tragedy. Nothing good comes from a tragedy."
"Maybe I'd rather live in the wreckage with you for a while than a fake fairy tale with someone else forever."
She knew for sure what she was feeling was love at 14, and she spent the next 10 years pining for and alternately wanting him and hating him. Knox, thinking he was doing the right thing by pushing her away, has kept tabs on her, though. And when she needs him most, he's there.
"I spent a long time trying to convince myself you were better off without me...But I can't do it anymore. I won't. See, you and I mated for life about a million years ago, little bird."
Loved this hard-won HEA! Julie Johnson told a beautiful love story in Cross the Line. Plenty of swoon-worthy moments, some angsty goodness, tons of witty banter (Phoebe is hilarious) and a little bit of sexiness all blended together with an interesting plot that kept me flipping the pages. I smiled, I laughed out loud, and I groaned audibly in frustration along with Phoebe and Knox (could there have been any more *@ck-blocking, Ms. Johnson?!) several times.
"I want you. Every minute. Every day. Forvever... The second I met you, I was in it for life... I can't live without you. Don't want to. Not anymore. Never again."
Well written, thoughtfully devolved and plotted, with fantastic characters (must have Parker's story, and while you're at it, Lila's, too, ok?), this author is one I'll definitely read again.
