Absolutely fantastic read to bring in the New Year， loved that Sam’s twin sister got her own book。 Wonderful characters and storyline of falling for your best friends big brother。 Set in my favorite city of Austin， TX， which just makes this all the more fun for me。 Love all the movie references and how Ben is the one to put himself out there and declare how he really feels。I am voluntarily leaving a review for this book that I received free。

Y’all， I DEVOURED this in mere hours。 It was fast-paced， short and spicy。 I love when two characters are pinning over each other in secret because of a brother’s best friend scenario。 Ben is a professional soccer player and has been in love with his little sister’s best friend since the very first time he met her。 Stella is going through a rough patch and is convinced that no one wants her， especially because she’s curvy。 When she ends up at the same place as Ben， her secret crush， it’s hard for Y’all， I DEVOURED this in mere hours。 It was fast-paced， short and spicy。 I love when two characters are pinning over each other in secret because of a brother’s best friend scenario。 Ben is a professional soccer player and has been in love with his little sister’s best friend since the very first time he met her。 Stella is going through a rough patch and is convinced that no one wants her， especially because she’s curvy。 When she ends up at the same place as Ben， her secret crush， it’s hard for her to pretend he isn’t her dream come true。The spice is perfect and I love how even though this is bordering on novella territory， it was a complete story。 It teased other characters and let me tell you， I already downloaded and started those books as well！I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

4/5 stars。 Ben and Stella are each pining for each other but with Ben being Stella's best friends brother， it gets complicated。 Each one assuming they would never， could never be together - it takes these two ending up in a cabin alone for the feelings to boil over。 I loved each character， there was no other women/other men as these two felt like they were it for each other。 The main drama came from Ben's sister freaking out once she found them together but even that was resolved quickly。 I love 4/5 stars。 Ben and Stella are each pining for each other but with Ben being Stella's best friends brother， it gets complicated。 Each one assuming they would never， could never be together - it takes these two ending up in a cabin alone for the feelings to boil over。 I loved each character， there was no other women/other men as these two felt like they were it for each other。 The main drama came from Ben's sister freaking out once she found them together but even that was resolved quickly。 I loved how we get to see Stella's brother Sam， his book was a fav of mine and this lead to me re-read his！I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

Ben and Stella have been pining for each other for years and I love when they finally give in to their feelings。 While the story moves quickly， we do get enough of their backstory and why they've stayed away。 I am glad Ben didn't waster time in going after Stella and making his true feelings known。 I would have loved an epilogue however。 Ben and Stella have been pining for each other for years and I love when they finally give in to their feelings。 While the story moves quickly， we do get enough of their backstory and why they've stayed away。 I am glad Ben didn't waster time in going after Stella and making his true feelings known。 I would have loved an epilogue however。 。。。more

Stella has a crush on Ben， her best friend's brother。 Ben has a long standing crush on her too。 So why aren't they together， you might ask。 For some reason that is not explained clearly here， Ben's sister Hazel made him promise he wouldn't hook up with Stella。 But now they're both spending the New Year at the same cabin and the sex is good。 This story is a quick read that took me about 40 minutes to finish。 I liked the dialogue and the general writing。 It was unclear to me why Hazel thought she Stella has a crush on Ben， her best friend's brother。 Ben has a long standing crush on her too。 So why aren't they together， you might ask。 For some reason that is not explained clearly here， Ben's sister Hazel made him promise he wouldn't hook up with Stella。 But now they're both spending the New Year at the same cabin and the sex is good。 This story is a quick read that took me about 40 minutes to finish。 I liked the dialogue and the general writing。 It was unclear to me why Hazel thought she had any right to get mad and I thought Ben should have just left her fuming and gone after Stella immediately。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

Never promise your sister you’ll stay away from her bestie。 Ahhh， poor Ben。 He suffers from unrequited love for Stella， his sister’s best friend。 Yup， that best friend…the one on which a fateful promise was made。 Ben shook my heart when he tried to explain his - ahem - dry spell with the ladies。 “Contrary to how some men might work， my heart rules my di*k。” Truth is， his heart only wants Stella。 Sam and Stella both have the same idea to spend NYE alone in a lake cabin， pining for the other。 Luck Never promise your sister you’ll stay away from her bestie。 Ahhh， poor Ben。 He suffers from unrequited love for Stella， his sister’s best friend。 Yup， that best friend…the one on which a fateful promise was made。 Ben shook my heart when he tried to explain his - ahem - dry spell with the ladies。 “Contrary to how some men might work， my heart rules my di*k。” Truth is， his heart only wants Stella。 Sam and Stella both have the same idea to spend NYE alone in a lake cabin， pining for the other。 Lucky for them they happen to choose the same cabin。 Cue 🔥🔥🔥 and ⚡️⚡️⚡️The chemistry between these two， is off the charts hot。 The best friend’s brother trope does not disappoint， especially with Kat’s special kind of witty banter that kept a smile on face through the whole book。 Add a pissed off little sister， a foster dog named Jack and you’ll adore Ben and Stella’s love story。 。。。more

4。5 StarsI thought that this was a really sweet book。 I really like Stella and Ben together。 The connection and chemistry between these two was great。 Stella and Ben have been in love with each other for years but never said anything。 These is a little bit of drama but Ben was not going to let the only woman that he ever loved get away again。 I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it and Ms。 Kat as a wonderful author。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily 4。5 StarsI thought that this was a really sweet book。 I really like Stella and Ben together。 The connection and chemistry between these two was great。 Stella and Ben have been in love with each other for years but never said anything。 These is a little bit of drama but Ben was not going to let the only woman that he ever loved get away again。 I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it and Ms。 Kat as a wonderful author。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

The author has given us a fast paced， quick read that pulls us into the lives of Ben and Stella and does not let go。 They have each crushed on the other for years but never shared their feelings。 New Years Eve they act upon their connection， ignoring the promises that were made to her best friend/his sister， Hazel。 Will she be able to forgive them？I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

I like that this book got right to the point instead of beating behind the bush。 I enjoyed that the author made the girl curvy instead of your typical skinny girl。 Especially when Ben was complimenting Stella on her body and as a girl in todays time it’s hard accepting compliments when it comes to our body。 I do wish it was a little longer since it was a quick read！ But the fact it took place in Texas， I loved considering I live in the DFW area。

This was a wonderfully steamy and heartwarming best friend’s brother romance。 I love that trope and this story was such a great example of why。 The forbidden relationship that isn’t forbidden at all。 Ben and Stella had such a wonderful connection and their chemistry was off the charts。 I loved how the story was connected to previous Kat Baxter books but it was still a standalone。 I only wish that the story had an epilogue of what happened to Ben and Stella in the future but that’s just because I This was a wonderfully steamy and heartwarming best friend’s brother romance。 I love that trope and this story was such a great example of why。 The forbidden relationship that isn’t forbidden at all。 Ben and Stella had such a wonderful connection and their chemistry was off the charts。 I loved how the story was connected to previous Kat Baxter books but it was still a standalone。 I only wish that the story had an epilogue of what happened to Ben and Stella in the future but that’s just because I didn’t want the story to end。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more
