Summary

She’s the woman he can’t live without。

The one he can’t risk screwing up their relationship by sleeping with her。


Linc Kingston doesn’t accept anything less than perfection。 Not in his billion-dollar business or in his personal life。 He has it all。 Except one thing。 His personal assistant and best friend in his bed, moaning his name。 No matter how much Linc wants her, she’s completely off-limits。

Jordan Greene grew up the daughter of the housekeeper at the Kingston estate, where she met and bonded with Linc at a young age, despite their economic differences。 But no matter how close they are now or how much their attraction simmers beneath the surface, they’re still from two different worlds。 Besides, Jordan isn’t about to risk losing her best friend for one sensual night。

Jordan might be the only woman who can handle Linc and his domineering, bossy attitude, but beneath that gruff exterior is a vulnerable man who, despite his wealth, has had a less-than-charmed life。 And when Linc’s father dies, she’s there for him—unwavering in her friendship。

Until one night of passion and a positive pregnancy test changes everything。

Linc and Jordan have been best friends forever and have always resisted the temptation of giving in cause they knew it might damage what they have until one night blurs the friend line completely and what comes next practically destroys it cause of Linc! I loved these two together and I especially loved Jordan

When Kenneth Kingston died, Linc started going through all his papers both personal and relating to business。 What he found was the evidence of paying his ex secretary to take care of and keep their child a secret。 When Linc can't find her he hires a PI。 What he finds horrifies him, apparently the girl had ended up in foster care when her grandmother died。 Neither her mother or his father did anything to prevent it。We met Aurora in Dare to Stay, she's staying with Braden Prescott's girlfriend Wi When Kenneth Kingston died, Linc started going through all his papers both personal and relating to business。 What he found was the evidence of paying his ex secretary to take care of and keep their child a secret。 When Linc can't find her he hires a PI。 What he finds horrifies him, apparently the girl had ended up in foster care when her grandmother died。 Neither her mother or his father did anything to prevent it。We met Aurora in Dare to Stay, she's staying with Braden Prescott's girlfriend Willow and works for Austin at Dare Nation。 It's her job there that enables Linc Kingston to find her。 Now Linc is heading to Florida to meet her and hopefully bring her home to New York。 His brothers Dash and Zander and his sister Chloe are in agreement that Aurora is entitled to an inheritance and they want her to be a part of their family。Jordan Greene is Linc's best friend and his personal assistant。 She grew up with the Kingston's but not as an equal。 Her mother was the Kingston's housekeeper and she was graciously allowed to play and do homework with the Kingston siblings。 She's always had feelings for Linc but her mother is forever reminding her she isn't in his class and any relationship other than business would only bring heartache。Linc relies on Jordan for many things in business, she's able to anticipate what he needs and spur of the moment plans are made and confirmed quickly and efficiently。 He's also more than a little in love with her, but has been afraid to take a chance and possibly lose her friendship。 Jordan's a bit surprised that he wants her to come with him on this trip to meet his half sister but really has no reason to say no。 Even though they shared a kiss when he showed up a tad drunk the night before。Once they hit Florida, Austin puts a temporary halt to Linc's plan to meet Aurora, he wants to prepare her for this meeting。 Linc grudgingly agrees to wait for his call。 In the meantime things heat up with him and Jordan and now he's afraid it might be a mistake。The meeting with Aurora goes well and she needs to process the information and get to know Linc better before making a decision to travel to NY。 There's also her pregnancy to consider when it comes to flying, so she has a week。 It's when Jordan joins them for breakfast the next day that she helps Linc understand a bit about how Aurora is acting。Of course once they return to NY, things change a bit but Jordan is conflicted and Linc decides he really wants a relationship with Jordan。Aurora is a sweetheart and everyone is helping her get adjusted not only to being in NY but also in planning for the baby。This is a delightful read, with laughter, tears, and a relationship that sizzles off the pages。I can't wait to read the next book in this series! 。。。more

I can understand why Linc doesn’t want to fall into the trap as his father did。 He wanted to be nothing like him。 Which he isn’t。 But the surprise of knowing they had a sister that they didn’t know about changes things。 He does what he knows is right but he makes a mess of his relationship with Jordan。 These two have been friends for a long time and have fought their temptation。 That never seems to work out。 When one night of passion changes things, Jordan stands up and holds strong。 You would t I can understand why Linc doesn’t want to fall into the trap as his father did。 He wanted to be nothing like him。 Which he isn’t。 But the surprise of knowing they had a sister that they didn’t know about changes things。 He does what he knows is right but he makes a mess of his relationship with Jordan。 These two have been friends for a long time and have fought their temptation。 That never seems to work out。 When one night of passion changes things, Jordan stands up and holds strong。 You would think things would go great but it does take a dive。 I was shocked how Linc reacted。 With issues of what his father did prior to his death cause waves and the past crashing in。 We have so much to wonder about。 Linc and his old friend Beck, status and even, looking into yourself。 It’s funny how so many of the Dares, Kingston, and Prescott all found the love of their life right in their own office。 But now I have to go back and read the other series to catch up a bit。 I am looking forward to reading about Chloe next。 That one is going to be interesting。 。。。more

This is the first in the Kingston family series, and focuses on oldest son Linc。 Linc is the only one in his family who has gone into the business, and after his father passed, he's left to pick up the pieces。 He has to fix his father's problems, both professionally and personally, which makes Linc question the man his father was。 Though they were never close, the secrets his father was hiding only serves to further make Linc question his relationships and what he wants out of life。What Linc has This is the first in the Kingston family series, and focuses on oldest son Linc。 Linc is the only one in his family who has gone into the business, and after his father passed, he's left to pick up the pieces。 He has to fix his father's problems, both professionally and personally, which makes Linc question the man his father was。 Though they were never close, the secrets his father was hiding only serves to further make Linc question his relationships and what he wants out of life。What Linc has neve questioned is his relationship with his best friend Jordan。 Jordan's mother was the house keeper for Linc's family, and he and Jordan grew up knowing each other and are best friends。 However, Jordan's mom is quick to remind her of the financial disparity between them, as are other people who want to rip Jordan and Linc apart。 When Linc and Jordan gives in to their feelings, they have to learn how to navigate this new aspect of their relationship and get over their insecurities to trust each other。I really like both characters, especially how Linc grew up with money but is still generous and kind。 Jordan compliments him, and she also just doesn't play the side piece waiting for him。 She helps him in business and gives him advice, and Linc has always been there for her too, especially through her experience with an ex。 They have to overcome a lot of obstacles, some personal feelings about how they were raised and how they view relationships, but also how others view them。 At the end of the day, what matters is their loyalty and love, and Linc and Jordan has plenty of those feelings for each other。 。。。more

A fabulous start to another predictably fantastic series by Carly Phillips!!! It’s a lifelong best friends to scorching hot lovers story。 Truly enjoyed the read, couldn’t put it down until I was finished! A definite MUST read! Can’t wait to read the other books in this series! Loved it!!I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

If there is one thing I can always count on with a story by Carly Phillips, it is that people are basically all good。 To that extent, life has shown me time and again that the bad normally is taught in one way or another。 Just One Night begins an adventure I think we are all going to learn from。 This is book 1 of the Kingston Family series。 If this is how our author starts, we are in for a heck of a ride。Linc Kingston is independent, successful, driven and very sure of his destiny。 While all may If there is one thing I can always count on with a story by Carly Phillips, it is that people are basically all good。 To that extent, life has shown me time and again that the bad normally is taught in one way or another。 Just One Night begins an adventure I think we are all going to learn from。 This is book 1 of the Kingston Family series。 If this is how our author starts, we are in for a heck of a ride。Linc Kingston is independent, successful, driven and very sure of his destiny。 While all may look good to others on the outside, his personal side has not been so pretty。 Family can be difficult to deal with sometimes and when family surprises hit, what is a man to do? Good vs bad can be a battle。 Doing what’s right comes naturally, even if his path to getting it done is flawed。Jordan Greene came up through the ranks per se。 Yet Jordan has fought and scratched to climb to the pinnacle she enjoys today。 Where many forget there are many ways to succeed, she is skilled at aiding others when they need the guidance。 But what she doesn’t realize is, sometimes she has to let others be there for her also。 Past heartaches can teach, but we should never let them stop us from living。Carly Phillips brings “it” in Book 1 with a story of family honor, family responsibility, and social surprises。 It’s not what you wear on the outside as much as what you have on the inside… And in this story Linc and Jordan discover what others have known for a very long time。 Friendship and family sometimes do go together。 Where this series continues will be most rewarding, and of course Carly could not end this story WITHOUT us hanging from the edge of our seat waiting for the next installment。 Very well done lady! 。。。more

Rating: 3 stars What I Liked: I thought this was an easy, enjoyable read。 The story flows nicely and I think the pacing is good。I liked both main characters, Jordan and Linc, and I thought their relationship was quite sweet and had decent chemistry。 The sex scenes were well-written。 I particularly liked the idea of their friendship - (view spoiler)[There's a part halfway through where he gives this little speech about how she's his best friend and his 'person' which I thought was very cute。 (hid Rating: 3 stars What I Liked: I thought this was an easy, enjoyable read。 The story flows nicely and I think the pacing is good。I liked both main characters, Jordan and Linc, and I thought their relationship was quite sweet and had decent chemistry。 The sex scenes were well-written。 I particularly liked the idea of their friendship - (view spoiler)[There's a part halfway through where he gives this little speech about how she's his best friend and his 'person' which I thought was very cute。 (hide spoiler)]What I Didn’t: I found the writing a little bland - it’s not bad writing at all, but it’s very literal and there are a couple of occasions where things are explicitly stated where they could have been left up to the imagination。 It’s also quite detailed - there’s a lot of describing people getting changed and getting a snack and stuff。I thought the ending was a bit much (view spoiler)[it wasn’t rushed in terms of pacing, but it was rushed in terms of their relationship - I didn’t really like the fact they were immediately getting engaged when they’d just said they loved each other, best friends or not。 (hide spoiler)]Overall: It was a nice book and I’m interested in the idea of the rest of the series, so I’d probably look out for them。Would I Recommend It?: Yes, if you’re looking for an easy to read and slightly angsty friends-to-lovers, boss/employee romance。 Would I Read Something By The Author Again?: Yes。Content Warnings: (view spoiler)[Sexual assault (in past, hero is intoxicated when his friend’s girlfriend assaults him, he only comes to see it as an assault in the course of the story when talking to the heroine), miscarriage, accidental pregnancy, descriptions of poverty。 (hide spoiler)] 。。。more

Carly is so clever in the way so many of her series have tie ins with each other。 Linc Kingston has made a cameo appearance previously but he left enough of an impression that once I knew he was one of the main characters in this book I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it。Linc’s story is a best friends to lovers and I always enjoy reading the characters make that decision to take that unknown step。 The uncertainty of them ruining something that may not even work out。 But from the outset Linc and Carly is so clever in the way so many of her series have tie ins with each other。 Linc Kingston has made a cameo appearance previously but he left enough of an impression that once I knew he was one of the main characters in this book I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it。Linc’s story is a best friends to lovers and I always enjoy reading the characters make that decision to take that unknown step。 The uncertainty of them ruining something that may not even work out。 But from the outset Linc and Jordan just had this connection that had me anticipating that step。 It flowed seamlessly even with both of them stating it would never happen again!!!

It was hilarious and sweet, but Jordan was not easily won over and Linc definitely had it work cut out for him。Their bond was so strong, unfortunately, so was the trauma from their past which created some big obstacles for our couple。 Not to mention Kenneth Kingston, Linc’s deceased father, created some big issues for the family with his last few business deals which brings Linc’s past drama to his present in the form of his old friend, Beck。I enjoyed how Linc loved his Jordan even though he did have a not so great moment, but he got it together in the end。I look forward to Just One Scandal which features Chloe, Linc’s sister, and Breck ;)We get cameos from Willow and Braden。 。。。more

I’m so happy to see what happened with her and her introduction to the family。 It made me want to read all of their books, but now it’s Linc’s time, the older one of the group and the one who was the head of the business of their deceased awful dad。Linc is dealing a lot, he needs to put the business back on track after their dad almost destroyed everything and now he found out that he has a half sister, Aurora, who he never met and was left hanging dry by their dad。 Good thing he has his childhood best friend slash personal assistant slash his everything, at his side。 Seriously he would be in bad sheets without her。I loved Jordan so much, how independent and strong she was。 Even though she’s been at his side for her whole life, people doesn’t let her forget that their are from very different worlds, that said, she was their maid daughter。 I hated that for her, because she was so much better than any of those people who said those things to her。 Anyway when things got rough for Linc, they finally crossed the friendship line and explored their chemistry。My only hesitation was regarding the pregnancy thing that we were promised。 I hoped it happened sooner and were more developed, because I thought it would start around half of the book and honestly, it was almost at the end。 Other than that I loved everything and can’t wait to read the other stories! 。。。more

Classic Carly Phillips5 starsI do so love Carly Phillips。 She and her writing are a shot of happy, sexy romance that always hits the spot。This book is the first in a new series following the Kingston Family。 The family got name-checked in a previous book (Dare To Stay) and there is one cross-over character, but the book 100% stands alone。 So if you’re new to Carly Phillips - you can definitely start with this book。Two of my favourite tropes are mashed together in this story - best friends to Classic Carly Phillips5 starsI do so love Carly Phillips。 She and her writing are a shot of happy, sexy romance that always hits the spot。This book is the first in a new series following the Kingston Family。 The family got name-checked in a previous book (Dare To Stay) and there is one cross-over character, but the book 100% stands alone。 So if you’re new to Carly Phillips - you can definitely start with this book。Two of my favourite tropes are mashed together in this story - best friends to lovers and workplace romance。 Although, it’s probably more of the first。 And Linc and Jordan are definitely best friends。 They make a cute pairing as friends and I love how easy and familiar their relationship is。 Having said that, the move into lovers seemed effortless and it was nice to find friends who take that step and then can suck it up after the fact, not wanting to lose the other by making a big deal of their time together。 Even if we can easily see the pair are smitten with each other。Jordan was a great character - a classic Phillips’ heroine。 She’s smart, driven, sassy, sexy and fun。 Yet she has very relatable issues and problems that make you love and root for her。 While a large part of her reluctance to make her relationship with Linc something more is their difference in class - it was never overdone and neither Jordan nor the story created drama purely for the sake of drama。Linc, too, was a great character。 He was strong, alpha and a bit of a hot head。 I don’t mind that in a character。 I also didn’t mind that he was something of a grump。 In fact, it made me love him more! But despite my love of all things grumpy - I especially loved the fact that Jordan could calm Linc down when he was upset, angry and etc。 It was like they each balanced the other out and I adore that in any couple。As always with Carly Phillips, she brings enough heat to burn down a forest。 She definitely gave me those wonderful, shiver-inducing butterflies in the stomach feelings whenever our characters got it on。 Or even with just an innocent touch or a charged look。 She’s the queen of the sizzle, after all。I really enjoyed this story and I just flew through the story。 With that said, I got extra giddy in the epilogue when the couple in the next book in the series are revealed。 About half way through this book I totally called it and I cannot wait to read that story next。 Carly Phillips is onto another winner with this series and I’m already in love with the Kingston Family as a whole。 5 stars from me!* I received this book in exchange for my honest review。* 。。。more
