I was pleasantly surprised by this one. 
From the back cover:
At the age of fourteen, Jessica Kellerman was madly infatuated with Evan Dryden, one of the boys next door. Now, ten years later, everyone still believes she's still carrying a torch for the roguish Evan. Everyone, including his older brother, Damian. And they all persist in applauding this nonexistent romance. She's just the right woman for Evan, they say.
Jessica finds it frustrating in the extreme. Because she's in love, all right, and with one of the Dryden men, too. The wrong Dryden man. Damian, not Evan. And this time, Jessica knows her feelings aren't some silly teenage crush, they're the real thing.
But how's she supposed to convince Evan of that, not to mention their families and friends? Most important, How's she going to convince Damian?
While I do quite like Debbie Macomber, I'm not a big fan of the HR line so I really wasn't sure if I was going to like this one but I was in the mood for a quick read so I decided to give this book (and its sequel) a try. I have to say that I rather enjoyed this book. I liked the characters and, while I thought Jessica could have been a little more vocal about her feelings at times, I understood why she wasn't. I also really liked the ending.
Rating: 3.9

Hi
Terri - Yes, I think they were re-released in one book called Ready for Love or something like that.
Sadhbh - I thought it was quite good (for an HR
).
