Love Changes Everything by Peri Elizabeth Scott
Simon has developed feelings for the girl who bedeviled him growing up, his best friend’s sister—not that Alys is a girl any longer. She’s a grown-up, beautiful, wonderful woman who makes him crazy. He obtains her brother’s permission to date her, and asks her out. And is rejected.
Alys is innocent and plans to stay that way until she meets a man who holds the same moral code, regardless of her lengthy crush on Simon. Privy to his escapades and conquests, her jealousy has turned to distaste and she sets herself on a different path.
She wants a man who has refrained from meaningless affairs, who has waited for the special woman.
Simon does the research but Google assures him he can’t become re-virginized and thus Alys is beyond his reach—until one day when he takes her for lunch in his beloved truck. That day, love changes.

Just a heads up for other readers. This is NOT the same book as "Nothing in My Heart" by the same author, even though it was also listed under the title "Love Changes Everything". These two stories were about two different couples. "Nothing in My Heart" was about Beckett and Grace Kilmer, while THIS story was about Alys Standish and Simon Carruthers.
Love Changes Everything was about 24-year-old Alys Standish and 29-year-old Simon Carruthers, her brother's BFF. Simon had recently started viewing Alys as more than just his BFF's little sister. However, she didn't seem to feel the same because he had gotten her brother's approval to ask her out, only for her to turn him down. Her reasoning was that she didn't date men with a checkered past, and Simon had definitely been with more than his fair share of women. She wanted someone who shared her "moral code" and wasn't as experienced as Simon, even though she had been in love with him since she was a teenager. Several months after being rejected by her and having done more traveling from work than he actually had to do, Simon made the mistake of taking a date to poker night at Alys' home she shared with her brother and his fiancee. However, he saw the jealousy she couldn't hide, which gave him hope. The following day he took her to lunch, and things sort of exploded between them at that point and...well, I'll let you figure out where this went from that point on when you read it. The angst and drama were lowkey, as was the spiciness. It was a short story that had only a few twists and turns, but it wasn't really overwhelmingly romantic. It felt quite juvenile, and the whole story was a bit lacking in so many ways. There wasn't much backstory for the characters, and they didn't spend any time together on-page. There were months that took place off-page and weren't explored by either the author or the two main characters. Alys seemed to be more than a little repressed in her ideology about intimacy, which seemed more fitting for the 1800s than in 2018 when the story was written. While there is nothing wrong with waiting until finding one's soulmate, the whole thing with her felt judgemental and catty. The book had quite a few gaps in the thought process. There were times when one of the main characters was doing something, then suddenly a time jump occurred, and what they were doing changed without warning. It was a short, but sweet, yet kinda not, story that left the reader wanting...something more...anything more. It fell flat in that it just didn't go anywhere really. Because of how flat it was, I couldn't give it more than a three-star rating.
