The Synopsis:
It all started with a pinky swear…
Linden McGregor is tall, rugged, and gunslinger handsome; a helicopter pilot with a Scottish brogue and charm to spare. He’s also one of Stephanie Robson’s best friends and has fit into that box for as long as she’s known him.
But some relationships can’t be boxed, can’t be classified, can’t be tamed.
Back in their mid-twenties and tired of the competitive hit-or-miss dating scene of San Francisco, Steph and Linden made a pact to marry each other if neither one of them are in a serious relationship by the time they hit thirty.
It sounds like fun and games but as the years to thirty tick past and lovers come and go out of their lives, the pact becomes larger than life.
My review:
3.5 out of 5 stars ∗∗∗.5
This story all begins with a pact between 2 best friends… which you get that from the synopsis…. I am not going to give anything away besides that!
I did like the story, however the first part of the book was kind of, sort of boring… don’t shoot me! I know this book has higher ratings and this goes against popular vote. It just seemed like this was rushed and the author missed a lot of detail. about the friendships, relationships, the fun, the feelings…that’s just it, I was bored with the LACK OF..
..then towards the middle of the book happened! about 30% in is when it started to pick up for me..
I actually LOL with this book, the banter was so funny and refreshing.
I read this book in 2 sittings, I easily could have done it in one… It does get that good! It’s a full length novel, but it could have been longer. I loved the characters and I really liked how this wasn’t just a fairy-tale “boy meets girl and they get married” romance. I liked that it addressed the ins-and-outs of dating and the struggle to find the right person.
But actually the author’s note at the end really made me re-think all that and looking back, I can appreciate it even more.

I really wish authors wouldn’t skimp on important details (especially at the beginning) to get the “good part” of the story. That’s what makes best-selling novel… you can give details and such without being long-winded! This isn’t directed towards this author in particular, but in general…
