About this eBook

Her brother’s best friend is hotter than sin and she’s about to show up at his luxury apartment. After a lifetime of good behavior, will Connor Dow be able to resist the ultimate temptation on his doorstep?

In New York, the city that never sleeps, Gabrielle “Brie” Lawson can’t get any shut-eye. Not as a struggling actress and definitely not with her longtime crush, Connor, now so close to her bedroom. The devastating, gorgeous club owner has always been off-limits to her. But given that he’s letting her stay with him, that means…well, he might be open to reworking certain sexual boundaries.

With a little private time, Brie is determined to seduce him, cooking him romantic meals and prancing around in lacy lingerie. He shouldn’t expect a creative beauty to be hemmed in by virtue—or clothing. So it doesn’t take long for Connor to trade some late hours at the office for sultry nights with Brie. He seems tailor-made for her in every way. From his well-ordered life to messing up the sheets, there’s no one else. But would he risk losing his best friend—and his business—for a chance at true love?

Take control. Feel the rush. Explore your fantasies—Harlequin DARE publishes sexy romances featuring powerful alpha males and bold, fearless heroines exploring their deepest fantasies.

Ratings and reviews

This was a fun and sexy read. Connor and Brie are opposites and have know each other forever. Brie is a struggling actress and needs a place to live and so she shows up on Connors doorstep with all her belongings with her. He wanted to say NO. How could he live with this beautiful girl and not have her? She is his best friends little sister. Brie finds him attractive and she wouldn't mind some fun. When something casual becomes something more, Conner isn't sure if he is the right man for her. His pass is creating a conflict in is head and feels unable to stand by her side. Not a lot of angst in this book and not a ton of steamy scenes. The ending came quickly and that was the only thing that felt a little off. Still a very good read.

Brie Lawson , an aspiring actress in NYC wants to give her brother and his fiancée privacy in their apartment. She moves out, but where to go? Connor Dow, his brother’s nightclub partner has just the place. Connor has been attracted to Brie, but as his best friend’s little sister, she was hands off. After Brie moves in, they both make more of an effort to hang out together. Feelings begin to take root and decisions have to be made. Can this couple who are opposites come together for their happily ever after? This sexy and sweet story was a page turner for me. One of my favorite parts was when Brie defended Connor against his father and how she helped Connor realize that there was more to life than work. I loved both of these characters proving sometimes opposites do attract.

I enjoy forbidden romances and brother's best friend is sometimes my guilty pleasure. This one didn't disappoint. Brie is determined to get Connor to see her as more than a friend and sparks fly quickly. This is sweet and sexy and one naughty read.
