About this ebook

Logan McCade arrives at his best friend's wedding overworked and in desperate need of a vacation, only to discover his best man duties have been...expanded. He must coax Sophie, Colton's little sister, out of her shell or risk her hiding in her room all week. Logan figures he can handle one shy bridesmaid, but he's not expecting how much he enjoys "handling" Sophie.

Socializing has never been introverted web designer Sophie Brooks's strong suit, but she's determined to shed her wallflower image and embrace the "New Sophie"-a feat made easier with the supremely sexy Logan McCade tempting her to explore all her forbidden fantasies. If she's not careful, she just might fall for the best man.

Sophie's sweet, sexy, and delectably awkward demeanor brings much-needed calm to Logan's hectic life. With the nuptials only days away, Logan is forced to face the possibility that his favor to a friend might have become something else entirely...and that he's not willing to let Sophie go. Ever.

Ratings and reviews

3.5 stars — So, like, this is a book that I bet 2016 Lenore (when I bought it) would have enjoyed so much more than 2021 Lenore. I’m a sucker for the shy, awkward, low self esteem heroine. Or, at least I was. I still am to some extent, but certain things tweak me now, and I can’t unnotice them. In this case it was some subtle body stuff — you know, how Sophie had to lose weight in order to feel desirable. That actually wasn’t too bad…it was realistic for how society behaves. So I got it to an extent, but it still prevented me from falling completely in love with the book, because it was brought up in little subtle ways that I wasn’t a fan of. And while I love the insecure heroine, Sophie took it to an extreme. There was some fire underneath, but her insecurities were hard to read about over and over. I got where it stemmed from, and I don’t blame her, but I guess I wasn’t in the mood for this much of it. The funny thing is, it was the things that stemmed from her insecurities that really drove me batty. She was jealous, and then kind of mean about it. She jumped to conclusions over Logan time and time again, even though his actions showed who he really was. And she wasn’t that nice to Reagan either. Logan was actually pretty great. It was hard watching him take forever to figure out his work stuff, but he got there. And he balanced opening Sophie’s eyes with not taking too much of her insecurities. The steamy scenes were pretty solid, some better than others obviously. So yeah. I don’t think I’m an Entangled Brazen reader…I enjoy erotic romance, but maybe these are just too short? Or maybe I’ve gotten too used to alien erotic romance? *snort*

Logan seems lust-worthy. But the protagonist's EXCESSIVE insecurities distracts from wanting to take the quick leap into love. It was annoying that even after a few steamy encounters Sophie couldn't grasp his interest is genuine. And painting a 'size 8' as a few lbs from chubby wasn't cool, either.

Leaves you hot and bothered kinda story. ;)
