If you’re like me, you love to watch a couple of best friends realize their feelings for each other have shifted from best friend buddy love to deep and lasting romantic love.
Such a satisfying emotional roller coaster!
Maybe for me the fascination started with When Harry Met Sally. Or any of the other countless rom-coms I watched growing up. Either way, it’s an intriguing premise that I explore often in the books I write.
And when you add mystery and suspense to the mix, well, that’s like the cherry on top of my favorite chocolate sundae!
