About this ebook

A nerdy wallflower recruits her athlete roommate to give her love lessons

As a Highland Games athlete and firefighter, I’m used to women trying to get under my kilt. But I never expected to be propositioned by my bookworm roommate.

Casey’s one of my best friends and my buddy’s younger sister. What am I supposed to do when she confesses that she’s on a mission to lose her virginity—and I’m the guy she trusts to do the deed?

If I say no, she’ll only turn to another dude instead. Someone’s got to keep her out of trouble, so I agree to give her some hands-on experience. A little friends-with-benefits action shouldn’t be a problem. I can teach Casey how to bring a man to his knees and still keep things platonic.

Uh, yeah. Small problem. The more boxes we check off on Casey’s lesson plan, the more I realize I’ve taught her too well.

Because the man she’s bringing to his knees is me.

KILT TO ORDER is a sizzling small town brother's best friend romcom that features a found family of muscly men in kilts, a spunky booknerd virgin, a protective playboy roommate who agrees to be her love coach, and a guaranteed HEA for these two adorable friends to lovers.

Ratings and reviews

Friends to Lovers is always one of my favorite troupes. I had trouble putting this one down to go to bed last night. I would have stayed up to finish it, but I had a meeting this morning. Casey and Gareth are a wonderful couple who really deserve each other. I was so happy they fell into the role of lovers so easily. The story was funny and entertaining. I started it last night, and before I knew it, I was halfway through. I also enjoy the cameos from past characters from this series. I look forward to more books in this series.

I love Susannah Nix and I enjoy her writing style. She never disappoints. She has great world building that allows the reader to be immersed and engaged throughout. Her heroines are amazing but complicated while her heroes are gorgeous and beautifully flawed. Casey and Gareth are no exception. They have such great chemistry that flows naturally. This friends to lovers is a slow burn inferno! Nix has quickly become a one-click, no questions asked author for me.

I've read every ARC and Susannah Nix has delivered lovable characters in every one. Kilt to Order is no exception! In my mind, the story was a great blend of some of my favorite movies, Maid of Honor meets the Duff. I mean who doesn't LOVE an athlete/nerd friends to lovers romance?! The odds are not in their favor but somehow the relationship and budding romance just WORKS!
