REVIEW: I really liked the characters in this book. Dylan is a firefighter that is fighting his attraction to his best friend, Charlotte (Charley). Charley feels guilty because she invoked the local love legend by accidentally kissing Dylan. The book could use some editing to tighten up the story. It drags a little with too much day to day stuff. It is still a heartwarming story. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation from the author and this is my voluntary review.

DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: The biggest prank could be falling in love…

In this San Francisco neighborhood, a kiss at sunset means you might find your true love. Two best friends are about to find out if the legend is real.

Lt. firefighter Dylan Reyes believes the sunset kiss legend is nothing more than a tourist attraction. He's a big fan of exit plans, science and health insurance. But since the last time his best friend Charley was in the city, he hasn't stopped thinking about her naked. One night, and a realistic dream, changed everything.

When Charley Young spreads the word that Dylan has kissed a woman at sunset and is now engaged, her prank sets off a sequence of events. Her intent was to keep single women away from the hunky firefighter, but it has other, far reaching consequences.

Charley doesn’t quite know how to break the news to Dylan, but he’s been kissed at sunset. By her. Last time she was in the city a year ago. It was an accident. Seriously. She’s not kidding.

And if the legend is true, this could be the start of something big. Like true love.

Too bad Dylan isn’t a believer… ( )

Charley is back home to helping her foster sister, Milly while she’s on bed rest. She’s been traveling the world as a sous chef & isn’t planning on sticking around any longer than she has to. She’s had to take over running the bakery for Molly & baking isn’t what she wants to do. It’s nice to catch up with Dylan in person instead of by text & phone.

Dylan has been Charley’s best friend since high school. He knows she won’t be satisfied to stay in town. She’s destined for bigger places. That’s why he won’t let his feelings for her to deepen. He won’t hold her back.

I really enjoyed reading this story. It’s witty, funny & emotional. Ms. Bell does an excellent job of developing characters that her readers can relate to & engage with. Charley was always afraid to trust in other people because of being put into foster care. She thought people always left. She recognized the love her foster mother felt for her too late & was always trying to make up for it. She didn’t tell Dylan how she felt because she was afraid to lose his friendship. Dylan kept putting her feelings ahead of his own. He didn’t think she’d be happy there so he kept pushing her to leave. I enjoyed the experience of watching Charley come to her conclusions & grow into her emotions. ( )
