Lines are crossed and promises broken when a forbidden kiss ignites an irresistible attraction in this sizzling brother’s best friend romance…

 

“Promise me you’ll always look out for Andie.”

By the time I was seventeen, I knew my best friend’s younger sister was the only girl I’d ever love.

We’re all grown up now, but my feelings for Andie haven’t changed. She’s the smartest woman I know and the only one who sees through the carefree act I hide behind. She deserves better than a screw-up like me—failed musician, part-time handyman, and full-time black sheep of my family.

I’ll do anything to protect her, so I keep my distance and my hands to myself.

When the tumble-down house she inherited needs repairs, I jump on my white horse and swoop in to help her with the renovations. Even though it means spending dangerous amounts of time together.

I’ve got it under control until the night a surprise kiss changes everything between us.

One scorching-hot taste of her is all it takes to shatter my defenses. Now that I know how much she wants me, I’m addicted to our secret glances and stolen touches.

Around our friends and family, we pretend we’re still just friends.

But when we’re alone? We can’t keep our hands off each other.

This game we’re playing is bound to blow up in our faces, just like everything else I touch. If I can’t prove I’m worthy of Andie’s love, I’m going to lose my two best friends in the world.

 

MY CONE AND ONLY is a swoony, feel-good friends to lovers romance featuring a STEM heroine who takes no crap, a surprisingly loyal bad-boy rocker who’s head over heels for the one woman he thinks he can’t have, lots of small-town shenanigans, and an epic grovel.

 

It stands alone with a guaranteed HEA and kicks off the six-book KING FAMILY series. Your heart will melt for this band of unruly siblings behind a Texas ice cream empire as they stumble on the rocky road to love while dealing with their big, messy family. 

Calificaciones y opiniones

I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this book, it is a sweet and easy-to-read story, with a very charming small-town setting and lovable characters. Although the trope has been used a lot and there isn't much novelty about the way it develops in this book, Susannah has such an engaging voice that, much as every book I've read from her, My Cone and Only had me devouring it in a couple of days. Andy is a pretty fun character but I missed a little more nerdiness showing throughout her advance in the story. However, Wyatt's openness and vulnerability were definitely what kept me invested in the unfolding of the romance, I was so rooting for him to find his HEA! All in all, this was a very entertaining and enjoyable book, light and fun reading with a lot of endearing characters and situations, I definitely recommend it and am very anxiously expecting the next installment in the series.
