What Are Friends For? (Seasons in a Small Town, Book 1) by Patricia McLinn Book Summary
❤ Best friends always, lovers once . . . and now? ❤
Seasons in a Small Town – Spring
In small-town Drago, Illinois, Zeke came by his “the Geek” nickname honestly, more comfortable with algebra and algorithms than high school’s social hallways. Though that didn’t keep him from longing for the unattainable prom queen, Jennifer.
The one person who understood his out-of-the-box brain was Darcie, his best friend. For one night, Zeke and Darcie jolt from friends to lovers. Then he leaves town. Darcie knew her Zeke. He’d never look back, wouldn’t ever see her feelings for him. Now, 17 years later, Zeke’s a self-made tech billionaire, Darcie’s a local cop, Jennifer’s divorced and Darcie’s best friend.
Their town is flagging, but Darcie has a plan. It starts with luring Zeke back to Drago for its annual Lilac Festival, then persuading him to boost the town’s economy. Even if that means matchmaking him with the beautiful Jennifer he’s always longed for. She’ll do it for him, for Jennifer, for Drago.
Zeke swore he’d never come back to where he was miserable, other than his connection with Darcie. But maybe being back won’t be so bad. Especially spending time with Jennifer … and Darcie. Now why did he think of Darcie when things were going so well with Jennifer?
Darcie’s plan doesn’t get off to the best start when she puts Zeke in handcuffs, but they can get past that. For Drago’s sake, they have to. Just like she’ll get past wondering what if…
What Are Friends For?, Book 1 of USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn's Seasons in a Small Town series, will captivate readers who love passionate contemporary romance with a spark of humor.

What are friends for. What a wonderful story!!! Thank you so much for keeping this story clean…fantastic.
What are friends for. Great book easy read
Heartwarming. Absolutely loved it!
What are Friends For. First time reading this author. A clean book. A story about a small town and it’s inhabitants. The feature players were Zeke and Darcie, who grew up together. Darcie had a crush on him in high school even though he was a geek, he had a crush on the prettiest girl in school, Jennifer. But Zeke and Darcie are each other’s first sexual experience after graduation. Then he immediately leaves town and makes it big in the tech world. She stays and becomes a police officer. She and Jennifer cook up a plan to get him to come back with hopes of him reviving the dieing small town. I wish I could say the story kept me interested, but it didn’t. But once I start a book, I always try to finish. It was just an ok read for me.
Unusual characters and plot. Motivation and underlying issues make for a good story. Fun introduction to two of the main characters. Flaws make characters really interesting
Sweet and entertaining. Lots of little twists along the way
Never again. Uninteresting and the story drags. Too many little side stories and the main plot gets lost in the shuffle.
Very interesting. The story flows and keeps the reader interested. A teenager leaving home for a better future comes back to find his sweetheart working as a police officer. He doesn’t want to stay there but his love is bigger. He relocated his business, saves the town and married the love of his life.
What are friends for??. Fun, twisting and romantic
What are Friends For. Wow! Great book. Makes you smile in the end. Wish friends were like that! Thanks!
Another hit. Have enjoyed many books by this author and never disappointed. Loved exploring the background of the characters to see what led them to their choices. Even our closest friends don’t know why we make our decisions.
Awesome Read!. I love a good, fun and somewhat awkward book. Awkward as in not perfect characters, quirky, but honest, that if a certain fellow, a tech geek, can put his emotions into words. This was a great, clean book with a interesting storyline. I must read❤️
What are friends for. Good reading TY

Enjoyed it. Thoroughly enjoyed this story from beginning to end.
Ah! Friends…. Sweet and insightful writing. Characters go on a bumpy journey of self discovery that ultimately lands them in a place where they are both free of their pasts and keen to get on with their futures. As the first book in a series there were a lot of characters to be introduced; so many all at once was confusing to begin with which was a bit frustrating. Loved it though and look forward to catching up with Zeke and Darcie in the other books in the series ❤️
