Millicent – don’t call me Millie- Merriweather has had a thing for Tom Franklin since she was twelve years old. At the time he was a senior in high school, which meant her dreams of being his girl weren't meant to be.

Her thirtieth birthday is getting closer by the hour, but she's still crushing big time on her first love. The problem is her childhood crush is now her BFF and Merri isn't sure how to get out of the friend zone.

With a divorce under his belt, a Purple Heart stashed in a drawer, and a business to run, Tom Franklin chooses to avoid the dating scene. Besides, no one interests him the way Merri does. If only they weren't trapped in the friend zone.

When Tom needs a date for a banquet recognizing his dad, he asks Merri.
With everyone they know cheering them on from the sidelines, the comically sexy misadventures of Tom and Merri begin.

What happens after that is a wild, laugh-filled, adventure.

This book is absolutely freaking hilarious! I think I started laughing with the first line, and was still laughing through the end of the prologue! This is definitely a feel good, put you in a happy place book.

Merri is a hoot. She is a one of a kind, dances to her own drummer kind of girl. She is loyal to those she loves, and happy with her life. Except for one little thing. She's in love with her best friend! And she just knows that there is no possibility that he could feel the same way. They have been friends since she was very young, and have stayed friends through military deployment, marriage, divorce, relationships, breakups. Is a friendship that true worth loosing to a possibility?

Tom is a tech genius who has spent the past several years, after leaving the military, building his business with his partner. Now, suddenly, his feelings for his best friend are changing in some not so subtle ways. He wants her to look at him differently too, but isn't sure how she will react to the changes.

Tom and Merri's story is one that will put a smile on your face. I couldn't contain my hilarity at their interactions. I loved them together, since they were so absolutely perfect for each other. It was a beautiful story, full of friends to lovers romance, fun and excitement for new beginnings!

"Here we go. Let's get our future started."

This was such a cute friends-to-lovers story! Nothing like fighting your way out of the friend zone and smack dab in the middle of the best thing that ever happened to you!

For years, Tom Franklin and Millicent "Merri" Merriweather have been friends. At least that's what they've told themselves. But on the inside? Gah! Neither one has mustered up the nerve to take that first step out of the friend zone. What if the other didn't feel the same? What if they DID cross that line and it ruined everything? Well, Tom is tired of waiting. He makes a decision and asks her a question. Here we go.

I loved this couple. Tom, the sexy tech nerd who's made her hear race since she was a teenager. Merri, the sassy woman who test his limits and drives him crazy, which only makes him want her all the more. These two are the perfect example of a made-for-each other romance!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A really fun read - friends to lovers

Merri and Tom are some of my favorite people. Their journey from friends to lovers was both steamy and hilarious. The dialog between the characters is laugh out loud funny. When you add in the first person inner dialogs of Tom and Merri, it can easily induce a case of the giggles or the gigglesnorts, so you may get puzzled looks from the people around you when you’re reading. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

They each value their friendship, and don’t want to do anything to put it at risk, so they are very careful about how they move out of the friend zone. Once they do… wow. All the hotness. But even as their relationship evolves, they don’t lose the close and quirky friendship that has sustained both of them over the years. There are references to issues Tom faces as a result of going off to war, and the ways the world changed in the aftermath of 911, but these glimpses add depth to the characters, and texture to the story. Ms. Halliday deftly weaves in references from other parts of the Until world, but in such a way that you don’t feel lost, you just know there are other interesting characters to meet. This book definitely deserves all the stars.

This is my first read by this author and there will be more.

Millicent Merriweather had a crush on Tom Franklin since she was a child. They were firmly stuck in the "friend zone" until shortly before her 30th birthday, Tom made his move. Love the scenes with JJ and June (from Until June).

divorced and he had a business to run besides, no one ever made him feel like his best-friend Merri did. He only wished they were not stuck in the friend zone. Little did he know that Merri felt exactly the same.

They realized that they both had nearly lost their chance at true happiness. LoL all their loved ones had to say was it was about time for them to get their heads out of the sand. When they finally put their cards on the table, things got a little explosive.

Tom and Merri finally got their HEA.

Until Merri is a couple who find a home in each other’s heart. Tom and Merri are stunningly bright, sharp and quick-minded. They build a fantastic relationship with not only each other, but with their respective family and friends. The author Suzanne Halliday creates a couple who have a beautiful friendship that blossoms into an attraction they can no longer deny. This quickly develops into a deep-seeded sensual love for each other. I laughed so much with the realistic scenarios that were entwined into this story. Having made the final step from friend to lover this story gives you so many emotions that make you swoon and laugh all at the same time. It doesn’t get much better than this if you are looking for a feel good and entertaining HEA. Go Suzanne - great job!

Where to start! I loved this book.
Millicent “Merri” Merriweather has loved Tom Franklin since she was 12 and he was 18, but pals to best friends is were they are almost 18 years later. What happens when you realize “the one” has been right under your nose all along? Well grab a copy and follow Tom and Merri in this sexy, fun filled romance from friends to lovers. Love the banter and snark all through this book. Didn’t want it to end. You will love all the characters and some you may know from the Until Series.
Favorite quote from Merri “You have a Clark Kent meets Bill Nye hotness.” Love It❤️

This is a story about 2BFF that both want to cross the BFF to more line but neither want to balls it up.
Until Tom man's up and takes the plunge!!!!!
In a hilarious way of doing it, it sets the way for a beautifully funny at ease relationship.
He's allowed to be the Alpha that he wants to be to take care of Merri and she let's him and only him be the caveman.
These two are so funny together and apart that they are made for each other.
Thank you Suzanne for a lovely read.

Tom and Merri’s story. They have been friends for years. Tom married Merri’s sister’s friend which upset Merri and she ended up engaged but found he had cheated, so she dumped him. After 911 Tom joined the army so was away a lot and his wife cheated so they divorced. At the beginning of the story it was more silly banter between Tom and Merri. Unbeknownst to each other they both had feelings, but didn’t want to come out with it because it might ruin their friendship. Tom eventually invited her to be his date to an Award evening, where things escalated. Would have liked a bit of drama either from her ex or his ex who was still big mates with her sister. His ex made up a lot of lies and ruined Tom’s reputation and Merri’s sister believed her friend and hated him and fell out with her sister. The story basically focussed Tom and Merri and how they got over the friends issue.
