Often (Iron Orchids #4) by Danielle Norman
**4 Stars**
He broke her heart and didn't know. How? Well, he didn't know she loved him. And she does, and has since she was five. Leo has wanted Ian for a long time, but never spoke the words to make it happen, or even see if she had a chance. They're so different what would be the point? Yes, opposites attract, but they're basically living in completely different worlds. His consists of suits, a big home, a degree, and work. Hers is all about leather, her bike, and using her trade school education to become a mechanic. But they are friends and she'll take it, since there's really no other option. Or is there?
Ian has never considered Leo in a womanly sense, though he of course knows she is one. She's his friend and once you've been labeled as such you can never escape that zone, right? Well, the rules don't seem to apply to Leo because suddenly Ian is seeing her in a whole new light. Especially when Leo finds herself unemployed, and on the verge of losing not only her home, but also her mind. Someone is toying with Leo and Ian vows to keep her safe, but also to make sure she knows his feelings for her have completely changed and there's no going back.
Who is after Leo and why? Can Ian protect her? What happens when the danger to her is over? Is that the end of their growing relationship? Or just the beginning? Is a HEA possible?
One-click now and follow along as two people finally become what they were always meant to be...together. On a positive note, though I love friends to lovers books and the like, it can be tricky as I also hate the idea of either seeing one another with someone else while having feelings for them. Thankfully at least, we the readers aren't privy to any of that even though both have been with others in the past. There is some small OW drama as Ian's secretary has the hots for him, but he isn't and never has been interested. And once he sees Leo for who she's meant to be in his life, he's all in and gains a spot in the book boyfriend list. I like that they did have a solid foundation of friendship before becoming more, though I do wish it didn't take so long to reach it.
