Leo is best friends with Kevin, Leah's brother.  While he has had a pretty rough existence, he has always had his friends' family to rely on.  Now he is coming to stay with them while he fixes his home up enough to move in.

Leah has been kind of stalker-like throughout their childhood.  She has always been attracted to his dimples from a distance.  Now he will be living in her home - meaning up close and personal.  Is this a sign, or a sentence?

While this feels to some extent like a coming of age novel, there is a true element within of real love and how it stands the test of time.  I had moments where I wanted to scream, but each page definitely gave me feels - one way, or another.  These characters were a good example of why I read romance.  Love exists, and comes to those who wait.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
